After finding her boyfriend cheating on her, Khushi is absolutely livid! So her best friend, Lavanya, decides that they needed to have a girls night - go out, have fun, drink a lot, and find a rebound for Khushi. Little did Khushi realize that the man she would meet - who had quite a few more years than her - would be so much more....

They grew up together. They were meant to be together. He knew it. So did she. ...And so did he. What happens when the boy next door, your best friend, and the college hunk tells you he is in love? With you? Set in 90s in the quaint city of Pune, this is a story of friendship, loyalties, relationships, misunderstandings, and romance. Arnav and Khushi take the journey of being best friends to soulmates one day at a time. Love is never easy but always finds its way even if it's across three continents.

"It's not a story of a hero fighting a dragon to save the world. It's the story of a dragon who will burn the world to the ground if anyone dares to touch his princess." I don't own Arnav and Khushi, and this story is purely fictional. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. This story is a submission to the 13th Anniversary Arshi Fiesta 2024, according to the moodboard Mafia AU x Age gap x Arshi on Tumblr. This story is inspired partly by one of my fav couples Oliver Queen and Felicity Smoak aka Olicity from the CW show 'Arrow' which was made according to a DC comic character 'Green Arrow' and partly by darkverse. To enjoy this story you don't have to know any of these. It can be enjoyed as a stand-alone.

Raised in a small, traditional town, Khushi Kumari Gupta's world is turned upside down when she crosses paths with the enigmatic Arnav Singh Raizada.

Arnav, a man who thrives on control, is unprepared for the storm that is Khushi - a woman of faith, heart, and determination. As their worlds collide, Khushi is thrust into a life under the unforgiving glare of the public eye, bringing about a fierce protectiveness in Arnav that surprises even him. In a story that blends passion, conflict, and the power of love, Iqraar explores the sparks that fly when two very different worlds collide. This is a fanfiction based on Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? set in an alternate universe. Story, concept and everything else except the characters' names belong to me. That said, I do like to include elements and references from the show here and there and in those cases complete credit to the makers. Please do not copy. It would really hurt to see this work elsewhere without my knowledge.

Set in the quiet, nostalgic corners of the 1990s, Skybound and OceanBreeze is a tender story of love, heartbreak, and the unspoken threads that tie two souls across miles and time. Amid the hum of dial-up internet and the warmth of handwritten letters, Arnav and Khushi-two teenagers from different worlds-find each other in the digital sanctuary of an ICQ chatroom. What begins as playful banter between their aliases, Skybound and OceanBreeze, grows into something profound, a connection neither of them expected but both desperately needed. Arnav, a boy from Amritsar with a heart full of unspoken dreams, juggles the weight of family responsibilities and his own quiet longing for more. Khushi, a girl from Bangalore seeking refuge from a life of unrelenting expectations, hides her brokenness beneath a spirited smile. Together, through words on a screen, they discover a space to shed their fears and be utterly, beautifully human.
