Aruden Stories

Aru Shah and Aiden Acharya were childhood best friends-until Aru left without a word. Years later, they reunite at Mini and Rudy's wedding, forced to navigate unresolved tension, lingering feelings, and the question of whether they were ever just friends. With wedding chaos keeping them close, they must decide: stay strangers or take a second chance on something more. Read my other stories:)

Arundhati Shah's life is perfectly ordinary, until a mysterious letter sealed with impossible wax arrives on a Tuesday morning. The letter that tells her she's been accepted to Devas Academy of Divine Arts and Celestial Warfare. The letter that reveals the magical world her exiled mother has kept hidden for fourteen years. Aru's mother, Krithika Shah, was once part of magical society, until she fell in love with the wrong man, got pregnant, and was stripped of her powers in front of the entire Magical Council. Exiled. Bound. Used as a cautionary tale whispered to young girls: Don't end up like Krithika Shah. Now Aru must enter the world that destroyed her mother, knowing nothing about her dead father except his name: Suyodhana. Knowing she'll be judged instantly for her mother's "shame." Knowing that magical society is obsessed with bloodlines, hierarchy, and keeping the "pure" families in power. At Devas Academy, everything depends on your heritage. The Cosmic Mirror sorts students into houses based on their bloodline: Chandra for the pure-blooded elite, Agni for demon-descended warriors, Vayu for celestial servants, and Surya for everyone else-the orphans, the unknown, the undesirable. Everyone assumes Aru will end up in Surya, if she's allowed to attend at all. But Aru has six weeks to prepare. Six weeks to learn everything about a society designed to reject her. Six weeks to memorize the names of powerful families, the complex web of alliances, and the devastating truth about what happened to the Vajra bloodline, the legendary family that went mysteriously extinct a hundred years ago, leaving their perfect matches, the Acharyas, mourning the loss of their greatest allies.

*All characters within this book belong to Roshni Chokshi* Aiden Acharya likes things neat, predictable, and quiet. Aru Shah is none of those things. She's loud, chaotic, and has a habit of barging straight through the emotional walls Aiden carefully built after his parents' messy divorce. While Aiden believes silence is safety, Aru believes life should be lived loudly-and she's determined to prove that happiness isn't something to be afraid of. Somewhere between her chaos and his careful world, Aiden starts to realize something terrifying: He might actually be falling in love. -BookFan33 & Oabiiss_flamboyant

Did Aru want to go to the new years party? No. Would she rather be on her couch in her pajamas watching Lord of the Rings while eating way too much Swedish Fish? Who wouldn't? Her father. Her father wouldn't. He wanted her to go there and "socialize" which was code for "you need to find someone to marry because your life's really sad". It was some party for his law firm he started with one of his friends too, not even like a rager which would've been mildly fun. Aiden's father was a crappy one at best. So when Aiden's dad made him the photographer at some stupid new years party that he was throwing for his law firm, of course he protested. But he couldn't look at his mom so happy about it and still tell her that he didn't wanna do it. So he was still the photographer. Shit. When they both meet, (it's up to you to guess what happens, pretty easy) Okay so this is my first fanfic so please don't make fun of it if it's like REALLY bad but there's an unfortunate lack of aru shah aus that I HAVEN'T read and I'm like obsessed with aruden it's starting to become an issue hahah i'll TRY to update, and if I have writers block or smth i'll give yall a heads up and write something in place of it:) and yes this is very much based off of new years day by taylor swift AS OF NOVEMBER 2025: first place in the RR Presents category for the Fireworks Demigod Choice Awards second place in the Best Platonic Relationship category for Aru and Rudy for the FIreworks Demigod Choice Awards

ARUDEN ONESHOTS!! I own nothing, all characters belong to QUEEN ROSHANI Please, do not steal these ideas as they are mine. If you do want to take inspiration, I'd be happy to give you my permission - just ask me first. Thanks for reading!

Aru Shah's life get's absolutely upturned when she has to move from her beloved mother's house to her aunt's orphanage. Not choice, but need. But there, she finds true companionship when she meets Mini and Brynne who are also stranded in the place. And the mysterious, closed up, Aiden Acharya: beautiful, perfect, ethereal. And silent. He won't talk to her, anyone, and no one knows anything about him. As Aru navigates the true secrets behind her sentence to the orphanage and helps Brynne understand her past, she finds herself drawn to the cold boy who keeps everyone out.

This is an AU from the book serie "Aru Shah". Big part of the characters are from the awesome Roshani Chokshi. Aru have lost everything because The Otherworld, a secret spy society. The ones that were supposed to protected her, turned her back to her when they discovered who her dad was (a murder part of the Dark). They killed their mother, a member of the society, and left her in a world of shadows. Her father, the Sleeper, took care of her and her big sister, Kara, after that, teaching them how to use their powers and turning them in murderers. Even though Aru try to keep everyone away, she let pass her walls to Yamini, Mini, her best friend, who was recruited to form part of the Dark, when the Otherworldly rejected her for her brother. Meanwhile, Aiden hates the Dark with all his heart. They took everything from him and he had to live since then with his cousin Rudra, Rudy. He trained to became a spy like his parents with her awesome best friend Brynne Rao, and taking care of two orphans with special abilities, Nikita and Sheela. But what happened when Aru and Aiden get to know each other for the first time? When they stories collided and find someone just like them, but that's fighting for the opposite? And ----------------TOP SECRET----------------- THIS FILE HAS BEEN CENSORED BY THE OTHERWORLD AND THE DARK.

Anybody with eyes could see that Suyodhana and Krithika Shah still loved each other, even five years after their divorce. Suyodhana took Aru Shah and left for New York after finding out that Kara Shah was not his biological daughter. Now back in Atlanta after fifteen-year-old Aru begged to visit Kara, the two have less than two weeks to reunite their parents and bring their family together again. However, things get complicated when Aiden Acharya-next-door neighbor, previously best friend (and crush) of Aru, and fellow child of divorce-learns of the matter.

Check out my first book too! I LOVE ARU SHAH!

Aru Shah isn't a normal high schooler. Sure, she dreads homework. Yeah, she has a complicated love life (and by complicated, I mean messed up af). And yet, she doesn't fit in. There's one side of her only her closest friends know. She is a Pandava. A reincarnation of the great Arjuna. While other teenagers gossip and talk, Aru here is fighting for her life and is saving the world every few months. While her peers learn about WW1 and algebra, Aru learns about war formations and Hindu mythology. Even though half the time she feels like it's the end of the world, she and her friends fight till the end. Who is Urvashi? Who's Hanuman? And who the heck is Indra? Find out with Aru on this thrilling adventures in this book full of Aus, oneshots, head cannons, and more!

I randomly thought up of this while humming "Never Acting at All" by Melina KD. Yes, I just created Song of the Sea, for those of you who are here because of one of my other fanfics, and I haven't finished any of my other Aru Shah fanfics, but I got an idea, okay? Aru Shah's an actress. No, not a famous one, but enough to make money while she works on her (not yet published) books, just enough to live in a small apartment, afford groceries, and also own a small laptop. Aiden Acharya's an actor, hard at work, working to become a photographer. He's pretty famous, mainly for his looks, but he also works on only small plays...all of which get sold out quickly once people figure out that he's acting at that play. What happens when they both try out for, "The Little Mermaid" musical, and they get cast as Eric and Ariel? They both know that a relationship is unprofessional when you're both in a play together. But what will happen? What if they fall in love? (All characters, that aren't characters I created, belong to Roshani Chokshi, I think that that's her name, I forgot, and this is a human AU! The cover isn't mine either-it's the cover for the album "Playing Adult" by Melina KD, I just added the "Never Acting at All" at the top, and the, "BY: Parker88" at the bottom.)

When a new attack is being planned by evil What happens when the potatoes are sent on a quest to learn something new and meet new people. What happens when 7 new Demi-gods show up to camp half blood on the same day. Not just any Demi-gods, but as powerful as the 7 or maybe even more Character are not mine, credits for to original authors

After doing something mortifying in front of a new detective in her precinct, Mini's now paired up with him to catch a kidnapper. But little do Mini and her new partner, Rudy, know that chasing him will lead them down a dangerous path that will threaten the people they love- and them. ---- "She looked up at him, something close to the beginnings of hope entering her eyes, as, abruptly, she leaned forward, and threw her arms around him, enveloping him in a hug. It took him by surprise, but he slowly returned the hug, his arms going to her back, her body emanating warmth. Through his own, fluttering heartbeat, he heard hers: steady and faint, something comforting. Slowly but steadily, Rudy felt his own heart fall into tandem with hers." -Chapter 8 ---- TW: Death threats, mentions of SA, death, substance abuse, and mature language. ----

Hey!! This is my first book, so constructive critism is fine!! Please don't leave any hate commentsor anything!! This is basically an amazing book with everything ARU SHAH!!!! This will be a breat book and I hope you read it!!!!! ---- Puppy

This book was started before Aru Shah and the City of Gold came out, so this is just plain chapter from before the book. THEN after that the ACTUAL part of the book happens. EXCEPT for the first two chapters.. SO FROM CHAPTER WHENEVER ARU GETS HOME! Also a little chapter from the 8 month gap. ENJOY! (I am TERRIBLE at descriptions-)

Aru's life is great : she has two best friends who will always support her, no matter what ; annoying parents she loves ; and herself, crazy, funny and altogether amazing Arundhati Shah. But... she feels like she's missing something [or someone ;)]. What she doesn't know is that that's about to change. One day her life is turned upside down (in a good way?) by Aiden Acharya's arrival in town...
