The fake dating Aruden fic you've all been waiting for! Aiden Acharya never imagined he would ever date anyone, let alone fake date someone. But when he's forced into a desperate situation by his father, he turns to Aru Shah for help. Aru didn't anticipate fake dating on her list of fall activities, but she'll do anything to help Aiden--as a friend, of course. But love is a tricky thing, and admitting it is the hardest thing of all. Can they overcome their own demons and confront the truth of their hearts before it's too late? Title from the Taylor Swift song and cover image from Picrew maker "Heart makeup."

A continuation of Tree of Wishes. Read at your own risk (spoiler warnings and mild cliffhangers). These were taken from my "A Series of Aru Shah Oneshots" because I felt they were better in a separate fic. The chapters have been revamped and many parts have been edited. Note: This fic is incomplete and I currently have no plans to finish it.
