Does the Moon Yearn for the Sun? by Amrutha4ever

[ COMPLETED ] When war steals everything and truth arrives too late, can love still find a way? Or will it vanish like the sun at dusk and the moon at dawn? Urmila, an ordinary woman from the 21st century, never imagined her life would take a turn beyond time itself-until a near-death accident hurls her into the heart of the Mahabharata. Lost in an era of warriors, kings, and divine prophecies, she finds herself entangled in the fate of the Kuru dynasty. At first, her only desire is to return home. But that changes the moment she meets Angaraj Karna-the radiant, tragic son of the Sun God. A man scorned by society yet bound by unshakable honor. A warrior cursed by fate yet overflowing with kindness. And a heart so fierce and noble that it threatens to consume her own. As the great war of Kurukshetra looms, Urmila faces an impossible choice: should she defy fate itself to save the man she loves, or let history unfold as it was written? Her journey is one of love and loss, sacrifice and self-discovery, forcing her to question whether destiny can be rewritten-or if some souls are meant to burn together, only to fade apart. Can love truly transcend time, or will Urmila's arrival only deepen the tragedy that awaits Karna?

"Previously Titled 'Saga of the Timeless': Undergoing Major Revisions" What if the Mahabharata we know... had already failed? Once, it did. The Pandavas fell. Adharma rose. Aryavarta burned. On Kurukshetra's blood-soaked field, as Arjun lay dying, his eyes opened to the impossible- a world reset, a second chance. Only he remembers the ruin that came before.

As envy poisons Hastinapur, two houses march toward destruction. And Ishvitha finds herself pulled between two blazing forces: ⚡ Thunder-fierce, consuming, impossible to escape. ☀️ Sunlight-steady, unshakable, a strength that endures. But desire is only the beginning. Why must an ordinary woman become the key to an extraordinary war? Why does Arjun guard her with a paranoia that borders on madness? And if history can be rewritten... what terrible price will fate demand? At the heart of the Mahabharata's beginning- where love and hate blur, and fire consumes everything- Ishvitha must face a truth that could save Aryavarta... or doom it forever. ✨ A mythological tale of destiny and time, where even the greatest epic can shatter-and begin again.

A Change of Fate by Raijin1996

In a twist of fate, the destinies of Karna, Arjuna, and Suyodhan intertwine on the 17th day after the death of Karna, as their memories are transported to their minds when they are at the pivotal stages of their lives. Karna, the anti-hero with an unwavering sense of loyalty; Arjuna, the skilled archer and arguably the hero of the epic filled with wrath due to suffering inflicted on them by his relatives; and Suyodhan, the antagonist whose choices led to the death of all whom he held dear, find themselves reliving their lives from a pivotal point. One of them swore off the war to protect his brothers, another swore to destroy any seeds of war and the third was left confused when there was no target to point his bow at. This is a bit controversial fic. But please give this a try.
