Viraah by that_sarcastic_gal

The friendship between Lord Krishna and the Pandava Prince Arjuna has been an eternal edict flowing throughout the undulous waves of their fated lives. Their bond so deep that none could fathom the beginning nor the end. And yet a diabolical twist of fate saw Madhusudhana rip apart the very bond the Lord of Dwarka has time and again claimed has been unbreakable, eternal and the most beloved, to him. Can Arjuna endure this separation from the one who has always possessed his very spirit? The one whom he has followed unfailingly, undoubted, unflinching, navigating the treacherous maze of his tragic destiny? The one whom he has worshipped his entire life? Sometimes a single change in a sequence of events can start a cascade of dominos which can turn the wheel of fate towards unperceived directions. The Great War of Mahabharata has already commenced. The Pandavas and the Kauravas have clashed in an epic battle of brains and brawn over a blood soaked Kurukshetra. The conclusion of this savage fight - the establishment of the ultimate Dharmarajya and reclaim justice against heinous evil which has been wreaked for power. But how will the future of Aryavarta appear now that her greatest warrior's future remains uncertain? Cover Credit: - @that_sarcasric_girl

Eldest : Karna and Pandava by crystalllchild

WEEKLY UPDATE ⋋⁠✿✿⁠⋌⋋⁠✿✿⁠⋌⋋⁠✿✿⁠⋌⋋⁠✿✿⁠⋌⋋⁠✿✿⁠⋌⋋⁠✿ This story is not meant to hurt anyone's religious feelings. This fanfiction is loosely based on the epic Mahabharata and I don't own the epic or it's characters (obviously). story is set in an AU where Karna never lied to his teacher and the proper tutelage under the Bhagwan Parshuram helped him get over the urge to prove himself to anyone. And thus the Karna in this story happens to not participate in the Kalapradarshan (duel between the princes of Kuru) and chose an entirely different path in his life. let's see what if the Eldest Kauntey and his brothers get to know eachother and about his Birth secret just before the Kurukshetra was about to break out.

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.
