action aiden aruden arushah brynne fanslovetowtite hira hirynne mini mystery rudy snakeofdeath

Aru Shah loves her job. Wouldn't you when you're a well known detective? When you're called 'the Sherlock Holmes of the era'?

Her streak was a case solved in 6 days! Well on official documentation, it says 5 days 18 hours and 53 minutes, but the official news says 6 days. Whatever.

Plus, her sisters worked there! Could it get any better?

But she works alone. Solo was the best way to go, after all.

That being said, could you imagine her reaction when they say she has to work with someone equally as good as her? Well, first, she wasn't used to it, and second, her pride was at stake here!

But this was also the most dangerous case she has gotten in...forever. Will working with him slow her down? Or will they finish it quickly?

Will they reach The Light at the End of the Tunnel in time?

TW: mentions of blood, fatal injuries, death, weapons, SA, and abuse.

*~°•SECRETS •°~* by Blackknightwrites

*Airyana* In a husky whisper, Dhairya leaned into her ear. "I told you... I don't talk. I prove it with my actions." He spun her around to face him, holding her waist tightly with one hand, while the other slid to the back of her neck. Before she could protest, he kissed her. At first, the kiss was soft, almost tender, but it quickly deepened into something more forceful, more intense. His hands roamed over her body, pulling her closer, as if he couldn't get enough. Aradhana struggled against him, trying to push him away. She bit down on her lip to stop him, hoping it would make him pull back. But instead, Dhairya retaliated, biting her lip harder, causing it to bleed. A sharp pain shot through her, and she felt the warmth of her blood trickling down the side of her mouth. *Ruvinash* Avinash smiled but didn't give in. Ruhi jumped to reach it, but lost her balance. She closed her eyes, bracing for the fall, but two strong arms caught her. She opened her eyes to find herself in Avinash's embrace, their faces inches apart. For a moment, time seemed to stand still. Ruhi, flustered, grabbed the book from his hand as he snapped out of his thoughts. She pushed him away playfully and said, "Everything is fair in love and war." "Okay then," he replied, pulling her close again with a jerk. *Ishika* Do I play it subtle? Or do I just-no, no, Mishika, calm down. You can't come on too strong. Play it cool. Play it safe. Just... make sure you stay close. Give him little hints. Smile when he looks your way. Laugh at his jokes, even if they're terrible. Basically, be the charming, irresistible version of yourself. Simple, right? Ugh, who am I kidding? Nothing about this is simple. But I'll figure it out. I mean, this is Jay Malhotra we're talking about. And if there's one thing I've learned, it's that sometimes, you have to fight for what-or who-you want. And I want him. Game on, Jay Malhotra. Game on. ____________________________________

But, little does Aru know that searching for the killer will unearth family secrets she'll prefer left hidden in the shadows... ---- "He dug his nails into his palm, crescent moon shaped scars bleeding against his skin, as, with trembling, sweaty hands, he grasped the doorknob, and stumbled into his room, slamming the door behind him. The same thought echoed in his head: Neither of us are safe here." -Chapter XXIX ---- An Aru Shah Human! AU. ---- NOTE: TW for death threats, murder, gore, substance abuse, and mature language.

There's only two roles a woman like me fit into... Villian or victim. And i... Refuse to remain as victim. It's my life... I'll write according to me... Even if i have to write the merciless end of culprits. "Dedicated to those who chase the truth, even when it hides in the shadows. May your journey be as unpredictable as the tale within these pages." ・Revenge ・Remorse ・Retribution ☞・Mystery・Crime ・Thrill Rose met with an accident and lost her family.

Mini Lopez And The Gandharva's Child by queenofapeacefuldawn

It's a few days after Aru's birthday, and the Pandava training is in full swing. Just now, it's more rigorous, since the Potatoes are going to have to use 'normal weapons'. Aiden calls in a favor from a friend of his, which leads to a chain reaction of events. *This story consists of fluff, and angst, mainly. The farthest I go from fluff is kiss scenes, so..... yeah. Nothing inappropriate though. This story contains: Jealous Rudy (I enjoyed writing him) Overprotective Aiden (I enjoyed writing him too) Matchmakers Aru and Brynne (Heck, they were the most fun to write) Necromancy (I am fascinated by that subject to write) A death prophecy (Cause why not?!) A whole lotta angst (Y'all aren't ready for this) And don't worry, fluff at the end........ DISCLAIMER: ALL THE CHARACTERS BELONG TO ROSHANI CHOKSHI! EXCEPT FOR SHAURYA AND DR. KAPESH!

Snapshots by Loife1m

When it came to her sister's crush, Aru Shah couldn't care less than she already did. She didn't even know the guy, and it didn't help that he was the hot topic in all of Kara's and Aru's conversations. She knew she had to meet the dude someday, because of their mutual friend group, but she didn't expect to meet him to help him and Kara for their project. It helped her too, so what was the point in denying? Aiden knew people only liked him, and talked to him because of his looks. He knew love was a waste of time, because the guy Aiden actually was was someone who nobody cared about. But when one of his friends came up to him and told him that she had found a model for their end-of-year project, he readily accepted, not knowing that this one person would make him change his perspective. In the end, he realised, there were albums of snapshots, all overflowing with pictures of memories he never knew he wanted.
