After Seeta's departure, Rama finds himself in a strange bind with his children- strangers to him in all but name. Dealing with the loss of the one thread that could've connected them, they struggle to find common ground.

Note: I will not follow Valmiki's Ramayana exactly for this story, thanks!

Note: This work does not make use of GenAI tools in any shape or form on account of my strong belief that the use of such tools is a sacrilegious betrayal to human nature itself. Hence, if you are looking for such content, please feel free to not interact with my work. Thanks! :)

The Princes of Ayodhya-The Ramayan Through Short Stories by Mochis4lifeq52627
188 parts Ongoing
Ancient India. Approximately 7 thousand years ago. The Kingdom of Kosala. A dutiful crown prince exiled from his kingdom for fourteen years. A loving wife who follows him, and is captured. A demon king who threatens the entire mortal population of the world. Ram, the eldest of the four princes of Ayodhya, is known to be righteous, good, and an eternal follower of justice and law. Beloved by all in his home state of Kosala and beyond, he defeats thousands of demons even in his teenage years, fabled as an undefeatable, almost Godly hero. His marries the beautiful Sita, and is all set to be crowned king. Then, the unthinkable happens. He's sentenced to 14 years of exile. Followed by his loyal wife and a brother who would sacrifice his life for him, Ram makes his way into the Chitrakut forest near his home city, and makes a life there killing demons, gathering berries, and blissfully awaiting for his exile to finish. When his wife is kidnapped and kept prisoner in the land of Lanka by a lustful demon king named Ravan whose devilish exploits litter the pages of books and haunt children's nightmares, Ram has to follow a track, make allies, and find friends in the world of terror. Ram has to wage a war against a king who has never lost. Ram has to reclaim his wife and be crowned the king of Ayodhya without losing himself. This tale navigates a life before exile, a life throughout exile, and a life after the exile which redefined the word 'hardship', tested relationships, lives, and strength. This is the story of the Ramayan. (Warning-This story is very funny and really not as serious as the description)

Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong? *** It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed. Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out? Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her? Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires. *This story is a standalone title in the Haverston Family series.

"Raavan wont be spared!! Nor will the ones who supported him! This is the vow of Dashrathnanan Ram" The loving lord of the three universes declared, eyes blazing with fury and unshed tears "RAGHAV!!!!" The eldest daughter of Janak screamed, being dragged mercilessly into the pushpaka vimana against her will by the evil King of Lanka "Why maa? Did I ever ask?" It came out as a whimper from the lips of Bharat, as he hastily wiped his tears and unlocked the door, facing the world with a brave smile on his face "If thats your decision, then so be it. I wont accompany you to nandigram, Dashrathnandan" Mandavi said firmly, locking her eyes with those of her husband "you have feelings towards me, dont you? Why else are you here" Lakshman's heart snapped into two hearing her words, but he remained silent and swallowed his tears As always. "I am going along, Mila" Lakshman's voice Rang in their room, making Urmila flinch. But she was quick to hide her despair. With a smile on her face, she nodded, sending him away. "Why? Why did you have to leave, Bhaiyya? I dont want to be alone..." Shatrughan's heart was not in a state to accept anything of what happened, but his mind had to. For there was no option left. "You arent alone. I am there, now and always." Shrutakirthi said, squeezing her Husband's hand in her own. She knew she had to be strong, and she will be. ************ BUT How was the relationship between those brothers, who are now our idols? How was the relationship between those sisters, whom we look upto today? How were their relationships as Brothers and Sisters in law? What were these heroes and heroines, as humans? What were their exact emotions when they had to go through all that they did? This book is to comprehend just that. PS- The shades of characters is my own guesses, pls dont read if you feel you would be offended if I show their human shades. Thank you. Cover credits to- @jessica1310_

The Inseparable Princes by Ramayana_lover
120 parts Complete
Ramayana. An Indian epic that has lived through the centuries and has only grown even more in the process. An epic that shows ideal characters, many of whom we worship, and other characters from whom we learn what we shouldn't be at any cost. But one thing that has been a constant for many centuries now is the examples we give, referring to the epic. One of the most popular ones being "Be a brother like Rama." Not only is the Ramayana an enchanting tale of love and devotion, but it's also an equally magical example of brotherhood and affection. Brothers who stood with each other through thick and thin. Brothers who would readily sacrifice their life for the other. Brothers who would love the other, and support him when nobody else did. This book brings to you the Ramayana, but this time, the limelight is on the inseparable brothers. *** Disclaimer: Please do not read this book if you do not like humanization of deities. However, I can assure you that ALL relationships in this book are shown the way they're meant to be - no non-canon shipping. I can also assure you, that since I myself am a devotee of Shri Rama, that you will never have me intentionally writing anything against him, his real nature - the same goes for the others - Sita, Lakshmana, Urmila, Bharata, Mandavi, Shatrughna, Shrutakeerti, Dasharatha, the mothers... All of them will always get their due respect in this book. Secondly, I've followed the Valmiki Ramayana throughout. Some incidents may be revelations, as quite a few things are contrary to popular perception and other versions. Thank you! Fantastic cover designed by @Mochis4lifeq52627 <3
