Aru and Aiden love each other. That's the one thing they're sure of. Sure, there was some trouble along the way, but eventually they figured it out, like they always do. Now they're happy, and safe, and comfortable. But when Aru's dad calls her to help him win a case, they uncover deadly secrets that just might be the end of more than their relationship.

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?

A Series of Aru Shah Oneshots
Major spoilers for all the books. There is an unfortunate lack of Aru Shah fanfiction on the Internet, so I decided to write my own. A lot of Aru x Aiden because I love them, as well as other ships, a lot of angst and fluff, incorrect quotes, and more!Complete
Mini Lopez And The Gandharva's Child
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!Complete

But that might change when they decide to fake date to be rid of the nosy aunties' prying eyes. Sparks fly, but will they eventually die out?Complete
