Water to The Fire - Pandava x Reader - A Mahabharata Fanfiction

You were only a small child when you were brought to the kingdom of Hastinapur as an orphan. Lord Bhisma, kindest of men, took pity on your plight and adopted you, raising you within the palace walls alongside the five Pandava brothers.

Though you were not of royal blood, the princes were kind to you and you became their close friend and companion through the years of shared childhood. Your gentle, calm demeanor served as a soothing balm to their more fiery spirits, especially the impulsive Bhima and Arjuna.

As you grew into a young woman under Bhisma's care, your friendship with the Pandavas deepened into something more complex. Secretly, each of the brothers felt a growing affection for you, though none dared speak of it for fear of causing strife between them. You remained oblivious to their hidden feelings, content in your role as a sister and confidant.

One fateful day, everything changed when arrangements were made for your marriage - not to one man, but all five Pandava brothers as was customary. You were shocked at this revelation, never imagining your childhood friends could be your future husbands. How would you adjust to this new dynamic, sharing a life and their hearts? And would the brothers' camaraderie survive, or be torn asunder by desires of the heart?

Your new life was set to begin, filled with both the sweetness of love and the bitterness of betrayal as the great war slowly approached on the horizon. Your role in shaping the brothers' destiny had only just begun.
