"Deus Et Machina". A Latin phrase meaning simply: God and Machine. The two words that have never been more contrasting.
A fun story, where we travel through time, go on adventures, solve mysteries and meet people old and new, all with our dear Krishna Kanhaiya!
P.S. I will be indulging in all the hammy, over-the-top cliches that I have ever dreamed about, so buckle up!

Mysterious Time Traveler in Dwapara Yuga
In the mystical era of Dwapara Yuga, there existed a mysterious time traveler-a girl who wove her existence through countless aliases, concealing her true name and identity. Only four individuals knew her intimately, forming an unbreakable bond that transcended lifetimes. Together, they navigated the ebb and flow of existence, from life to death and back again. Behind the veil of secrecy, she held immense power. Since her teenage years, she had subtly shaped the world, showing kindness to those who deserved it and unleashing wrath upon those who dared to cross her. To her loved ones, she appeared as an innocent child, her personality bubbling with warmth. But to outsiders, she emanated an enigmatic calmness-a silent force that could alter destinies. In an unexpected twist of fate, she found herself transported back to the era of great warriors-a time when valour clashed against destiny, and legends were forged in the crucible of battle. The catalyst for this temporal journey was a seemingly innocuous mistake made by someone she deeply cared for-a mistake that reverberated through the ages. She found herself reborn as the daughter of a benevolent king and queen. Three elder brothers surrounded her, their protective love shielding her from the tumultuous currents of fate. And so, she stepped into the annals of history, her modern sensibilities colliding with an ancient world.
Dhi
Featured by WATTPAD ASIAN FANTASY Thoughts are quite dangerous things; fleeting one moment and drowning us the other. A tangle of fine web that slowly entraps us; influencing our speech and actions. And when woven together, it presents a tale of unwavering love. "The setting sun, the moon and the stars were the witness to our love in Kamyaka Forest as they are now. If you truly love me as I love you, then fate will have to bend before our love. The Gods won't let any other woman be my wife before you become mine and I become yours." Of self discovery. "You carry the three gunas in harmony, a feat not even achieved by primodial deities." Of ambitions. "May you not fail as the suta king did." Of navigating through various relations. "Let this be a lesson on how to string beads together, Nakulamohini; a lesson from one palace woman to another." Of an ordinary girl's journey through time to become extraordinary. Abhijishya - Nakulamohini - Dhruvi Flip through the pages to unravel the essence of Dhi. ╞═══════𖠁𐂃𖠁═══════╡ DISCLAIMER : This book is purely fictional and does not claim any mythological or historical accuracy in any way.

Adamya
अन्तः अस्ति प्रारंभः। The end is the beginning. A caterpillar dies, to birth a butterfly. Water evaporates to rain down. Dead carcasses fill the stomachs of vultures.Life gives way to death and death to life. In a vicious circle of different karmas and janmas, a soul leaves a decaying body to move onto something better and livelier. But what if certain karmas are found hanging on the thin string between salvation and damnation? This is exactly where Mihira Ramnath Subhedar finds herself. The last of the many Kaliyugis, she was holding on to the narrowest beam that would lead her towards eternal the light, or so she thought. Poets were liars, she discovered when the end neared. There was nothing peaceful about death, no rest and no respite; just an ounce of faith which made her believe that she would finally find a place at the Lord's feet. But the ever merciful Leeladhari had discrete intents for such a soul that had just witnessed the end of the heinous yuga. "No, ain't Vaikuntha but Dvāpara. Good luck completing the unfinished business!" Walk along the aisle with Mihira while she embarks on the greatest pilgrimage of her rekindled life, witnesses the red of the Swastika being washed over by the red of vengeful blood and being swept off her feet by a man she'd never heard of.

Paschyatap ~ Repenting Thy Sins
"Stop following me! Just let me go and leave me in peace!" she pleaded, struggling against his unrelenting grip. "I won't. Not today, not ever. Not after finding you again," he said firmly. "I don't belong here. This isn't my place. Let me go," she begged, desperation in her voice. He shook his head. "You've always belonged. Since the beginning of time, we were meant to be together." "You'll never convince me," she snapped. "I won't be part of this farce or let you treat me like an object without a will of my own." "It's not a farce. It's as real as the sun, and you will be part of it-whether you want to or not. Your only desire should be our companionship," he declared. "Please," she whispered, one last plea as her hand inched toward her waistband. "The only thing left to do... do it for her, if not for love. " he ordered. "For love?" she murmured, shaken. Then her expression hardened. "But love was never an option," she spat, her voice dripping with disgust-before she struck with full force. It wasn't supposed to end like this. Anwesha-once a soldier by choice, not birth-had embraced duty for her nation. But one failed mission led her to the dark waters of the Ganges. Caught in a whirlpool, she accepted death like an old friend. Yet, she didn't die. She woke up in another timeline, but here, she didn't belong. A misfit, a lone coal in a chest of gold. She wasn't chosen by fate, nor favored by the gods-just an accident struggling to return home. But every path back was closed. Trapped, she resolved to be a silent observer. Yet fate had other plans. She crossed paths with the Scions of Kuru, a dynasty shaping history itself. She hadn't intended to get involved, but now she was entangled in their world, for better or worse. Can she survive in this era, or will she find her way back? More importantly-who is she, really? And why her? After all, nothing in this world, or beyond it, is mere coincidence. • Book I ~ Stuck In Time Series •
When The Fire Chooses Herself
A Note from the Author This story is a heartfelt tribute born out of reverence, imagination, and deep love for the timeless epic, the Mahabharata. It is not intended to harm or disrespect any tradition, belief, or cultural sentiment. I hold every character of this sacred epic in the highest regard, especially Draupadi, whom I deeply admire and spiritually revere. What you are about to read is not a retelling, but a "What if"-a reimagination woven from a place of devotion and curiosity. A world where roles shift, choices change, and destinies take new forms, but the soul of the story remains centered in Dharma, honor, and love. This universe is an extension of my admiration for Draupadi, placing her not in the shadows of fate but at the center of it-where her voice is heard, her choices are honored, and her journey reclaims power. This is not history, nor scripture-but a work of fiction inspired by mythology, shaped by emotion, and offered in respect. Enter this world with an open heart and see not just the characters you know, but what they could have been, in another life, another time, another turn of destiny. With love and respect, MioneComplete

Awakened
Disclaimer : This story is a complete work of fiction and this in no way intends to hurt anyone's religious beliefs. I will try my best to justify the story. Time travelling is something which is a matter of discussion everywhere. Some say it's possible, some say it's not. But you know what, when god conspires to do something and to teach us something, he can go to any lengths for that. And when he wants to teach the purity of love, the essence of togetherness and the real meaning of soulmates, he will do that even at the time of war. Love is associated with pain, pleasure, seperation, then coming back together, fighting our demons together and what not. What happens when the definition of love is completely changed, when lover conquers all Time Demons Separation Sorrow Humiliation and every other pain you can count in this world. Let's embark on this journey of redefinition of lover where it's a union of souls and not body. Plagiarism is not appreciated. Strict action will be taken for the same.

Words-once spoken-can only be forgiven. Their irreversible weight has always made the oldest caution the young, lest they carry regret as their ancestors did. Alas! No one heeds this lesson until it is too late. And amidst the marbled halls of Indraprastha, where love, duty, and ambition entwine, a new precedent quietly unfolds: Where promises are fulfilled at the cost of pain: "I cannot promise a world without bloodshed, Abhijishya. But I can promise you this-wherever I go, I will first seek peace. I will extend a hand before I draw my sword. And if war must happen, I will fight so that it ends quickly and with as little loss as possible." Where vigilance and mercy intertwine: "Order without respect descends into tyranny, and tyranny breeds the very rebellions we are bound to prevent." Where will is more stubborn than destiny: "I refuse it. I refuse to stand by while they tear her apart. And for that, if I have to lie, deceive, betray any other, I will. I require no divine protection." Where power fans greed, and greed kindles fury: "Let me see who dares come for you." Where a woman grasps the weight of royalty, and finds her might radiates most fiercely in the most vulnerable moments. Dhruvi Maa - Rajneeti Matrika - Māyin Turn the pages of Vac and witness a woman's ascent and undoing, her battles fought behind doors, as she challenges destiny itself and reclaims what it means to be a warrior within the halls of the palace. --- Book II of Smriti Samprajanya Series.
