**Title: Through the Shadows**
**Description:**
Pranali, a bright and optimistic student, never expected her first semester at university to be anything less than exciting. That is, until she meets Abhimanyu-an aloof, brooding figure with a past shrouded in mystery. Despite his cold exterior, Pranali finds herself drawn to him, sensing that there is more beneath his guarded silence than he's willing to show. With the help of Neil, Abhimanyu's best friend, Pranali begins to uncover the fragments of Abhimanyu's troubled past, but breaking through the walls he's built around himself is no easy task. In a world where darkness lurks just beneath the surface, Pranali must decide if she's ready to face the shadows in order to bring the light back into Abhimanyu's heart.

SHADOW'S OF US
In the heart of a small, restless town where power whispers louder than love, two souls collide - not by fate, but by mistake. Aarohi, a strong-willed college student with a quiet fire in her eyes, believes love can still mend what the world has broken. Raghav, a young politician shaped by discipline and shadows, was never meant to believe in love at all. He was raised to command, not to feel - trained by a father who taught him strength through silence, loyalty through pain, and survival through control. When their worlds meet in the narrow streets of Suryapur's bustling market, a single glance changes everything. It isn't gentle, nor kind - it's dangerous, magnetic, and wrong in every possible way. Their story unfolds between power and vulnerability, politics and passion, silence and surrender. Raghav's love is quiet, unspoken - seen only in the way he watches, protects, and punishes himself for feeling at all. Aarohi becomes the only thing that unsettles his rigid order - the one risk he cannot reason away. But love in their world isn't simple. It's forbidden - tainted by family, ambition, and the choices that define them. As Raghav's control begins to crack and Aarohi's world starts to fall apart, they'll have to decide what matters more: duty, pride, or the dangerous pull between them. "Shadows of Us" is a dark, emotional tale of forbidden love - of two people bound by power, guilt, and the quiet ache of wanting what they can never fully have. A story where love is not soft - it's survival.
"Burn Me With Your Hate, Love Me With Your Touch"
They were the storm they warned others about. Akshara Goenka and Abhimanyu Birla - two names that never belonged in the same sentence without a *fight*, a *glaring match*, or a *cold silence that could freeze a volcano*. Once childhood competitors, now full-grown adults with sharper words, deeper wounds, and undeniable chemistry. 🖤 He's the brooding, arrogant, impossible-to-ignore neurosurgeon with a past he hides behind precision. 🖤 She's the fiercely independent music therapist who speaks in sarcasm and walks like she owns every room she enters. They hate each other. They argue in full-volume Hindi-English mashups. They steal glances when no one's watching. They end up working *together* on a hospital collaboration neither of them can escape. And when old secrets, stolen glances, and locked rooms start mixing into the chaos - **hate turns into hunger**. And what starts with *"Tum jaisi ladkiyon se mujhe nafrat hai"* might just end with *"Main sirf tumse mohabbat karta hoon, aur kissi se nahi."* This isn't just enemies to lovers. This is WAR TO WIFEY. And trust me, someone's going to fall - hard. Maybe both. 😉 💣 Slow burn 💣 Verbal sparring that feels like foreplay 💣 One bed. One kiss. One unforgettable night. 💣 Dramatic families. Flashback trauma. Emotional punches. 💣 And of course... that one moment where *"I hate you" becomes "Stay."* --- 🌶️ **Enemies. Rivals. Lovers. Soulmates.** They were never meant to love each other. And yet - they always did. --
venom in his eyes
Y/N never expected her 17th birthday to end with twin moons in the sky and blood on her hands. One moment, she was a chaotic, curious student with a taste for fantasy. The next, she was falling-through mirrors, through time, through a world not her own. Now trapped in a kingdom of masked nobles, ancient magic, and ruthless politics, Y/N quickly finds herself entangled in court life... and even more dangerously, in the rivalry between a golden hero and a cold, merciless villain. The hero becomes her protector. The villain becomes her shadow. He watches her from mirrors. Meets her under moonlight. And leaves whispers on her skin like venom.

Underneath her teasing and sass lies someone craving real connection, even when her playful mouth says otherwise.
