the thing about amara sayed and shubman gill was, everyone knew. from the moment they were knee-high and tangled in a shared kite string, to their awkward teenage years navigating school dances and early morning cricket practices, it was as obvious as the sun rising in the east. they were two halves of an exceptionally charming, perpetually denying whole.
but if "just friends" meant sharing every secret, every dream, and every single triumph and failure for two decades, then maybe the world needed a new definition. maybe "just friends" meant a comfort so profound it felt like breathing. and maybe, just maybe, it was high time someone pushed them off that comfortable, denying ledge.

Halfway to Home
They promised to never forget each other. But life, fame, and oceans of silence have a cruel way of making people strangers. Arunika Goyal left Fazilka with a full scholarship to one of America's top medical schools. Focused, brilliant, and emotionally guarded, she rose to become a respected trauma surgeon - known more for her skill with a scalpel than for soft sentiments. Shubman Gill, meanwhile, stayed. And soared. From dusty school grounds to international stadiums, he became India's cricketing star. But behind the fame and spotlight, there was always one unanswered question, one person who disappeared without goodbye. Eight years later, fate - and a freak injury - bring them back into the same orbit in Mumbai. She's assigned to the BCCI's elite sports medicine team for a six-month research collaboration. He's the star patient - and the one ghost from her past she never wanted to face in scrubs and silence. Some wounds don't bleed, but they never quite heal either.Complete
Homecoming: A Shubman Gill Fanfiction
"I think I'll miss you forever, like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky." A lawyer. A cricketer. Two childhood best friends turned something else. Aarohi Sharma and Shubman Gill were never just best friends-they were soulmates in the purest sense. From childhood mischief to adulthood's unspoken promises, their bond was the kind that defied definitions. Life had pulled them apart, only to bring them back together, as if the universe itself knew that some connections are too sacred to be broken. Through the chaos of cricket stadiums, late-night conversations, and endless teasing, they found comfort in each other's presence. But fate had its own plans. A love story that was meant to last a lifetime-until destiny had other plans. A love story where forever was never promised, but love never needed a promise to be real.Complete

A Shubman Gill fanfiction There are some people you never really get over. Not because you still love them-sometimes you do, sometimes you don't. But because what happened between you and them carved something so deep, even time walks around it carefully. For Rhea Merchant, Shubman Gill was that person. They weren't just college sweethearts-they were gravity. He was the rising cricket star with charm, ambition, and the world at his feet. She was the fiercely intelligent psychology major who saw past his fame and into the boy beneath. Their love was built in libraries, whispered during bus rides to outstation matches, and sealed under moonlit rooftops in Delhi. The kind of love people wrote poetry about. Until it broke. Until a scandal exploded that nearly destroyed Shubman's career, and all the evidence pointed to the one person he trusted most: Rhea. She didn't defend herself. He didn't ask twice. Six years passed like strangers walking in opposite directions on a crowded street-close enough to remember, far enough to forget. Now, their paths collide again in South Africa, where Shubman is vice-captain of Team India and Rhea is flown in last-minute as a sports psychologist to manage rising anxiety cases within the squad. They meet in a hotel hallway. A glance. A pause. And then- She walks past like he's air. He doesn't even flinch. But beneath the surface, memories smolder. The silence between them is not absence-it's tension, bruised trust, and unsaid apologies wrapped in ego. As they're forced into shared spaces, media storms, and high-stakes matches, old wounds crack open. Rhea discovers the truth behind the betrayal she never cleared. And Shubman realizes the weight of the silence he never broke. They say time heals everything. But time never healed them. Because what they had wasn't just love. It was almost. Always.Complete

They arrive like sunlit mischief, warm, effortless, impossible to ignore. He walked in like laughter does, uninvited, contagious, leaving behind a brightness no one asked for but everyone needed. Ishan Kishan. A cricketer the country couldn't stop quoting, a boy-wonder turned man who wore stardom like a hoodie, casual, lived-in, never too precious. Jokes on his tongue, swagger in his stride, a soft heart hidden behind a don't care grin. The world saw the reels: the sixes, the smiles, the spark. Only a few noticed the silence after, the boy who broke records wondering what he had broken in himself to get there. She didn't enter rooms. She claimed them, with the kind of silence that doesn't ask, it decides. Mandakini Mishra. A writer who carved truth into sentences that bled clean. Savage not because she was cruel, but because she refused to be careful around lies. Rebellious to rules that tried to cage her voice. Cool on the surface, fire in the marrow, sass stitched with sense, softness locked behind an alarmed door. Two people who didn't need saving. One who laughed at expectations. The other who underlined them with a red pen. They didn't collide like thunder. They crossed paths like a dare, his chaos waving, her calm smirking back. Not to fix. Not to fuse. But to co-author. Because sometimes salvation isn't a sermon. It's a shrug shared at the right time. Sometimes the loudest truths arrive with a grin and a raised eyebrow. And sometimes, mischief becomes meaning, when the starboy finally stops running, and the writer finally stops waiting. This isn't a love story built on rescue. It's a love story built on recognition. Two storms, two silences, finding rhythm in each other's noise. And that rhythm? That was Inayat.

They begin quietly, like sunlight slipping through half drawn curtains. He was the boy with a bat who turned into a man with a nation on his shoulders. Shubman Gill. A name the crowd screamed, a face cameras loved. To the world, he was effortless charm, all smiles and sunshine. But behind the headlines and scoreboards, he was just a young man carrying the weight of expectations that sometimes felt heavier than his bat. Success had kissed his forehead once, but lately, the applause had turned into murmurs. And even sunshine can flicker when clouds linger too long. She was the kind of chaos that didn't apologize for existing. Sharanya De Luca. Half Indian, half Italian, wholly unapologetic. A girl who grew up with too much freedom and just enough rebellion. She had money, she had choices, but what she craved most was freedom from being told who she was supposed to be. So she chose to wander, to guide strangers through her beloved Italy, telling stories about ruins and rivers, while secretly searching for her own. He wasn't looking for healing. She wasn't looking for love. But destiny has its own sense of humor. And sometimes, when chaos meets a little less chaos, when sunshine collides with sunshine, the world doesn't burn. It glows. Because some souls don't ask for distance, they ask for closeness. For that needed nearness that feels less like a choice... and more like fate.![Is This Love?

Blueprints and Boundaries
A Shubman Gill fanfiction Cricket was more than a sport in India. It was religion, rhythm, routine. It echoed through living rooms, spilled out of tea stalls, and stopped traffic when a six soared over the boundary. Shubman Gill was its golden boy - calm under pressure, camera-loved, his bat writing headlines before he even spoke. To millions, he was a phenomenon. But fame, as he'd learned, could be loud and lonely. Every cheer came with expectation. Every silence, a judgment. In the game, he found glory. Off the field, he often lost himself. Saisha Arora lived on the opposite end of that spectrum. No cameras. No chaos. Just ancient forts, faded frescoes, and sandstone walls that held secrets older than the game itself. A heritage conservation architect, Saisha believed in preservation - of history, of silence, of self. Where others saw rubble, she saw resilience. She had no time for celebrity culture, viral headlines, or boys with stadiums screaming their name. So when she found herself dragged to a stadium - surrounded by painted faces and cricket hysteria - she didn't expect anything. Certainly not to meet him. But fate has its own timing. And sometimes, love arrives not with grand declarations, but with stolen glances and unexpected collisions. This is the story of two people from opposite worlds - Of match days and monument walks, Of headlines and heritage, Of a chase that had nothing to do with runs - and everything to do with finding someone who made you stop. Because not all love stories begin in the spotlight. Some begin in the silence between the cheers.Complete
