Two weeks before the war, Krishna confronts Karna with the truth of his birth and offers him an impossible choice that compels him to fight on his brothers' side. On his dearest friend's opponent side.

Karna and Duryodhan are devastated while the Pandavas, particularly Arjun, seethe at Madhav's incomprehensible move which disregards their competence.

In the war camp, two boys in their teens strike up an innocent friendship defying their fathers' hatred for each other.

Entering the battle, both sides are a mess. Lord Krishna, however, always works for the greater good.

There are two primary choices in life : to accept conditions as they exist or accept responsibility for changing them - Devakinandana Vāsudeva Krishna. "You know what is right and what is wrong, husband," She said softly, looking into his dark eyes filled with emotional turmoil, "But be assured that you would have take responsibility for your actions." Radheya glanced at the child, Arjuna's son, sprawled on the ground bleeding from various places. His beloved wife's words, spoken when he broke down in front of her after he found out his birth truth, played ceaselessly in his mind. Her voice had been firm and unyielding that day. She had given him the strength he had needed to make the decision to stay with Duryodhana till the end. But...this? He gulped, wondering if he could watch his nephew's death, so near to his eyes. Should he interfere? But hasn't this boy killed his beloved Laxmana? 'What actions you take, remember you would be liable for it,' Radheya thought, a frustrated sigh escaping his lips. Closing his eyes, he made a decision. He just hoped his darling wife would support him in this, otherwise, he had no idea how he would deal with the mess he was about to create. ?️#6 in Kunti ?️#5 in Bhishma
THE TALE OF TRINITY ~ DWARPAR YUGA by itzzzmoms_girl07
42 parts Ongoing
In an age when kingdoms rose and burned under the weight of ambition, three men bound not by blood, but by loyalty. Duryodhana, the prince who refused to be a puppet of tradition, reshaped his empire with iron will and a heart that hid quiet storms. Karna, the outcast-king forged in fire, walked the line between honour and rebellion - a hero born of silence and wrath. Ashwatthama, the immortal's son, carried both his father's curse and his own fierce love, standing torn between dharma and devotion. Together, they challenged gods and kings, rewriting the fate that others wrote for them. But when love, pride, and power entangled their paths, even friendship, their greatest strength was tested. "THE TALE OF TRINITY" is a sweeping reimagination of the Mahabharata, not of war, but of brotherhood. Of men who dared to love fiercely, fight righteously, and rule differently.
A Change of Fate by Raijin1996
24 parts Ongoing
In a twist of fate, the destinies of Karna, Arjuna, and Suyodhan intertwine on the 17th day after the death of Karna, as their memories are transported to their minds when they are at the pivotal stages of their lives. Karna, the anti-hero with an unwavering sense of loyalty; Arjuna, the skilled archer and arguably the hero of the epic filled with wrath due to suffering inflicted on them by his relatives; and Suyodhan, the antagonist whose choices led to the death of all whom he held dear, find themselves reliving their lives from a pivotal point. One of them swore off the war to protect his brothers, another swore to destroy any seeds of war and the third was left confused when there was no target to point his bow at. This is a bit controversial fic. But please give this a try.

38 parts Ongoing
--- In the sacred lands of Bharatvarsha, where dharma and adharma weave the fates of mortals and gods alike, a divine saga unfolds-the tale of Parashuram and Dharini Putra Karna. Born as the ansh (essence) of Lord Mahadev through the unyielding penance of Bhagwan Parashuram and Mata Dharini, Karna's life is destined to be extraordinary. Blessed with celestial powers yet raised amidst humble beginnings, he rises to become a beacon of courage, sacrifice, and unwavering loyalty. From his miraculous birth under divine blessings to his relentless pursuit of dharma, Karna's journey is a tapestry of triumphs and trials. As the son of Parashuram, he masters not only the art of war but also the wisdom of the scriptures, earning the favor of gods and mortals alike. Yet, even as he fulfills his divine purpose, Karna's heart remains entangled in the complexities of love and longing. Amidst the grand schemes of fate, two remarkable women shape his destiny, each stirring emotions he never thought possible. Their love challenges him, their loyalty inspires him, and their presence becomes a source of both solace and turmoil. Karna must navigate the fragile balance between destiny and human emotion. *Parashuram Putra Karna* is not just the tale of an unparalleled warrior but also a profound exploration of love, sacrifice, and the eternal struggle to uphold dharma in a world fraught with challenges. This is the story of a man born to greatness, whose life, love, and legacy echo through the ages. ---
