A Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan & Abhishek Sharma Fanfiction. Six people, two friend groups, one luxury duplex in Mumbai, and a mistake that none of them can undo. Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan, and Abhishek Sharma move in expecting a quiet, structured space after a long season, only to find that the house has already been rented out to Tanishka Singh Chauhan, Advika Dutta, and Kashish Arora. Two different brokers, two full payments, and one property that legally belongs to both parties leave them with no immediate solution and no choice but to coexist until things are sorted. What begins as a forced compromise quickly turns into a test of space, patience, and boundaries. Shubman, who thrives on order and control, finds himself constantly clashing with Tanishka, who is just as particular and unwilling to adjust. Ishan's chaotic, easygoing nature collides effortlessly with Advika's bold and unpredictable personality, turning everyday moments into banter that neither of them takes seriously until it starts to mean something. Meanwhile, Abhishek and Kashish settle into a quieter rhythm, building an understanding that doesn't rely on noise or confrontation but grows in the spaces in between. Living together was never part of the plan, and yet routines begin to form despite their resistance. Shared spaces lead to shared conversations, small irritations turn into familiarity, and the line between obligation and comfort begins to blur. What was meant to be temporary slowly becomes something harder to walk away from. When a solution finally presents itself and the option to leave is back on the table, none of them are where they started. Because somewhere along the way, the house stopped being just a mistake-and started feeling like something worth staying for.

[MLM] Moving to another state to start anew was Ryan's best bet in leaving behind memories of a messy situation. But when Cash Durand tumbles into the backseat of his taxi, suddenly, Ryan's got another messy situation on his hands―this one might be worth sticking around for, though. Maybe even worth both of them acknowledging their individual pasts clinging to their present selves. ****** At the fresh age of twenty-five, Ryan decides to move out of his small (and homely) two-bedroom flat, opting for a new start, away from messy memories and messy situations. What he'll soon find is a messier situation; starting with the one-room flat in a rural Indiana town he can't remember the name of, where his wake-up calls are the shouts from the town common across the road, because of course, the one place he found was smack in the middle of the busiest street. A cabbie as a job seems like a step up from his bartending days back in Illinois, and, well, it's not great compared to his exercise science bachelor's degree gathering dust, but he's still proving to the world that he's found something all on his own. Then, a day after he got the job, Ryan comes face to face with a twenty-something beaten up by life, who has a fire burning constantly in the palms he curls into fists, dark shadows under his eyes, and who acts like Ryan should know him―like there is more to them than this moment, than who they are right now. Maybe to him; but to Ryan, he's just the cabbie driving the annoying guy to the ice rink or random bars. That's all there should be to them. Until the cycle of familiarity becomes the string joining them together, and the past tangles with the present--even states away. No one can steer clear of messy situations forever.
