Taylor Swift Albums As Aru Shah Characters (or vice-versa) (???)

Debut: Hira. She's young, seemingly innocent, but she's definitely experienced more than her fair share of heartbreaks and sadness. While singing along to Tim McGraw, Our Song, or Picture To Burn, she draws on those first few moments when she met Brynne. The country style and easy patterns soothe her- she definitely loves Shania Twain, too.

Fearless TV: Kara. Needless to say, most everything she's done to get to this point has required her to be fearless. She is all forbidden destinies and regrets, crying and hoping and crying some more. She'd definitely scream along to Fearless, and You Belong With Me, and sometimes with the Sleeper she'd hum Fifteen and Love Story- just for the feeling of a normal childhood.

Speak Now TV: Rudy. He only picked this because he saw the fabulous purple album cover and thought of dark benevolent queen. He thinks of the first time he met Mini when he listens to Enchanted, because he's sure the whole world is in love with death's daughter. He recreates the intricate sounds of Better Than Revenge, Speak Now, and Sparks Fly with his stones, soon getting his own recording studio to record his instrumental covers of them. And of course, Mean empowers him to brush past all the idiots who made fun of him being colorblind and a failure- cause they're pathetic and alone in life and mean.

Red TV: Malini. Do I even need to explain? Throughout the separation and divorce with Aiden's dad, she definitely listened to All To Well (Ten Minute Version) on repeat, nostalgically played 22 for Aiden, and finally, when she got a girl's night out, played We Are Never Getting Back Together. The heartbreak and cheating in Red highlights all her relationship troubles and how she comes out of them stronger in the end.

1989: Brynne. It's her workout music all the way. And life music too. She does HIIT sessions to Shake It Off and New Romantics, and dances to Out Of The Woods with Hira when it's late and they can't sleep. The feeling of reinvention and starting anew really draws her to the album- and who can blame her? (Plus, she was totally jamming to Rudy's TSwift battle music in SoD)

Reputation: Aru. She struggles with her legacy, her reputation, throughout the series. The thrumming beats and quick mood shifts of ...Ready For It? stimulate her ever-speeding mind and she loves making fun of Aiden with Gorgeous, the entire song a huge excuse to outright flirt with him. Getaway Car is her and Rudy's go-to car song when they drive alone, and there are days when Aiden finds her crying to Dress and Delicate in the shower. During and after the final battle, Don't Blame Me and I Did Something Bad were the only things she could hear in her ears- they were deafening, and a way of her brain guilting and processing all the events.

Lover: Aiden. I immediately knew this was his. He's surrounded by love, constantly, despite being afraid of it, calling upon Death By A Thousand Cuts. With his mom he softly sings Soon You'll Get Better and with Brynne and Mini they karaoke It's Nice To Have A Friend. His dad gets a very blurry video of Aiden and Bee one year in Father's Day in pink cowboy boots singing I Forgot That You Existed and his father never texts back. Ever the feminist and bisexual icon, he's out here bopping to The Man and You Need To Calm Down. He makes fun of Aru liking I Think He Knows, but that's nothing compared to his 2 am serenades of Lover. His favorites, though, are Paper Rings and ME!

Folklore: Mini. The med student of Epiphany. The calm, the quiet, the casual anxious spirals. Yearning at desperate when she hears Invisible String, Rudy cries when she sings it. Her mom hates Exile, but Mini hears it and thinks of all the ways she could fail and cries to it some nights. Seven reminds her of running around in a field of sunflowers as a little kid, not a care in the world, forgetting allergies, grades, or Pandava stuff. August is her back to school calling, a reminder of responsibilities and how they're not always bad. Cardigan is her pick me up when she's missing Rudy- not that he's ever too far.

Evermore: Suyodhana. Willow. He can't love the way he wants to, he can't say yes without worrying about everything- he is Champagne Problems. Forbidden, murderous, No Body, No Crime was made for him.

Midnights: Krithika. The definition of Anti-Hero. A lot of the series wouldn't exist without her causing more and more problems, despite being well-intentioned, she keeps messing up, and finally in NoI she starts owning up. Her glittering confidence in the early books beckon to Bejeweled and her ever-sermonizing self would scream Karma at the top of her lungs. Question...? would remind her of everything she left in the lamp, Suyodhana, Aru's chance at a father- the love of her life.

ok but have you ever considered how many people Aru’s saved

let’s put the potatoes aside for now and appreciate our queen.

Yes, she’s saved so many people from death, but let’s talk about mental safety.

think about it. People called Mini a tattle tale. They outcasted an awesome girl. And aru? She saw Mini for who she was- The daughter of the God of Death. A badass woman. A queen.

and she became her friend.

mini was probably suffering through sadness of being an outcast. Maybe she could’ve even been bullied. And she got a friend.

in a way, Aru saved her.

now, Aiden. Boy’s got divorced parents. His mom gave up everything for him. He hates his dad and he could even have a step sister. Let’s not even mention Annette. On top of all that, everyone likes him, but not for him. Everyone likes his looks. His appearance. His only good friend was Brynne.

having only one friend is incredibly lonely.

then Aru waltzed in (haha)

she liked him (we know as in crush but he knew friend wise) and for his personality and not for his looks. Not to mention she saved him from the guilt he held about him mom. And about the divorce. Miss girl saved him from making a bad decision: parent trapping his parents.

so that’s another person she saved.

next- Brynne.

I feel like their friendship gets overshadowed, so let’s not overshadow it here.

Brynne doesn’t know any of her biological parents properly. She has an absent mother who’s the only person she wants to please, and said person acts like she doesn’t even exist. The only person she could actually confide in was Aiden. And no one else.

that was until she met the Potatoes. But again, we’ll focus on Aru.

I headcanon Brynne was slightly envious of Aru at the start. How could someone be so cunning? And smart? And she had so many friends!

But I don’t think anyone could deeply relate to each other as much as Aru and Brynne.

Brynne is an overachiever when it comes to cooking. Aru used to be an overachiever until someone said it wasn’t cool (kill those people). Brynne has a shell of a parent. Aru has a shell of a parent. Brynne has two adult figures as her guardian and they’ve been there for her her entire life. Aru has one (that’s awesome and is equivalent to two). Brynne doesn’t know her mom for what she was. Aru never knew her dad for what he actually was. Aru’s mom was kind of absent for a lot of her life. Brynne- well, you get the idea.

so. Aru saved Brynne too.

Now. Rudy.

Aru and Rudy are basically the most chaotic duo. Ever. Rudy had Aiden, and even Aiden didn’t want to hang out with him as much. Everyone made fun of him for being colorblind. Until he met the Potatoes, but yeah, we’re focusing on Aru’s part here.

Aru never shamed him for being colorblind. Aru always treated him like she would to everyone else. She always treated him well. Even if she was mean to him, we all know it’s the kind of mean that you treat your best friends with.

Aru and Rudy would cause so much chaos with each other. And she’s the only friend Rudy caused chaos with.

Aru saved Rudy as well.

let’s wrap this up with Kara.

Well, this one’s self explanatory. Kara is her long lost biological sister. Kara, who’s seen the outside world but has no memory of it. Kara, who’s been brainwashed by the only person she thought she could trust.

well, the only person until Aru.

Aru and Kara are so different. But as Roshani Chokshi expertly worded, Kara brought the sunshine to Aru’s lightning and thunder. Together, Aru and Kara brought spring. Maybe Kara has no memory of her sister who saved her from loneliness. But it never changes the fact Aru saved her.

Now, it’s Aru who needs saving.

All of these people look at the girl with a braid and a lightning bolt and think: “Thank you. You, who saved me. Now it’s our turn.”

#aru shah #tpq #the pandava quintet #i did something 🤡#the fact that this all came to me bc i drew something #a sketch of aru leading mini to the light or smth #and a caption saying: thanks for saving me my dear sister #lmao

Aru thought that her dad had abandoned her and her mom (at least if I’m remembering that correctly), and Krithika didn’t even tell her about the Otherworld

Do you think Krithika just woke up every morning thinking Huh, I wonder how I’m going to tell my daughter that her father got possessed by a demon destined to attempt to destroy the world someday and I that had to lock him up in a magic lamp?

Let's Rewind! Toast watches Voltron: Defender of The Universe (1984)

Season 1, Episode 27: The Green Medusa Season 1, Episode 28: Treasure of Planet Tyrus

Episode 27: The Green Medusa ALL RIGHT MY OTHER FAVORITE EPISODE OF DOTU

Ty Lotor for the lore, Planet Medusa was hit with a solar flare that put all of its people into a coma, his plan is to snatch one and let it loose on Arus ofc The sad part about this is that they picked a mother who lost her children, so she's having the worst time

I like the design for the Medusan, just wish it had more flair and no boobs,, is this woman not reptilian why does she have breasts

Ah there's the namesake, when angry the Medusan can grow pretty large, their hair transforms into snakes, and ya guessed it, their laser vision turns enemies to stone she looks a lot more monstrous in this form, a better look imo

Hey a scene from before is reused! We're back on Arus now and the scene of people crowding around lance pidge and hunk for their offer of food from the episode where Sven got got was reused for them calling for orphans since Allura is using part of the castle as an orphanage now A sweet gesture, wish there was more info about it

Back at the castle, an infant apparently chose Keith to be their foster dad oh, I am so making either an AU or a HC from this scene omg

PIDGE LORE he's an orphan! And adopted out of the system recently from what it looks like

His adoptive parents <3

aw no Pidge,, he still wishes to have his biological mother with him, that's always a hard wish to have, not that I can comment much on it as I'm not adopted

Attack time and the team is already in their lions wow, no launch animation sequence? Amazing

AND NO ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT THE MEDUSAN? THIS ISN'T THE USUAL EPISODE FORMAT also pidge ejects from green who ends up smashing into the castle flooring below, I thought you were a better pilot than this kid

The Medusan mother grabs him after he lands onto the floor but instead carefully picks him up and places him onto her palm, even her expression is soft! This is why I love this episode, pidge found a mom and yknow what good for him because he keeps getting badass women figures in his life

Allura is freaking out about it and Lance wants to shoot everything at her for grabbing pidge before keith tells him again that she's got pidge in her grasp PIDGE IS JUST ROUTINELY GETTING ADOPTED AT THIS POINT AND WE LOVE THAT HERE

Pidge wakes up in a cave with the Medusan and tries running off but for some reason turns back and then immediately gets brought back by one of her snakes who nuzzle him after picking him back up how cute! I think Pidge knows something is going on especially because she only took him elsewhere instead of killing him

"he's awful little to see from up here" -Hunk such a cute line

PIDGE YOU MADE HER CRY, at least he apologized Lotor finds the two of them and immediately tries to capture them, but she protects pidge from it, and he finally realizes she's protecting him

Pidge likes snakes, sucks for lance who is definitely afraid of snakes after Bokar

Lotor says that he created a monster with too good a heart Created?? mf you KIDNAPPED A MOTHER AFTER FORCFULLY AWAKING HER FROM HER COMA YOU DIDN'T CREATE SHIT

Coran and Nanny immediately think Pidge is dead after the team searches for him again and still doesn't find him which like that's a sane assumption, but I'm also biased against them so how fucking DARE they pretend to care now >:/

Sike, Pidge is alive and he made friends with his new mom, Anga HE'S JUST CHILLING ON HER HAND LIKE IT'S NOTHING, MAN IS LIVING THE LIFE And suddenly Hunk is real hopeful that Anga has a friend lol

Attack hours again, this time with a REAL robeast and Haggar tries to force Anga to attack pidge so he PULLS OUT HIS GUN TO SHOOT AT HAGGAR ICONIC

Anyway Anga is shrunk down to her normal size and Pidge gets back to making sure Haggar knows who the bitch is between the both of them, and it ain't the little boy with a blicky that's for sure

Pidge gets a piggyback ride from Anga but she's super hurt and collapses before they reach the castle so Pidge promises to come back for her after having a memory of his adoptive mother giving him a piggyback right too THIS KID CAN FIT SO MUCH BACKSTORY AND TRAUMA IN HIM OH MY GOD

Voltron formed, robeast defeated, another scene is reused where Lance is kissed by allura and pidge gets kisses from the mice when he asks instead not the best scene to use? i mean nobody did anything except for pidge but all he did was make friends with a woman who died trying to do the right thing for him

/episode end

Episode 28: Treasure of Planet Tyrus

Planet Tyrus is a vacation planet i see, i can't tell if it was taken over and made a vacation planet for the villains to relax at or if it was always like that

So as an amateur archivist for older voltron content, I can definitely see why there were so many people who loved lotor specifically, the douchebag attitude probably doesn't take away from his looks either huh

oh so definitely conquered and it's lotors birthday! I wonder when this aired so I can assign that to him

i'm sorry, Zarkon stole treasure from Arus the week before the events of the episode?? guys what the fuck are you letting happen on arus

the team infiltrates the ship that apparently carrying said treasure, and it's deserted! they find a golden statue of lotor though, so that's pretty wild what the fuck is chitter doing on the ship, did i skip something on accident again

I'm sorry, red lion is able to phase through fucking metal? Lance is straight up hiding in the lotor statue what does this fucking imply because-

lotor sends a squad to go grab the treasure from the ship and keith pretends to be a guard only for the lead of the squad to say "nah youre not treasure so fend for yourselves" absolutely ruthless

the quality of this dub is so low lmao, looks like the team didn't realize that it was keith under the mask when he fell with the key in front of lotor because it was hunks voice first before keith suddenly pipes up and reveals himself

lotor v lance sword fight rematch AND LANCE GETS CAUGHT BY A TRAP DOOR WHAT KEITH TRIED TO CATCH HIM BUT WATCHED HIM FALL very homosexual of them

how many times has allura slapped lotor now? 3 times? she's right to do it every time

oh shit keith lance and pidge are about to be burnt a la witch trials, obvs allura is forced to watch because why would lotor kill her but mouse to save the day because chitter is biting the rope away

LANCE SURVIVES AND HE BLOWS UP BOTH THE CAKE AND THE STATUE he's so great, what a way to stick it to lotor on his birthday

voltron v command ship, obvs they win and apparently are able to get the valuables back allura makes fun of lotor and says he aged 10 years instead of only the 1

/episode end

Updated Allura HCs :)

Age 18 at debut

5"6

The only pilot without formal combat training

was never taught how to pilot anything before the lion

Fascinated by other cultures

Fluent in over 6 languages

Extremely book smart, just not very street smart

When she was little she called Coran "Uncle Coran"

Coincidentally, her favorite colors are pink and blue

Has a scar on her shoulder from when the Drule invaded

Discovering Earthling makeup styles was the beginning of an era for her. On Arus, makeup is usually only worn for performances, so the idea that you could... put it on, for funsies?

Now owns like a million lipsticks and all of them are the same kind of basic pink shade, bc Nanny hates letting her have fun.

She managed to convince Nanny to let her have ONE black lipstick... just for Halloween, of course, she just wants to see what this funny Earth holiday is about!

"Where did you get the awful shade of lipstick?" was a cover. Allura realized she was staring too long at Merla's lips

Merla makes her heart do funny things

Keith also makes her heart do funny things

She was very young when the Drule invaded

Loves her mother, but they were never close. Mother wasn't the maternal type

SUPER close with her dad though

Allura's mom was actually the one of royal blood. Alfor was a noble, but she was the one with the real claim to the throne

Orla is Mom's younger sister

Mom had Allura fairly young, at 22

Orla, meanwhile, was 13 when Allura was born

When Orla first heard that Allura was still alive, she rushed to see for herself, only to raise speculation among the people of Arus that Orla may have ill intent, being the next in line for the crown if something happened to Allura... The part where Allura goes into a coma and everyone thought she'd died did not help her case

Allura was DELIGHTED to learn about Earth's "flower language"

Super neat handwriting

Collects funky pens

LOVES music boxes

Ear piercings aren't big on Arus. Pidge gave her a pair of clip on ones and she fell in love

Still doesn't wear earrings much, tho. Her hair gets tangled in them

Great with animals

Pansexual

Everyone can understand the mice, they just only like to talk to Allura

Doesn't mind getting her hands dirty. Literally. Has caught fish with her bare hands

Used to get in trouble as a kid for making a mess of her clothes this way

The pink dress she wears is not only considered very casual for a royal, but also exceptionally outdated. It's just what they had laying around, since getting new, flashy dresses made wasn't exactly an option before Arus was liberated. After that, she just didn't feel the need for a whole new wardrobe

Who dared introduce her to chocolate, do you know what you've done?

Was left unsupervised with scissors once. Her hair is now shoulder length. Looked BAD tho, lance had to fix it

August birthday

Knows how to play several instruments, including the harp

Allura is not the first to wear the pink pilot uniform

Had two older siblings. Key word: had (yes I stole this from GoLion)

Enamored by fun insects

but what if the sleeper lived?

what if kara never drove her trident through his heart? what if he got the chance to talk to krithika and aru?

amends were made, but not well enough. it was a quick patch up on the battlefield, just enough to convince the gods and other pandavas that it would be okay for him to stay in atlanta with aru and her mom instead of being banished, imprisoned, or killed.

it's hard. aru refuses to look at him for days. she pretends like he's not there, despite his best efforts to try and make his way into her life. it isn't easy for krithika either. she tries her hardest to see the man she saw before, but she also sees the man who tormented her daughter for years. suddenly, she's not so sure she can let him back into their lives.

one day, aru snaps. it's a typical afternoon, sunny with the slow rush of patrons downstairs. she comes into the apartment, aiden in tow, only to find what she thought was going to be an empty apartment instead had the sleeper at the kitchen table. she can't backtrack, but with aiden here she can't ignore him either. she gives the sleeper a nod. just a single nod.

then he starts to ask questions. he tries to talk to aiden. aiden obviously doesn't want to be in this situation. the sleeper is the reason he went heartless, was dragged through a war, and lost his life. he doesn't want to see the sleeper as aru's dad. he wants to see the sleeper as an enemy.

aru sees this discomfort, makes every move to keep them moving towards her room so they can ignore the sleeper and watch a movie or something. the sleeper tries some dad move of like "no boys in your room." and aru just looses it.

she screams. yells at him that he can't try and be some sort of parent because he was gone her entire life. he lead to the death of the boy she loves, the nightmares she and her sisters have almost every single night. he's the reason they were all child soldiers, even if his intentions were pure at the start.

and then she leaves.

Summary: Aru takes Ethan to a visit to her childhood home.

A/N: Set in Open Heart Book 2

Italicized sentences are translated at the end. It felt important for me that Aru & her family spoke in their mother tongue (marathi) at home.

Here's a few common nicknames/ names of endearment that have been used in this fic:

Didi- Older sister

Aai- Mom

Baba - Dad

Beta- Son/Daughter (can be used for both)

Sahil is Aru's brother, while Dilip & Nandita are her parents

Tagging: @fictober-event, @choicesmonthlychallenge, @choicesficwriterscreations, @jamespotterthefirst, @rookiemartin, @quixoticdreamer16

For her Diwali visit to her family, Arundhati thought of taking Ethan with her to finally meet her parents. She constantly kept changing her decision as she was afraid of her parents disapproving of her being in a relationship with anyone. So, she had never taken her ex home, no matter how serious they were about each other.

Ethan was already nervous about meeting them, but his nervousness increased when he saw how scared Aru was. He had already met her brother Sahil, the only one who knew about their relationship. As a result, he was the only person from her family that Ethan was comfortable around.

"Didi, come on, there is no need for you to worry about aai and baba. Once they find out how much Ethan loves you, they will not have any issues at all", Sahil said when Aru called him to discuss her dilemma.

"What if they don't accept Ethan and disown me after learning about us?" Aru questioned, with a quiver in her voice.

"Don't worry about all of that, didi. Nothing like that will ever happen. Just focus on coming here to meet us."

"How can you be so sure?"

"That's because I know they love their daughter more than anything in the world and trust her completely. If you tell them that Ethan is the one for you, they will fully trust your decision. So, please do visit us, okay?"

"Thanks for your support, bro. I'll discuss this with Ethan and hopefully change his mind about visiting you all."

Ethan was initially extremely tensed to meet Aru's parents, more so because of her nervousness. However, when he saw that she was relaxed, it made him feel better as well. He knew that he would face anything if she was by his side.

Eventually, Ethan and Aru headed to her childhood home to meet her family.

Aru didn't know how her parents would react to her having a boyfriend who was her boss at work. Therefore, she decided not to inform her parents about the relationship as soon as she met them.

Ethan marvelled at the decorations outside Aru's home and how bright they made the house look. He knew what Diwali was but had never gotten a chance to experience it first-hand.

Arundhati's parents were elated to see her after a long time. She couldn't get time to meet them during her first year due to her workload, and she got even busier due to being on the Diagnostic Team. It was only after the attack that she stopped taking her life and family for granted.

Her parents were surprised to see another person with her, to say the least.

They welcomed Aru and Ethan inside, and Sahil greeted them with a hug and a refreshing glass of water.

He was amazed to see how pretty her home looked, especially with the beautiful fairy lights and some flower garlands.

After some nudging from Sahil and confusing looks from her parents, Aru decided to introduce her parents to her boyfriend.

"Aai, baba, this is Dr. Ethan Ramsey, my partner and my supervisor," she said, throwing caution to the wind yet unsure of their reactions.

Her parents were more scared for their daughter than shocked. They knew that their children would date someone once they grew up. However, they did not expect their daughter to date someone significantly older than her. They were unsure if Aru pursued the relationship because he forced her to or if she did it herself to get a better job opportunity. Nonetheless, they made sure to mask their expression until they knew more about her relationship.

"Wait a second, so is this the same Dr. Ramsey whose books you used to read all the time?" Sahil pretended to be surprised in front of their parents.

"Yes, Sahil. He's the same doctor."

"Well, Dr. Ramsey, welcome to our house. I hope you have a good time with us today. And I hope you are taking good care of our daughter."

"Thanks for welcoming me, Mr. Kulkarni. I promise I will never harm your daughter in any way. If I break my promise, you can feel free to give me the harshest punishment possible."

"Well, we'll see about that later. Right now, you are my guest. So, I have to look after you till you are here."

"Well, enough chit-chat for now. Please have these snacks, children. I hope you aren't hungry," Aru's mom said.

"Thanks, Mrs Kulkarni. We had some breakfast on the plane. Thanks again for the snacks."

"Aai, the chaklis are so delicious. How do you always make them this good?"

"Beta, my mom taught me this recipe. I have been practising this recipe for years now."

"Please teach me how to make these!"

"Ho, pan tyacha sathi tula vel pahije na. Tu tar purna divas busy astes."

"Ho na. Amcha kaam tasach aahe na. When I have a free day, I will video call you. Chalel na?"

"Ho, mala chalel. But let me know in advance so I can arrange my chores accordingly."

"Yes, I'll let you know, aai."

"Beta, do you want to show Ethan around by the time I set lunch?"

"Are you sure you don't want any help?"

"Ho. Tu relax kar. I'll call Sahil to help me."

"Are you mad that I am dating Ethan?" Aru asked her mom privately when they entered the kitchen.

"I'm not worried, Aru. I'm happy for you. Ethan seems like a good person."

"I can clearly see that you are worried, aai."

"Aru, we can talk about it later. Go on, beta. Get Ethan away from your dad's threatening."

"Thanks a lot, aai."

Aru made her way to her father to ask for his permission to take Ethan away.

"Baba, is it okay if I show Ethan around?"

"Yes, my girl, go ahead."

"Ethan, come on, let's go," she said, relieved to get Ethan away for a while.

"Where should we start from, Aru?"

"Let me show you my room first."

Ethan wanted to check Aru's room to see how she was as a child. Also, he wanted some material to tease her with to get back at her.

"Well, this is my room," Aru said.

The first thing that Ethan saw after entering her room were some movie posters.

"I see you have been a huge fan of movies since childhood," Ethan expressed, observing her giant posters of different Hollywood and Bollywood movies.

"I know you, Ethan. You love this, don't you? You finally have something to annoy me with."

"It seems you know me very well, my darling."

"I mean, that's..." Aru couldn't speak anymore because of how much she was blushing. No matter how many times Ethan called her his darling, she couldn't stop blushing every time he did so.

"Honey, didn't you used to read classics while growing up?"

"Why yes, I did, and absolutely loved them!"

"What else did you read?"

"Well, I started reading medical books that my grandpa owned. As I got more interested in medicine, I wanted to read more recent books."

"Can I have a look at them?"

"Sure, go ahead."

"Aru, you have almost all the books I have written," Ethan said, as he was pleasantly surprised by the fact that Aru enjoyed his research.

"Yeah, I first got Diagnostic Principles and was in awe of your research. That's when I made it my mission to read all of your books I could get."

"So, you were my biggest fan, weren't you?"

'Well, a fan. Not the biggest fan."

"So, how did you not know what I looked like?"

"I wanted to focus only on your work."

"Why, Aru, was I that distracting?" Ethan asked jokingly.

"No, Ethan. As much as I love looking at you, that was not the case. I didn't want to look at your picture or look you up as I didn't want to have a bad impression of you."

While Aru was showing Ethan around, her parents sat with Sahil to discuss her relationship.

"Sahil, please tell me the truth here. Did you know about them?" his father asked.

On hearing that, Sahil hesitated a bit.

"Beta, we won't get mad at you or Aru if you tell us the truth."

"Yes, your dad is right. We want to know if Ethan genuinely wants to be with Aru or if he's taking advantage of her good nature," his mother told him calmly.

"Well, to tell you the truth, they have been together since the attack. I saw how Ethan was around didi. He stayed with her all night after they gave her the remedy. When didi woke up, the first person she saw was him," Sahil revealed.

"I talked to her about Ethan then and asked her all about him," he continued.

"Well, what did she say about Ethan?"

"Didi told me that he was gentle and caring. He looked after her when she most needed him."

"Well, that sounds good to me. If Aru trusts him, I don't have to worry about him. But is he still her supervisor now?"

"No, I had the same question. Didi told me that they have reported their relationship to HR. She now has a new supervisor."

"Well then, that's good. But that doesn't mean I trust Ethan. I'll be keeping an eye on him."

"Sure, baba. Do what makes you feel better", Sahil said sarcastically.

"Well, I'm glad she hasn't been forced to be with him. And that Aru finally has found someone worthy of her."

Meanwhile, Ethan and Aru finished their tour of her childhood home and came down to the living room where her family was chatting.

"Aru, done with the tour? Did Dr. Ramsey like our place?"

"Ho, aai. Ethan loved our garden the most."

"Good. Come on, have lunch now. You both must be hungry," Aru's dad mentioned.

"Dr. Ramsey, please forgive me. I had no idea you would be visiting us today. So, if you can't eat the food for any reason please let me know."

"Mrs. Kulkarni, don't worry about it. I'll happily have what you have made."

"Well then, please get started, doctor. Please call me Nandita."

"Only if you call me Ethan."

"So, Ethan, are you serious about our Aru?"

"Baba!" Aru said, surprised at her dad's forwardness.

"Aru, we are asking him this just for your benefit, my girl. So, Ethan, please forgive us if it feels too much. We want what is best for her."

"I completely understand, Mr. Kulkarni."

"Ethan, please, call me Dilip."

"Dilip, I understand what you are saying. I have been serious about Aru ever since I almost lost her," Ethan said while interlocking Aru's fingers with his. I assure you all that I'll never hurt Aru at all. Also, I promise you that I'm here for the long run."

Her parents saw the sweet gesture and felt reassured by his words. They felt as if all of their worries had disappeared.

"Well, Ethan, I'm glad that you care about Arundhati. She's our only daughter, and we don't want her to be with someone who doesn't respect her," said Nandita.

"Ethan, I hope you enjoy your stay here. We hope you can visit us regularly", Dilip said approvingly.

"Aru, I think we should introduce our families to each other, don't you think?" Ethan asked.

"That's a good idea. Alan and Naveen would love to meet you all."

"Aai, baba, Alan is Ethan's father while Dr. Naveen Banerji is Edenbrook's chief, Ethan's mentor, and friend," Aru explained to her parents.

"Yes, that sounds fun, didi. Aai, baba, I have met Dr. Banerji. He is sweet and welcoming. He made me feel as if he knew me for a long time."

"Well, Ethan, I think we can come to Boston for Thanksgiving to meet your family. What do you both think?" Dilip asked his family.

"If Ethan wants to be in Aru's life for the foreseeable future, I think it is important for us to meet them."

"That's true, aai," Aru expressed.

"That's settled then, didi. We will be visiting you! Hopefully, we will also have a chance to meet your roommates without any stress."

"Yes, they would love to meet you at leisure. Aai, baba, everyone would love to meet you both," Arundhati replied, hoping no one would notice her internal freakout. She hadn't told Sahil that she mostly lived with Ethan ever since she went on leave.

Ethan realised what she was thinking and gave her a comforting smile which made her feel warm inside. She relaxed a bit, knowing that all would be well if he was by her side.

By the time Ethan and Aru came back from their vacation, her parents had gotten rid of their inhibitions against him. They had accepted him as their son, much to Aru and Ethan's happiness.

Translations:

Ho, pan tyacha sathi tula vel pahije na. Tu tar purna divas busy astes- Yes, but you need time for that. You remain busy throughout the day.

2. Ho na. Amcha kaam tasach aahe na- Yeah, but that's how our work is.

3. Chalel na?- Will that be okay?

4. Ho, mala chalel- Yes, that's okay with me

5. Ho, tu relax kar- Yes, you should relax

6. Ho, aai- Yes, mom

No Control | Aiden Acharya

Aiden was now one hundred percent sure he had absolutely no control over his life.

First of all, he had to hang out with Rudy all the time. Which he wasn't mad about, per se, just annoyed. But, in all honesty, anyone would be annoyed if they had to hang out with their cousin all the time. And they'd be even more annoyed if that cousin had a crush on your best friend's sister.

Secondly, there was Aru. Aru also kind of tied in with the third thing that Aiden hated.

The prophecy.

It was probably the bane of his existence right now.

The prophecy stated, "Beware Aiden Acharya, the girl you love will be the death of you." Which was just wonderful because:

1) He was going to die. He couldn't even convince himself that the prophecy wasn't about him because it mentioned him by name. There wasn't any false meaning to it. He couldn't read in between the lines. It was simple. He was going to die.

2) It implied that he loved someone. Probably romantically. And there was only one person Aiden was avoiding for this reason.

Aru.

If Aiden was being completely honest with himself, he wasn't sure how he felt about Aru. It was just different from his other friends. There was something there that set her apart and made her shine.

But he couldn't be in love with her. Because he swore he was never going to fell in love. It didn't matter if she was Arjuna the Triumphant and he was Princess Draupadi. It didn't matter that his stomach turned every time their eyes met. He couldn't fall in love. If there was anything Aiden learned from his parents, it's that love always ended up in flames.

He remembered everything before the divorce. He remembered the arguments his parents had. He remembered the way his dad made him pick sides. He remembered leaving his house and going to Brynne's instead. He remembered taking long walks because he couldn't stay there any longer. He remembered worshiping those seven hours of school where he could be away from it all. He remembered how he'd turn up Taylor Swift to full volume to drown out the screams.

He still hated screams.

The fact that Aiden's mom had given up everything, literally everything, for his dad and it still wasn't enough? That was all the proof Aiden needed to know that love wasn't real.

So Aiden couldn't love Aru. It was as simple as that.

And if Aiden was being completely honest with himself (something he rarely did, it was easier to hide from your emotions), he was scared. He was so terrified that nausea was constantly rolling in his stomach and his heart had permanently pressed itself against his ribcage.

He was scared of his own emotions. He was scared to be alone with Aru because then everything just might spill out of him and he wouldn't be able to stop until everything was out in the open.

But his heart betrayed him. On her birthday, Aru had caught him alone. She had asked why he was avoiding her. What his problem was. She was angry. She asked if he hated her.

I could never hate you. Aiden had thought. That's the problem. Hate would be so much easier than love.

"Of course not." That was what he said instead.

Aru had gone into a whole rant about how Aiden was ignoring her. And it hurt. It hurt because Aiden knew it was all true, no matter how much he wanted to deny it. It hurt because he felt so guilty to see how much his fear had hurt her. Hurting Aru was the last thing he wanted to do.

And then, the worst yet best part, Aru had said she liked Aiden.

That was when Aiden betrayed himself. His heart was stronger than his head.

He kissed her.

But what about the prophecy? whispered a tiny voice in his mind.

Aiden didn’t care in that moment. But when he pulled away, he forgot about the prophecy. Because Aru's smile was so genuine and dorky and huge that Aiden fell in love with her all over again at that moment.

And then it all shattered.

But that was a different story.

But the thing was that he was caring now.

The point was, all of this is what had been going through Aiden's head the entire morning (and their wedding mission, of course). It had been going through his head since the second his mom woke him up and he brushed his teeth and rushed breakfast. It was the only thing on his mind when he got ready for the wedding his fellow Potatoes were going to crash and when his mom said she was coming with him. And he was agonizing over it right now, lying on his bed, about to walk across the street to Aru's house.

And then it finally hit him what he was supposed to do. He had to let go of Aru. He was going to have to backtrack, and say that kiss was a mistake. And doing that was going to kill him.

But it didn't really matter. He was going to die anyway because of the Girl He Loved.

He was going to die. Because of Aru.

Not because of Aru. Because he didn't love Aru.

Yes he did.

He just couldn't.

The Fresh Prince of Naga-loka

Now, this is a story of someone great

Of an epic, royal, cool half-snake

And I'll dive right in

You're gonna get soaked

I'll tell you how I became the prince of the land of Naga-loka

Aiden: Rudy, what are you doing? This is so cringe!

Aru: I know right? XD Brynne, whatever you do, don't stop the beat!

*Brynne the DJ gives a thumbs up*

In the Underwater Kingdom born and raised

The Coral Garden's where I spent most of my days

Livin in luxury, swimmin in mah pool

And making mah music with mah magic jewels

When a couple of nags who just had a bad week

Started calling me a colorblind freak

I got in one little fight and my dad took a stern tone

He said, "You're movin' with your Grandpa 'til you're ready for the throne"

I begged and pleaded with him to let me stay

But mom packed my bags and sent me on my way

She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my shades

Then dad said, "You're gonna make a fine ruler someday"

Aiden: Ok, I'll admit, that part was pretty sad.

Aru: Yeah, ngl, his childhood was pretty rough for a rich kid

Meeting Gramps, yo this is bad

Burns and scars all over like a nuclear blast

Is this what the people of Naga-loka living like?

This just gave me one thought, YIKES

But wait, I hear they're judgy, snobs, all that

Is this the type of place to just give me the welcome mat?

No idea

I'll just go for broke

I hope they're prepared for the prince of Naga-loka

Aiden: I had no idea he was this scared when he first-

Aru: Shh, Wifey I think this is where we come in!

One day, in the library, I heard someone shout

There was a chick dressed like Spidey fighting gramps with a pout

I knew I just got here, but gramps was a jerk

And was that the chick who kissed a pole when I winked with a smirk?!?

I threw a bhangra rock, didn't even think

Without a clue of the adventures I was gonna head in

I even got to move in with my emo cuzzy

And now I've got a queen out here making me feel fuzzy

Aiden: Is Mini wearing a crown made of black snakes?

Nikita: They custom-ordered it. Took me forever to find enough obsidian, but it was worth it.

Aru: Shh, big finish!

I pulled up to the war with an army of snakes

And I yelled to the Sleeper, "Yo holmes, smell ya late"

Now look at my kingdom

This ain't no joke

To sit on my throne as the prince of Naga-loka

Aiden: Now we just have to wait for him to go on stage and smack someone in the face.

Aru: Only if they insult Mini first
