#aru shah fic

[currentlyinflames]

I just had possibly greatest/strangest fic idea

so character A is a math nerd and character B is in their math class and they like each other, the usual. Character A decides to show their love by literal equations to solve to confess. So every day they give character B a literal equation to solve and in the end they spell out "i like you"

[Bonus: The teacher helps with the equations and silently cheers them on]

[sleep-can-wait]

Can't believe I'm doing this but.... what is Aiden's dad's name?

John

Andy

Tiffany (To be quirky)

Rohith (the most innapropriate one tbh)

So yeah send help pls give me name ideas for this thing

✧ warnings mentions of alcohol

✧ link to main masterlist

✧ A/N i was bored. i was listening to conan gray. i wrote this fic. *dramatic flourish* (also, sorry for the shitty banner :D)

✧✧✧

kinda hope you’re followin’ me out

but this is definitely not my crowd

---------------------------------------

This party’s shit, Aiden thought to himself. It was cheaper than the usual parties Poppy held at her place. The lighting was straight-up bad, the drinks tasted horrible, and, the worst part, the songs playing in the background were trash. What type of party was this, anyway? He wished he could be anywhere but here, but Poppy was keeping a careful eye on him, and it was pretty much impossible to escape. He would take his mind off 

Aru sauntered up to him, adjusting the hem of her just-above-knee-length dress. Aiden mentally noted how good the color red looked on her. “Hey,” she said in greeting, and then she did something wildly concerning—she giggled. Arundhati Shah was never one to giggle. Sure, she laughed, chuckled, guffawed, even. But giggling? Psht, that wasn’t a part of her dictionary.

—Which was why Aiden gave her a strange look. “Hey,” he said slowly. “Shah, are you high? I swear to god, please don’t drink more beer.”

She pouted. Yep, she was definitely high. “Why?”

“Because you’re drunk, that’s why. And Krithika’s gonna be pissed if I bring you home like this.”

Aru didn’t respond, and suddenly, she grabbed his hand and pulled him through the crowd. Halfway through she stumbled over her foot and Aiden lunged to catch her, but she caught her footing again and left him blushing like an idiot.

Finally she stopped at a dark corner of the house. Faintly, Aiden felt a draft of cold wind and he shivered. Wearing a flannel and jeans was not the best idea.

He heard two soft thuds and then the draft grew stronger. Aiden hissed through his teeth, firmly spinning Aru around until she was facing him. Vaguely, he realized he was basically pinning her against the wall, and immediately took two steps back. “Shah,” he gritted out. “What are you doing?”

“I’m crawling out the window,” she replied, slurring her words, like that was perfectly normal.

“What do you mean, ‘you’re crawling out the window’?”

“I don’t wanna be around so many people right now.”

“But—but the others—”

“—Can find a ride. Mini’s smart enough to do that.” She sighed, leaning against the wall for support. “I dunno about you, Ammamma, but I’m goin’ out the window to the car. Hope you follow me out. And bring my heels if you do.”

Aiden wasn’t about to let her leave without him. Obviously, she needed someone sober with her. That was the only reason why he agreed, he told himself over and over in his head, but his heart was an entirely different story. 

“Can I just ask why the window?”

“Because, dumbass, using the door is boring.”

Aiden shook his head, but he smiled to himself all the same. This version of Aru—drunk Aru—was different, but he kind of liked it. He waited until she was out the window before climbing out himself, her heels in his hands. He let himself drop out onto the dead grass on the lawn, and then followed Aru to the black car. The Rover was a gift from his mother on his eighteenth birthday, and it had taken up quite a bit of her savings for his college tuition. But no matter how much he protested, she refused to sell the car.

Aru wobbled with every step she took, like she was about to fall down any second. Aiden let her lean on him as they walked, his arm around her waist to steady her. Her head lolled against his shoulder as she babbled nonsense, but he paid her no mind as he helped her into the passenger seat.

“You had a lot to drink, huh?” He asked her, biting back a grin.

“No! What makes you think…think that?” Aru blinked sluggishly and beamed at him and—oh God, he could’ve kissed her then and there. His knees went weak.

Aiden shook his head to clear his mind and got into the driver’s seat. Mere seconds after he settled in, he heard Aru breathe in and whisper:

“Aiden….”

He glanced at her. “Yeah?” Her head was leaned back against the seat, her lips slightly parted.

“Aiden…I think I might be in love with you.”

She turned over on her side, still holding the cup she had recently downed. Fuck, she was stunning in that red dress, he thought for the thousandth time tonight. Suddenly he was aware of the ripped jeans he’d mistakenly chosen to wear.

Aiden shook his head. “You don’t know what you’re saying, Shah. I’m driving you home.” He reached for the wheel but Aru grabbed his hand.

“I’m serious. You know, I think…I think you look pretty cute when you’re serious.” She ran a finger down his face, clearly in a daze. “There’s a—a small furrow between your eyebrows and—and your eyes are all dreamy. Actually, they’re always dreamy.” She laughed slightly, twirling a piece of his hair between her fingers.

Aiden tried to open his mouth to say something. Hell, he should've shoved her away. Because Aru was his best friend, nothing more. Even if he wanted them to be more. She’d never see him like that. This was probably some stupid dare from Brynne or something. There was no way in hell that Aru was going to wake up tomorrow and still tell him she loved him. No way in hell.

Aru had leaned near. Her lips were agonizingly close to his. He could smell the alcohol on her breath, her flowery perfume. He could kiss her now, if he wanted to. And Gods, he wanted to. So badly. Even he bent closer, gently caressing her check. Aru closed her eyes.

So it came as a shock to both of them when he pushed her back, forcing her down onto her seat and putting her seatbelt on. Aru hmphed in protest, muttering nonsense under her breath. At one point, he swore he heard, “Kiss me in the seat of your Rover, Acharya. Don’t be a pussy.”

He laughed to himself nervously, knowing it was the beer getting to her head, and replied, “That’s real sweet, Shah.” But she was already asleep. Aiden sighed deeply. 

The truth was, he was far from afraid. Not even close. But taking advantage of her like that…that wasn’t right. That wasn’t fair to either of them.

He looked back onto the road, the familiar streets of Atlanta, and willed himself not to look her away. Because one more glance at her, and he wouldn’t be able to stop himself.

but I wish you were sober...

excerpt from the aru shah au I'm writing (in which aru never lit the lamp and the fate of the world changed accordingly)

[maitaiwiththecorpses]

Bout to break my no crying over boys rule

[namesarehard123]

Fic idea: where Kara investigate the holes in her memories and get caught into an adventure she rather not deal withZ

or Kara reintroduction to the Otherworld

although do you think it best for Kara to never regain her memory?

Ooh, that’s a really interesting fic idea, and I’d love to eventually write it one day (with your permission of course).

It’s giving me a lot of “Restart” vibes, especially since, when she will eventually recounted the Otherworld, most of the “facts” about her “previous self” will be told from an other perspective. It’d be very interesting to see how she’ll navigate the Otherworld now, as she has probably inherited a different personality (due to newer experiences), so it’s as if we’re writing an entirely new character. And the character dynamics would be so fun to plan out, especially since everyone else knows her but she doesn’t. She’s just an incredibly fun character to play around with, and you can really dive deep into morals with her.

All that aside, I personally feel like it would be best if she never was reintroduced. You may be saying, “But, Pari, what about her identity?”. I’m assuming they transplanted fake memories in her mind, so she does have an identity, and I would argue this world gives her more freedom to be her. Her memory wash gave her another chance at just being, and, maybe I’m projecting just a tad bit, I feel like she deserves to just be. She doesn’t have to be reminded of what could have been; she’s freed from the pain the bounded her.

Hi! If you have any Pandava Quintet oneshot requests you want me to write, please send them in my askbox!

I know there's no valid excuse for delaying my full-length fics, but I've been feeling burnt out lately, and I need something to get back into writing.

I can write for either Aruden, Mindy, or Hirynne, or sister-centric or cousin-centric oneshots, including fluff, angst, etc. but I don't write smut / lemon.

I'll upload the oneshots to my AO3 + Wattpad at the earliest, and, even if you have headcanon requests, I'll respond to them!

Thank you!

[maitaiwiththecorpses]

This is such a great idea and- Are we one-shotting? Holy shit I guess we are.

The Proposal

Aiden POV:

Couch.

He was on the couch. So was she.

Don't overthink this, Aiden. And above all, do not fuck this up.

Aru was pressed into his side, her frizzy hair brushing against the cushions of their ugly, second-hand couch, her hand entwined with his, and all Aiden was trying to do was not get sweaty.

He fiddled with the ring in his pocket, envisioning the design like it was tattooed on the inside of his eyelids. A simple silver band with a flower diamond, and on the inside was a lightning bold, etched into the band, that would touch her fingers.

If he ever got the point where he gave the ring, that is.

Aru leaned back on him, pecking him on the cheek. "Did you get that popcorn from Costco? I was thinking of heating it up."

He choked on his words, his voice sounding raspy to his own ears as he replied, "Huh?- Oh, yeah! Mhm. Definitely do that," as he squeezed her hand. The one that would have the ring. THE RING. OH, GODS THE RING-

"Ok, Wifey," Aru got up from the couch, and in a fit of impulsiveness that Aru was more prone to, he spoke.

About the ring, of course. What else?

"So, about that-"

"About what?" Aru stopped in the doorway, tilting her head. He knew she was perceptive, and she already had her Therapist Face on.

"About- being your Wifey." He got off the couch, and onto one knee, pulling the ring- that stupid ring that was now probably slicked with hand sweat- out and displaying it for her to see. "I was wondering, if you would do me the honor of calling me Wifey every day for the rest of our lives?" He smiled nervously and watched her face melt into a giant smile.

She walked over to him and pulled him of his knees, hints of electricity radiating off her fingers from what seemed to be excitement. She kissed him, softly, as she had a million times before, and Aiden was struck with a wonder as to how was he so nervous? This is Aru we're talking about. Aru who blurted crazy things, and accomplished incredible feats, and Aru who worked so hard and received so little, and it's-

Shah. His Shah.

"Yes." He looked at her, grinning ear to ear, and mirrored her perfectly. "Every day- I want this-" She held his head in her hands, "-every day."

Couch.

They got engaged next to their couch, with Legally Blonde playing in the background, and empty stomachs craving for Costco bulk popcorn.

They got engaged in the house they rented together, with furniture they bought second hand, worn with tears and laughter and them together.

Thank goodness for them being together.

I love thinking about Aiden proposing to Aru because they could just be having a conversation and Aru could be like "okay Wifey" and Aiden would say "so about that-"

no the fact that we forgot this is actually so bad because we are SLEEPING on the immense crack potential

just imagine:

- aru and rudy playing endless pranks on everyone in sight, maybe aru becoming an honorary nag(ini) (NO BECAUSE IMAGINE SHE DRESSES UP AS A NAGINI WITH FAKE TAIL AND ALL TO CAUSE HAVOC IN NAGALOKA AND THE NIGHT BAZAAR - IMAGINE ULOOPI SEES IT ALL UNFOLD)

- aru’s regular trips to the aquarium where she makes friends (and enemies) with all the fishies and people think she’s crazy when she presses her nose to the glass and mutters under her breath

- aru making a bet with some idiot mortal boys at school whose egos are too big for their own good that she can 1) hold her breath longer than them and 2) swim faster than them and after lots of trashtalk from them, absolutely annihilating them

- parody where her water powers are useful only in the dumbest situations like. she can only talk to a specific subspecies of goldfish whose vocabulary seems to be limited to “hail our dear lord neptune” and “lettuce”. she can breathe underwater only if her entire body is wet, except for her right pinky finger which must remain dry. SO MUCH MORE

i am telling you and selling you the p o t e n t i a l

NO BECAUSE WHY HAVE WE FORGOTTEN THE FACT THAT ARU CAN BREATHE UNDERWATER AND TALK TO SEA ANIMALS
