Talents: He is a good singer, and loves to write poems in the meantime!

Shortcomings: Suffers from anxiety attacks, mainly from his past experience while working as a medic as well as a commando.

PERSONALITY:

Myers-Briggs Type: ENFP (The Campaigner)

Enthusiastic, and determinant: Apart from others who have a serious perspective on reality, Aditya more likely has a hopeful approach to it. He believes that life is all about challenges and the best you can do is to keep moving forward, without anything preventing you from achieving your goals respectively. This makes him the opposite of Arjun, who has no hope and looks at reality from a darker perspective.

Is able to study others well: Aditya has one trait, to study what the other person's feeling. His mother, who was a doctor taught him about body languages and how the person reacts or behaves when they're uncomfortable. Aditya is able to notice internal or external discomforts among fellow commandos which makes him empathetic towards others.

Has a jolly nature, is pretty chaotic: Aditya is a fun guy to hang out with! Especially when he has Yuvraj by his side, oh boy. You're going to have a fun ride with this one. If you ever see him being kind of chaotic, it's just Aditya being himself, don't worry!

Looks like a cinnamon roll, but could kill you: Aditya sure looks very sweet at first, but if anything happens to his friends, his enemies are going to have a hard time ahead. He's as dangerous as Arjun if provoked. One time, Yuvraj was badly injured under the hands of the enemies, which scarred him deeply and it grew a rage inside of him, killing every single existing militant that almost killed his friend. This behavior even scared Arjun! But thank goodness, Yuvraj was back in one piece, and the job was done.

BACKGROUND STORY

Aditya Tripathi was born into a Gujarati family, his mother being a doctor and his father a wealthy businessman in trade. He decided to follow his passion in the field of healthcare, just like his mother, wanting to treat and heal people in their hardest times. He used to observe how his mother treated patients and kept note of every single procedure in case someone else faced the same issue. Things were going well so far, as Aditya also surpassed every single challenge, which further led him to pursue one of the top medical colleges to complete his doctor’s degree.

But due to an unfortunate event, Aditya had to drop his medical studies as he wasn't able to pass his exams with full intent. With that, he felt his dreams of becoming a doctor were completely shattered. Worse, his father was not happy with how Aditya failed his exams and insisted that he should rather help him in his business. This strained his relationship with his father, leading him to stress, depression, hopelessness, and the urge to call himself a failure at times, something his mother noticed. She tried to assure Aditya that things would be okay and that something better might be awaiting him.

Aditya went on a trip to Himachal Pradesh with his friends, who wanted to cheer him up. They had stopped near a restaurant for a break, but internally, he was already planning to give up his dreams to support his family in case he couldn't accomplish his own. But just then..

An accident occurred outside the restaurant, making Aditya and his friends rush outside to see what had happened, two soldiers were making their way to the cantonment area, but their bike had slipped, causing them to sustain injuries. Aditya quickly rushed to one of the soldiers who had a wound and immediately pulled out the medical supplies he had brought with him in case of an emergency. Within a few minutes, Aditya was able to help them recover quickly, as the soldiers were incredibly pleased by his actions. One of them looked at him and said;

"You're a quick one, young man. You could be a combat medic here and save many lives like this."

These very words from the soldier's mouth were enough not just to encourage Aditya but to help him find a new purpose. Failing his exams didn’t mean it was all over; he could still keep trying and evolve into something even better. He never forgot that day, and later on, it even sparked the urge to join the Indian Armed Forces. He could still make his parents proud by doing something extraordinary, and this realization filled him with absolute encouragement and determination.

Aditya didn’t tell his parents he was joining the army. Instead, he lied, saying he wouldn’t return home until he had achieved something greater. He enlisted in the Army Medical Corps, hoping to find a new purpose after his failure in medical school. But later on, his real dream was to become a Combat Medic in the PARA SF. Despite the silence and distance from his family, Aditya was determined to rise above his past and prove himself.

Before becoming a commando, Aditya had to endure the selection process of the special forces — the probation period where most candidates fail. It's all about the mental and physical pressure placed on you as you pass through every single test, but Aditya was able to keep going. He also saw many candidates desperately holding on, not wanting to give up, and Aditya encouraged them, which gave them a slight boost. The one thing about Aditya was that, even in the toughest times, he was able to keep a smile on his face.

The time came when Aditya had finally passed the selection process and completed his training at the Commando School. There, he also met Yuvraj Chaudhary, another aspiring soldier who, like him, dreamed of becoming a commando. Together, they graduated, earning their maroon berets and performing the glass-eating ritual to conclude the celebration. After completing the medical course and successfully passing it, Aditya felt like a new person. The one who had once dreamt of becoming a doctor was now a commando, proudly holding the responsibility of being a Combat Medic.

The moment he came back home, his mother opened the door and saw that her son sure wasn't wearing a doctor's coat, but a camo uniform. That didn’t disappoint anyone, it made them cry tears of happiness, that their son was now a soldier for the frontlines.

"Told you, Maa. Your son would come back only when he becomes something. And here I am.”

Even his father shed a tear, quickly wiping it away, proud to see his son finally accomplish what he had set out to do. Feeling regretful for his past disappointment, Aditya comforted him, saying he was glad that if it weren't for his anger, he wouldn't have come this far.

As they share a heartfelt hug, this is where Aditya's journey begins.. when he becomes a part of the Shatrujeet Unit.

PERSONALITY:

Sparrow is a woman who at first glance can be intimidating when she is alone. But under that shell you find a person full of smiles and laughter. Her good humor and optimism can lighten the most difficult situations. There will always be a small comment or joke on her part, always with the intention of encouraging her teammates.

Sparrow is loyal to her teammates and friends, she is capable of risking her own life in order to protect them, sometimes she will even disobey orders for the good of the team. It's not uncommon to see Sparrow put her loved ones ahead of herself in many situations.

Although Hannah is a person who can light up a dark room with her smile, she can become very suspicious of strangers. She usually leans a lot on her intuition that almost never fails.

Sparrow is hard to anger, yet she can become very temperamental when she sees something that isn't fair. When her anger fills her veins she can become aggressive and strike with all her might without warning. Not caring who she may be hitting.

BIOGRAPHY:

Born in Kingston Upon Hull in England but raised in Zermatt, a small town located in the Swiss Alps. She comes from a large family, raised by a British father and a Swiss mother, being the second oldest of four siblings. Her father was a tank mechanic when he served in the army, so Hannah learned a lot about how to fix all kinds of engines and vehicles. She grew up climbing the Alps with her father and older brother, creating a great passion for high altitude and extreme climbing. Sparrow climbed the fourteen highest peaks in the world together with her brother. Unfortunately Sparrow didn't make it, because on the last mountain (K2) she suffered an accident, saving her brother from falling while climbing, the ice broke due to an avalanche, and she was lost on the mountain for days until a rescue team found her full of cuts and wounds from the ice and stones. When she was transferred to the nearest hospital, she made her brother swear that he would finish climbing that damn mountain for her.

SKILLS:

Expert in all types of engines and ground vehicles.

Expert in demolitions and electrical systems.

Expert in extreme high-altitude climbing.

Sparrow can adapt to any situation but there is no better assault soldier than her.

COMBAT:

Sparrow's close combat style is aggressive yet agile. Her style focuses on boxing and Mixed Martial Arts. Her strength is concentrated in her fists, so it is not surprising that her knife of choice is a pair of Punch Knives.

TRIVIA:

Sparrow along with her brother Nathan, they hold the historical record of climbing the fourteen highest mountains in the world in less than six months. Although sadly Sparrow did not manage to complete the last mountain.

Although Sparrow denies it, since the accident she has a certain fear of returning to K2. A cold sweat runs down her back just thinking about it. But it's a fear she's determined to face.

Sparrow is especially fond of her motorcycle, which she bought with money saved from her first job at age 18. This is a Kawasaki ninja zx-10r.

Sparrow's father gave her his prized car, a 1970s HEMI Cuda. Sparrow continues to fight to make that car work again as well as it did fifty years ago. In fact, she made a bet with her brother Connor, he thinks she won't get it fixed.

When Sparrow is out of service, she has a small car workshop in Zermatt, where she is dedicated to fixing the vehicles of the neighbors.

Sparrow's nickname comes from her incredible ability to whistle. She's capable of imitating almost all bird songs. More than once Sparrow has managed to get a bird to perch on her hand just by whistling.

The WW1 fic with India and Canada was one of my favorites! And in no are fics set in WW1 repetitive :( its a really interesting time period for the world and it makes a lot of sense to focus in on it

Here it is! Ancient fic, set in February of 1916. Aditya saved Matt's ass at the Second Battle of Ypres the previous April, and I think they have a good rapport. Please note this fic dates to early 2019 or earlier, and I might have missed some cultural points. It is mostly unedited but cross-posted to Ao3.

February 1916

"When did you learn Hindi?" Aditya asks in the morning during rotation. Matthew's soldiers are coming off the line, and the Indian divisions are moving in. It's the same routine as usual. Men slowly trickle out under the cover of darkness, and others creep in. Soldiers rouse each other with hands on shoulders and single fingers pressed to mouths. Quiet is key. There's no oil left in the lamps, and the braziers are banned here since the last dugout fire, and it is cold. Bitterly, bitterly cold. Matt squats across from Aditya in front of the tiny camp stove, shaded from the enemy by a windbreak of scrap iron and pours tea into mugs, handing one over when it looks an appropriate shade of brown. Aditya looks down at it apprehensively but doesn't turn his nose up at Matt's shit attempt. He even holds it close. Matt feels grubby next to him and doesn't know how Aditya keeps himself a fair sight cleaner than any Canadian, officer or otherwise, considering the weather. Even Matt's fingers are blue when he pulls back his gun mitts to hold the tea and breathe in the steam.

"I didn't," Matt shrugged. "Only know little pieces,"

"I saw you this morning." Aditya looked at him through narrowed eyes. "Bypassed the officers and went right to the sergeant. And the sergeant doesn't speak English,"

"So you saw me gesturing like a windmill then," Matt gave a snort.

"You've got enough to get the point across,"

"Barely. And they needed to know about the funk holes. Three collapsed on us in the last week. Killed a man in his sleep. Officers usually forget their men don't sleep in beds in the dugout."

Aditya hummed, satisfied with the answer and gave a smile. They're rare on the front, but more common on the first day of a rotation than the last.

"Tell me," Aditya passed the mug between his hands, as if he was debating taking a drink of not. Matt didn't blame him. The water had smelled brackish even before he'd added tea. "Was the first word you learned vegetable? Or was it curry?"

"Neither," Matt shrugs. "Sorry,"

"What for?" Aditya frowned. "You're young still. You haven't finished growing. We'll make a fluent speaker out of you yet."

"No," Matt rolled his shoulders, a little embarrassed and resisting the urge to duck a bit. "The first word I learned. It was 'sorry,'"

Aditya snorts in amusement. "Of course it was." He takes a sip and grimaces.

"I make godawful cup of tea, sorry,"

"That you do." Aditya set the cup back down on the stove. "Though the fault is not entirely yours. Army tea is... regrettable,"

"What about the fucking army isn't regrettable?" Matt snorted, dug around his coat for the flask of grog he'd saved from the dinner rations the night before. He offered it up like a toast, at a jaunty angle, shaking it a little. Aditya shook his head, shrugged and made a small "Mm, why not," sort of sound. He held out the cup and Matt gave each of them a glug or two.

Face twisted up in a grimace Aditya shakes his head. "That never gets better. How do you drink that ever day?"

"Only England's finest paint thinner for Arthur Kirkland's third favorite son," Matt said bitterly, knocking back half the mug in two gulps. He wished he still had some of the bourbon Alfred had sent in his last care package. Aditya's brow furrowed. Matt drank more to escape his gaze. Even as sharp and foul as army grog was, it sent ribbons of warmth across his body, gave him courage when he didn't have any left, steadied his nerves. They're sitting in peaceable silence now, just the whistle of the wind through the grates. No gunshots, no gurgling wounded, no screaming dead. In moments like that, Matt thinks he might make it his next birdsongs with his sanity intact. But not in silence. He's used to Jack filling up the quiet with movement, with his inane chattering to anyone and anything. He's loud, lively, distracting.

Aditya's company is quiet, dignified. He's the sort of man Matthew gets on best with. Calm, logical, patient. He's older than them all put together. Father and Papa and the elder Beilschmidt brother are ancient to Matt. But Aditya is ancient to even them. He wonder's vaguely, if there's anything under the sun that satisfies anymore when someone got that old. Much of his own father seems deadened by the centuries. But Father doesn't grimace at the taste of army rum and army tea.

"What do you drink?" Matt asks, thinking of the spiced tea he'd had behind the lines once when the Indian divisions had swapped camp with the French on his flank.

"Anything warm," Aditya laughs, sits back onto a pile of sand bags and lifts his cup. "Tin of piss or not. At least its warm,"

"I mean at home."

"There are as many kinds of tea as there are languages in my country," Aditya shrugged placidly. "I have loved every one,"

"You can't drink every single one every day thought!" Matt returned. Aditya was hard to read but Matt did his best, searching him for… something. "What do you actually like to drink?"

Aditya frowns at him and turns Matt's scan back on him. Old countries scanning for suspicious intent drag a sort of weight along with their observation, a heaviness of centuries. Matt doesn't hide anything on his face around Aditya. He has no reason too. And Aditya could probably read anything he did try to hide anyway. Aditya has always been a distant presence, but he had dragged Matt out of Ypres the year before and had never been unkind, before or since. Eventually, Aditya smiled, as if satisfied with what he had found on Matt's face.

"Palm wine," He finally says and his eyes are thousands of miles away, at home. "It's rather sweet but you take the sap from certain kinds of palm tree, and it ferments quickly. Sometimes within a couple of hours its enough. Or you can let it sit and it will get stronger and more sour, but it’s a delight!"

His voice sounded nostalgic, homesick. Matt pours them more tea, and shoves a few more pieces of coal on the anemic fire. Aditya shuffles closer.

"Sounds nice," Matt sighed, leaning into his hand. "We make maple wine. Its about the same process." He could see the maples, thin and scarlet and just out of reach. He can almost smell them, earthy and nutty on the breeze. The soil of the Canadian shield was dense, compacted by glaciers that even centuries melted Matt could feel in his veins. Mountains had once laced up and down, but eroded by the centuries. He could taste the zinc and the salt of his black soil.

"How old are you?" Aditya asked all of a sudden, startling him out of his own poisonous thoughts. Home was strength and sorrow and everything good in him but it was only weakness now. He was staring at Matt again and Matt compulsively dragged his collar up.

"Three hundred and seventeen," Matt said, sitting up straight.

"You're an infant," Aditya shook his head. "A babe in arms exposed to this."

"And I have near 200 years on Jack and Zee," Matt said. "It's not fair to them. They're too young for this."

"You're all far young for this!" Aditya shook his head. "I never thought I would see mankind progress to this level of savagery. But to drag children into it!" He made a disgusted noise that Matt associated with Arthur, but he couldn't say he disagreed.

"It's not fair on them," Matt said.

"Nor you," Aditya looked pensively into his mug. "Or I,"

Matt didn't know what to say to that. The man he'd once called Papa had been invaded. He might have found himself here, even if Dad hadn't taken up the cause and dragged the empire with him. But Aditya? He was from what Matt dimly knew as a place thousands of miles away. He'd spent half of the crown's tours of India too feverish to roll over, much less take in the sights with any coherence.

"It doesn't get easier then?" He asked very gently because he might not know the depth of Aditya's sorrow, but he knew its breadth. Every square mile of his country and the lack of it beneath his feet ached like an old scar in his chest. "Missing home as you get older?"

"A little," Aditya said. "Human pains are so very intense when we're young. But you will never outgrow it. No matter how old we are, home is home. The lack of it will always ache." He looked devastatingly sad for a moment, a centuries long grief older than Matt and maybe even Arthur had been alive. "But it is cruel, to tear you from home when you've hardly planted your roots. It is much harder to kill a plant with deep roots."

"Its not the longest I've been away," Matt said. He thought of the years he'd spent in Australia after he had indulged the screaming need for just an inkling of control in his life. He thought of the prison ship and the burning sun on his neck, unnatural and agonising on his back. But he'd had Jack, who in his way, was a sort of home too. He swallowed down something painful born of love. "I'll survive. But it never goes away? The pain?"

"Never," Aditya said. "I think your father has numbed himself to the reality of our existence. Thinks that centuries have to make one cruel or they have not been long enough. But we never lose it. Every day people are born and people die, every year we reap and we plant. We build and tear down. There is always something new as the old fades. It brings life and feeling with it. After a few centuries it… stabalises. I think. Like adulthood in a way I think. The fits of passion that come with youth settle a bit. But you won't go numb, if that's what you fear."

Matt dipped his head, nodding and hiding. Endless misery then. Endless pain in his lungs, endless wars to be dragged into. The wind seemed to blow colder then, as if to remind Matt that home or abroad, his fate still rested under the north wind to be scoured with ice as it willed. He shivered.

"You didn't fear it at all!" Aditya looked startled. "You hoped for it!" He phrased it like a question but it wasn't one. He set his mug aside and looked very intense.

"Your humanity, our ties to humanity? It's what will keep you sane when you have nothing else. Every heart that beats in your chest is a chance to do better. To be better. Wish for anything but that fading, do you understand me?" He leaned forward, hands clenching between his legs.

Matt was silent, ashamed of himself for some reason. He felt like a coward. Next to Jack, next to Zee, even next to Alfred, he was quiet and steady and mature. But under Aditya's gaze in that moment, he had never felt more like a child. Aditya looked a bit kinder when Matt got up the courage to make eye contact again.

"They," He nodded off in the direction where Matt's soldiers were packing up their kits in their preparations to march behind the lines. "Are why we're here. And they cannot numb your agony. But they can be your joy. Don't align yourself with kings and politicians. It’s the ordinary people that will keep you. Live the cycles of years with them. Celebrate spring, peace and the festivals, mourn winter and war. It's how we stay sane."

"That's why Father--"

"Has been half mad for centuries?" Aditya laughed. "Yes. I believe it is. He likes to think himself rather posh, above it all. But he isn't. None of us are. And stay that way, Matthew. Don't make yourself an exception."

Pre-Shatrujeet Lore

To know about the current Shatrujeet Unit, go through here!

What if I told you that before Aditya, Yuvraj, and Venkateshwar.. the Shatrujeet Unit was something else entirely?

I'm talking about Major Kulshrestha's original team, his first unit consisting of Lieutenant Arjun K. Dhingra, Lakshya Singhania, and a few other commandos who stood alongside them when it all began.

Major Kulshrestha founded the Shatrujeet Unit, assembling a group of elite warriors dedicated to neutralizing high-level threats, executing critical counter-terrorist operations, and specializing in hostage rescue and guerrilla warfare.

At its inception, the unit included Arjun, Lakshya, and two other commandos from different regiments, Private Govind and Staff Sergeant Prabhas, both of whom aspired to join the PARA SF. With sheer willpower, courage, and unwavering determination, they tackled every mission, eliminating threats to national security. Among them, Kulshrestha saw great potential in Arjun. He believed the young lieutenant could become an exceptional commando, perhaps even more than he himself once was.

(Still need to figure out the FC's for Govind and Prabhas!)

Back then, Arjun was different. He was not the stoic or aggressive man you know him as now, but with a calm, sane and hopeful personality, filled with determination. His bond with Lakshya was as strong as the one he would later share with Aditya, Yuvraj, and the rest of his future comrades. They were a family, bound by brotherhood, trust, and the unspoken promise to always have each other’s backs. But then, that one mission changed everything.

It was supposed to be a simple yet high-stakes operation, to locate and eliminate a militant leader whose death was important for the safety of the country. The unit split into two teams.

Major Kulshreshtha, Arjun, and Lakshya would infiltrate the building where intel suggested the target was hiding.

Govind and Prabhas would locate and dismantle the militia's base, crippling their reinforcements.

Everything seemed to be going as planned. But as the trio advanced toward their target’s supposed location, they realized too late, they had been deceived. The building was empty. It was a trap.

At that same moment, chaos erupted at the militia’s base. The second team had been ambushed, overwhelmed by enemy forces far greater than they had anticipated.

Arjun and Lakshya turned back, pushing through gunfire to regroup. In the chaos, Lakshya took a hit, bleeding, but alive. They made it to the base, only to be met with a harrowing sight.

The battlefield was littered with bodies. Theirs. Govind and Prabhas lay among the fallen, lifeless.

Arjun froze. The sight burned into his memory, a moment he would never forget, never forgive. The mission had failed. The leader had outmaneuvered them, and the cost was devastating. Nearly half of Kulshrestha’s unit was gone.

Anger swelled within Arjun, but in that moment, he made a choice, to protect who remained. With Lakshya still wounded and the enemy forces closing in, Major Kulshrestha made the call.

“I’ll stay back and call for reinforcements.” He turned to Arjun and Lakshya, urgency in his voice. “You two, get the hell out of here.”

Arjun clenched his jaw, unwilling to retreat. “Sir, we can’t just—”

Lakshya grabbed his arm, his voice low but insistent. “Arjun, we have to trust him. We need to get to the leader before he slips away.”

Arjun’s mind raced, torn between duty and instinct. But as the sounds of approaching militants grew louder, he knew there was no time to argue. With one last look at the Major, he nodded.

“We’ll finish the mission.”

Then, Arjun and Lakshya disappeared into the shadows, pushing forward with the mission.

Meanwhile, Major Kulshrestha wasted no time. He radioed for reinforcements, his voice steady despite the chaos unfolding around him. With only a few magazines left, he braced himself, determined to hold the line for as long as he could.

Gunfire erupted around him. The enemy was closing in fast. But Kulshrestha had survived worse. He gritted his teeth, gripping his weapon tightly. If this was where he made his last stand, he would make every bullet count. By luck, the Major barely made it through the chaos, and the reinforcements arrived, killing the rest of the militants, securing Kulshrestha into the aircraft and taking him back to the base. They also secured Arjun but, he couldn't see Lakshya around. Arjun was too petrified to reveal what happened, as shock still remained on his war painted face. There, he found out Lakshya sacrificed his own life for Arjun to live, leaving Arjun and Kulshrestha as the only remaining survivors.

The leader slipped away from their hands, which put the unit at a tremendous loss over the deaths of Prabhas, Govind, and, lastly, Lakshya. Shaurya was certainly devastated by the deaths of his commandos, but the most affected was Arjun, who suffered the loss of Lakshya, who sacrificed himself for Arjun to survive. That was the moment that drastically changed Arjun's psyche and perception of life completely. Lakshya and Arjun were about to be promoted as Captains together, but it seemed like.. fate had different plans for them.

After Arjun was promoted to Captain, he took responsibility for the unit from then on. In his new form, now driven by vengeance for the friends he lost, especially Lakshya, he brutally killed the leader who had murdered his comrades.

For now, in the present day, the Shatrujeet Unit still has Major Kulshreshtha and Captain Arjun, but with new commandos, Sergeant Aditya, Staff Sergeant Yuvraj, and Lieutenant Venkateshwar. Shaurya and Arjun have carried on with their duties, but the past has left a tremendous impact on them.

*everyone in the Shatrujeet Team even the others (our mutuals OC) are celebrating Captain Arjun’s birthday*

*and he was starting to open up presents before he’s got to the last ones*

Arjun, was looking at the box present: And who’s this might be from?

Kavya, smiling at him: This one was from Agnes.

Arjun: Oh? Well then. I hope it’s not one of those PRANKS. 😒

Kavya: Ajju, I’m sure she won’t go THAT far. Just opened it.

Arjun: Fine fine. *started to ripped the paper off and lifted the cover off*

Aditya: What’s in it, Captain?

Yuvraj, was standing next to Agnes from the back: What did you get him?

Agnes, smiled: Oh you’ll see.

*Arjun soon took out three different frames as he saw the first one that looks like a really good realistic drawings of the Shatrujeet Team and even the others (mutual OCs)*

Arjun, looked surprised: Huh. Impressive.

Kavya: Oh my. It seems like she’s making use of the gift she received on HER birthday. *smiling at Arjun*

Arjun, smile a little: I guess. *looked at the other photo frame before seeing another realistic drawing of him, Kavya and their son*

Kavya: Aaaaaw! I look quite beautiful in there.

Arjun, chuckled and looked at Kavya: You’re ALWAYS beautiful, my love.

Venkatesh, is talking with Agnes: You really do have some talent, Sergeant.

Agnes: Thanks! Although……I hope he likes the LAST one.

Yuvraj: Huh? Why wouldn’t he?

Arjun, look at the last one as he paused and stared at it: …………

Kavya, perked at her husband staring: Ajju? Something wrong? *took a look at it and she looked surprised before placing a hand over her mouth a bit*

Agnes, sweating a lot: Um…

Ventakesh: ……Blast? What is that last drawing?

Agnes: U-Uh-

Arjun: BLAST.

Agnes: !!! *took a peek from behind Yuvraj*

Arjun: Come here please.

Agnes, gulped before slowly walking over and stood in front of him: Y-Yes, Cap? *sweat a lot seeing him standing up*

Arjun, showed her the photo: What is this? How did you get it?

Agnes: I-I-I saw it. On your desk. And you know me with great memories. So I decided to draw it with my memories. And I thought you would like it in a different pose with him. And I know it’s wrong for me to bud into your business but I thought it might be nice for you to have something new. N-Not that the photo you have is bad or anything I-

Arjun: SILENCED.

Agnes: …………

Kavya: Ajju…

Arjun: You have NO idea…

Agnes, feeling nervous: I-I’m sorry sir…

Yuvraj, was worried for Agnes: Oh boy…

Aditya, also worried: ………

Arjun: You have no idea…… *gently touched her shoulder*

Arjun: Of how grateful I am of what you made.

Agnes, was shocked: R-Really?

Arjun, smiled a bit before looking at the photo: Yeah…you actually got every part of him right. I’m impressed. *smiling back at Agnes before pulling her in for a hug*

Arjun: Thank you.

Agnes: ………*smiled as she hugged him back*

Agnes: Of course, Arjun. Happy birthday.

Kavya: *smiled softly*

Yuvraj, sigh in relief: I thought she’s gonna die.

Aditya, hit Yuvraj’s arm: Really?

Yuvraj: What? I THOUGHT!

Venkatesh: *chuckled*

Kulshrestha: *smiled proudly to see the Captain*

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ARJUN!

🥳🎊🎉🎂

OH MY GOD TARO I ALMOST CRIED THIS IS THE SWEETEST THING YOU COULD EVER WRITE!! 😭🤍

Agnes drawing Lakshya and Arjun together in the final page pulls my heartstrings! To be fair, Arjun IS very grateful, because it felt like Lakshya also had finally come to wish him a happy birthday, as well. Not by physical presence, but through memories. Through Agnes' drawing, it has been conveyed more beautifully!

He's going to keep it in his special drawer with Lakshya's items — (the diary with poems and the fountain pen, with their last photograph) it has made it into Arjun's prime memories! Good job, Agnes! 🤍

And thank you so much for writing this, Taro! Arjun says thanks to you, too <3

[welldonekhushi]

Heya Khushi! Just one questions for each of some of your OCs!

🌸 For Aditya

🥀 For Scarlet

🍄 For Arjun

🌻 For Vasili

🌾 For Yuvraj

And for you my dear!

☄️

Thank you!

🌸

Aditya Tripathi: Aditya's favorite things are watching movies, learning new stuff like hobbies or something educational, and loves to eat. For movies, Aditya loves to watch movies at the cinema when he was a kid. He once lied to his mother that he was going to study at his friend's place but the truth was he went with his buddy to the cinema. One day he did get caught! Badly, and it actually forbade Aditya to go to the cinema by himself unless he gets permission *sniff

Aditya also loves to learn new stuff, and constantly updating, training and educating himself to improve into a better person. And for eating, Aditya has a high metabolism. Yes, that's all you need to know haha!

🥀

Already answered!

🍄

Arjun K. Dhingra: Arjun's comfort food is a dessert, named shrikhand, which is surprisingly his wife's favorite dessert too. But he has stopped eating any sweet foods for a long time for dietary measures. Catch him mostly eating toast, tea or salad. Arjun doesn't cook much but once he prepared dinner for the Shatrujeet Unit, and by surprise, it was so well made! He's a very organized person, he will try not to burn the kitchen.

🌻

Vasili Sokolov: For Vasili, a tiny gesture or an act of kindness can light up his day. If you offer him tea, snacks or locate a missing document that he had been looking for weeks or at least a month, he'd be forever grateful to you. Also, Vasili loves seeing the sun rise. It's like a new beginning for him, a rebirth where he's now a different person, slowly learning from his past and becoming a better person.

🌾

Yuvraj Chaudhary: Currently, Yuvraj doesn't have someone who's absolutely head-over-heels for him, but if he had one, they'd probably think of Yuvraj as kind, loyal, protective and the one who'd always act as a ladder of support for them, to achieve their goals.

☄️

At times I can be nice, and at times I am not. But this is all for the sake of character development, I'm being honest.. ahem. Yeah.

[welldonekhushi]

*during a mission* Arjun: Weren't Marchant team supposed to be here? *looking around* Aditya: Are they late maybe? Yuvraj: Nah, I've spoke with Jackson, they're never late no matter how disorganized they can look like Arjun: Then? *comms come to life* Alicia: Nice to see you, Arjun *through radio* Arjun: Where are you? Alicia: What do you you mean where am I? Can't you see me? Not even my team? Arjun: No, have you even arrived yet? Alicia: Hehehe, turn around Arjun: *turns around* Alicia: Hi :) *hanging upside down inches from his face* Arjun: *backs away with a jump* When did you-?! Alicia: We've been here for some minutes, don't worry

Hahaha they really scared the shit out of Arjun! Imagine if Alicia and her team appeared like this at the most random moments and all the Captain could do is to let it be as it is, at least they're being punctual and vigilant on duty, haha!

This is amazing Witch, I love it! (⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)

[welldonekhushi]

*Yuvraj and Aditya was trying to get Arjun get along with Graves for this ONE mission* Aditya: Look, since you can't say anything NICE about the Commander. Try saying the OPPOSITE of whatever you're thinking. Arjun: Hmm. Interesting. I'll give it a try. Arjun, clearing his throat: Ahem. Um...Commander Philip Graves was.......a friend. Yuvraj, smiled: See? It's not that hard to say something ni- Oh You're VOMITING! Arjun:

Believe me this has been nothing but the most accurate shit I've ever seen—! 😂👍🏻

Catch Graves and Arjun through subtle insults, bickering and roasts at each other while they fight and get the job done. Yup, they both are capable of dealing the mission away but they'd never be capable of being together. By no means at all haha!

Graves would rather call him a "friend" as a way of taunting him and telling others it's all okay between the two, but nope. It's never going to happen, thanks for the ask Taro! ♡

[welldonekhushi]

Hear me out:

Arjun just saying 'screw it' one day and putting loads of salt in Grave's coffee.

HOLY MOLY, INARI! This grudge has taken to the next level, haha!

It'll be a very rare moment when Arjun would just "snap out of it" and mixes salt in Graves' coffee. He'd be like, "I made it with love." and Graves would keep on drinking it despite knowing he had added tremendous amounts of salts, as he smiles but angrily. "Thank you.. Captain Dhingra."

The next day, Graves prepared some burnt tea by boiling it too much, much to Arjun's annoyance. Sure, them offering beverages to each other is a kind gesture, but at the same time, their acts of service also have a hint of pettiness, which makes it funny!

Reminds me of something that I made a few hours ago! This is them arguing, as Aditya is vibing in the background, with Yuvraj doing the sound effects like as if they're in a soap-opera. It'll be a popular drama, I'd tell you *cackling*

Hope you like it, and hope it answers your question!

[welldonekhushi]

Hey pele! Just curious for your OCs (ANY of your OCs or both) reactions!

If any of your OCs saw Tiala's Ex-Boyfriend had approached to her and seeing that he wanted to get back together again. They were about to come confront him before they were surprised to see Tiala punched him in the face and saw him got knocked out cold and fell onto the ground.

What are their reactions? What will they say?

If Scarlet was there? She'd be shocked at first and asks Tiala why she did that and it was unacceptable. Let's say Scarlet didn't know that was her ex-boyfriend, but when Tiala mentions that it was her ex? Then oh boy.. she looks down at the passed out man and then back at her, flashing a grin. "Oh! Well, then that's acceptable. Absolutely, queen!" As she chuckles and takes Tiala for a cup of tea at the nearest café.

If Arjun was there? I bet he'd have her ex-boyfriend on his list. And one day when that day came and Tiala punched him in the face, he gave her slow claps, nodding in amusement as well. "You deserve a medal for doing that, Captain Tiala." as she responds with a polite "Thank you, sir." as Arjun tells her ex-boyfriend to find someone "better" before they both take their leave.

It's even funnier when Aditya and Yuvraj are there with her. Not Yuvi cheering and Aditya staring at the body in shock. Venkatesh would be like ".. well deserved." with a cold look.

[welldonekhushi]

This one I could see that Arjun was the one with an arrow on his shoulder and the one next to him would be Aditya who looked like he's going to get into LOTS of trouble after this check up. Because he could feel his Captain's angry and disappointing glare at him.

This is MORE like Arjun and Abhimanyu. Don't get me wrong but Abhi would often miss his aim and end up almost injuring his father, and they end up at the hospital like this, haha!

Let's say Aditya gets retired from the army and now works as a doctor, seeing Arjun and Abhimanyu like in the photo, as he goes, ".. is everything okay, sir?", "Do you think it even is, Tripathi?"

And Abhimanyu casts his head down in embarrassment, lol. Sorry for the late response, internship has got me busy lately *sniff*
