UM WHAT ARE WE DOING ABOUT THE MAGIC SITUATION?!? like i love you Yiran, but you running around with all that would be the most dumbest decision ever 😭

“Rui wasn’t good at giving praise. “Is that why you were snoozing earlier?” she asked instead. “Because you stayed up all night again?”
“That was a beauty nap.”
“I guess you do need one.”
“You wound me,” Zizi said, a hand on his chest.”

THEIR BANTER IS EVERYTHING 😆🤭

bae is so in denial rn it’s funny. tbh both of them 😂😆🤭

bae and winter cannot stand each other at all! having them ride in the same car for this college viewing trip is going to be so fun and hilarious 😂🤭

A Very Bloody Kalyanam: the comfort of South Indian weddings, the very mythical twist and soothing familiar words, this short story stole my heart from the very beginning! the detailed explanation of the rituals and THE CHARACTERS! shloka and kritik have my heart! the way they communicated and actually talked through their situation: 10/10. the bi-rep, the family dynamics, ugh i absolutely adored reading this!

“The Gods wove Kritik into my fate, and they’ll kill me if I stray.”

soulmatism at its peak>>>>

A Wedding Recipe for Disaster: Ah the classic trope of rival families and all the drama on the wedding day? SCANDALOUS! but this was so fun and such a rollercoaster read! Can’t wait to read her debut work!

A Confluence of Fates: Ms. payal doshi. I need to let you know that please please please write a ya book which has romance in some form. cause what you wrote in those few pages has me eager to read more (dw im gonna run to read your debut asap) but please think about this <3

“I want to see the person you are meant to become, Alia. Entirely on your terms, either as a friend, or if I should be so lucky, more than one. But this time, I’m not letting you go.”

all these green forests are making me wonder if reality will ever compare 😭

“Aye-aye, soniyo. Now can we put our knives away? Let’s pretend we like each other, even if you don’t,” he says.
“Don’t you mean ‘we’? And you say this as you’re reaching for a formidable-looking knife.”
“I like you plenty. And I meant the figurative one.”

the wedding biryani: just another cynic finding love in the most unexpected places 🦋✨

“If I ever get that far, mine would be a simple nikah with just family. “If” being the biggest question. Or, I might be happy just surrounded by books, cats, and chai.”

we’re soul sisters. we’re meant to be. too bad you’re fictional 😭😭

Fates Favorite: Tashie Bhuiyan picking one of the most soulmate trope on earth and writing this wasn’t in my cards, but im so glad she did. cause this is so sweet, you would probably get diabetes 🥹😭💘 nivali and aman are the cutest ever! (oh and the fact that some of these characters are named after her cousins is even sweeter 😭)

“If you’re not willing to die for what you love, what’s the point of being alive?”
story no. 3 done :)
such a beautiful story about standing up for oneself, and understanding that sometimes your parents are wrong (even if they’ll never admit it).

“There’s that smile,” he says. “It seems like you’re going through a tough time, and you don’t have to talk about it, but I hope it gets better because you really do have a lovely smile.”
“It’s stupid,” I say, cheeks heating.
“I’m sure it isn’t. If you’re upset, it must be something.”
“No, no it is.”
“Well… you’re not stupid.”
where do i order myself a raza?

1. The Disaster Wedding
this was such a cute story that shows the message of words and their power. jaanu and damien are so adorable with their hate-to-like-to-hopefully-love trope <3

“Who did this?” Rui is bent over my body, shielding it from the world, anything and everything that could harm me. His voice is a furious growl. “Who did this to you?”

IM NOT LIKING WHERE THIS IS GOING AND I NEED TO WAIT MONTHS BEFORE THE NEXT BOOK COMES OUT!!!!

“Your hatred pierces my heart as much as your dagger, Reaper. If your dagger had struck my heart at all.”
“It will,” I promise him.
“You’ll find that I guard my heart very closely.”
“It’s easy to bypass the rib cage. All I need is another chance. I assure you, Pied Piper, that I will hold your heart in my hands before the days of our bargain come to a close.”
“Destroy me, then.”

Tonight, I just may murder the Pied Piper.
Tonight, I just may earn my freedom.

highly unlikely but sure, I’ll indulge this

I was standing in a pool of blood.
It wasn’t mine, I realized, slowly lifting my gaze from my feet.
No, it was theirs.
My breath caught in my throat as I took in the heap of bodies strewn across the floor of the corridor.
THIS IS SO HEARTBREAKING I WANT TO CRY. WHATS WITH THE ENTIRE WORLD BEING AGAINST HER?!? 😭😭💔💔

“I don’t know what this will mean for us going forward. Will we ever have a moment like this again? But none of that matters. I push it all to the back of my mind. Because tonight, the world is ours.”

As for Jaewoo, he’s no longer leaning against the back of the wall, but sitting slightly forward. His head is tilted, and his eyes aren’t on the camera anymore. He’s looking at me, his expression caught between a smile and a laugh.
I feel my heart give a literal flutter in my chest.
