Summary
A reunion planned.
A much needed vacation.
Though originally for the 2013 team, some additions and deletions were regular when it came to the Indian Cricket Team, past and present.
However, what was not so regular was the beautiful yet sinister house in the woods.
Surrounded by the beautiful mountains and yet no one can rest easy here.
A glimpse of a mysterious child.
The sound of music which travels through the ground
An untimely snowstorm
Cuts, bruises and illnesses
And something is playing with their minds
For once even MS Dhoni does not have the answers and Jadeja seems to be on the verge of losing his cheer.
A ting of horror, a flicker of mystery. What awaits our motley group of boys?

Will you stand by me?
Summary - July 2017. A regular ODI series against New Zealand and a basic match in Ontago. Virat may have spoken a little out of turn during the match but it is what happened after the match which lit the proverbial fire. Did Virat have the mental maturity to take up the reins of captaincy with the ex-captain playing alongside him? Was he responsible for MS giving up his limited overs captaincy when he did? And what about the kids? How far was he responsible for Jassi's gloominess, the hint of accusation in Hardik's words and Rahul's outright censure? And when the pressure builds up, the outburst was directed at the person who deserved it the least; MS Dhoni. His ex-captain, his forever captain. His Mahi bhai. Could the damage control be done before it becomes too late? One ex-captain rethinking his decision to continue as a player and one captain whose dignity stops him from seeking the support he so desperately requires. And a Team in the throes of Doom.Complete

Homecoming
Summary - "The return makes one love the farewell." - Alfred de Musset Farewell. It is a simple word, holding behind it, a ton of feelings, of emotions, of what-ifs and maybes, of what was done, what could have been, what may have been. For a lone soul, even though the ache in his heart grew with every passing moment, Farewell strongly and strangely, felt like homecoming. Retired at long last, the parties, the laurels, the wishes and the celebration makes little sense to Virat. He has one destination in mind; one final promise to collect and to a few more to make. And he sets out for the same, not knowing that even simple moments can hold memories to light up a lifetime. Also, unknown to the player, more events are set in motion than what meets the eye.Complete

Be Wondrous Like Thunder
Season 6 - Episode 12... The episode which was eventually taken down... That infamous KWK incident nearly destroyed the budding careers of two young cricketers and didn't we give a sign of relief when things sorted out? Kind of? But the words remained, the comments, the hate and the lack of support. Hardik arrived for the rest of the New Zealand tour, his masks set in place and his attire downplayed to an extent that he was no longer recognisable. His eyes seldom looked up and when he was informed that MS Dhoni, that Mahi bhai, had said that he can share MS's room, as the hotel was otherwise completely booked out, whatever strength Hardik had painstakingly gathered around him was snapped away in one instant. How would face the one person whose opinion meant the world to him? What happened in that one night which helped Hardik to heal and to come back stronger from that incident which could have otherwise broken him? What exactly did MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli have to do with it? My Non Canon Take on the immediate aftermath of when Hardik rejoins the team after his ban got lifted.Complete
Batten down the hatches
Summary - This goes AU from after MS Dhoni announces his retirement. They saw the post but the words had ceased to hold meaning. Rohit, Virat and Ravinder Jadeja. While the others could, somewhat, accept the inevitable, for the three of them, the post on 15th August 2020 has left them despairing and desolate. For Virat, it has also left behind a lot of anger. Anger, which he did not know how to deal with. Poor MS Dhoni - He does not have the first clue about how to deal with this trio of adult teenagers. Angst and shenanigans ensue A/N - I have officially lost it Deem me crazy Should I even try to write on this?? Mehhh... Let me know 🥹 🥹 Warning- Do not expect a lot of normalcy in this 🥹
