The Eternal Love
A story abut the love for which Mahabharata had to happen again. Peep in to know more. Happy to know- #1 in amba out of 41 stories
Does the Moon Yearn for the Sun?
[ COMPLETED ] When war steals everything and truth arrives too late, can love still find a way? Or will it vanish like the sun at dusk and the moon at dawn? Urmila, an ordinary woman from the 21st century, never imagined her life would take a turn beyond time itself-until a near-death accident hurls her into the heart of the Mahabharata. Lost in an era of warriors, kings, and divine prophecies, she finds herself entangled in the fate of the Kuru dynasty. At first, her only desire is to return home. But that changes the moment she meets Angaraj Karna-the radiant, tragic son of the Sun God. A man scorned by society yet bound by unshakable honor. A warrior cursed by fate yet overflowing with kindness. And a heart so fierce and noble that it threatens to consume her own. As the great war of Kurukshetra looms, Urmila faces an impossible choice: should she defy fate itself to save the man she loves, or let history unfold as it was written? Her journey is one of love and loss, sacrifice and self-discovery, forcing her to question whether destiny can be rewritten-or if some souls are meant to burn together, only to fade apart. Can love truly transcend time, or will Urmila's arrival only deepen the tragedy that awaits Karna?Complete
A Change of Fate
In a twist of fate, the destinies of Karna, Arjuna, and Suyodhan intertwine on the 17th day after the death of Karna, as their memories are transported to their minds when they are at the pivotal stages of their lives. Karna, the anti-hero with an unwavering sense of loyalty; Arjuna, the skilled archer and arguably the hero of the epic filled with wrath due to suffering inflicted on them by his relatives; and Suyodhan, the antagonist whose choices led to the death of all whom he held dear, find themselves reliving their lives from a pivotal point. One of them swore off the war to protect his brothers, another swore to destroy any seeds of war and the third was left confused when there was no target to point his bow at. This is a bit controversial fic. But please give this a try.
Falling In Love - Dwaparyug
In a world where time bends and destiny weaves its own mysterious patterns, eight sisters from Kalyug - modern, spirited, curious - find themselves unexpectedly thrown back into the ancient and divine Era of Dwaparyug, the time of the Mahabharata. As they step into the grand courts of Hastinapur, the sacred lands of Kurukshetra, and the majestic halls of Indraprastha, they come face to face with legends they had only read about in scriptures: the valiant Pandavas, the wise Krishna, the mighty Bhishma, the fierce Karna, and the misunderstood Duryodhan. But this is not the Mahabharata you know. What if one of these sisters is none other than Mahalakshmi herself, incarnated without her own knowledge, drawn by cosmic design to restore the balance of fate? What if the infamous Dyut Sabha (the game of dice) still happened, but Duryodhan was not the mastermind behind it - what if he, too, was a noble-hearted prince, caught in the web of palace politics? What if Karna, instead of being torn between loyalty and dharma, stood firmly as a royalist, adopted by bhishma & the only way to tie pandav & kaurav In this twist of imagination, love blooms across time, as the sisters' modern hearts connect with the ancient souls of the epic's heroes. Bonds of love, respect, rivalry, and sacrifice are tested across centuries. This story is purely a work of fiction, a heartfelt tribute and imaginative reweaving of the epic Mahabharata. No disrespect is intended toward the original scripture, its divine characters, or the beliefs surrounding them. If you're sensitive to fictional reinterpretations, you may kindly choose to skip this. For those ready to dive into the depths of this reimagined tale, I invite you: step into the ocean of this book and discover a Mahabharata where fate itself gets a second chance. Shree, Radhe Radhe. #2 in radha on 5th June 25 #1 in mahabharat on 18 June 25

Radheya Karna: A Fallen Hero or A Sacrificing Sage? (Karna Series 1)
In the age of Mahabharat, at Hastinapur Khatriyo Adhiradh fell in love with Sudro girl Radha. They got married but failed to produce any offspring. Many years later, in Ganga river, they discovered a newly born child with earrings and armor. His face was bright as daylight. They took him and named him Basusen. Later Maharishi Parasuram took him as his disciple but Dronacharya refuted while giving him the name of Karna. He was a great archer and powerful fighter. His dream of life was to defeat Arjuna, the greatest archer of India and the Prince of Hastinapur. At the day of archery competition, he even challenged his rival but refuted by Kulguru Kripacharya for not being a Prince. Arjuna's cousin, Duryodhan, immeditely befriended him and rewarded him the throne of Anga Pradesh (today's Behar). He became Angaraj and became the loyal friend of Duryodhan till his death. He even had to take part in his friend's gulit, agony and wrongdoings unwantedly. But he had a secret in his birth. Did it make him or ultimately break him before the final war of Kurukshetra against Arjuna? Some of avid readers are asking why I did not mention here about his lover Baishali or his third wife Uruvi. Yes I had removed their names as I planned to pen down separate stories on all of them. I had followed Ved Vyas Mahabharata here mostly. I don't want to make this book into a big fat novel. So I write down a whole series on his each wives and off springs, Vrishaketu & Padmaja. Sorry if you find this story not related to my all other stories of Karna Series. This is my second story on my favorite Mahabharata series. He is my childhood crush till today. I dedicate this book only to him. This is my original story and I strongly declare that I did not publish it on any other platform than here. The source of the story were Mahabharat and related stories or biographies on Angaraj Karna. Pictures were taken from public domain. Images courtesy: Youtube, Google Chrome and Pinterest.Complete

The Other Sons of Destiny
Karna had always known the sting of being less than what his spirit longed to be. Denied by Drona, mocked for his birth, he should have walked away alone. Yet that day, two hands reached for his-Duryodhana's, burning with pride and loyalty, and Ashwatthama's, aching to step out of his father's shadow. What began as rejection became brotherhood. Three boys, bound not by blood but by the wounds the world carved into them, chose each other against the tide of tradition. In their laughter, their rage, their quiet promises, they discovered a strength no guru could give: the will to stand, together, even when the heavens themselves decreed otherwise as they started on the journey to make a mark on the strings of destiny themselves. This is not the tale of princes and destiny alone- it is the story of friendship born in defiance, of hearts that refused to break, and of a path where love and loyalty mattered more than fate. A tale where three brothers come together- bound by honor and not by blood- to protect and to stop injustice from spreading and corrupting the ones they love.

They say history celebrates its heroes, remembers its villains, and erases its 𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒔. But nothing erased stays hidden. Mistakes are meant to burn. Suffocate. Ache. They coil around the finger until it bleeds-or are carried by a yuga-but they never stay buried. An ordinary girl, Tarika Singh, entered Dwaparyug-and learned fire does not always burn. Sometimes- The scorching heat is Karn, the abandoned giver. The silent flare is Yudhishthir, the puppet of dharma. The cackling flame is Bheem, the weapon of vengeance. The curling smoke is Arjun, the dancer of battlefields. The biting spark is Nakul, the healer of destruction. The glowing coal is Sahdev, the foreseer of destiny. They say, fear the villains. As if they began it all. As if the world were not threads - pulled, twisted, strangled - each cutting the other. Some thread tightens like Duryodhan, desperate for the crown. Some knots itself like Dushasan, loyal until he forgets where he ends. Some loosens itself like Vikarn, questioning even the blood in his veins. It is law...threads burn when touched by flame. Only she decides whether they bind or snap. But She is no longer Tarika here. And the myth is no longer myth. 𝑨𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒚𝒂. Friend to the kauravas. Sister to the pandavas. Daughter of the sun. The ruiner... or the redeemer? It depends on who tells the tale. Because, To hear of the Mahabharata is one thing. To live it, surrounded by unknown faces, is another. Among the 'unknown', two men became her world, standing beside her, one like a vow, the other like a sin. Both willing to fall, if it meant she would not stand alone. "I wonder if the stars are jealous- they've never been looked at the way I look at her." "If the gods made her... perhaps they aren't so useless after all." ▪previously titled as Threads of Flames
THE TALE OF TRINITY ~ DWARPAR YUGA
In an age when kingdoms rose and burned under the weight of ambition, three men bound by loyalty and friendship. Duryodhana, the prince who refused to be a puppet of tradition, reshaped his empire with iron will and a heart that hid quiet storms. Karna, the outcast-king forged in fire, walked the line between honour and rebellion - a hero born of silence and wrath. Ashwatthama, the ansh of mahadeva carried both his father's curse and his own fierce love, standing torn between dharma and devotion. Together, they challenged gods and kings, rewriting the fate that others wrote for them. But when love, pride, and power entangled their paths, even friendship, their greatest strength was tested. "THE TALE OF TRINITY" is a sweeping reimagination of the Mahabharata, of war, of brotherhood. Of men who dared to love fiercely, fight righteously, and rule differently.
