"If the crown fits, baby, you're going down"Arundhati Shah was a mortal girl in the rule of the immortal Apsaras in the kingdom of Lanka, and you know how that goes. Cruel treatment from the heavenly beings because apparently, their egos were as large as their lives.But if Aru's learned anything, power doesn't have much to do with mortality.As a mortal girl in the rule of immortals, Aru had to find a way to make her life in this world worthwhile. And by worthwhile, she didn't mean getting spat on by the royals. No. She would be royalty in her own way, she would join the shadows as they schemed to overthrow the crown. She hated the royals. She despised them.Is there a thin line between love and hate, though? Well...When she meets Prince Aiden, the last of the Acharya line, things just become complicated when she's expected to kill him and take over the crown. However, she is just taught that in fact...The Cruel Crown obeys nobody.All of the characters (except my ocs) and og plot of tpq credits goes to the queen Roshani Chokshi! The general idea of the plot and the worldbuilding (tho its been changed a lot by me) credits goes to Holly Black!Lastly, this plot and chapters of the fanfiction DOES belong to me, so if you steal it, I steal you.…

When it came to her sister's crush, Aru Shah couldn't care less than she already did. She didn't even know the guy, and it didn't help that he was the hot topic in all of Kara's and Aru's conversations. She knew she had to meet the dude someday, because of their mutual friend group, but she didn't expect to meet him to help him and Kara for their project. It helped her too, so what was the point in denying?Aiden knew people only liked him, and talked to him because of his looks. He knew love was a waste of time, because the guy Aiden actually was was someone who nobody cared about. But when one of his friends came up to him and told him that she had found a model for their end-of-year project, he readily accepted, not knowing that this one person would make him change his perspective.In the end, he realised, there were albums of snapshots, all overflowing with pictures of memories he never knew he wanted.…

This is a collaboration between sleep-can-wait and Loife1m.Music had always been a part of Aru's life. It had been something that she had created to represent something both she and her sister treasured and loved. Something that had let her translate her emotions into something breathtaking and wonderful during that period of unhappiness. That something gave her happiness.But then she left and nothing was the same, her performances took a toll and she didn't allow her movements and voice to tell her story anymore. Not only that, a new band was on the rise, one whose goal was to take down hers. So her team was given a few new members to help boost their fame, and though she hated them at first, they helped her uncover a couple of things. Things that were new, things that she was in the process of learning, and things she had lost on the way. But most importantly, she re-learned something taught to her so long, long ago.'Hope is the thing with feathers.'Original story and characters belong to Roshani Chokshi…
