    Summary

    A promise.

    A misunderstanding.

    A curse.

    Sri Krishna's vision of Dharmarajya with Yudhishtira at its helm is very near to completion. The only hurdle left is to bring the scattered kingdoms of Aryavarta under one flag.

    Arjuna is tired of war. He would rather spend the rest of his life with his brothers and his wives at Hastinapura, in peace and never to raise his once adored Gandhiva against anyone in existence.

    Yet when has fate ever favoured the third Pandava Prince?

    His life, a travesty of tragedy and heartbreaks.

    How will the invincible Dhananjaya, fulfil his dharma, the dream of a united Bharatvarsha, with nothing except his broken heart, the ghosts of the past to keep company, a brother he seems to be getting distanced from with every passing minute and the son of his arch nemesis who despises the very existence of him?

    On the other hand, Manipur is housing a cauldron full of secrets which is at the helm of boiling over when he finally reaches its mystical gates.

    When the past suddenly catches up to him, Arjuna is left standing at the precipice of salvation and destruction.
    Question is, what will he choose?

    Summary

    my "What if Raditz was resurrected?" AU. DBZ has the densest collection of "dead people who won't stay that way" short of a zombie movie, and thus a great place for my morbid side to play. Note: some fics are, quite frankly, "museum pieces" that were written very early on, when I was going by the early dubs for info and wasn't that good a writer. So if you see something flagged "museum piece", you have been warned!

    Summary

    In the blink of an eye, a modern man wakes up not in his apartment... but in the celestial palace of Svarga. He's no longer a nobody- he's Indra, the King of the Devas.

    Can a modern mind survive the politics of the Svarga or the traps of fate, or will he be just another name lost to history?

    SI-OC. Self-Insert.

    Summary

    What if fate dealt Ram a different hand—what if it wasn’t Sita but Lakshman who was whisked away by the forces of darkness? In this mind-bending twist of the Ramayana, the very heart of the epic is upended.

    Instead of the familiar quest to rescue a beloved wife, Ram is forced into a desperate search for his loyal brother, setting off a chain reaction of divine challenges, epic battles, and a redefinition of duty and destiny.

    A single guttering candle is all Rama can abide while on his sickbed.

     

    The sight of you is repugnant to me as a lamp is to one whose eye is diseased.

    Summary

    Dionysia is the Ramayana reflected as Orphic or Pythagorean scripture. The Universal Spirit, conceptualised as Dionysos in the Orphic religion, enters the world as Rama, Prince of Ayodhya. His destiny and purpose in incarnating is to destroy Ravana of Lanka, the Second Pentheus.

    Both Rama and Ravana are inexorably pulled towards one another, and towards their Fate. Rama realizes his divinity, loses his humanity to the god Whose incarnation he is; while Ravana undergoes a descent into madness and frenzy which mirrors that of Pentheus in the Bacchae. Sita, meanwhile, is the thread which binds them together, the Instrument of Fate.

    Dionysia is a reading of the Ramayana through the lens of Euripides. It is my answer to Valmiki, my explanation of how I read his text and why I do not always agree with what he says.

    The only answer worthy of Valmiki is a complete rewrite of his Epic. My source texts are wonders of the ancient world; I can only hope to do them justice.

    Summary

    Lakshman sneaks into Indrajeet's cave as he bathes, intending to kill the half-demon (quarter-demon, technically) crown prince of Lanka. He just fails to account for one thing: When a man bathes, he strips. Sometimes, completely.

    Summary

    A tale of two women's misfortunes. Vanara queen Tara and Kumbhakarna's widow Karkoti. As after fall of Lanka Vanara army invaded Karkoti's kingdom Sahyadri for being Lanka's ally and makes her slave queen to please Vanaras on expense of granting her child's life. She vows revenge and seeks Ravana's demonic older brother Shatanan Ravana's help who attacks Kishkindhya and in absence of Sugreeva captures Tara who had a tiff with co wife Ruma and was living alone. Thus Tara becomes slave queen of Shatanan Ravana who likes to share his things as pleases. Only help from Ayodhya can save her now.

     

    Based on Advut Ramayana , Bichitra Ramayana and regional or folk Ramayana where Sita slayed Dashanana Raavana's demonic older brother Shatanana/Sahasranana Raavana. And Vanar armies are more uncivilised and brutal towards Raksasas and assaults Raksasa queen's. I have twisted the tale

    Summary

    A Ramayana Retelling

    Sita walks back into Ayodhya not as a queen, but as a woman shaped by exile. Urmila counts the years in silence, her loyalty unacknowledged. Mandavi, always steady, finds her faith tested in a world that doesn't reward stillness. And Bharat—grief-stricken, duty-bound—must lead a kingdom while mourning a brother who was never truly gone.
    The Return is a reflective reimagining of the Ramayana, told not through battles and dharma, but through longing, loss, love, and quiet defiance.
    What does it mean to return—to a palace, to a relationship, to oneself—when everything familiar feels changed?

    Summary

    Rama is glad of the three princesses he brings back from Mithila along with Sita, both because she is relieved not to have to leave behind her sisters, and because they bring his brothers happiness, if not the same joy he has found with Sita. He does not expect to appreciate them in his own right, but before long he dotes on them like the little sisters he never had.

    Summary

    “Janaki Videha,” Rama says, and suddenly it is four years ago and Janaki is again a student politician stuck in a hospital bed after a bad encounter with the police, flipping through notes meticulously taken by a classmate who insists on anonymity but could only possibly be the lanky, nearly silent boy that everyone knows will one day be one of the richest men in India.

    Normally, a person seeing an old acquaintance after a few years would speak their name, then utter some platitude about how long it has been since they last met and invite them inside to catch up. Rama, who is only capable of erudition in front of men his father wants him to impress, conveys the implication that all of these social niceties have been uttered without saying anything but her name. Janaki smiles, takes off her shoes, and walks in.

    Every single accusation that his mothers threw at him, he accepted it. Yet, them accusing that Rama had never even loved Sita was more than what he could hear.
