Bold of you all to assume Aiden wouldn't fully take Aru's last name and instead become Aiden Acharya-Shah because why would Aruden even want to have the same last name as Kambekhat Gadhe Acharya.

It's Aiden Shah or nothing.

haven't posted tpq in a while so here's some hc's for y'all thirsty bitches

Aru learns how to knit, eventually, once things settle down. It's her one and only brainless activity that feels productive

Aiden really sucks at drawing, believe it or not. He can't paint or do art for shit.

Brynne is really into pottery (???) and she and Hira take a couples pottery class that ends... messily

Hira learns how to bake under Brynne, and eventually (lowkey) becomes a better baker than her. Sure, Brynne still cooks better, but Hira's just better at baking

Brynne's not mad that Hira's better than her. It's not a problem.

Everyone's really surprised that Brynne isn't upset that Hira's a better baker than her

Rudy discovers Chappell Roan and becomes obsessed

Rudy pulls up outside Mini's house one day with "HOT TO GO" blasting and gets arrested for disrupting the neighbors

this happens at three am

Mini knows how to play the piano (I think this is confirmed in the series???) BUT she only likes playing Taylor Swift because I SAID SO

And that's about all the fuel I have for today! Lmk if you have any tpq suggestions or prompts you want me to write (send in an ask and I'll probably bang it out)

Hanhaki AU BUT, AND HEAR ME OUT, Aru is the one who gets it, and chooses to get surgery and forgets all about Aiden. Aiden is extremely confused and miserable, and then HE gets hanahaki as well. He comes to the realization that Aru had it.

One of the potatoes gives Aiden the letter Aru wrote, explaining everything before the surgery occurred. Aiden actually sobs, but decides not to get surgery and in the end confesses his feelings to her.

But once you get surgery, you can never love that person again.

Aiden knows this, but smiles as he closes his eyes for the last time.

But whoever said that was wrong. Aru regains her memories and realizes she still loves him.

My animatic has all the essentials:

ARUDEN? ✓

Aiden's daddy issues? ✓

Pining? ✓

I have to repost this because of my account being terminated :( but I hope you guys can still enjoy.

what if once aru and aiden start dating they gain the ability to communicate telepathically? like, only the two of them share a mind link, and they can convey thoughts, feelings, images. and it’s a stronger mind link than what aru had with her sisters because of their relationship. i mean, they are soulmates

aruden headcanons for the soul

Aru always stays up late reading fan theories/conspiracies and Aiden tries to get her to sleep but just ends up falling asleep himself (randomly holding onto her arm or something) and Aru always smiles and makes sure he’s covered by a blanket

Aru has literally the most complicated Starbucks order and whenever the barista goes to make a comment about it Aiden will put on his don’t-you-dare face and the barista shuts up (poor thing doesn’t get paid enough for this)

Aru and Aiden always look good, but whenever they have to dress up for something Aiden is always more impressed because Aru’s regular outfits are always messy and chaotic and Aiden’s always like “How the hell-”

Aru is always creating these random concoctions where she mixes a bunch of ingredients to see how it’ll turn out and once, she put hot sauce on a brownie and enjoyed watching Aiden’s look of horror as she ate the whole thing (bonus: Brynne was horrified too, but after she tried it she declared Aru a genius in the kitchen)

Aru is a dog person and Aiden is a cat person, but somehow when Aru finally gets that Great Pyrenees, he gets along really well with Aiden’s cat Flash (Aru’s dog is named Gandalf and has fluffy white fur that could totally be a beard)

Aiden loves taking pictures of the ducks at the park, and one day he brings Aru along and realizes just how cute she looks and oh my gods he’s found a new favorite subject

Aiden is generally an ammamma and he is mercilessly teased for this but then one day he hurts himself trying to take a photo of something and discovers just how motherly Aru can be

Aru is literally the most sarcastic person Aiden’s ever known and as if her quips weren’t enough, she makes the most ridiculous jokes ever but he can’t stop the laughter bubbling out of his lips and when was the last time he smiled so much?

Aru is surprisingly good at baking (she’s not Brynne but all those lonely days when her mother was off on a business trip really paid off) and Aiden has made it explicitly clear that he does not bake but one day she decides to teach him anyways (which ends with flour in their hair, a slightly charred countertop, and an emergency call to Brynne)

Aru and Aiden have weekly movie nights in which Aiden is forced to watch the LotR/Harry Potter/Marvel movies in endless repetition and one day Aru realizes this and lets Aiden choose a documentary to watch at their next movie night and he’s so happy

They don’t fight often but when they do it’s about the other’s safety and they always end up apologizing in like 2.5 seconds because they’re so scared of hurting the other person

Aru always cries during character deaths or sad parts of a movie but pretends she doesn’t and Aiden never comments on it and just puts his arm around her and lets her cry quietly

No Control | Aiden Acharya

Aiden was now one hundred percent sure he had absolutely no control over his life.

First of all, he had to hang out with Rudy all the time. Which he wasn't mad about, per se, just annoyed. But, in all honesty, anyone would be annoyed if they had to hang out with their cousin all the time. And they'd be even more annoyed if that cousin had a crush on your best friend's sister.

Secondly, there was Aru. Aru also kind of tied in with the third thing that Aiden hated.

The prophecy.

It was probably the bane of his existence right now.

The prophecy stated, "Beware Aiden Acharya, the girl you love will be the death of you." Which was just wonderful because:

1) He was going to die. He couldn't even convince himself that the prophecy wasn't about him because it mentioned him by name. There wasn't any false meaning to it. He couldn't read in between the lines. It was simple. He was going to die.

2) It implied that he loved someone. Probably romantically. And there was only one person Aiden was avoiding for this reason.

Aru.

If Aiden was being completely honest with himself, he wasn't sure how he felt about Aru. It was just different from his other friends. There was something there that set her apart and made her shine.

But he couldn't be in love with her. Because he swore he was never going to fell in love. It didn't matter if she was Arjuna the Triumphant and he was Princess Draupadi. It didn't matter that his stomach turned every time their eyes met. He couldn't fall in love. If there was anything Aiden learned from his parents, it's that love always ended up in flames.

He remembered everything before the divorce. He remembered the arguments his parents had. He remembered the way his dad made him pick sides. He remembered leaving his house and going to Brynne's instead. He remembered taking long walks because he couldn't stay there any longer. He remembered worshiping those seven hours of school where he could be away from it all. He remembered how he'd turn up Taylor Swift to full volume to drown out the screams.

He still hated screams.

The fact that Aiden's mom had given up everything, literally everything, for his dad and it still wasn't enough? That was all the proof Aiden needed to know that love wasn't real.

So Aiden couldn't love Aru. It was as simple as that.

And if Aiden was being completely honest with himself (something he rarely did, it was easier to hide from your emotions), he was scared. He was so terrified that nausea was constantly rolling in his stomach and his heart had permanently pressed itself against his ribcage.

He was scared of his own emotions. He was scared to be alone with Aru because then everything just might spill out of him and he wouldn't be able to stop until everything was out in the open.

But his heart betrayed him. On her birthday, Aru had caught him alone. She had asked why he was avoiding her. What his problem was. She was angry. She asked if he hated her.

I could never hate you. Aiden had thought. That's the problem. Hate would be so much easier than love.

"Of course not." That was what he said instead.

Aru had gone into a whole rant about how Aiden was ignoring her. And it hurt. It hurt because Aiden knew it was all true, no matter how much he wanted to deny it. It hurt because he felt so guilty to see how much his fear had hurt her. Hurting Aru was the last thing he wanted to do.

And then, the worst yet best part, Aru had said she liked Aiden.

That was when Aiden betrayed himself. His heart was stronger than his head.

He kissed her.

But what about the prophecy? whispered a tiny voice in his mind.

Aiden didn’t care in that moment. But when he pulled away, he forgot about the prophecy. Because Aru's smile was so genuine and dorky and huge that Aiden fell in love with her all over again at that moment.

And then it all shattered.

But that was a different story.

But the thing was that he was caring now.

The point was, all of this is what had been going through Aiden's head the entire morning (and their wedding mission, of course). It had been going through his head since the second his mom woke him up and he brushed his teeth and rushed breakfast. It was the only thing on his mind when he got ready for the wedding his fellow Potatoes were going to crash and when his mom said she was coming with him. And he was agonizing over it right now, lying on his bed, about to walk across the street to Aru's house.

And then it finally hit him what he was supposed to do. He had to let go of Aru. He was going to have to backtrack, and say that kiss was a mistake. And doing that was going to kill him.

But it didn't really matter. He was going to die anyway because of the Girl He Loved.

He was going to die. Because of Aru.

Not because of Aru. Because he didn't love Aru.

Yes he did.

He just couldn't.
