Ashiya's PoV:
"I didn't know you could do dishes," I said as I walked into the kitchen. I had gone to Khala's room and found that she wasn't feeling well so I decided to make some soup for her.
"Hmm," was all I heard from the rock who was bending over the sink doing his work. This guy seriously needs some help...I mean how can someone stay in peace without talking to people? "Is that for Mom?" He asked as he saw me I cutting tomatoes into dices.
"Yeah," I replied and looked up. He was still looking at me.
"Don't put garlic in it," he said and I raised an eyebrow. "Mom does not like garlic in her soup," he reasoned and looked away. I just nodded and continued with my work.

It was after lunch when Khala and I were in her room looking at some old photos. She still seemed quite off but I didn't know if I should ask her or not. Even Arhaan seemed quieter than usual today. I hope everything is okay...
"This one was taken when I was in college," Khala said snapping me out of my thoughts. I looked at the picture she was looking at and saw an image of her in red kurti and off white trouser. She had a white dupatta placed on her head and a wide smile on her face. Along with her there were other women of her age too.
"Wow, you were so pretty back then," I exclaimed and she chuckled, "I mean, not that you ain't pretty anymore, MashaAllah, but you know," I winked. "Who's this?" I asked as I saw picture of a little boy who was wearing a tiger's costume. He looked cute and familiar.

"That's Ahan," Khala said smiling and I looked at her surprised, "it was clicked when he was 4."
"Unbelievable! He looks so cu.." I stopped as I realised what I was about to say. Khala laughed at me and spoke.
"Cute? Oh he was the cutest little munchkin back then," she said with so much love in her eyes, "and now he's a handsome young man."
I didn't say anything to that and she noticed it. Before she could ask me anything, I questioned.
"Is that you?" It was a picture with a young couple in it. They were smiling at the camera. The man looked like someone I know...but who? I took a closer look at him and then it struck me - he looked like Ahan!
"That's me and your uncle," Khala spoke softly.
"I'm sorry Khala I didn't..."
"Don't be, Ashu. It's nobody's fault," she said as a lone tear escaped from her left eye, "his memories are still fresh with me though..." she smiled weakly. I placed my hand on hers. She was constantly trying to fight back the tears that threatened to flow down from her eyes. "Your uncle was an amazing man...He was a perfect husband and a perfect father. You know, when Ahan was born, he distributed sweets to everyone in the hospital even though we were not so financially strong at that time. We didn't have much comforts back then, but his love for us was so much that he overlooked his own needs in order to fulfill ours. I still thank Allah (s.w.t.) for giving me a husband like him. I couldn't have asked for better..." By now she was crying softly in my embrace. I held her tight and rubbed her back in order to soothe her pain. I didn't stop her from shedding her tears for that would only make her feel heavier from inside.

"You miss him a lot, don't you?" I asked once she was calm but before she could reply, we heard the banging of the door. We looked up startled to see Ahan, standing near the door, his hand balled in fists and eyes glaring right at me.

8 208A Broken World [Rewrite]
In a world of floating islands of stone in the sky, where rivers flow through the air and defy gravity from one island to another, and ancient ruins can be found containing wonders beyond what can be produced by the lands current inhabitants- a millenia long war rages. In the distant past, beyond recorded history, when the crown of humanity's glory, the city of Uri, had stood whole against the enroaching demon swarms- even as hope seemed lost, a band of heroes, against all odds, managed to steal powerful magical knowledge from the demons. With the demon's forbidden knowledge, in the heart of Uri a new ritual was made. Called, "The Millenial Summoning," the ritual had the power to call a being from another world that would have the power to change the world forever. The first being summoned became known as "The Speaker," and he brought the power of the Gods to the world. With the blessings and power of the new priests, the unstoppable demon hordes were finally halted. A thousand years later, the ritual was used again and "The First Sorceress" was brought to the world. She brought the knowledge of advanced magics, and techniques to find and refine magical talent. With the magic power now added to the battlefield, the stalemate was broken. And for the first time, the demons were pushed back. Another thousand years later, and all of humanites hope for a final victory were dashed. Traitors slew the ritual's participants and took their places, and humanity quaked as The Demon King stepped into the world. His name, his nature, where he came from none of these are known, but what is known is his overwhelming power and his brilliant strategic leadership of the formerly formless hordes. Still, despite their position being even more dire than it has ever been since history has been recorded, humanity held on for another thousand years. Aided, thankfully, by The Demon King not taking the field after the first few years and battles. Now, the ritual is being cast again and a new hero is being summoned. In our world, after nearly three decades of study and hard work, Lucas Jaeger is making his dreams come true. With a double doctorate in both genetics and microbiology, as well as an associates degree in accounting, he has finally, after nearly driving himself mad from stress and sick from overwork, been able to put to together a presentation and ask for a business loan. His long time dream, earned by his own blood and sweat, to start his own commercial genetic company is finally coming to fruition. Lucas's car never left the banks parking lot and Lucas was never seen again in our world. This is a rewrite of "A Broken World." It is basically the same story, just a thousand times better and with decent length chapters!
8 189The Tragedy of the Hanged King

This is my first work of fiction, so expect things like grammar errors and inconsistent chapter lengths Set in a 1700s version of a 'Fallen London'-esque America with magic, expect steampunk, and wild west elements with a focus on world building and dark ambiance
8 144Sick - An Irondad Story
"I looked over at my usually gallant father, who had dried tears streaking his face. I felt awful, not because I was in pain, but because I made my father heartbroken. I never wanted him to feel this pain." Or, Peter's battle with a terminal illness that will destroy so much more than himself. This was a school project, so I had to cut some real MCU things out, but other then that the names stay the same. 06/20/2022 AN: Hey guys. This story is five years old at this point. That's pretty crazy. While I have moved on to other fandoms in that time, it's great to see people interacting with this. I'm not sure how well it holds up, especially with Creep by Radiohead being in it (idk what I was thinking lmfaoo), but I'm glad to see that some people still enjoy it. Have a good one. :)
