C night: This was written while recovering from the magical C night and the morning after, while watching Puttar blow air on Biwi's face for the nth time. It encompasses both their thoughts after their first night together as man and wife. Full of love, gushing and happiness.

Sautan Saga: This was when Adi wanted Ishita to apologise to Shagun, and refused to come back home otherwise. I felt that the situations created could have been used in a much more powerful way, indirectly Ishita & Ruhi's place in Raman's life, to Shagun.
Incomplete / Stalled
Pregnancy: This is before Ishita gets miraculously pregnant, where her reports state that she will not be able to carry a child for the full-term. It talks about how both IshRa's expectations crash, and how they overcome the grief with each other's support.

4. Aye humnava (co-penned with Anu - Anu_IshraDivan) - IshRa Miscarriage: This takes off from after the intense rain scene, after Ishita's miscarriage. IshRa's support for each other, their love, and the beginning of their life from that moment on. It's a sensual, yet heart-rendering piece of fiction. Heart-rendering because of the situation, Sexy because PuttWi wet in rain 😆

Confession: One of the most idiotically placed, unjustified moments of Raman's anger in the show, to which even Ishita does not retaliate properly. When he asks her to leave his house, after the Mihir-Rinky fiasco. My attempt to fix the mess up, logically.
2 parts till now. Raman POV + Ishita POV
Incomplete / Stalled
Post-leap: This is my take on IshRa's first meeting after the leap. It's an unusual style, in first person. Less details, more monologues kind of a presentation. It takes us through what goes in both their minds after they come face to face after 7 long years, during which Ishita was presumed dead.
