Summary
They were born premature, of course.
Emily came first, and Gabriel was dragged kicking and screaming along behind her. Even their own mother didn’t want to keep them for any longer than she absolutely had to.

Summary
“No, Gabriel...you have always been a monster.”
“I never asked to be tethered to you...”Gabriel is a monster. That much is true.
He was a born a monster, and he was made a monster. There are no doubts about this.
Rejected both by his own flesh and blood, and from the world as a whole. What a pathetic lot in life. Maybe, just maybe, it would have been different if they could have seen past the monster, and seen the child reaching out instead. Alas, there’s no use ruminating on the past.But who said love had to come from what had created you? And must a monster be forced to be a monster for the rest of their life?
Or, Gabriel gets the help he needs, and find something much, much more precious beyond that.

Summary
This prose is about three goddesses in Hindu mythology that represent the epitome of female power: Parvati, Lakshmi, and Saraswati. Some of them have well-worn tales surrounding their rise to the throne, while others have only mystery shrouding their lives.
Sometimes they walk as humans; sometimes they are just pawns; sometimes they are all-powerful. But perhaps the only thread to twine Hindu mythology is this: all beings in this universe are fallible.
So who were these women, these goddesses? They were more than human, but they were still prone to humanity’s mistakes. They were strong in their own way, courageous when needed. But they were prideful, cruel, petty- a thousand sins among a thousand virtues.
Let us explore these women, then, and their powers. They are so very different, so let us see their world, and their pain. How do they take what was not given, how do they make it their own? Where is the balance struck, between mortal humanity and immortal gods? Parvati is bravery, so let us see her courage. Saraswati is knowledge, so let us see her battles. Lakshmi is beauty, so let us see her strength.

Summary
No summary needed — as the title says, this is the Mahabharata rewritten (main and relevant events, at least), with major canon divergence and rearrangement mostly, and of course, Krishna x Arjun (Krishnarjun is a nice ship name lol).
