Mubashira Jaffar- the charismatic, arrogant, yet emotionally volatile daughter of a business tycoon, finds herself in a quandary when the untimely passing of her father forces her to assume his responsibilities and burdens. What happens when she strikes an unlikely deal in bid to safeguard her business empire and lifestyle? Will her heart play spoilsport in her endeavors to protect her wealth and status? Read on to find out!Note: This is a FAN FICTION on the characters Zaid and Mubashira from the Pakistani show "Mein" starring Wahaj Ali and Ayeza Khan. Since the tonality of the show is quite grim, this story will have some similar mature themes such as murky consent, sexual content and infidelity. So, please refrain from reading in case you are uncomfortable with these themes. This story can also be read as a general fiction in case you're unfamiliar with the characters on the show.…

Three clans gather for a banquet to establish peace,All conflicts between them expected to cease.As the dinner party turns macabre,Who will emerge victorious in this struggle for power?Note: This is a one-shot mystery story inspired by the stills released from the latest Nishat Linen photo shoot, featuring Wahaj and Yumna. Although, the shoot was incredibly romantic and lighthearted, I drew a sort of more sinister, gothic inspiration from it, and that's what translated into this work as well. This story is entirely in verse form, meaning it is essentially a poem, that roughly follows a couplet rhyme scheme. Hopefully, everyone enjoys the new style!…

What happens when a mistake on Meerab's part throws a wrench in her career plans and compels Murtasim and her to confront their feelings for each other? Join Meerab and Murtasim on this journey as destiny binds them together under difficult circumstances! Note: This is a retelling of the story of 'Tere Bin' pretty much from where the show starts, specifically taking into account, the events of Baarishein. You're still welcome to imagine the actual canon events in the show as a sequel to Baarishein because it makes sense either way. This is a finite short story and will contain 12-15 parts.…

Meerab and Murtasim have decided to reunite and give their relationship another chance after being apart for two years. Both of them have undergone their own personal journey in their period of separation.But with so many unresolved issues between the two, will they be able to mend fences and truly accept each other as husband and wife?Read on to find out!Note: This is a canon continuation of 'Tere Bin' after the last episode that aims to give the characters better closure. Although its events overlap with the timeline of my OS story 'Qubool Hai', this story is unrelated to it and can be read as a standalone. This story has a different (less romanticized) interpretation of the events of episode 47 which I believe makes the rest of the (changed) story of 'Tere Bin', a little more believable. The story contains a number of images which are essential to be "read" if you want to enjoy its plot completely. Please zoom in on them in case the font is too small on the photographs.…

Meerab and Murtasim have always harboured an intense dislike for each other ever since they were children. What happens when Meerab's family visits the Khan household to bid farewell to Murtasim as he leaves Pakistan to acquire a foreign education?Will their hatred for each other morph into something else?Note: Haven't we always wondered what Meerab and Murtasim's equation was prior to the events of the show? This three-shot explores just that! It is a prequel story of 'Tere Bin' set about 10 years before the events of the show. I know there's a discrepancy in Meerab's age, but for the purpose of this story I've used 26 as her present age on the show.…

"Meri kya aukaat hai aur us agreement ki kya haisiyat hai, tumhe abhi bataata hoon!" ~*~The doors are shut. Emotions are running high for both Meerab and Murtasim, be it rage, jealousy, contempt or love. The lines between them are blurrier than ever. Will Murtasim commit an unforgivable crime that could ruin his relationship with Meerab forever? ~*~Note: This is a reimagining of what happened "behind closed doors" immediately after the last scene of episode 46. I know that the 'Tere Bin' fandom has gone through a lot in the last few days, and quite frankly, the dark turn the story was supposed to take in episodes 46-47 where a marital rape was to take place upset me a great deal, much like everyone else. Even though the makers have retconned the assault due to audiences' backlash and added voiceovers trying to convey that the consummation was consensual, it is not the least bit convincing. My attempt with this OS is to make sense of the current storyline and hypothesise as to why Meerab and Murtasim feel so much dread and regret (bordering on trauma) in the current scenario, having consummated their relationship consensually (even though we know why they are behaving the way they are according to the original storyline). The narration is close to stream of consciousness form since it serves to give us a better insight into Meerab's thoughts. I know its a sensitive topic for many, and I've tried to make the events in the OS as organic and trigger-free as possible. But of course, I'd still caution extra sensitive readers to tread carefully. Nevertheless, I hope I'm able to do the story and the characters justice!…
