Hello! 😃
Here are some suggestions from my side.
1. Birds of a Feather
It is an ongoing FF but the author (-Archi-) updates it pretty frequently so that shouldn't be a problem. Read it for the character development and superb story arc. Quite well-written as well in terms of language and everything.

2. Phati Sari's stories.
I think she needs no introduction, she is like the walking talking encyclopedia for all things IPKKND. She posts on Wattpad, fanfiction.net, and maybe some other sites but the tumblr site has all her works I think.
3. Expelliarmus's stories
Here stories have quite a magical, mystical feel and give the impression of having entered another world. She has written stories in many different genre so you will surely find something up your alley. Her stories are still on IF (as far as I know). So I'm adding the IF index link. But, her FFs are also there on blogs in case you prefer to read there. (Some of her OS are not there on the blogs I think.)

4. Arhi tales
These are short tales by both Expel and Magpie. They are actually OS but will seem like complete stories. Most of them are very different from serial's storyline and even characterization changes somewhat. I would recommend you to read them when slightly short on time but need a quick boost.
5. Jigs' stories
I haven't read all her works but love the ones that I've read. She has quite some FF and a few OS too. Her stories have grand backdrops but very realistic characters... a combination I completely dig.
6. Saving the best for the last, here are Meera's stories.
Her stories are extremely long and slightly slow-paced but once you get started it's so difficult to give up in the middle. Everytime I'm reading her stories I end up putting in day and nights into reading without a stop till I reach the end. So I would recommend starting them only when you have enough time on hand but one thing's for sure, you won't regret the time you put into reading them, they will definitely leave a mark on your mind.
A Word's worth
It's her shortest that I've read till date. When I say shortest, it's by her standards bcz the rest of the two stories are 3 book series!!
Emerald Isle Tales
Do you like Harry Potter? It is not based on that but deals with fantasy and magic. In the starting, it focuses less on Arshi and may start seeming like they've relegated to background characters. But keep reading, there are 3 books and although their story continues in the backdrop for the first 2 books, the 3rd and longest book is more Arshi based. And eventually, it is an Arshi tale even though the side characters have been developed immensely.
A river runs through it
The first of her stories that I read and it got me hooked completely! There are 3 books but all are completely based on Arshi. It was ongoing and the 3rd book had already started when I chanced upon it and I remember reading the past chapters within a week (with busy college days) and waiting around for new chapters every week. I was pretty sad when it ended. If you like Bollywood and Music (especially old Bollywood songs), there's one more reason for you to read it.
Since we are not allowed to post outside links on IF, I'll send you the blog links in a PM if you want. This is all for now, you can ask for more recommendations when you're done with these 😆. Not that it's gonna happen anytime soon bcz almost all of these are full fledged FFs and you will require quite some time to read.
Happy Reading! 🥳
Love,
Stuti
