Absolutely beautiful👏
You are a very gifted writer. I love the pace of this story, it's smooth and slow without dragging. Reading it is like drinking vintage scotch, you have to wait and savor each sip, feel it sliding down your throat before reaching for the glass again.
I thought the online friendship was a goldmine that the CVs were too stupid to truly explore, so I'm glad to see that became the foundation of MehRya's relationship and your story. I was delighted to read their relationship's gradual transformation from hatred to grudging respect to care and ultimately love. Even when Shaurya didn't know that Mehek was his MS, he felt drawn to her. He recognized her on some instinctual level that allowed him to accept her as MS pretty easily once he discovered the truth. The title of this story is perfect. It is magic but not the ephemeral, struck-by-lightning-as-soon-as-they-saw-each-other kind. It is the kind of magic that one has to invest time and energy in discovering because once you find it, it stays.
I would also like to commend you for pulling off the role reversal between the two with so much panache. Your Shaurya is calm and steady while Mehek is impulsive and headstrong which is quite opposite to their onscreen personas yet you've kept their core values intact making it easy to recognize the pair from TV in your story. I really like Malik here. I know he was the third wheel for a while but i liked him even then. He's a thorough gentleman and the kind of man I was hoping the CVs would be mature enough to show opposite Mehek post leap.
Kudos to you for dealing with the antagonists brilliantly. They came, they created the misunderstanding, then they left. The story remained about the protagonists and how they deal with the fallout of the villains' actions👏
Mehek and Shaurya are two adults here in an adult relationship and you prove that a story doesn't need constant meaningless drama to be entertaining.
This is a story I will be reading over and over again many times⭐️
