The Glass Mosaic

(also abbreviated to TGM) a very popular fanfic on AO3 within the SMZS fandom written by HackedByAwriter.

This fic depicts the main characters of SMZS in an enemies-to-friends-to-lovers, slow-burn, fake-marriage-plot-centred, Royalty/Fantasy Alternate Universe setting inspired by ancient and medieval Indian (and perhaps Middle Eastern) culture. Some would even go as far as to say the world building with its unique take on language, non-cishet conforming societal conventions and general aesthetic is on par with Tolkien's own. Complete with poetry and a dynamic array of characters that span across the LGBTQ+ community, the fic has filled a hole in many in terms of good representation.

Ever since its first update it has generated a fanbase of its own, with readers eagerly awaiting every Friday for a new update. Readers/fans of this fic have a strange affinity for sun/moon imagery, velvet plum curtains, blindfolds, white roses, the numbers three and thirteen, Taylor Swift and Arjit Singh songs.

The number of planned chapters also keeps getting increased from time to time by the author, and honestly the micro-fandom is thriving and are eagerly awaiting for the fic to one day be properly published.

Karman

A pairing between a man who is as short as his temper (Aman Tripathi played by Jitendra Kumar) and a pride-flag-wearing-superhero (Kartik Singh played by Ayushmann Khurrana) from Bollywood's first mainstream gay rom com Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan (SMZS). Fans of this pairing are will cry if you mention Raakh (a song from the movie) at any given moment and generally agree that Hitesh sir (the director of SMZS) is a genius.

Just don't mention deleted scenes (namely the 'aap hi duniya ho scene' and the missing Ganga kiss).

Fans of this pairing also has an unholy affinity for mahogany tables, velvet curtains and belly chains.
Girl 1: Karman is love and life.

Girl 2: Don't you think that's a bit...

Girl 1: hmm you're right...Karman is religion.

(also abbreviated to POLO) a popular fanfic on AO3 within the SMZS fandom written by users enigma3000 and mehan kartik (daydreaming story teller).

This fic depicts the main characters of SMZS in an action packed Spy AU with Kartik Singh being a spy and Aman Tripathi as his husband who is slowly coming to the realisation that his husband may not be as he seems. The fic, already gut-wrenching despite the author's protestations otherwise, takes your typical stereotypical spy romance plot and made it into a absolutely thrilling action/mystery fix with a beautiful blend of humour and angst.

Fans of this fic are particularly fond of bars and Polo candies. Though it is yet unclear why the fic's abbreviation is POLO specifically.

The fic has been hyped up ever since its embryonic stage and when the first update aired, it gained strong positive fanbase who are eagerly awaiting the next instalments of this fic.
Girl: I wish POLO would update.

Boy: POLO?
