Summary
The way Shikhandi lived- fearless, unashamed, and joyful, completely on his own terms and possessing a spark of that righteous anger- was the way Amba died.
And the way Amba lived- struggling against an assailant hell bent on dishonouring her, trying to get to her lover, letting anger cloud her movements, making them clumsy- was the way Shikhandi was dying right now.
This is the story of his life.

That is until an energetic toddler quite literally crashes into his life, bringing along with him his unassuming grandfather Virat, who has the kindest eyes drupad's ever seen and and he feels his old, rusty heart stutter to life again.

Summary
Thirteen years ago, Krishna had taken Dhrishtadyumna and Shikhandi aside and told them in no uncertain terms that they would not be taking out their anger of the Pandavas on their sons. Thirteen years later, Shikhandi takes them aside and looks them in the eye, telling them with pride, and a hint of warning that their boys have changed and grown into men. Nakul knows why his tone holds warning, even if the others may not get it. He gets the message loud and clear.
'They have changed, and you are not to fault them for that.'
So he doesn't.
He just observes.

Summary
It was the night before Krishna left for Dwarka, after the kurukshetra war was over. Arjuna's heart pained and ached and thus, he goes to the only one who can soothe his mind and heart.
Also, what if, the line, "my wives, my kinsmen, my relatives, none are more dearer than Arjun ..." Krishna said it directly to Arjuna instead of his Daruka.
