A series of vignettes offering a glimpse into the lives of our favorite family.

A story based on Can Yamans Turkish dizi. Ozgur Atasoy. Rich, handsome, Club/bar owner and DJ lives in an exclusive rooftop penthouse in Istanbul. He's a Player. A lover of beautiful things and he can't resist one night stands with beautiful women. And then he meets sweet, down on her luck Ezgi. A pretty brunette party planner. Newly dumped, by her boyfriend and her boss. She crashes into his life via her cousins apartment that adjoins his, and she clearly needs help. But his kind of help just leads to all sorts of trouble. For both of them.

A love letter to Nazlı and Ferit - spotlight on those favourite scenes, expanding them and imagining some brand new scenes too. Exploring the 'far side' of the full moon: the parts we didn't get to hear or see in the Turkish dizi 'Dolunay'. Each chapter is a stand-alone and aligns to the plot of the show, just adding in more romance/ angst/ cuteness - so skip to your favourite bölüm if you want! Credit for the overall storyline and inspiration goes to the writers, director, and Can Yaman and Özge Gürel.

Snippets of alternate outcomes in the lives and enduring love story of Can Divit and Sanem Aydin. When I started out with this story, I only intended to loosely base the 'short piece' on the events in Bolum (Episodes) 17 & 18 however, I got such positive feedback, I decided to stretch it out a bit. I'm still unsure how far I will stretch it but so far, I'm enjoying writing it and will keep going till I run out of steam. I can't think of any show/movie that I've watched in recent times to which I have reacted as I did when I watched Erkenci Kuş. The characters hooked their claws into me and wouldn't let go. I rooted for Sanem and Can; cried and laughed with them; railed at and cursed their detractors and finally rejoiced over their reunion. However, the ending was so rushed. After all the angst we were put through with their relationship, I felt robbed of an extended happily-ever-after. What we were given was too short. I hope to right that wrong, amongst others, with this story. Though I only watched the show in Jan/Feb 2023, I have since rewatched it countless times. There were certain parts of the plot which wound me up so much so this is me writing what I wished had happened. Enjoy!

Nazli and Ferit used to write to each other but lost contact. What happens when they finally meet in person and all the secrets that unfold?
