Can and Sanem Two souls who meet unexpectedly and have a whirlwind romance that will stay with them wherever they go. Fate tore them apart but would it bring them back together forever? The Art of Love follows them as they find each other amidst the millions of souls in the world. A cruel twist of fate separates them but fate again intervenes to right a wrong. They try to find solace alone and then try and find each other. One without the other could never exist. Can and Sanem-a testament to love and forgiveness! Inspired by my love for Erkenci Kus and it's main characters Sanem Aydin and Can Divit and the incredible actors that portrayed them Demet Ozdemir and Can Yaman.

The series has ended. Every week we would come together chat watching the episodes, theorize, and obsess over this amazing love story. After watching Erkenci Kus over and over cutting to the parts I love, hate, and hate to love, I decided I needed to keep this show alive somehow. I decided I would watch one episode a week in full...no skipping...watching the entire episode as if in the old days when this show was a weekly treat. The combination of knowing more Turkish and my knowledge of the rest of the show development has been making this a special experience where I have noticed more about these episodes than the first time seeing it...and the 4th and 5th time and so on. I still love talking and discussing this show with my Ablas and relive the moments together. I watch one episode a week and recap each episode posting on Sundays...I hope you enjoy it

EK AU Sanem has had anything but an easy life. From her difficult upbringing to her dismal marriage. Her surroundings weigh her down and force her to think her fate is sealed. She is alone, not by choice, but by circumstance. Her only friend is the voice in her head. Life didn't turn out the way Can thought it would either. But he has learned to accept it and even prefers his solitude to the point where he is far more comfortable around horses than he is people. Their two paths cross and life is no longer the same. But with how fate has treated them, do they really want to keep their old lives? The road may be rocky, but they find strength and solace in each other. Set in Northern California during the mid 1930s. Tensions escalate as the rift between the upper and lower classes increases. A possible uprising looms on the horizon. *Disclaimer/Trigger Warning* Please read before starting chapter 1. This is an AU story featuring characters from the Turkish TV show, Erkenci Kuş. A show that is a romantic comedy. This story here is not a romantic comedy. For those finding this story from one of the others I've written, fair warning, this one is going to be darker than what I've published so far. I will not be explicit or go into a lot of detail, but this story does include themes like domestic violence and marital rape. These are serious topics that I do not take lightly. I will do my best to always be respectful and ask that all readers do so too in any comments. Chapters will also not have individual warnings marking it as mature. (Before your minds get too carried away, no. Can Divit is not the villain here. So you can relax on that front.)
