These are my versions of what should have happened after ep16. of Erkenci Kus.

An #ErkenciKus #CanEm Marriage of Convenience AU. Formerly called Nothing Personal Neither Can Divit nor Sanem Aydin are looking for love. But both must find a significant other if they are to succeed in their business ventures. A contract for a temporary marriage seems like the ideal solution - they help each other reach their business goals, and move on. Nothing personal, just a professional contract between two consenting adults. Yes, there would be rules. No, there would be no strings attached. What could go wrong, right?

The story was special. The legend was powerful. There were moments or story lines I desperately wished for, and moments that at times seemed small but were so important to discover and delve into. This is a book of these moments that I wanted to explore with you all. I hope you will join me on that journey.

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.)

Ok, on the EK for English Speakers Facebook group, I posted a short snippet in reaction to the end of episode 41 where it ends with Can going into the fire. I'm copying it here and am working on expanding it a bit further beyond just our two star crossed lovers.

This is my version of Erkenci Kus from episode 1 through whenever their story is concluded. I felt each episode needed tweaked a little. They made Sanem weak and vulnerable. She is a strong and witty woman. She may be young and naive, but she isn't stupid.

Can left. Sanem prevails. Their fate brings them together for a chance encounter. 4-part piece.

This is based on Erkenci Kus episode 49 into episode 50. Sanem is still dealing with Can's memory loss and she is beginning to get tired of holding on.

Erkenci Kus has proven to be an epic love story. It is a Lovestory that has a phenomenal worldwide audience that is fiercely loyal. Can is a character associated with an Alabross bird that settles in the Galapagos Islands. He is a world-famous photographer who travels to dangerous locations and a free spirit. He is rich, successful, handsome, aloof and a loner with a highly guarded heart. Sanem is a young, sheltered girl with a photographic memory, a quick wit, a wild spirit with a desire to break out of her traditional way of life. Her greatest desire is to move to the Galapagos and write her love stories. The series has taken us through every trial and obstacle imaginable. The lastest being a terrifying car crash that has left Can without his memory and Sanem alone in the epic love they shared. Now, afraid for her sanity, she is leaving Istanbul behind and going to live her dreams in the Galapagos. Will Can let her go and continue his life free of the memories they shared or does his heart call him into action regardless of what his mind can remember. Will love conquer all, after all?

Can and Sanem are finally getting married. It's time to fix some wrongs, finish unfinished business, fill in the gaps and live the adventure of a lifetime.
