Merteş Stories

Sometimes, love isn't about choosing the person you love. Sometimes, it's about choosing them even when it costs you everything. Mercan never asked to be the daughter of the enemy. She never asked to become the reason someone else's life fell apart. And she never imagined that loving Ateş would come with a price neither of them was prepared to pay. After the day that nearly ends with Mercan and Eylül plunging off a cliff, everything changes. Ateş is caught between the woman he loves and the sister he would give anything to protect. Eylül carries a wound she believes Mercan caused. And Mercan, wanting to give everyone the space they need, makes the difficult decision to spend some time away. But distance doesn't make love disappear. Because sometimes, the deepest kind of love is the one that asks you to let go. And sometimes, no matter how far apart you are, your heart still knows exactly where home is. Under the same sky, they will find their way back to each other.

A collection of oneshots of the Turkish series, Arafta. Writing down what I belive any mature author should have written.

Although this is my take on Emin and Ilsu's personal relationship, this story is based on real life events surrounding them as they navigate their growing feelings for each other through sudden fame, online-controversies, and a toxic and invasive fandom group. Will their love survive it all?

A little collection of EmSu one shots of the moments that we would all like to see behind the scenes... All fictional, of course. Derived mainly from the behind the scenes footage the lovely Arafta dizi Instagram like to upload here and there. The characters do not reflect Emin and İlsu's real thoughts, feelings or actions in any way, shape or form. Contains some spicy content 🔥

Arafta - a random collection of one-shots written whenever inspiration finds me. ♡ My main focus will always be on my ongoing main story, so I won't be very active here. This book is just for fun, random ideas, and the stories I suddenly feel like writing. Different chapters, different emotions, different universes. You can also suggest tropes, plots, or scenarios you'd love to read - maybe your idea will become the next one-shot here.

Mercan Yıldırım was a strong girl with great grit, determination, and a heart full of love. She fell in love with her childhood best friend, Tahir Aslan. But they were separated during their childhood, and all she had left were his memories. Over the years, those memories turned into love. She desperately searched for him, yearned for him, and waited for him all her life. But when she finally grew up, someone unexpectedly stumbled into her life, claiming her as his, practically taking away the only thing she had ever waited for: the love of her life. Ateş Karahan was as mysterious as his name. And Mercan hated him. She hated his guts, hated him with every part of her being, because she believed that because of him, she could never complete her destiny of being with Tahir. Only if she knew who he actually was... Maybe her search for Tahir could finally come to an end.

I wanted a miracle, but I was breaking the angel God sent me.. Mercan was never supposed to be part of the equation. She was just an innocent soul caught in the crossfire of a brutal, lifelong blood feud. But when Ates Karahan-a man ruled by a towering empire, a short temper, and the dark ghosts of his childhood-decides to exact his ultimate revenge, he wraps Mercan in a gilded cage. He demands her absolute compliance, isolating her from the world until her vibrant spirit snaps, leaving behind only a beautiful, hollow ghost. But true power isn't about caging a miracle; it's about having the courage to break your own armor. When Ates realizes that his obsessive terror has turned him into the very monster he swore to destroy, the tyrant is forced to his knees. To save Mercan's soul, he must face the darkest cellar of his own mind. What follows is not a simple romance, but a raw, hard-fought journey of psychological healing, intense therapy, and the slow-burn redemption of a broken family. Can two fractured souls rebuild a home from the ashes of revenge, or are some scars too deep to ever truly heal? ⚠️ IMPORT WARNINGS MATURE THEMES (PSYCHOLOGICAL): This story is categorized as a Mature Dark Romance / Psychological Drama.

Retelling of the Turkish Show: Arafta Bound By Fate The characters would remain the same, however the plot lines would differ from the show.

TU MERI HAZRAT HAI She thought she had found her forever... Until she found him with the one person she trusted the most. Ayat Rahman thought she knew what love felt like. She had loved Hassan with all her heart, trusted him with all her secrets, and secretly dreamed of making him her husband. But one evening, she walks into his room expecting a conversation about their future-and walks out with a heart shattered by betrayal. Hassan is getting married. Not to Ayat. But to her best friend, Sadika. Broken, humiliated, and unable to understand how the two people she loved could betray her so easily, Ayat walks into the rain without knowing where she is going. That night changes everything. An accident. A broken heart. A new beginning. Months later, Ayat finds herself standing in front of a man she barely knows-Aariz Mirza. A man who never believed in love. A man who agreed to an arranged marriage only for his family. A man who has no idea that the girl standing before him has already stopped believing in love. Their marriage was arranged. Their hearts were not. But what happens when two strangers are forced to share a life... while one is afraid to love again, and the other slowly becomes the reason she wants to? Sometimes Allah closes one door because the person behind it was never meant to stay. And sometimes, the heartbreak you thought would destroy you... becomes the beginning of the love you were always meant to find. "Maybe Hassan was the love I wanted... but Aariz was the love I needed." TU MERI HAZRAT HAI - An arranged marriage romance about betrayal, healing, faith, and a love neither of them expected.

Some wounds bleed. Others become the reason you stop believing in healing. When Mercan was eight years old, she believed every wound could be mended with gentle hands, a colorful bandage, and a little kindness. She never imagined that the boy whose wounded knee she carefully healed, the boy she trusted the most would one day become the man who shattered her heart beyond repair. Ateş loved Mercan since childhood and probably that time he was unaware of what love meant, but it blossomed anyway. She was the first person he searched for when he was hurt, the only place where pain seemed to disappear, and the one constant in a life that often felt anything but safe. As the years passed, his childhood affection grew into a love so consuming that he couldn't imagine a future without her. But love was never part of the plan. Bound by a past neither of them could escape, Ateş walks into Mercan's life carrying a promise of revenge, never expecting that the woman father he's meant to destroy would become the one he cannot bear to lose. She chooses him. She trusts him. She marries him with her whole heart. And when the truth finally comes to light, Mercan is forced to question every smile, every promise, every touch... wondering whether the man she loved was real or merely the cruelest lie ever told. Because sometimes the deepest betrayals don't come from strangers....They come from the people who once felt like home. A story of childhood love, devastating betrayal, impossible choices, and the heartbreaking question that lingers long after the last page... Can love survive the revenge it never deserved?
