Palka Fyifhers knows she couldn't possibly make a difference in the world, let alone her own family. When her mother falls sick, she travels on her moody horse to the capital of district three, Chrilst, to gain money working for the king's stables. While she's there she meets unique people, creatures, and everything in between.
When she's barely settled in, word comes that a war is threatening to terrorize the six districts of Sari, and no one knows why. Several sides are fighting to have their way, and the friends she thought she had start turning on each other. Everyone seems to have a valid and understandable point, but it's impossible to stay neutral when everything around you seems to be resulting in violence over opinions that aren't worth the consequences.
Palka knows she's in a position that could help avoid war, but, as always, she doubts herself. Not only she, but others as well doubt her. You can't make a difference without trying; will Palka try to make a difference in her world?

When young noble Talia Surifarah sneaks beyond the safety of her station, she witnesses a living legend: the Diviner, a blind arena champion whose mastery of earth and combat defies all reason.

Attacked in Tan'thalon's rain-soaked alleys and pushed to the brink, she is saved by the Diviner herself-an elementalist whose discipline and instinct eclipse everything Talia has been taught. Bound by duty, shadowed by a controlling guardian, and driven by a world on the edge of ruin, Talia must choose who she will become. A sheltered paladin of noble blood... or something more. The sands are moving. Legends walk unseen. And the first step toward destiny is learning how to stand.

Stronger
I really loved EK up to episode 19, after that, they made Sanem act too childish, awkward and unworthy of being a strong and intelligent woman. From then on, and especially the scene at the hut where Can lost it, I almost felt insulted that a young woman could be portrayed in such a weak and stupid way; and that she would blame herself after a man would treat her with so much violence and disrespect. I am slowly learning to like the character of Can again but mostly felt the need to write my ''dream'' version of EK after Sanem tells Can ''you have decided to leave, good bye''. I like happy ending don't worry, but Can won't have it easy!!! I own no rights over characters, and I am not a frequent writer apart from uni and work assignments/reports😊 oh and I am not a native English speaker. Yigit is not Polen's brother in this story, because it was utterly RIDICULOUS!!!! LolComplete

CAN DIVIT CHRONICLES
It's been so, so long since I've even thought about writing fanfiction but I've recently been inspired by the amazing Erkensci Kus, the Turkish romcom. Some of my writing will remain canon, others will depart from the canon episodes and I'll add my own, mostly from Can's perspective. Please bear with me as I get acclimated to writing again and please comment, leave suggestions for how I can improve!Complete
Erkenci Kuş: Broken Promises
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!Complete
EK:...Love at first sight, they just didn't know it
Can Divit is a turkish internationally famous actor, who comes back to Istanbul after 6 months in USA. Tired of years of parties, women and that kind of wild lifestyle, he just wants to settle down for a while, but...what does that "settle down" really mean to him and what if he meets the love of his life..? Sanem Aydin is an autonomous beautiful young woman with her own perfume and cream business, who lives a quiet bohemian life, loves to dance and who only wishes to find her prince, the love of her life, one day soon...but will she find the right kind of prince, the kind she can trust her heart to..? ***Adult contents (NOT PORN) = pure lovemaking (yes, which means some hot, romantic sex with very much love included ;)*** ************************************************************** To me, Erkenci Kuş is the most mesmerizing story I've ever seen on screen, I adore Canem and always will. After watching it a hundred times with spanish and english subtitles and after reading so many fantastic fanfiction stories here on Wattpad, I wanted to give my own story a try. Mostly is about to try to understand how deep their feelings got for each other in a very short time, how bad jealousy can be, how it can hurt and how it can make a person act. I am quite romantic, so a happy ending is a must! And some sex as well, (as sex was not needed in EK but would have been appreciated, for sure) at least I will give it a try. =) My story is definitely not so conservative as EK, characters are not being so traditional, it's about a more modern lifestyle. My first fanfiction, so please, have that in mind! I am not english, but will do my best to use a correct english. Any comments, advises or whatever will be appreciated♡♥ No rights reserved of the pictures or characters from EK, only the editing of my fan fiction.Complete
You Are Mine
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.)
