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?

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
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

Can Divit, a reserved but kind-hearted former photographer turned rookie police officer, is the first to find her. Haunted by his own past and uncertain about his future, Can takes it upon himself to help Sanem uncover the truth. But as buried memories begin to surface and emotions deepen, the question remains-will the truth bring healing, or heartbreak?Complete
