Come Home, K by TheLostAndFoundPile
21 parts Ongoing
Kulthum is going through something. It could be a hormonal shift, another round of her "rebellious teen phase" even though she's now twenty-two, or an identity crisis. Whatever it is, Kulthum has changed. She can feel it, and everyone can see it, but no one can cite a reason for it-including her. When Kulthum comes home from her third unattained university degree, lugging more than suitcases, her parents have had enough. They decide to do what every African parent living in the United Kingdom has once threatened to do. They ship her back home to Nigeria. With a one-way first-class ticket, Kulthum finds herself stranded in the busy city of Lagos, stuck with a family she knows nothing about and surrounded by her culture, which feels completely foreign to her. Her parents hope her year abroad will cause her to have a change of heart...but Kulthum meets a man who might steal it. - - - - First Published September 28th 2024.

Qadr: Married to my husband's brother

14 parts Ongoing

In the heart of Butterfly Valley, Turkey, Halima Nur's world shattered - not once, but again and again. First, she lost her husband. Then, her unborn child. And before she could even grieve, she was accused of an illicit relationship with her late husband's younger brother. Slandered. Shunned. Banished from her village. And then, forced into a marriage she never wanted. Now bound to Emir, a man she despises from the depths of her heart, Halima clings to the only hope she has left: divorce. They both agreed. This was just a formality. A way to end the disgrace. But feelings don't follow logic... and hearts rarely ask for permission. Somewhere between silence and survival, Emir's heart changed. He fell for the woman who had nothing left to give him... except her hate. Will Emir ever win Halima's heart? Can love grow in a marriage born from slander and sorrow? Or will this nikah be just another chapter in Halima's unending tragedy?
