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!
