Hey guys!! I’m taking a small break from my story ā€œDoveā€ bc I’ll be watching ahead. Plus I’m writing other stories  see you guys soon

I’m excited for when you come back with more updates. I know we’re getting close to the end of Season 2, which means this book will end and then we’ll bet into Season 3. Right now, we’re about midway through Episode 48 of the series, or Episode 24 of Season 2. 
          
          I’m really interested to see how you incorporate Melekisma into things like Gülsha abusing her authority in the harem, Mustafa’s confrontation with Suleiman, how she’ll help Aybige and Bali Bey, Nigar’s ongoing affair with Ibrahim, Mustafa yelling at Hürrem, etc. So many interesting and politically charged events are coming up, so I can’t wait to see what you do. 
          
          I’m super interested to see how Melekisma plays her part when Cihangir gets sick and Suleiman is unconscious. I’m interested to see how she takes control of the situation and likely even the palace. Maybe the guards will help her keep everything under control as they seem to be used to her presence since she’s always on campaign with Suleiman. I just really want to see Melekisma running the palace while her husband is incapacitated so she can show everyone who the boss is. 
          
          Anyway, can’t wait to see what changes or adjustments you’ve made when you start updating again. Keep up the good work!

Okay, random question in terms of long term series goals (I don’t think I’ve asked this before, but sorry if I have): 
          
          Do you have any intention of not having certain princes die in your story? By that I mean, do intend to have Melekisma prevent any of their deaths or at least delay them? 
          
          For example, Mehmet died because of plotting by Mahidevran while Hürrem was missing. I think it was smallpox or poisoning by smallpox or something like that. Meleksima’s spy network could hear about that and she could prevent it from happening, you know? 
          
          I know you said that you intend to stay close to the series, but this is still a fanfiction and Melekisma’s presence has already prevented the death of Nilüfer. 
          
          If you still intend for the characters that died (historically speaking) to die, I’m fine with that. Meleksima’s reactions would probably add so much emotion to the story. 
          
          Sorry again if I already asked you this.

@lostinmarss well technically speaking you have already changed history by introducing Meleksima..😁😁

Meleksima will go through hardships as well. Mustafa and Mehmet will die bc it technically is historically what happened even if it didn’t happen like the series showed and yes Meleksima will be devastated. I plan for her to have a good relationship with all the kids. She will too suffer loss and difficult times but our girl will pull through, trust.

(Part1)
          Are you still going to show Nigar’s suicide attempt, or are we past that? Technically, it happened in Episode 41, but the story is now at the end of Episode 43 and about to enter Episode 44. Did it already happen, just offscreen like with Bali Bey and his wife? 
          
          Besides the confrontation about Leo, I’m excited to see the moment where Hatice needs comfort since Ibrahim is poisoned. In the show Hürrem comforted her, but I think Melekisma will do it instead for your story. She’s closer to Hatice than Hürrem, so I think it makes sense.
          
          I know that Suleiman will call Valide, Gülfem, & Mahidevran into his rooms soon and tell them they have to respect Hürrem. Will that still be about Hürrem or will it switch to Meleksima? If you do change it to her, will you switch out Gülfem for Hürrem? I’m pretty sure Gülfem already respects Melekisma, so she wouldn’t need to be reprimanded.
          
          Of course I’m excited for Aybige’s time in the harem. I’m pretty sure she’s there before Mustafa leaves, so she’ll have been in the harem for 3 years before he comes back I believe. But I do think she’ll be close to Melekisma and not Hürrem, so I don’t see her going out of her way to protect Hürrem when the burning happens. Will Melekisma stay in the harem for the burning, or will you have her on campaign with Suleiman (& I believe Mustafa)?

(Part 2)
            When Mustafa comes back and greets the women of the harem, will he call Melekisma ā€œmotherā€ in front of all of them? I think that’ll be an amazing moment because of what that means emotionally but also politically (it’ll almost be like how Osman saw Kƶsem as a mother).  I also think Melekisma will be proud of Mustafa when he does that ceremony to join the jassinaries. 
            
            Besides that, the Efsun arc is going to be a rollercoaster of emotion and harem intrigue. Hürrem will be recovering from getting burned, Suleiman will faint because he can’t handle Cihangir’s pain, Mahidevran will show her true colors within earshot of Valide & Suleiman, etc. There’s so much coming up, I know the inevitable cliffhangers are going to drive me crazy lol. 
            
            Anyway, sorry that got long. I can’t wait to see what you come up with. I’ll be on the lookout for your next update. Keep up the good work!!
