A New Dawn

Introduction

If you don't feeling like reading this long ass intro then feel free to skip to the character introductions. The most important things are that this starts during Spring 2025 so the Eras Tour ended a few months ago, none of the original 6 died during Endgame, and this takes place in LA. Everything else you can figure out with context clues!

...

I love Taylor Swift and I love all things Marvel so I decided to combine my two favorite things! I've never written anything before so please give me feedback. You don't even have to be nice about it, just make it construction criticism 💀.

I should probably explain the setting and everything as well so yall can have a clear understanding of what's going on. This starts in the spring of 2025 like mid-April and takes place in LA. There might be small time jumps or a change in location but I'll make sure to keep y'all in the loop if that happens.

To explain a bit of the headspace Taylor is in, she's in a slump after having the time of her life on tour, being named 2023 Times person of the year, winning aoty at the Grammys for the 4th time, and releasing all the re-recordings. She's experiencing writer's block so she's extremely bored and jumps on the opportunity to join the Avengers cast in their new movie 'Avengers: A New Dawn'.

I'm not gonna go into much detail about how all of the Avengers are still alive, so just accept that they are 😁. All you have to know is that Vision died during Infinity War and half the population disappeared like normal but everyone came back and no one important died in Endgame. Doctor Strange MOM did happen. I might explain more as the story progresses, but it isn't important to the plot of this story.

I'll explain a little bit about the relationships between the main characters. Scarlett and Lizzie are best friends. Taylor is one of the faces of the Outset and is good friends with Scarlett. Gracie is like a little sister to Taylor so she's around all of the time and often stays over Taylor's house because they both get lonely often. Ashley is an original character of mine who I'm vicariously living through so hopefully y'all like her bc she's here to stay 😌. I'm either gonna have Gracie and Ashley be best friends or date, but I'm not sure yet so if you have a preference let me know.

...

To be serious for a second, I am not assuming anyone's sexuality. This is a fanFICTION. It is based on real life, but I am aware that the majority of people who are characters in this fic have not and probably will not address their sexuality. I don't think anyone has to 'come out' necessarily, but since nothing is confirmed, this is all fiction.

I will not tolerate ANY hate towards other readers. It should go without saying that this is a safe space for everyone. I love commenting on other fics so don't let this stop you from doing that here. I won't stop you from commenting badly about characters or a character's behavior, I honestly welcome that bc I will probably make you dislike characters on purpose for my own entertainment 🫣

I'm not sure how often updates are going to be, but I am gonna try to do at least one chapter a week. I'm studying abroad next semester, so I have an extra long winter break and hopefully I will have time to get the majority of the fic written before I leave. I get sad and disappointed whenever a fic I love gets abandoned so no matter what I will give y'all an ending. I also love it when the authors of the fics I read have playlists and songs for each chapter so I'm gonna try and be consistent with that as well! This story will have some angst but majority of it will be fluff, and if I'm feeling frisky I might through a bit of smut in there 😏. Since I plan for this to be majority fluff, I am not expecting to have to give many trigger warnings. If I do, they will be announced at the start of the chapter and have a labeled start and end within the chapter. (Also if you're reading this and want me to give a warning for something specific that I might not think/know needs a trigger warning, please please please let me know.)
