- book one of wisteria hearts (six books are published) - two souls don't just find each other by pure, sweet, simple accident. it's serendipity. Taylor Swift, some would say, was one of the biggest celebrities out there. It's funny, given this fact, how someone that has spent their entire life from sixteen, living under a spotlight, can be in an abusive relationship for three years, and no one notices. Not a single person. They don't see the hands that wander her body in the middle of the eternal night or the bruises on her cheeks from a blow that she didn't deserve. Not a single person saw her pain. Until she met Joe Alwyn, on a Wednesday, at a cafe. The whirlwind of memories from the Met Gala, when she'd first laid eyes on him, whilst in the arms of another. Those ocean eyes that had followed her around the dance floor, as he stood to the side. She didn't know that Joe remembered that moment when they'd first met. But he'd been watching - he couldn't stop watching. She was mesmerising. And she'd had that sparkle in her eyes, the first thing he'd noticed about her. But when he saw her in that cafe, that sparkle was nowhere to be seen, and a bruise had taken its place. They didn't know, then, that the Poets had written their love in the stars. - a Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn au - This is set some time after reputation, after the Met Gala. A lot of songs mentioned may not be in the correct order (for example, writing a rough version of cardigan before lover has even been written) but is intentional. - trigger warning for: eating disorders, sexual assault, self harm, abusive relationships -

She's out of the woods for the moment, but things change all the time, and when you're at the centre of a spotlight, people see everything. Even when you try to hide it. Taylor and Joe are closer than ever, they love each other to the moon and to Saturn, and they wouldn't change a thing that happened to them last year.

- book three of wisteria hearts - Flashback five years to the 2016 Met gala. Flashback to the pain, suffering and hurt that Taylor went through. Flashback to Joe's life before he found a reason to stay. Sometimes you can be suffering but no one can see because you've mastered the perfect smile, the perfect answers to their questions. Both Joe and Taylor know how to hide the pain and the sorrow. To hide the darkness in their lives, by only showing light. They know how to do that too well. Sometimes only one person is able to see your pain, but what happens when you've only had a stolen glance across a busy room? What happens when that golden string ties you to someone who you're not ready to love yet? - trigger warning for: eating disorders, sexual assault, self harm, abusive relationships, depression, rape, anxiety -

- book four of wisteria hearts - Both Joe and Taylor have had their fair share of darkness, but within each other, they found daylight. And that is something that they are prepared to fight for, no matter what the cost. Even though their lives are in the spotlight, the two of them have managed to find peace. They've managed to keep their lives relatively quiet since Adam was found guilty. But just because he's gone, doesn't mean he doesn't still haunt Taylor's mind every night. It doesn't mean that she won't wake up screaming from nightmares that he's still with her, that she's still trapped. But she knows, that as long as she's got her family beside her, she'll be okay. She'll always have things that keep her holding onto that daylight, even when she slips. Joe will always be there to keep her steady, no matter what, no matter how dark it gets. - trigger warning for: eating disorders, sexual assault, self-harm, abusive relationship -

- book five of the wisteria hearts series - *this book is dedicated to augustine 💛* Taylor and Joe have had their fair share of drama, and even now, all these long years later... it still seems to follow them around every corner. Thea is thirteen now, and is one of the best figure skaters her age. Luca is eight, he's doing ballet and is finding it hard but rewarding. Nora is the smartest child in her class, and is already excelling in every subject. Elena, although she is only six (and a half) and it's already clear that she's developing her fathers love of acting. Throughout the drama, throughout their happy moments and everything in between, they stay together. Always. To the moon and to saturn, to infinity and forever. Until their names are written by the poets in the stars. - trigger warning for: eating disorders, sexual assault, self-harm, abusive relationship -

fragments from the wisteria hearts series that haven't been written about yet. little snippets of the past, present and future. moments in time that haven't quite been captured in words yet. "and when I was shipwrecked, I thought of you. in the cracks of light, I dreamed of you. it was real enough to get me through." - I strongly suggest reading the other books in my wisteria hearts series before reading this one, as the characters and plot will make more sense.

*** I highly recommend reading the Wisteria heart series by the amazing @fearlesslyfolklore beforehand - as she is the creator of this beautiful world *** This is Lizzie's story. The girl who spent her whole life trapped in ice frozen dreams that weren't hers. The girl who finally stepped into daylight and turned these ice frozen dreams golden. This is Lizzie's story. Told in fragments, with scenes of the past, present, and future. I guess this can be read as a stand alone but I would really recommend reading the Wisteria heart series (especially book 5) for this... TW: child abuse

Taylor Swift just got out of a seven year relationship - it was time to go, she knew it in her bones, but still... her pillows were stained with tears. She'd never imagined herself sleeping alone again, living alone, eating alone or crying alone ever again. Life works in funny ways, and it can take you to places that you never expect. She's surprised when a visit to the hospital to visit a friend leads her down a road she thought wasn't meant for her. A child. An eight-year-old little girl with bruises on her wrists and scratches on her cheeks. An eight-year-old little girl named Eloise, who's never known a warm touch or soup when she's sick, or soft toys. Taylor, in learning how to make herself shimmer after only shining with someone else for seven years, has the privilege to help a little girl sparkle for the first time. A little girl who loves her for who she is, not her relationship status, or the things she keeps hidden away. A little girl who loves her even further than saturn.

|book two in the shimmer series| Taylor Swift finally got full custody of her little bee. Her little girl, her Ellie, her daughter. A fresh start, a new city, a new house, a new life. The two of them packed their bags and headed off to Nashville. Neither of them can comprehend just how badly they were hurt by the events that unfolded a few short weeks ago - Ellie isn't the only one waking up screaming in the middle of the night anymore. Ellie isn't the only one with fears that her world will be torn apart again. Ellie isn't the only one who flinches when there's a knock on the door, or when the phone rings, or at the thought of being away from her Mom, Taylor. Ellie is doing better - in their new place. She is doing so well, and Taylor is so proud of her progress, the smiles and shimmery haze about her. But recovery isn't coming so easily to Taylor, no matter how much she fakes it. Taylor's struggling. She's fighting the monsters under her bed all alone, not even Ellie knows what's she's been battling. Ellie is her daughter now - she knew that... but that didn't stop the nightmares of Ellie being taken away... or worse. Their new lives are haunted by ghosts and paper gardens... but slowly, and then all at once, Taylor begins to find cracks of light in the darkness - light that begins to reflect all of her broken pieces. Just like a mirrorball.
