Herein, sets out a tale of a first true love. Of what happens when love dazzles- then devours. Where love echoes in salt kissed memories and moments borrowed under the stars. Here, love is golden, all-consuming, and intoxicating- until it turns. Welcome to the beginning... Taylor Elena Harris is on the brink of adulthood, chasing a life promised under Californian skies; sun-drenched memories, and a love worth believing in. Then she meets Matthew James Henderson - the mysterious, smooth-talking heartbreaker with a smile that flirts with the universe, an original heartthrob with a past that raises questions... yet through rare glimpses she sees the true artistry behind the face he paints for the world to see. He's tall, tanned, and carved like a dream, and when he looks at her, it's as if he is sketching her soul. He says he is changing - for her. Taylor wants to surrender to the heat of summer and the thrill of first love, leaving the drama behind. But in Big Bear Lake, where parties are coloured by champagne, the games of our youth, and the setting sun behind the palm trees. The secrets lurk beneath the luxury. As rumours swirl and hidden truths come to light, Taylor must confront the one question she never wanted to ask: Will Matthew become the love that defines her... or the lesson that breaks her? In a summer of secrets and dares, love was the hardest truth to hold...Complete

Call Me Up Again
A Taylor Swift fanfic - Máire never expected a wrong number to change her life forever. At first, she didn't think much of it, but when the unknown caller keeps blowing up her phone and she ends up talking to the charming and mysterious woman that wants to keep her identity a secret, she finds herself drawn to that girl more with each text and late-night call. Neither of them knew that sometimes the most unexpected connections can lead to the most profound relationships. As they continue to grow closer, navigating the challenges of time zones, long-distance communication and their vastly different lives, both of them soon must decide if they're willing to take a leap of faith and uproot everything they've known so far. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction! Most characters and places were created in my head, except for real life people, like celebrities and especially Taylor herself. Their actions and words are completely imaginary. I wrote everything with the utmost respect for Taylor and anyone who makes an appearance and it's intended to entertain and nothing more. We don't assume peoples sexualities here, we just vibe. Timeline won't be a hundred percent accurate to make this story make sense, but major events are still a thing.Complete

Lacey
James Hill is an ordinary 20-something Yalie. While incredibly book smart, he has to work two jobs during the summer and maintain his Internet presence to earn enough money for surviving. Well-known in both online writing and video creation communities, his reputation has been somewhat tainted by various incidents - from his own arrogance to a messy set of affairs involving a pair of rivals named Augusta and Betty. Still, James has been getting by relatively well. Then Lacy comes in. Lacy has a crush on James. She is also everything he hates. She's spirited and eclectic and unfiltered. She wants to make it somewhere in content creation - whether that's in music or writing. And she won't change who she is at heart just to fit in with her publication mutuals. Thus, James seizes this opportunity to sabotage Lacy's prospects. But it won't be all fun and games... (While there are unreliable tabloid rumors about the identity of Olivia Rodrigo's Lacy, my story is not intended to replicate true events - be they those of her or me. My story is also only very loosely inspired by Taylor Swift's Folklore love triangle and the former, so do not expect a lot of similarities).Complete
