-Hoax is one of my favorite songs on folklore so I dissected it
-Sorry for any bad grammar, that's what happens when I get too exited
-There are two main theories I have seen; the first is it's about Scoot B, and the the second Joe. The first time I heard it I thought Joe but as I made this I began to think it was about Scott.
I thought I should include Aaron Dessner's explanation: "This is a big departure. I think she said to me, "Don't try to give it any other space other than what feels natural to you." If you leave me in a room with a piano, I might play something like this. I take a lot of comfort in this. I think I imagined her playing this and singing it. After writing all these songs, this one felt the most emotional and, in a way, the rawest. It is one of my favorites. There's sadness, but it's a kind of hopeful sadness. It's a recognition that you take on the burden of your partners, your loved ones, and their ups and downs. That's both "peace" and "hoax" to me. That's part of how I feel about those songs because I think that's life. There's a reality, the gravity or an understanding of the human condition."

The Bad Boy is Back (Book 2)
(Book 2) *Contains spoilers below* "I needed more closure than what you gave me." I half lied. "It feels like an open wound someone keeps pouring salt on." His expression remained hard and cold. Almost distant. "I don't know what you want from me, Willow. You coming here isn't closing any wounds, it's just opening up old ones." I let out a sigh and rubbed my hands over my face. "I just needed to see you, okay? It's a relief to know you're even alive right now." I was begging myself not to cry. Noah shifted a little and folded his arms against his chest. "I don't know what you want me to say." "Anything is better than nothing." I said as I took a step closer. "I missed you. A lot." He peeked from under the mess of curls falling over his eyes. "You want me to tell you I missed you too? Is that what you're doing here?" I clenched my jaw shut and curled my fingers into fists at my sides. "I don't want anything from you." Scott isn't gone...yet. But he still refuses to let Noah go without harming anyone Noah cares about. It's been nine months since Scott took Noah under his wing and moved away from California. Willow hasn't seen either of them since the night Noah left with the promise to come back. When Willow finds Noah, she didn't expect what she finds. Noah's completely transformed into something she never thought she would see again. Besides the arrogant, obnoxious attitude, came countless tattoos, a ring through his lip, and a new name. With Scott still lingering and Noah's new found attitude, there's bound to be a little trouble. Way more than Willow bargained for. And maybe, just maybe, Scott isn't the real enemy.Complete
Things to Think About
[Part 1 in the "Contemplative Compositions" series] Here lies the random and slightly organized thoughts of moi. My take on the world is a click away. So, if you want to, CONTINUE!!!! In other words, this is a public journal full of my own and others thoughts. I'll add song lyrics from time to time. Some things may seem personal, other for the whole world to consider. Many topics here are controversial and many will or will not agree with. But that's the point; they are things to think about. (This is "Part 1". This will be finished after I reach 100 parts. After that, I'll start a new "Things to Think About", but it will have a different name. This is not something I want to stop, I just don't want it to get too overwhelming.)Complete
True Friends Book 1
WARNING: If you want something to read that will make you laugh, read on. I wrote this 2 years ago so I'm just letting you know that there will definitely be mistakes and it will be so informal with smileys in the writing and it's just so bad, I can't get through the first chapter without laughing. This was the first book I actually wrote and plotted and I even wrote a sequel that's slightly better but still hilariously written. If you hate grammar mistakes, this book will absolutely annoy you.

I positioned my hands to the left and right of her head against the fridge, thus not giving her a chance to leave, but I know she didn't even want to, she's too curious.

Sunsets and Second chances (a short Tayvis Story)
**Summary:** Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have known each other their entire lives. Travis, Austin's best friend and Taylor's older brother, spent much of his childhood at their house, playing football in their backyard and raiding their fridge without hesitation. But for Taylor, Travis was always just the loud, annoying best friend of her brother-essentially the big brother she never asked for. Between sarcastic jabs and irritated glances, their relationship never progressed beyond mutual tolerance. However, this year, both families decide to rent a house together for a vacation at a picturesque lakeside cabin. The days are filled with barbecues, fishing trips, and afternoons on the water. Trapped under the same roof for two weeks, Taylor and Travis have no choice but to put up with each other. But as the days go by, their dynamic begins to shift. One evening, by the campfire, Travis surprises Taylor by quoting a book she thought he'd never read. Later, she begins to see a vulnerability in him that he hides behind humor and confidence. On the other hand, Travis realizes that Taylor, far from being the annoying little sister he once thought she was, is stronger, smarter, and more charming than he ever imagined. Through kayaking excursions, impromptu water fights, and a ridiculous bet that forces them to spend an entire day helping each other, the two start seeing one another in a new light. But as they grow closer, their family-especially Austin-starts to notice the lingering looks and shared laughter. The vacation then becomes a real test: Taylor and Travis must decide if they're willing to risk their family dynamics and childhood friendship to explore this unexpected connection. **"Sunsets and Second Chances"** is a bittersweet romance, full of childhood memories, unexpected discoveries, and a love blossoming by a lake where anything seems possible.Complete
Plus - Add Music to Emotion
This is a concept I came up with one night when I was driving home and listening to Ed Sheeran's album Plus. I thought about how it would be cool to use one or two lines from a song that he wrote in a letter to a person that I wrote. As soon as I got home, I sat down with my laptop and started writing the first two letters. I picked one line that I liked from each song and wrote a letter based on the emotion of that line, not necessarily on the topic of the whole song. Some of the letters are autobiographical, some are pure fiction. I'm almost done with the album and I'm currently thinking about doing the same thing with Multiply. I really hope you enjoy reading these :)Complete
The Cruelest Summer
To say Summer 2016 was monumental for Taylor would be a massive understatement. She met the love of her life, feuded with pop culture's biggest power couple, ended two highly publicized romances, dismantled her "squad", and dealt with lots of family drama. It's no wonder so many songs in her discography touch upon these themes. This story focuses on Taylor and Joe's love story but has other plot points. I tried to make it as accurate as possible, referencing song lyrics, things Tay/Joe have said in interviews, and known Taylor sightings. Of course, as this is a fanfic, take everything with a grain of salt- I'm just a swiftie head cannoning lol. Most importantly though, happy reading!! Please feel free to give me feedback in the comments, I'd love to hear from you!! <3Complete![Blob and a Curse [discontinued]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/287124165-256-k254760.jpg)

Nothing You've Come To Expect - Alex Turner
Who would have thought, that I'd be here telling the story of this love. Serendipitous. Unespected. A love like a ache in the jaw that made my ordinary life somersault. *Little challenge* find all the songs references 😉 *NOTE: I named my Y/n only way far in the story. I went back and updated with her name in the older chapters. If you see a forgotten "Y/n" that's why! **NEW** Playlist now available! DM me for the Spotify link https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4sr2XpYdtj8C5WoIkdyN9W?si=Gvj14hGxT42zP3-r_l2BNw&utm_source=copy-link ----------------------- The story is set around the Last Shadow Puppets Tour in 2016 and moves towards the Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino era. It mostly follows the real time line, but not completely (ie. concert dates/locations don't always reflect the real ones). Some of the characters are based on real people. Dude, it would be awesome to know them personally but I don't, so their role in this narrative is fictional. While the events are fictious, some elements here and there in the story are inspired by things the characters (mostly Alex and Miles) said/did in interviews or shows.Complete
A Killer Loves Me

For her 18th birthday her friends throw her a party. But little did she know that at that party someone would be killed, and it would change her life forever. Was the killer a random stranger? Or was it someone closer to her heart than they should be?Complete
