-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."

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!

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

Premeditated Pseudonym
Taylor and Chelsea's marriage were on the rocks. Chelsea had pushed her spouse too far away for comfort and he was getting on her last nerve. Chelsea went to her parent's home during the seperation, but things got weird when Taylor stopped replying to her messages. When Chelsea returned home there was nothing left to call home and worst yet, nothing left to call a marriage. This is the story of a couple, from both points of view, as their journey takes them through places, people and situations they never imagined would occur in their lifetime. * * * Pseudonym (a) A name that differs from the original. (b) Fake identity. * * * "I decided to peep at Taylor's social media one more time to see his last active moments, but it still didn't show. This was one of the longest, he stayed without messaging me or calling. Morning came quicker than expected. I gained some well deserved rest though. The first thing I did, was reach for my phone. Taylor still hadn't called or texted me and it's been two days. I rang his phone again, but it went straight to voicemail. I couldn't take it any more, my mind began to race, thinking he had someone else besides me. I immediately started putting up and tagging him in some hateful statuses. What I didn't say was what I forgot, and trust me, I said a mouthful. Under all of my hateful statuses. His friends just laughed but didn't comment. Suddenly I got a message in my inbox.

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
The Lucky One (2) - Taylor Swift
"Being sober sucks." "I feel like being dead sucks more." Every second that passes by only makes the want for a drink feel greater. With every second that goes by, Grace is reminded that she is not who she used to be, and the new her doesn't drink. The new her also has a job, a new life and a relationship with a dynamic that just rapidly changed overnight. Yet when comparing her current self to her past, she's pretty sure she's the lucky one. - An alternate universe to my story 'Stay' and the subsequent one shots, same characters, completely different life. This is the sequel to 'Camera Flashes'. As with all my stories, this book contains mature themes and sensitive subject matter and is intended for a mature audience. Reader discretion is advised. - This is a work of fiction and I only own original characters and not Taylor Swift, her works or any other living and mentioned people. Persons and or opinions are fictional and not meant to cause harm to anyone living or dead. Do not reproduce or adapt.Complete
