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 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 -

- 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 -
