1. shimmer (a taylor swift au)
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.Complete

Taylor and Travis were the golden couple - three years of laughter, love, and an effortless kind of magic that turned into vows and promises they meant to keep. When they welcomed their first child, it should have been the happiest chapter of all. But for Taylor, motherhood wasn't a warm glow. It was a storm cloud she couldn't shake, and no matter how hard she tried, she never truly connected with the baby in her arms. As Travis stepped up, doing everything he could to keep their family from cracking, Taylor drifted further away - from the baby, from him, and from herself. The arguments started.

On the way out of town, Taylor's car crashed - and she never made it to wherever she thought she was going.

The Alchemy
Taylor Swift is one of the biggest pop stars of her generation. She is performing her international tour, the Eras Tour, with a broken heart. She never could have believed that her relationship with Joe Alwyn would end. And now that the goddess of timing has made it right for her and Matty Healy, the man she thought was the love of her life, he doesn't want her anymore. Will she be strong enough to get through this while performing every week in front of 10,000 people for three and a half hours? Will the sky hear her and change the prophecy? This story contains smut and may include trigger warnings (which will be announced at the beginning of each chapter). This is a Taylor Swift fanfiction. I have been inspired by real events in her life and some of her songs, but the story is entirely fictional. English is not my first language, and this is my first fanfic, so please be kind. I would love to hear your comments and advice about the story.Complete
