Dorothea and Inez, childhood friends turned something more, navigate the complexities of love, ambition, and identity in a world that often pulls them apart. While Dorothea dreams of escaping their suffocating small town, Inez stays, rooted by loyalty to her family despite the challenges.  

Through stolen glances and whispered promises, they explore the invisible string tying them together. But when Dorothea leaves for a big city life, chasing stardom and doubting their relationship, she breaks Inez's heart. Through moments of reunion and separation, they wrestle with who they are, what they want, and what they mean to each other.

Caught between the pull of the past and the uncertainty of the future, Dorothea and Inez must face the ultimate question: can their love endure when the world seems determined to keep them apart?  

Inspired by Taylor Swift's Folklore and Evermore.

DAYLIGHT - A Tayvis-inspired love story by sasi-tv-99

In a billionaire superstar's world, where genuine connections must be untangled from the brightness of spotlights and the shadows of fame, Taylor's heart was guarded stronger than ever, yet brimming with light and kindness, but also quiet sadness -like a summer meadow under a sky full of stars, like midnight rain drenching the earth. Meanwhile, Travis' heart was open and steady - like a quiet ocean of warmth, unshaken by storms, like sunshine reflecting on a clear, blue ocean. It was the kind of love she hadn't dared to trust, until now. Their first connection - a bold, slightly silly gesture involving a friendship bracelet with his phone number woven into the beads - was sweeter than fiction, charming and just a little awkward. Though it never reached her that night, his attempt to get her attention marked the start of something extraordinary, neither of them would have expected. Like ever. Fate's invisible strings pulled them closer, unraveling the barriers between their worlds. Love bloomed softly at first, like the golden rays of dawn peeking through the night, until it shone with the golden promise of something lasting - like daylight -, and suddenly everything had changed. But the road to daylight wasn't without its shadows. Fame, fear, and the weight of two very different worlds stood between them. Yet with every step, love found its way, glowing brighter than they'd ever dreamed. But in a world of spotlighted chaos and hidden fears, will this love be enough to light up their way? ***** WARNING: My stories are cheesy, dramatic, and made out of romance. I love exploring how people get to know each other and fall in love (and this will take a while!), I adore the shipping, the journey to connection, and the way characters interact, including all the nuances of their relationships and the smut - everything about it! If that's not your cup of tea, then "DAYLIGHT" might not be for you.

"All along there was some Invisible string Tying you to me?" Avery Bexley has a pretty casual life compared to other actors in the acting industry. she actually enjoys her job even though sometimes it's exhausting and nerve-racking, but still she loves it the thrill. Never once did she think her life is going to a path and connecting everything just so she can meet someone she would find comfort in. particularly, Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift wasn't having the time of her life in 2016. Her hair was bleached, and she broke things off with her British DJ boyfriend that would rather spend some time in a club rather than with his girlfriend. She was also pretty sure everyone hated her, so how can someone take the time to know her all too well? Why would Avery Bexley do that? »»»»»»»» This is pure fiction and I'm not claiming any celebrities that are mentioned in the story other than my oc! To be clearer, I'm also not assuming anyone's sexuality, especially Taylors! The storyline wouldn't completely follow what actually happened in the real world and mostly be improvised.
