But it felt needed this time around. Thank you all for the support and love you've shown and continue to show me and my stories! My seven year anniversary here on wattpad is just around the corner and I'm excited to embark on book seven of Taylor imagines with all of you! Requests are still open as always but the same rules apply: no smuts or personal imagines. I hope you all enjoy! Started: 10-2-25 Completed: highest rankings: ♡ #3 in taylorimagines ♡

    Some stories are written in ink. Others are written in music. In the magical Library Between Eras, where every song ever imagined lives on a shelf and every story waits to be discovered, two souls couldn't be more different. Speak Now is bold, hopeful, and impossible to ignore-a dreamer who believes every heart deserves a grand confession. folklore is quiet, thoughtful, and happiest among old books and rain-soaked forests, finding meaning in the smallest moments. A chance meeting over a fallen book sparks an unlikely friendship that slowly grows into something neither of them expected. Through changing seasons, handwritten letters, candlelit nights, dances beneath the stars, and difficult misunderstandings, they learn that love isn't always loud. Sometimes it's found in shared silence, gentle touches, and choosing each other every single day. But when the magic that binds the Library Between Eras begins to fade, they'll have to decide whether love is enough to rewrite their own story-and save every story that came before it. A heartfelt slow-burn romance filled with warmth, wonder, found family, and unforgettable moments, Written in Violet & Evergreen is a tale about discovering that the greatest love stories aren't always the ones that begin with fireworks... sometimes they begin with a single page turned.

    A wealthy middle schooler with a talent for dramatic entrances, designer tantrums, and impossible confidence, Cheyenne Ting Zhen Zhen's ordinary life takes a bizarre turn when she steps aboard a mysterious train and finds herself transported into a hidden world beyond human imagination. Oh Yong Hwa, the awkward four-eyed transfer student, is hiding a secret far bigger than anyone expects. Behind his shy smile and braces is a famous K-pop idol living under disguise. Zhang Wen Yan, her new bodyguard, is loyal, capable, and far too comfortable calling her "princess." For a girl who believes she deserves royal treatment, those two words are enough to make him her favorite. But the strangest person she meets is Alviss Lucero Reyes, the sarcastic yāo guài teacher assigned to teach her demon abilities. Unfortunately, his lessons come with a problem: every answer he gives somehow transforms into three more questions. And despite calling himself a composer, his terrible violin skills only make her question whether he is really a mentor at all. 🍀 Romance, horror, mystery, and mayhem-all wrapped in one ghost train ride from 13th Hour Realm.

    Everyone has a destiny. Everyone, including Riva Wrydon. Riva thought she was just an average girl from the small village of Ravenscreg. Her life was the same pretty much every day, church on Sundays, school every day of the week, hanging out with her best friend, Elowen and her sister, Vesper. She thought her life was just ordinary. That is, until the God of Death visited her in her sleep and told her that she was to meet up in a library with a God, and that they must work together. With that cryptic clue to her destiny, Riva took her best lifelong friend, Elowen, and ran headfirst into the storm. The problem with running headfirst into a storm is that you can't see where you're going, and when she begins to realise she's in over her head, it's too late. Suddenly, she's thrust into a world she never could've imagined would exist. Armed with a talking pigeon and a guinea pig on a leash, when she meets the God Atlas, she finds out that she plays a much bigger role in all of this, and that her lifelong friend might not be who he says he is. Just where does she come in, and why is she only now finding out about it?
