Folklore Stories

Born with a damaged heart, Leanna Weston has lived a sheltered life with little chance at adventure. When she hears that Finvarra's Circus is coming to her small town, she sneaks off to witness the magic first hand, sure that this is her only chance at experiencing true magic-even if the frightening rumors about the heartless Ringmaster, Finvarra, are true. Caught by Finvarra, Leanna is given one chance at survival: she must join the circus. As slowly she becomes part of the strange family, Leanna learns that there is more than magic to this circus, but an ancient curse that has tied Finvarra's life to its rings. If the circus fails, he dies. Leanna vows to save the circus, but when a ruthless enemy emerges, set on destroying it and Finvarra, will Leanna be able to save them both, or will her broken heart fail her just when she needs it most?

since we're starting a new era tonight with Taylor, I figured I'd start a new book of imagines for her, as I'm ready for a fresh start ❤️‍🔥 I know I ended book six a little early, please forgive me for my habit of ending books early to start anew these days. 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 ♡

She fell in love when she least expected it and got pregnant even faster. Still healing from a devastating loss, she makes a choice rooted in fear and love: she keeps her baby a secret. With Travis by her side, she builds a quiet, private life where their child is safe from everything that could hurt them. For a while, it works. But love wasn't meant to be hidden. And as the years pass, the life they've built begins to crack because while she's trying to protect their child from the world, he's trying to give them one.

Taylor never meant to fall for anyone in 2023. Not when she was raising a two-year-old entirely on her own, building a tour that swallowed continents, and trying to stitch her heart back together between soundchecks. Evie was her whole world - clingy, chaotic, brilliant, and hers in every possible way. Her father drifted out long before Evie learned to say "mama," and Taylor learned to stand on her own two feet because there was no one else to do it. Every stop on the first leg of the Eras Tour was a blur of glitter, exhaustion, and toddler snacks crushed into carpet. Days were for rehearsals; nights were for rocking Evie to sleep in hotel rooms lit only by the glow of the city outside. Kansas City was supposed to be just another stop. Another show. Another sleepless night. Then one night turned into fate. It wasn't planned. It wasn't logical. It definitely wasn't in her carefully guarded rulebook. But one chance encounter in Kansas City sparked something she hadn't felt in years - something warm, something steady, something that made her remember she wasn't just a mom and a performer... she was a woman who could still feel butterflies. He wasn't supposed to matter, but he made Evie laugh like they'd known each other for years. And when her daughter looked at him like he was the sun finally coming out, Taylor felt her walls shift. Now she's caught between the roar of stadium crowds and the quiet possibility of a future she never dared to imagine. Because some nights you perform. And some nights... you fall. Kansas City was just a tour stop. Until it wasn't.

"I love you, it's ruining my life." For thirteen-year-old Aurora, life is a repetitive cycle of flickering fluorescent lights, the smell of floor wax, and the crushing silence of the Lavender Orphanage. As a shy, invisible orphan in the heart of London, her only escape is the music of Taylor Swift. When the Eras Tour hits Wembley Stadium in August 2024, Aurora knows the Smiths will never buy her a ticket. They call it a fantasy; she calls it a mission. With nothing to lose and a heart full of desperation, Aurora crafts a plan to sneak into the final night of the tour. But when a post-concert security chase leads to a literal collision with the woman who saved her life through a pair of headphones, Aurora's world shifts on its axis. A story of fate, healing, and the realization that sometimes, your idols don't just see you-they choose you. [Taylor Swift Adoption Story]

Title says it all

"One night was all it was supposed to be. A distraction. A way to feel alive again. I didn't expect the consequence to last a lifetime." It's 2025, and Taylor Swift is at her breaking point. The Eras Tour is over, the lights have dimmed, and she's spent weeks bed-rotting in her New York penthouse-single, miserable, and drowning in the silence of her own success. When best friends Selena Gomez and Sabrina Carpenter finally drag her out of her dark room and into the glittering chaos of a high-profile Manhattan party, Taylor has one goal: get through the night without a mental breakdown. She didn't plan on meeting him. Travis Kelce is loud, confident, and exactly the kind of distraction Taylor doesn't think she wants. When he approaches her, she's cold. She's uninterested. She's Taylor fucking Swift, and she's had enough of men. But Travis isn't like the others. He's persistent, he's supportive, and he's got a fire that matches her own. Fueled by tequila and a desperate need to feel something, Taylor makes a move that will change everything. One frantic, unprotected night in a luxury hotel suite was supposed to be a secret she'd leave behind in the morning light. But as Taylor flees the hotel at dawn, she has no idea that the one-night thing didn't stay in the room. Now, the world's biggest star is facing her biggest secret yet: She's pregnant.

**UPDATES TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS** When ten-year-old Kensington Brooks is thrown from a ship during a violent storm, she expects to die beneath the waves. Instead, she wakes on the shores of Neverland. But this is not the story her mother once read to her. The island is wild. Hungry. Ancient. The forests breathe at night, the trees whisper warnings in the dark, and every creature seems to survive by tearing something else apart. Peter Pan rules from the shadows like a beautiful, feral ghost, and the Lost Boys are no longer boys anyone should want to find. Alone and desperate to survive, Kensy is drawn into the hidden corners of the island by those who have learned to live beyond Peter's reach: Tinkerbell, sharp-tongued and dangerous; Thrash, a merciless mermaid with blood in her teeth; and Olea, a quiet native girl who knows the jungle better than anyone alive. High in the trees, inside a tiny house of sticks and woven branches, Kensy begins to carve out a fragile home among a band of rebel girls who refuse to kneel to the island's cruel rules. But Neverland does not allow children to grow safely. And something old is waking beneath the roots of the forest. Kensy must put her trust in the most fearsome creature on the island. The Bird is even more terrifying than the monster lurking in the skies, and she has no choice. Because in this Neverland, happy endings are the first thing to die.
