I had to immediately rec and sub because of several reasons:
1. Taylor Swift.
2. Taylor Swift femmeslash.
3. This layout is gorgeous.
4. Your writing is flawless.
I am honest to god so excited to see where this goes, because there is nothing I love more than girl on girl love in fanfics surrounding people that I idolize. I'm sorry if that sentence didn't make sense, I'm really tired. But consider me a fan of this!
I want to first say that the layout you have has made reading the story a lot more enjoyable - the coloring and font in and of itself sets the tone for this story.
I really love the quote you've included in the summary, as well. I remember reading that interview and to see it inspire someone to write a story is really impressive. I've never thought of taking interviews and somehow incorporating them into the inspiration of my stories. Clever.
I love the way that you've created this world, specifically the characters you've created. I read about Riley and I want more, because you've made a character that is relatable. This inner conflict about her sexuality and her relationship with Justin is something that readers can relate to. And you've painted Riley in such a way that her flaws are slowly coming to light, but they aren't overwhelming and self deprecating.
Justin is someone who is clearly problematic, and you've painted him in such a way that it would be hard to even want to like him. He seems to be cocky, and a little bit entitled. A supporting boyfriend would not be jealous over his girlfriend's friendships.
I also love how detailed you've made the relationship between Taylor and Riley; you've created a friendship that is believable, and the small details of their little quirks adds more dimension to their friendship.
The thing I love most about this story is that the forbidden gay relationship is a concept that is both so cliche and underrated at the same time. There are so few fanfiction femmeslashes with celebrities that I know and love, and to see one with Taylor Swift is in and of itself a dream for me.
Your writing style is amazing, and I feel so immersed within this story. When I got a notification that it was updated, I was so excited. I can't wait to see where you go with this, what the plot is going to look like, and how you're going to continue to grow your original characters. Long story short, I am obsessed!!
