    Summary

    To the world, they've become strangers a long time ago - two lives moving parallel, untouched, unmentioned. Two names never said in the same breath anymore.
    But for eleven years, Taylor and Karlie have loved each other in the quiet, between the noise. In the breath between flashbulbs. In every version of the truth they're not allowed to speak.

    They hold it together with half-smiles, with practiced distance, with names that don't belong to them. Until the fault lines give way - too much pretending, too much pressure, and then, everything snaps.

    It isn't quiet, not really. It's cruel. Words meant to hurt, a choice made too late, silence that follows like a storm.

    They walk away...or try to. But forgetting doesn't come and grief settles where memory won't go, and still, something in them waits.
    Then news come - the kind that changes the air in a room.

    They don't know what they're returning to, only that they do.

    With time folding in on itself and nothing left between them but what never healed, they reach across the distance, not to reclaim what was lost, but to be there while it fades...

    Summary

    This is a republishing of 2020's A Million Little Times. The first 5 chapters are republished, anything after that is new. If you're new here, welcome to the Swiftgron rabbit hole! If you're returning, welcome back!

    This story begins in 2019, after Taylor's SNL performance in which Dianna attended. They have some rekindling to do.

    A note about how I'm writing this: This story follows along chronologically the movements both Dianna and Taylor make from SNL in 2019 through current time. When I write they're in London, they both were really there, etc. I use their social media and public sightings throughout the story to help paint the picture of how these two reunited. COVID will play a huge roll in this story. All of this will help explain why Folklore-Midnights, and vault tracks off the re-recorded albums are about Dianna, her failing relationship with Joe, and the place Taylor finds herself to be in emotionally through it all. I'm always open to questions and comments!

    Also, Karlie will be mentioned but this is not a Kaylor fic. I won't disregard or disrespect their relationship, but will likely put a negative spin on it since the story is from Taylor's POV. It ended poorly, and that should be respected.
