A Taylor Swift Adoption fanfiction
Claire hasn't seen her father since she was three years old.
After a bitter custody battle, Travis lost her - and for eight long years, he waited. He sent birthday cards, gifts, letters... never knowing that Claire's mother kept them all. When she's suddenly sent to live with him at eleven, he's ready to welcome her with open arms.
But Claire doesn't arrive hopeful. She arrives afraid.
She thinks she's here as punishment. She doesn't trust soft voices, warm meals, or promises that don't come with strings. She's used to surviving - not being loved. And Taylor, Travis's partner, might be one of the most famous women in the world, but to Claire, she's just another adult who will eventually see she's too much.
She once believed love had to be earned. That safety was temporary. That kindness was a trick.
But Travis is steady. Taylor is gentle. And this house doesn't yell.
Maybe... not everything she once believed was true.

Frozen Veins - Healing Scars Within / kth ff.
Y/n and Kim Taehyung live under the oppressive weight of broken families and twisted love. Y/n, hardened by years of abuse from her manipulative stepmother, hides her pain behind a cold, emotionless facade. Taehyung, trapped in a life of cruelty, conceals the torment inflicted by his ruthless adoptive father with a charming smile and perfect composure. Both endure abuse in silence, isolated by their struggles, in a world where love has been weaponized and trust no longer exists. This is a story of hidden scars, resilience, and the desperate longing to escape. In his adoptive father's office, Taehyung had stood vulnerable and exposed, clad only in his underwear. Each crack of the belt against his bare skin had sent waves of excruciating pain coursing through his body. It was a punishment meted out as a chilling warning, a reminder of who held the reins of power in their twisted relationship. By the time his father was finished, Taehyung's back bore the crimson marks of his father's brutality, the wounds still fresh and raw. A tale full of pain and agony. Beware- this story will be one of the most brutal and excruciatingly painful to read. Be careful, it's not like other tales of hardship and resilience. It's a tale of pain, abuse and politics. Rewriting because it was deleted.
