Electric Touch

Full fic on ao3

Eddie’s phone reads 1:56 when he finds the video that starts it all.

He’s scrolling TikTok, because that’s a viable source of income now and somehow people think he’s worth watching.

He’s scrolling and comes across a video of an angel, he thinks. She’s beautiful, ethereal, sun-kissed skin dotted with moles.

Then she stands up, and moves away from the camera, and holy mother of Thor she has thighs.

She could sit on him and he would genuinely thank her.

He hits React before he can think too hard about it. He turns his lamp on, vaguely brushes his fingers through his hair, and hits the record button. “Okay,” he says, eyes wide, “someone find me that Mommy? Sorry, video, because that’s- that’s me, right now. And then also- who is it, from that Disney movie? The really hot dude? I don’t know who you are, nor how I came to find you, but may I just say… hi. How ya doin’?” He shakes his head. “Cause that’s also me, right now, okay, I don’t know who you are but I know you’re an angel, and I’m sorry if you have a boyfriend, or a girlfriend, or whatever, but- listen, I had to let you know, okay? Um. That- that’s it, I guess.” He shrugs, gives the camera a little half-smile, and ends the video.

He posts it, shuts his phone off, and rolls over to go to sleep.

He’s awakened in the morning by a phone call from Jeff. “Dude,” he mutters, squinting at the clock. 9:04. Way too early to be awake. “Where’s the fire?”

“The fire is the fact that you post first and think later,” Jeff tells him, then laughs. “And it might’ve actually worked in your favor this time. You remember the video you posted last night?”

Eddie blinks, thinks, and remembers a blinding smile and moles and thighs. God. Really, what was he supposed to do? He’s only a man. “Uh… yeah?”

“She responded.”

Eddie nearly falls out of bed. “She what?”

Jeff chuckles again. “Uh-huh. You know who she is?”

“An angel?”

Jeff hums. “Try Stevie.”

“Um. Okay? Cute name?”

“Stevie, as in the most recent artist to sell out the Garden.”

Eddie nearly falls out of bed again. “What?”

“She’s a pop star, dude. I’m looking her up right now, ‘cause I don’t know much more than that. She’s won nearly 300 awards, she’s the most decorated artist in Billboard Music Awards history, and somehow, she found your feral rambling endearing.”

“Fuck you, I’m plenty endearing,” he says. Then his brain catches up. “Oh, shit, I’ve gotta- she responded, you said?”

“Mhm.”

“Shit, I’ve gotta answer!”

In his haste to get to TikTok, he accidentally ends the call. He doesn’t realize until he sees a text notification from Jeff: five laughing-crying emojis.

He sends back the middle finger.

He opens TikTok, realizes holy shit that went viral viral, and clicks on the video.

Her comment is on the very top. The hot Disney dude you’re thinking of is Flynn Rider from Tangled. Does that make me Rapunzel?

He flops back down onto his bed with a giggle. She’s flirting back. This is actually happening.

He pulls his phone up again, quickly types out I wouldn’t mind getting tangled in your hair. Hesitates for a second, then presses the send button.

That’s when he sees his notifications. He knows it’s just going to be everybody commenting to and saving that video, but he likes his screen clean, so he taps on the notification bar.

Except- it’s not just people commenting to and saving the video.

He has a DM.

From Stevie.

@madigoround - about a week late but it’s here!

A Guide to Red - The Quintessential Taylor Swift Album

After the release of The Manuscript, the role of Red and Red (Taylor’s Version) in Taylor’s life and discography has been highly discussed. A lot of people have referred to it as her magnum opus and most formative album. I have decided to compile a condensed list of about a dozen key interviews, performances, speeches, posts, and videos from 2011 all the way until 2024 that illustrate the importance of this record for Taylor’s personal life and career. I’m putting the list under a cut because it got pretty long. You don’t have to go through all of these, obviously, but I would suggest at least one per era. The bolded ones are essential in my opinion.

Pre-Red - These interviews hint at Taylor’s emotional state at the time and thus the content that will be explored on the Red album

2011 The New Yorker profile

Taylor Swift reveals new album is all about heartbreak - Extra TV

Bonus: an article going through Taylor’s arm lyrics on the Speak Now World Tour, which she described as mood rings for any particular show

Lover diary entries from the making of Red (credit to @cabincreaking for the scans)

- All Too Well lyrics first draft (February 2011)

- Random bursts of happiness and anxiety during the Speak Now Tour (June 17, 2011)

- Red (September 8, 2011)

- Holy Ground (February 2012)

- Nothing New (March 2, 2012)

- Working with Max Martin (June 10, 2012)

Red era - Listen to the original sixteen songs on the Red album at this point.

Red announcement livestream + Q&A

Red prologue

2012 Rolling Stone interview

2012 The Guardian interview

2012 Billboard interview

2012 Esquire interview

Sirius XM Town Hall - an hourlong interview from the day Red came out

Good Morning America - this is the first mention of the ten-minute version of All Too Well

Red track-by-track descriptions

Random interview where she discusses the connection between writing Speak Now and Red

I Knew You Were Trouble music video

Diary entry about how love is fiction and she might move to New York after all (January 6, 2014)

Diary entry from Grammy night (January 25, 2014)

Red Tour London performance of All Too Well - any performance of this song from 2013-14 will work here, but this one has a pretty comprehensive speech

Final performance of All Too Well on the Red Tour - just listen to the speech here

Post-Red era - Over the course of these interviews, you’ll see her relationship to the album evolve.

Taylor’s description of Clean (skip to 11:18)

2014 BBC Live Lounge interview

1989 World Tour interview where she mentions thinking she’d never sell as many albums as she did with Red before 1989 came out

Clean speech - a lot of these will work, but these two best describe her relationship with the Red era and heartbreak in general

All Too Well (The 1989 World Tour live)

2015 GrammyPro interview

All Too Well Super Saturday Night performance

Reputation Tour All Too Well speech

Red into Daylight performance - 2019 City of Lover concert in Paris

Re-recordings era - at this point, listen to the red vault

2020 Rolling Stone podcast

Red (Taylor’s Version) prologue

2021 Saturday Night Live performance

All Too Well: The Short Film + Behind the Scenes

Seth Meyers interview

2022 Tribeca film talk OR TIFF (both are equally good. I have a slight preference for the former, but there are some interesting new details in the latter). You could also watch directors on directors from the same year as a bonus, but it’s less comprehensive.

2022 Graham Norton - How All Too Well (10 Minute Version) came about + how the re-recordings inspired Midnights

Also listen to Midnights

The Eras Tour

All Too Well speech (Glendale Night 2 & Atlanta Night 1) - any of the speeches from March and April 2023 will work, but these two really illustrate how she feels about this time in her life now and how the fans changed the Red album for her. Obviously credit to @cages-boxes-hunters-foxes for the transcripts!

Maroon first ever live performance (‘This is a song about something that happened a long time ago, but it took place in New York’)

Aaaand finally listen to The Tortured Poets Department, especially The Manuscript

This is a lot, but it’s worth it. Enjoy!

tsukihina x tswift 🌙☀️

[wavesoutbeingtossed]

The Mine/Starlight medley was a brilliant pairing because combined it tells the story of a guarded person who’s been hurt in the past putting her trust and faith in a compassionate, supportive and ambitious partner who steadfastly stands by her and counters her anxiety about the things she can’t control with a love for living in the present and unwaveringly encouraging her to embrace her dreams for the future 🙃

Tsukkiyama is not only "I hate everyone but you" but also "everything surrounding me is pushing me down and making me try try try try again and again but with you I can finally rest and do nothing and you've been there for so long that normality and domesticity would shatter completely if you weren't there"
