IN WHICH.. Before the world knew Elaine Green as music's rising star, she was just the girl growing up beside one of the most famous families in history. Raised around the Jacksons through her father's industry ties, Elaine found an unexpected mentor in Michael Jackson during the height of his Remember the Time era and an unforgettable first love in his nephew, Jaafar Jackson. Their relationship survived fame, pressure, and years spent chasing dreams under the shadow of a legendary name... until tragedy changed everything. After Michael's death pulls them apart, Elaine and Jaafar are forced to face grief, growing up, and the lives they thought they wanted. But years later, one unexpected reunion may give them a second chance...not only at love, but at finding who they truly are beyond the spotlight.

Naomi's life has never been easy. Growing up in a small town with only her grandmother to raise her, she learned to be strong despite the hardships she faced. With no parents and little money, she was often bullied in school by the rich girls who looked down on her - mocking her for being poor, for having no parents, and for daring to dream of something bigger. But no matter how cruel they were, nothing could shake Naomi's love for music or her admiration for the one person who inspired her most - Michael Jackson. When Naomi enters a nationwide competition for a chance to meet Michael in Hollywood, she never expects to win. But fate has other plans. Suddenly, she finds herself face to face with her idol, a man whose music had been her escape through all the pain. Michael is instantly drawn to her talent, her resilience, and the fire in her spirit. He invites her to stay with him and his family in LA to help her pursue her music career, and what starts as an incredible opportunity soon blossoms into a deep and unbreakable friendship. As time passes, their bond grows stronger, turing into something neither of them can deny - love. But their happiness didn't come without obstacles. Michael's jealous and manipulative ex, Liz, comes back into the picture. Obsessed with reclaiming what she lost, she is determined to destroy Naomi and take Michael back for herself. Lies, betrayal, and danger follow as Liz weaves a twisted web of deceit, putting both Michael and Naomi at risk. With their love tested in ways they never imagined, Naomi and Michael must fight not only for each other but for the future they both dream of. Will their love be strong enough to survive the chaos, or will Liz succeed in tearing them apart forever and destroying the one thing Naomi had ever truly wanted - happiness?

IN WHICH, a young intern is assigned to a project that quickly becomes more than just another client !

"It causes your immune system to turn against you," I explained gently. The color terrifyingly drained from his face as he stared at his knuckles. "I have a spot," he whispered, his voice scraping like glass. "Right here." He let out a strangled noise as the stadium footage buffered. "Riley!" he shrieked, covering his burning face while peering through his fingers at his future self. "Those pants leave absolutely nothing to the imagination!" He went so unnaturally still I thought his heart had stopped beating. His charcoal-stained fingers curled into tight fists. "Fifty," he whispered, scanning the fatal summary on the glowing screen. "I am... I am gone at fifty." What if the only way to save your future was to completely abandon your past? In 1982, Michael Jackson is suffocating. Trapped behind his family's compound gates and drowning under industry pressure, the rising star just wants a life of peace and normalcy. The universe answers-violently ripping him from his timeline and dropping him onto the bedroom rug of Riley, a freelance graphic designer in the year 2025. Stranded forty-three years in the future, Michael must face a world that already knows his tragic history. But Riley fiercely refuses to let that history repeat. She offers him the anonymous, ordinary life he always craved, rebuilding his shattered confidence brick by brick and teaching him the radical concept of self-love. More importantly, she arms him with the ultimate weapon: the brutal truth. She gives him the exact names of the snakes hiding in his 1982 backyard, the upcoming betrayals, and the devastating tragedies he is destined to face. When the universe inevitably pulls him back, Michael is no longer the timid pop star terrified of his shadow. He is a king preparing to claim his throne, knowing exactly how to rewrite music history and what it takes to survive. But armed with the future, changing his fate might cost him the one person who taught him how to live.

1979. Every day feels the same for Inaya. She wakes up before the sun rises, spends long hours working as a waitress at a busy restaurant, and struggles to keep up with rent, bills, and the endless pressure of adulthood. Life has become a cycle of responsibility, exhaustion, and sacrifice. While everyone around her seems to be chasing dreams, Inaya is simply trying to survive. Across the city, rising superstar Michael Jackson is living a very different life-but carrying the same weight. Behind the fame, sold-out crowds, and flashing cameras, Michael constantly pushes himself to be perfect. The pressure of success leaves little room for happiness, and he often feels trapped by expectations. When fate unexpectedly brings Michael and Inaya together, they discover something they never expected: someone who truly understands them. As their friendship grows, Michael helps Inaya see that life is more than work, bills, and worries. Inaya, in turn, reminds Michael that he doesn't have to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders. Together, they learn to let go of their fears, embrace joy, and live in the moment. Inspired by Off the Wall (Michael Jackson song) this heartwarming romance is a story about escaping life's pressures, finding happiness in unexpected places, and discovering that sometimes the best way to heal is to dance, laugh, and enjoy the night. Because no matter how difficult life may seem, everything feels a little brighter when you find someone who helps you "live it off the wall".✨🪩💖 (Mj fanfic) #16 Michaeljackson #15 offthewall #23 Kingofpop

1987. The world belongs to Michael Jackson. Sold-Out stadiums. Flashing cameras. Endless screaming and fainting fans. To everyone else, he's larger than life - untouchable, mysterious, magic in human form. But behind the fame.. behind the sequined jackets and gloves.. Michael is lonely. Desperately lonely. Late at night, when the city finally quiets down, he slips away from the spotlight searching for the one things money and fame cannot buy - a real connection, something authentic. Then he meets Rachel. She isn't dazzled by Mr. Jackson. She does not fall at his feet. In fact, she barely knows what to make of him at all. But for the first time in years, Michael feels seen - not as a global pop star icon, but as just Michael. What begins as a chance encounter under the New York City street lights quickly turns into something deeper: stolen nights, dangerous secrets, and a love neither of them ever expected. But falling for the most famous man in the world comes with a price, and the closer Rachel gets to Michael, the more impossible it becomes to separate fantasy from reality. After Midnight is a slow burning, emotional romance about fame, loneliness, freedom, and what happens when two people find each other in the quiet hours when the rest of the world is asleep.
