June 25th, 2009: His death was only the beginning. An entity centuries old offers Michael a choice in the fleeting moments between life and oblivion: disappear forever, or awaken to the life he once knew. One decision changes everything. He must learn to control his new nature as he struggles with the memories of his former life, fleeting moments with a family he can no longer truly be apart of, and trying to remain hidden in the shadows of the harsh spotlight that has always been too bright. 17 years later, centuries of loneliness seem inevitable until a chance encounter changes everything. Michael meets someone who sees beyond the myths, the headlines, and the immortal facade he has carefully constructed. Their growing connection challenges the vows he made to remain hidden, forcing him to choose between protecting the one person who makes him feel alive again and preserving the secrecy that has kept him safe for years.

[SLOW BURN] It is 2006. The trial is over, but Michael Jackson has locked himself in a prison of his own making. He is completely isolated, deeply guarded, and wholly disgusted by the press. He refuses to speak to anyone-until Maeve Carter. Maeve is Europe's most ruthless and respected journalist, and she doesn't care about tabloid garbage. She is flying to New York with one goal: get the interview, secure the massive bonus, and pay for her mother's life-saving cancer treatments. It was supposed to be a simple transaction. But when the doors to the penthouse lock, the King of Pop is nothing like the broken man the media painted. He is sharp, intimidating, and looking for a challenge. And Maeve is the first person in years who isn't afraid to give him one. #1 - kingofpop #1 - moonwalker #1 - mjj #1 - michaeljosephjackson #93 - fanfic
