(SLOWBURN) She gave up on love long ago. Julia Williams has perfected the art of being invisible-a girl who learned to survive alone, caught between parents who chose their new families over her. Emotionally neglected and yearning for affection she'd never receive, Julia built walls around her heart and accepted a bitter truth: some people simply weren't made to be loved. Music became her escape. Performing in bars and clubs, she poured her pain into songs, never expecting anything more from life than the stage beneath her feet. Until one fatal night changes everything. A tragic accident shatters Julia's world and awakens her in an impossible place-a glamorous birthday celebration on August 29, 1987. She's face to face with the most celebrated artist on the planet: Michael Jackson, the King of Pop himself. With a new name, a new identity, and thirty-eight years erased from existence, Julia is thrust into a world of fame, fortune, and unexpected connections. But as she navigates this glittering past, she discovers something she never thought possible: perhaps her heart wasn't broken beyond repair. Perhaps some people are worth learning to love for. Will Julia be able to rewrite his story?

[Michael Jackson Fanfiction Awards winner 2016.] Bad Era - 1987. Becky Costello is a young adult in college. At this college is a ruthless gang known as The Jax. Breathe on them and you're in their debt - that's how much they mean business. When a new student joins The Jax, Becky finds herself rubbing shoulders with him more than a few times. Despite her best efforts to avoid him, one thing she can't avoid is her strange attraction to his eyes. They always seem to be on her, regardless of where she is and what she's doing. As soon as the new The Jax member is forced into spending more time with Becky, things take a turn in their rocky relationship - which sees them both embark on a lifelong journey of growth, development and life-changing ordeals. Note: this story is very cliché, because I wrote it at age 14/15 when I was new to fanfiction. The first few chapters are edited, however the remaining chapters are in their original form. I have kept it published due to its (unexpected) popularity. Thank you for reading! Highest ranking: #3 in #kingofpop
