[Completed] [18+] It's summer, 1979 when Michael Jackson turns 21, releases "Off the Wall," and meets his first love. ~*~*~ Nicole: You're in hotels a lot, huh? Michael: Yes. Most would pause to wonder how often is "a lot," but Michael didn't. He answered very matter-of-factly. Nicole could relate to the feeling of loneliness, being the only child of two hard-working parents. She watched his hands continue to play on the table, now reaching for the dish of sugar packets. He pulled out two, tipping them together like a tippee. Then mirrored the motion with two more. Nicole: You seem like a lonely person... I am too. She wasn't sure what propelled the words. Instantly Nicole felt the urge to apologize. Still pinching the sugar, Michael's eyes drifted up to hers, meeting for a second before looking away again. There was something about this stranger, maybe the softness in his bashful smile, that Nicole felt like she could trust. And if not, oh well, she'd never see him again anyway. Michael: Then we should be friends. We can be lonely together. ~*~*~ 🌻 This is a love story with a slow build. I promise, it's worth the wait! ⭐ Winner of the 2022 Michael Jackson FanFiction Awards for "Best Off the Wall Era FanFic" Highest Ranking: #5 in michaeljackson; #1 in michaeljacksonfanfiction; #1 in kingofpop, #1 in icon, #9 in fandom 🎤Inspired by true events in the life of Michael Jackson... but largely fictional.

[post otw to mature era] When global music icon Michael Jackson crosses paths with acclaimed movie star Vivienne Devereux at an afterparty, neither expects the encounter to change their lives.

As their careers pull them across continents and into the spotlight, a friendship begins to grow through quiet conversations, shared dreams, and moments away from the cameras. What starts as mutual admiration slowly deepens into something neither can ignore. Together, they navigate public scrutiny, personal insecurities, and the challenges of living in the public eye, learning to trust each other along the way. In a world that constantly demands pieces of them, Michael and Vivienne find comfort, understanding, and eventually love in the one place they least expected: each other. ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ #79 Michael - 6/3/26 #38 jackson - 6/6/26 #14 1990s - 6/9/26 #14 1980s - 6/12/26 #9 mjj - 6/15/26 #2 mj - 7/8/26

Thalia Rahman preferred history to people. Working quietly in the archives beneath a London museum was predictable, organised, and safe-exactly how she liked her life. Then one night she finds a man in the restricted storage room. A man who looks exactly like Michael Jackson. Not an impersonator. Not a conspiracy theorist. The real Michael Jackson. Alive, terrified, and with almost no memory of what happened after 2009. At first, Thalia is convinced she's losing her mind. But when strange files begin disappearing from the archives, anonymous phone calls start following her home, and evidence surfaces linking her late brother to a secret project known only as Encore, she realises something far bigger is happening. Now Thalia, Michael, her chaotic roommate Lily, an eccentric tech archivist named Josh, and an increasingly stressed Chris Tucker are thrown into a dangerous search for the truth. One involving hidden facilities, stolen records, archive break in, fake identities, and a conspiracy powerful enough to erase people completely. The problem? None of them are remotely qualified for any of this. Especially not Michael, who keeps accidentally using his real name during undercover missions. Funny, emotional, mysterious, and occasionally unhinged, this story explores grief, friendship, found family, and what it means to finally be seen as a person instead of an icon. And somewhere beneath all the chaos lies one impossible question: What if the world's most famous ghost never died at all?
