Camille Laurent grew up in a strict traditional family that taught her the world was divided into two kinds of people: black and white, and nothing in between. From her childhood, she remembers only discipline, silence and a pair of mysterious brown eyes that never left her mind. Now a famous celebrity makeup artist, Camille lives a life built on control and perfection, still shaped by her parents' expectations. Until she meets Michael Jackson...

(some good old slowburn) "I'm sorry," she whispered, unable to look at him. "I shouldn't have just shown up here tonight. That was crossing a boundary. I just... somehow couldn't bring myself to say no. I miss you." She reached out before she could stop herself and took his fingers in hers. Now that she was standing so close to him, she could see the raw skin around his nail beds. He was hurting himself. He clearly wasn't doing well, even if he appeared calm in public. Michael let her, his fingers intertwining with hers almost instinctively. He took another step toward her, now standing so close that she could feel his warmth. No matter how cool and distant he tried to appear, he softened in her hands like wax beneath the flame of a candle. The naive, tender hope radiating from him broke her heart. Lost in thought, she brushed her thumb over his palm, still unable to bring herself to look up. She was far too close to him. "I miss you too," he replied quietly and gently. The tenderness in his voice sent a shiver through her. She forced herself to look at him again. His doe-like eyes shimmered with deep, vulnerable openness, filled with so much hope that her breath caught in her throat.

Her relationship with Derek falls through and she wants nothing more than to finally find someone for her. She yearns for a simpler time where dating apps didn't complicate her love life, but the times begin to change. For Ivory, that is, as she unexpectedly wakes up in 1982 on the streets on Encino, CA.

(P.S: this story is fictional. While I'm doing my best to make many aspects of it reflect reality correctly, it's difficult to nail every detail. Additionally, many names, places, and other parts of this story have been created to sound real, to make the story immersive, but are entirely fictional. I hope you enjoy!)

What happens when you work on the most iconic biopic of the century with the nephew of the King of Pop? "Solana, may I introduce you to Jaafar Jackson!"

"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.

Have you ever wondered what would Michael Jackson's life look like if some events didn't happen to him? If he had someone he trusted by his side through everything? Someone that had the power to save him from his tormented life? Hayley "Brit" Thames has the power to change Michael Jackson's future, and without knowing it, he has the power to make her love life again after something terrible happened to her. But nothing is that easy when fate is playing against you. *** "Here! I'm here," I exclaimed, as I found my way through the sea of people, ignoring the fact that my head was more and more aching as time passed by. "Ah, here she is," Carl smiled, and put his hand on my lower back. "Mr. Jackson, please meet Hayley Thames, one of the most passionate doctor I've ever met," he adressed the superstar who had Bethany on his lap. "Pleased to meet you," Michael Jackson smiled, standing up. He offered me his hand for me to shake it. "I've heard only great things about you so far." "I'm glad," I answered back, faking a smile, as the pain in my head was becoming unbearable. "N-Nice to meet you too, sir." At the second my hand made contact with his, my eyes couldn't see, my ears couldn't hear, my limbs couldn't move. It's like I was drowning in an ocean of images of him, of flashes I couldn't understand with people I didn't know. The only thing that seemed to be there, omnipresent, was him, Michael Jackson. It's like I could feel him invading my mind, like he was taking place in there without my approval. And then, nothing. Nothing but darkness.

The life of a wild warrior has always been unforgiving, but it is even more so back when the five Clans of the forest are younger- when the warrior code is still evolving, and battles are more frequent and deadly. As the harshest leaf-bare that the five Clans have ever seen descends on the forest, their survival becomes even more precarious. But, starvation and the cold threaten more than just Clan cats, and the brutal elements force Frost, a young rogue kit, to seek shelter in ShadowClan. Rejected by her father and orphaned after the death of her mother, Frost is left alone in ShadowClan. Although ShadowClan will not banish a kit in need, Frost struggles to feel as if she truly belongs there. As she grows from a kit to an apprentice and finally a warrior, she must fight to prove herself to her new Clan, while also unraveling the secrets of her parentage. But, the state of the forest is fragile, and a storm of war looms ever closer, threatening Frost's place in the Clan that she now calls home. Author's Note: Tagged "Mature" because of canon-typical depictions of violence and death. Formerly titled "Frosted Heart." This is a soft-reboot of Warriors- basically a fresh story with a new cast of characters and conflict, and some added worldbuilding around Clan culture and traditions. This story takes place in the Ancient Clans, specifically during the time period following the story "The Leader Who Sought Peace" found in "Battles of the Clans."
