AHHHH hiii this is my first story I've written! This story will be a Michael x Reader story in first person view! The images in the stories help show how he looked during the chapter. I hope you enjoy! Before the fame, before the concerts, before everyone in the world knew his name, he was just Michael. Your best friend. You grew up together in Gary, Indiana, spending summers outside, listening to music, and talking about the future like it was so far away. But as the years go by and Michael's life starts changing faster than either of you can keep up with, feelings start getting involved too. From childhood best friends to first love, this story follows you and Michael through every era, every heartbreak, and every moment that tried pulling you apart. But no matter how famous he becomes, to you he'll always just be Michael.

Inaya Smith was twenty-four years old, fearless on stage, and impossible to ignore once the music started. She lived in a small apartment in New York City with her older sister, Tay, her biggest supporter, and sometimes the only person capable of calming her down when life became overwhelming. She had the kind of beauty people noticed immediately: deep brown eyes filled with emotion, glowing caramel skin, long dark curls Then her entire life changed with one audition. The upcoming biographical film about Michael Jackson was searching for dancers and actors, and Inaya almost didn't go. Thousands had auditioned. The pressure was impossible. But the she got the call. She had officially been cast as the Thriller Girl But somewhere in the middle of all the pressure, Inaya met Jaafar Jackson. And unexpectedly... they clicked instantly. Jaafar was calm where Inaya was fiery. Focused where she was chaotic. But around each other, they balanced perfectly. They spent hours rehearsing scenes together, laughing between takes, sharing music playlists, sneaking snacks onto set, and talking long after filming wrapped. Their chemistry became impossible for the cast to ignore. But for Inaya, the most unexpected part of the journey wasn't the fame beginning to surround her. It was how close she became to Jaafar. Because somewhere between the choreography, the late-night rehearsals, the Thriller costumes, and the pressure of bringing a legend's story to life... the two of them started becoming inseparable. （𝒥𝒶𝒶𝒻𝒶𝓇 𝒻𝒶𝓃𝒻𝒾𝒸） (Hope you guys enjoy💕✌🏼) #48 Jaafar Jackson

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, and an increasingly stressed Chris Tucker are thrown into a dangerous search for the truth. One involving hidden facilities, stolen records, private jets, 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?

(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 is no stranger to rumors, but when increasingly invasive articles begin dissecting his private life, even he starts to feel the weight of the headlines. At the same time, Hollywood's favorite leading lady is growing tired of being reduced to pretty smiles and successful romance films while her dreams of becoming a serious actress remain firmly out of reach. A carefully negotiated relationship offers a solution to both of their problems. For Michael, it provides a much-needed shift in public perception. For you, it opens doors that have always remained frustratingly out of reach. It's mutually beneficial, protected by a contract, and entirely for the cameras. At least, that's what it's supposed to be.

DESTINY - HIStory ERA "Growing up around the Jackson family, Y/N always felt like part of the world her father worked so hard to manage. But while she shared an easy friendship with Marlon, Michael was different-distant, focused, and wrapped up in his music. They rarely spoke, and she never thought much of it... until the summer of 1979. Late-night rehearsals, stolen glances, and unspoken words begin to blur the lines between friendship and something more. For the first time, Michael sees her-not just as the daughter of a man he works with, but as someone he wants. And Y/N finds herself falling for the one person she was warned to stay away from. Her father has always made one thing clear: No getting close to the Jackson boys. But how can she resist when Michael is asking her to rock with him?"
