Y/N has spent her whole life working in a children's home in Los Angeles, dedicating every part of herself to protecting the children in her care. Making them smile, keeping them safe, and shielding them from the kind of pain she knows all too well has become her purpose. Love, however, is something she has always kept at a safe distance. That is, until an unexpected visit from Michael Jackson turns her carefully controlled world upside down. Drawn into a life she never imagined, Y/N is forced to confront the walls she has built around her heart. But can she learn to trust again, to be vulnerable, and to accept love - especially when it comes from the most famous man in the world? Or will her past prove too powerful to let her fall for him?

Some people spend their whole lives searching for the right person. Michael and Y/N spend theirs searching everywhere except where they should have looked first. They've been best friends since childhood. They've shared dreams, heartbreaks, and every version of each other long before fame changed everything. Maybe soulmates don't always meet as strangers. Maybe... they grow up together.

You never expected to end up sitting next to the most annoying guy in school... especially not Michael Jackson. Michael's funny, confident, and somehow always knows exactly how to get on your nerves. Whether he's throwing paper notes at you during class, teasing you in the hallway, or making your heart race with one stupid smile, he quickly becomes impossible to ignore. But when a school project forces the two of you to spend more time together, the line between "hate" and something else starts getting dangerously blurry. Now you're stuck dealing with teasing friends, awkward tension, secret feelings, and a boy who refuses to stop flirting with you. And honestly? That might be the biggest problem of all.

Before the tours. Before the headlines. Before everything changed. There was a girl backstage Michael Jackson couldn't stop thinking about.

A Glimpse Into Life With Michael A collection of one-shots based on the story "And Then He Smiled". The wedding. The honeymoon. Quiet nights at Neverland. Family gatherings, adventures, laughter, arguments, and everything in between. A glimpse into the life Michael Jackson and Y/N built together after their happily ever after. Because some love stories don't end when the final chapter is written. Sometimes, that's where a new story begins.

What starts with five trial days inside a recording studio slowly turns into late-night phone calls, shy glances, hidden feelings, and a love neither of them expected in the middle of 1983. This story is a work of fiction, but Michael's personality is written as closely as possible to the way he was described by the people who truly knew him: gentle, shy, respectful, emotional, playful, and quietly romantic.

After everything they've been through, there are no more doubts, no more games. Michael and her are finally together, trying to build something real in a world that never stops watching. But loving Michael Jackson was never going to be simple.

They spent two years convincing themselves they had moved on. Work became a distraction. Distance became a habit. Silence became normal. Then one unexpected invitation changes everything. As old feelings resurface and forgotten truths come to light, Michael and Y/N must decide whether some people belong in the past... or whether certain souls always find their way back to each other. This story is a work of fiction, but Michael's personality is written as closely as possible to the way he was described by the people who truly knew him: gentle, shy, respectful, emotional, playful, and quietly romantic.

Fame changed everything around Michael Jackson. The music. The pressure. The way the world looked at him. But somehow, the way he looked at her never did. 1987 || BAD ERA
