in which a taylor madison grey is the reason behind michael joseph jackson's bright life

A slow-burn story set in 1978 between two close friends who recently made means to reconnect after years of avoidance. Through heartbeat skips, soft brushes of shoulders, and eye contact that lingers just a little too long to be platonic- they'll grow to accept that their relationship doesn't have to end at friendship. EXTRA INFO: 1. This fanfic's intent is NOT to normalize/encourage parasocial relationships. It was simply made for my own enjoyment and for readers to enjoy. 2. Not everything is historically accurate. Some details are true, while others are made up for the story. 3. The reader in this fanfic, (y/n), is implied to be black. However, anyone can enjoy the story. 4. Feedback is always welcome! I'm far from an expert, and criticism (in my opinion) is one of the best things a writer can receive.

She never expected to be noticed by him. She never stopped wondering what would happen if she had been.
