aidanturner alessandrosperduti enemiestolovers fanfiction leonardo2018

Based on the series "Leonardo" from 2021, a core component of my childhood and personality (right off the bat, go watch it if you can, its historical inaccuracies make it a very enjoyable piece of media). After watching it multiple times and paying more attention to it than I do to any math lesson, I wanted to dive into the relationship between Leonardo da Vinci and Tommaso Masini, and what I think was a tragic story caught between love and hate which bloomed in its own quiet intimacy. Small disclaimer: the series is a VERY romanticised story of real life people, therefore I am not shipping the latter, but merely interpreting subtext established in the fictional world build for the show. I will try my best to remain loyal to the original script, so from time to time I will include excerpts from the various episodes, and braid the canon and the fanon together, hopefully to create something I'm pleased with.

Forward | Rewind to Tomorrow [Michael 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.
