What happens when an apothecary from Bubu Pharmacy finds an almost dead ginger in the mountains? They get swept up into way too much drama between harbingers. ------------------------- General TW: Violence, blood, injuries(possibly graphic descriptions), Abduction/kidnapping, probably incorrect medicinal plant use, poison and drug(ging), bad writing, a lot of pov changes. Let me know if I missed something. Authors (unhinged) Note: I read Apothecary Diaries and played Genshin before bed and this is what happened... This is going to be hella canon divergent because all of the Harbingers are still alive(for now). They're also probably going to be a bit OOC. I'll do my best but no promises. Also, fair warning, might be a reader insert might be kinda an OC(hair long enough to use a hair stick, an unhealthy interest in plants, and kinda short. So far only defined traits that I can think of). I don't know yet. Also really bad writing for the first few chapters but it gets better(hopefully). Going to be Childe x reader. But there's a chance all the Harbingers are gonna be flirty to screw with Childe. We'll all figure that out as we go. This is also being cross posted to tumblr on my account: Padf0-ot. Love, ~Author

"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.
