You grew up alongside the Jackson family, but to you, Michael Jackson was never the King of Pop.
He was just Janet's older brother.
Your childhood was filled with sleepovers, laughter, and memories you thought were left behind when the Jacksons moved to Los Angeles. Years later, life takes you down an entirely different path until one unexpected job changes everything.
Now a makeup artist working with some of the biggest names in entertainment, you're assigned to style the world's most famous performer... only to discover he's the same boy you once called family.
As old memories resurface and years apart begin to disappear, you'll learn that sometimes the people we leave behind never truly leave our hearts.
Childhood friends. Unexpected reunions. Slow-burn romance. Behind-the-scenes tour life. And the King of Pop before-and after-the spotlight.

𝙐𝙉𝘿𝙀𝙍 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙎𝙋𝙊𝙏𝙇𝙄𝙂𝙃𝙏 | 𝐌𝐉𝐉
I never wanted fame. I just wanted stories. As a young entertainment journalist working my way through a competitive Los Angeles media world, I thought I understood celebrities-the interviews, the headlines, the carefully curated versions of truth. But nothing prepared me for being assigned to one of the most private and heavily watched artists in the world. 𝘔𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘦𝘭 𝘑𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘴𝘰𝘯 was supposed to be just another assignment. Just another name on a schedule. Just another interview to survive. But the closer I get to the truth behind the spotlight, the more I realize there's no such thing as "just another story" when the entire world is watching. And some stories don't stay professional.
And Then He Smiled | Season 1
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. DISCLAIMER: This is a fictional work of fanfiction created for entertainment purposes only. While it features real public figures and references certain real-life events, some relationships, conversations, private interactions, and circumstances have been fictionalized and should not be interpreted as factual.Complete
