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?

    ⚠️ Warning ⚠️ first fanfic might not be good. Does involve bullying if you are triggered by that this is you have been warned. In FanFiction, Peter and Harley (yes this is a Parley fanfic) both live and work at SI. They are the heirs to the company and will co-CEO together when Pepper and Tony Stark retire. Peters Academic Decathlon team wins a trip to SI for winning a state championship. Nobody believes Peter about his internship at Stark Industries. Involves Parley, Identity Reveals, most likely probably gonna be protective avengers and Harley, Flash being an A-hole. Peter is also Tony's adopted son and has been for 2.5 years since May died. There might be minor swearing. Complete! Thanks for the 2k views!

    She had spent years convincing herself that dreams were meant for other people. Once passionate about singing and dancing, she traded the stage for late-night shifts behind the counter of a neighborhood bar, pouring drinks while pretending she didn't miss the life she'd always imagined. Music was the only thing that still made the weight of living feel a little lighter. Then, one ordinary night, she fell asleep... ...and woke up in the same city, on the same streets, but in a different decade. 1983. Struggling to make sense of a world she shouldn't exist in, an unexpected encounter leads her to audition for a top-secret production. No one knows who the artist is. The project is shrouded in secrecy. Little does she know, she's about to step into the orbit of a young performer named Michael Jackson, just as he's preparing for the project that will change music history forever. The only problem? She already knows how the story goes. Every song that hasn't been written yet. Every record that hasn't been broken. Every triumph. Every heartbreak. And every secret she's never supposed to tell.

    Michael Jackson is searching for someone to care for his children while preparing for another studio album. Not a nanny, a mentor. Y/n is overqualified, painfully ambitious, and far too arrogant to accept an ordinary job after graduating university. So when she discovers a private caregiving position with an absurd salary, she applies immediately. She expects spoiled children, an absent employer, and easy money. What she doesn't expect is Michael Jackson himself. And Michael quickly realizes the infuriating young woman he hired may be the only person in years who refuses to be intimidated by him.

    Callie Mae Jefferson; born and raised in Kokomo, Indiana. Until one day her family locks up and moves up to Gary. She ends up becoming the one and only childhood best friend of the one and only Michael Jackson. To the world, he was the King of Pop. He was the most famous man in the world. But to Callie, he was just Michael. He was the boy she grew up down the street from. The only girl whose family was allowed over for dinner, the only girl who captured his heart as they grew up. To Michael, she was the light in his life that motivated him to keep doing one thing. Live. As they grow up, the Jackson family moves to LA to work with Motown, but Michael and Callie always kept in touch. Until one day, she moved to California to see what the world had to offer. Will she be able to compete with the fame that follows Michael wherever he goes? Will she be able to fit right in? Or will it come crashing down on them both, and rip them apart forever, ripping them away from a most special and almost spiritual bond? In an alternate universe where the King of Pop had a long time love. A love he needed. A love he deserved. In this world, she is the muse of some of his most iconic songs, but also she is the one who keeps him grounded. Keeps him happy. Keeps him alive. In this world, no one would ever know what it's like to not have Michael Jackson living in it.

    Michael Jackson and Marilyn Bennett have been arguing for eight years. Nobody remembers exactly how it started anymore. Not their coworkers. Not their friends. Not even them. What began as a mutual dislike somewhere in the mid-1980s has long since evolved into something far more ridiculous: a rivalry fueled by sarcasm, stubbornness, and an almost impressive inability to mind their own business. By 1992, everyone around them has learned to expect it. If Michael has an idea, Marilyn will find a flaw in it. If Marilyn makes a decision, Michael will have an opinion about it. Every conversation becomes a debate. Every debate becomes an argument. And somehow, despite claiming they can't stand each other, they keep finding themselves in the same rooms, the same meetings, and the same corners of each other's lives. The problem is, hatred is easy. It's familiar. It's safe. What's much harder to explain is why the person who knows exactly how to get under your skin is also the first person you want to tell things to. Why their absence feels strangely noticeable. Or why, after years of rolling your eyes at someone, you suddenly start seeing them differently. Because somewhere between the rehearsals, late nights, sharp remarks, and endless disagreements, the lines begin to blur. Arguments become conversations. Conversations become understanding. And the person they've spent years pushing away slowly becomes the one they can't imagine losing. Unfortunately, admitting that would require Michael and Marilyn to do something neither of them has ever been particularly good at: Being wrong. Out of Line is a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers story set during Michael Jackson's Dangerous era, following two stubborn people as they navigate rivalry, reluctant respect, unexpected friendship, and the terrifying realization that the person they've been arguing with all along may be the person they were always meant to find.
