    Summary

    "Alright, ready to start?" asked the interviewer.

    "I am," she responded, "and just so we're on the same page, the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?"

    "So help you God," the interviewer quipped.

    She took a deep breath. The story of her and Michael's life together was one that was long and complex. One that she wasn't sure the interviewer, or the world for that matter was ready to hear, but she knew it needed to be told nonetheless.

    "Well," she began, wondering how she was going to fit three decades of history between her and her late husband into a single interview, "I met Michael in the spring of 1976, so let's start from there."

    Summary

    Michael can't sleep.

    A convenience store worker on the night shift can't seem to get rid of him.

    Night after night, one conversation turns into another. Then another. Soon they're sharing meals at dawn, ignoring the tension growing between them, and pretending they're only there for the company.

    Neither of them is looking for a relationship.

    That's probably the first problem.

    Summary

    Their eyes met, and he felt the warmth of her stare heat him up from top to bottom. When she held out her hand and he grasped it, he knew he had to find out as much about her as possible.

    He knew he had to put himself out there and at least try.


    or...


    Michael Jackson had expectations for his last year of undergrad, but being paid to date the girl whose voice had haunted him occasionally over four years was not one of them.

    Summary

    The boy snorted. “Why do you think I’m younger than you? How old are you?”

    Kimberly paused. “Wait, I said that out loud?”

    “Uh, yeah.” He sounded like he was trying not to laugh. “It’s 'cause I’m short, ain’t it? My brothers make fun every day.”

    All she could say was, “I am so so sorry.”

    When two wunderkinds meet under serendipitous circumstances, they realize they have one big thing in common: a love of music. Michael Jackson of the pop world and Kimberly Henderson of the classical world become fast and close friends. But, as they often do, things change tremendously when children grow up.

    *The rating will change as the story progresses!*

    Summary

    You’ve known the Jackson family for years, but this summer feels different.

    Maybe it’s the late nights by the pool.
    Maybe it’s the way Michael keeps lingering around you without realizing it.
    Or maybe you’re finally starting to see him differently too.

    Summary

    The redheaded girl had a regular spot on Sunset Boulevard. Her pimp was a bad-tempered man with artichoke breath and silk shirts. She was pale, slender, and had a melancholic gaze. She would be perfect for his plan.

    Joseph wanted to force Michael to lose his virginity already. He wanted Michael to stop proposing marriage to girls. To stop blushing so violently at every attempt at flirting. To stop buying toys and being so naive.
    He wanted Michael to become a man by force, if necessary.

    Summary

    Michael Jackson is no stranger to rumors, but when increasingly invasive articles begin dissecting his private life, even he starts to feel the weight of the headlines.

    At the same time, Hollywood's favorite leading lady is growing tired of being reduced to pretty smiles and successful romance films while her dreams of becoming a serious actress remain firmly out of reach.

    A carefully negotiated relationship offers a solution to both of their problems. For Michael, it provides a much-needed shift in public perception. For you, it opens doors that have always remained frustratingly out of reach. It's mutually beneficial, protected by a contract, and entirely for the cameras.

    At least, that's what it's supposed to be.

    Summary

    Billie Jo was the first born of Elvis and Pricilla Presley. She was a quiet thing, unlike her younger sister Lisa Marie. She kept to herself and had a hard time making any friends. She would spend most of her days outside in the long grass, day dreaming and talking to herself. Her father pushed her a little too hard sometimes to be the star he claimed he knew she could be. Her mother tried her best to protect her, but there were always things that Billie could not escape from.

    Billie Jo never wanted friends and she most certainly never wanted any fans. But after meeting one talented young black man, Billie Jo found herself stepping out of the tall grass and into something unfamiliar, something fragile and terrifying all at once.

    She hadn’t wanted friends. She had never wanted fans. But she hadn’t expected to want him.

    Summary

    When Midorii Madeline Takemura came into the world, no one assumed her life would turn out this way. Growing up in the shadow of family expectations, tradition, and preordained roles, she was meant to be just another obedient piece in a perfect puzzle. Fate, however, had other plans. Her desire for freedom and her own voice hurled her into the brutal world of show business, a place where the glare of the spotlights can blind you, and every attempt to be yourself becomes a fight for survival.

    On the other hand, when Michael Jackson stood on stage as a child, the world saw a wunderkind born to change the history of music. Yet, few noticed that beneath the mask of genius and a flawless smile lay a man trapped in the golden cage of his own fame. Condemned to constant judgment, hounded by the media, and stripped of his privacy.

    In these two tragic, pain-filled stories, no one could have predicted that amidst the blinding flash of cameras and omnipresent falsehood, two such vastly different stars would see in each other something more than just a media image. In a world that feeds on their suffering, will they manage to find sanctuary? Or will the destiny that brought them together prove to be their greatest curse?

    Summary

    Growing up beside the Jackson family, you become Michael Jackson’s closest friend long before fame consumes him. From crowded Motown rehearsals to late-night rooftop conversations, she witnesses the side of Michael the world never sees — insecure, overwhelmed, and desperate to be loved beyond the spotlight.

    But as the Jackson 5 rise to fame and Michael steps into superstardom during the Off the Wall and Thriller eras, paparazzi, Hollywood pressure, and dangerous isolation slowly pull him away from the only person who ever truly understood him.

    You hope he still finds you amidst the chaos.
