Summary
You've spent two years quietly falling in love with Michael Jackson from the sidelines of his studio as a sound engineer. Somewhere along the way, you start leaving him small anonymous notes to comfort him on his hardest days.
He has no idea it's you. He's pretty sure the notes come from someone else.
You never wanted to be found. But nothing stays folded forever, and when the truth finally reaches him, how will he react?

Summary
One night you receive an accidental phone call that somehow morphs into a friendship between two lonely people trying to navigate life at the top of their respective careers. You find comfort in each other and despite never meeting in person you become each other’s best friend, until you find yourself slowly falling in love with the charming, charismatic man on the other side of the phone line and you start to hope for maybe something more.
You spend your career following celebrities and reporting on every hint of gossip you can find. It never occurs to you that Michael, the musician with the soft-spoken voice and kind heart you spend hours talking to every night, could also be the most famous celebrity there is.
Michael wants to keep it that way. Wants a friend who likes him for who he is, not what he means to the world and who can know his heart without suffering the price of his fame.
It’s inevitable that you would find out one day. You spend half of your day pestering him for information professionally and the other half doing the same socially. There’s only so many things to say before it all starts to overlap.

Michael Jackson x popstar!reader
Michael goes to your concert only because Janet won't take no for an answer, expecting a night of bubblegum pop and nothing more. Then you sit down with a guitar and cover a song so old that almost no one remembers it's his song. He falls in love somewhere between the first note and the last, and never quite finds his way back out.

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.
