    Summary

    Late 1985, early 1986.

    For Helena Mastroianni, the city of stars holds no cinematic magic.

    At twenty-four, her roots are split between the olive groves of Italy and the sun-drenched coasts of Spain, but her present is confined to an office at Epic Records and a suitcase overflowing with stop-motion mockups and miniature worlds.

    Helena is... strange.

    A mind that only seems to understand fantasy, handmade creatures, and tiny fabricated universes.

    While trying to prove to her family that she will not return home empty-handed, her path collides - quite literally - with the most famous man on the planet.

    Michael Jackson is in the middle of a creative storm. He is searching for something different, something that pushes beyond the limits of what people expect from his "mini movies."

    When he meets Helena, he does not find another obedient fan or the fragile girl the world constantly assumes he wants.

    He finds a woman who is expressive, stubborn, unapologetically herself - wrapped in a dark, distinctly European kind of elegance that fascinates him instantly.
    Michael finds something almost impossible:

    A real friend...or more than friend.

    Summary

    A young Filipino by the name, Maria Evangelista, recently a board passer, found herself stuck in an alternate reality in the past. One where her profession and career don't align with her past self (past future self?) And she was somewhat considered a young child star on the road to fame during the time of what was one of the Dark Ages of Philippine History.

    Okay, Maria can do this. She can act the part of a rising young talent while simultaneously not get herself killed in the process, so long as she can find a way to go back without breaking this timeline.

    Except.

    The differences of this timeline became much more noticeable as she stepped into the international stage.

    Moreover, is she ready to break the set timeline to get a chance to rescue the idol she always admires from screens and words of people long dead?

    Summary

    Alternate universe where Lisa didn't divorce Michael after the '95 HBO incident.

    Instead of walking away, Lisa Marie Presley takes absolute control. She locks the gates of Neverland, fires his enablers, and issues a ruthless ultimatum: one year of total sobriety in exchange for the family he desperately desires.

    What follows is a bitter, high-stakes war of wills as Michael battles withdrawal, his ego, and his insecurities. Refusing to back down, Lisa's iron grip forces him to face his demons, leading to a profound shift in their power dynamic, raw vulnerability, and ultimately, the healthy family they both fought to save.

    Summary

    Twenty-six-year-old Emily Carter has spent her entire life wishing she belonged somewhere else. When a strange night leaves her waking up in 1979 as a young Hollywood actress with a life she never lived, she discovers she's been given something impossible: a second chance.
    As memories of her old life clash with the new one, Emily finds herself swept into the glittering world of fame, music, and endless possibility. But nothing compares to meeting the person she's admired her whole life—a young Michael Jackson on the brink of superstardom.
    Emily knows what's coming. The records. The fame. The heartbreak. The loneliness.
    And the more time she spends with him, the harder it becomes to stand by and watch history unfold.
    Caught between the future she remembers and the past she's beginning to love, Emily must decide whether changing fate is worth risking everything—including the life and love she never expected to find.
    Because some stories are written in time.
    And some are worth rewriting

    Summary

    "I was so lonely that I used to walk through my neighborhood hoping I'd run into somebody I could talk to and perhaps become friends with. I wanted to meet people who didn't know who I was. I wanted to run into somebody who would be my friend because they liked me and needed a friend too, not because I was who I am. I wanted to meet anybody in the neighborhood..."
    - Michael Jackson (Moonwalk, 1988)

    In which Michael finally gets his wish on a random walk around his neighborhood.

    Summary

    “Now, listen. This is just the first day of trying to get this all down. We’re not even rehearsing yet, so don’t feel too much pressure. He isn’t expecting this to be done for at least another few weeks,” he said in a hushed tone.

    A million questions rushed into your head. Well, two questions, really. What was being rehearsed, and who was ‘he’ supposed to be?

     

    Or

     

    After missing your bus on your way to an interview, you find yourself mistakenly dragged into a set for one of Michael Jackson's short films. He likes you enough to keep you around, and your career and relationship with him snowballs from there.

    Summary

    Samira Presley es una mente científica brillante, nacida bajo el cobijo de un apellido legendario pero atrapada en la fría y solitaria rigidez de Graceland. Asocial y analítica, nunca esperó que su cuadriculado universo se descarrilara por completo al tropezar en una terraza con Michael Jackson... un chico de diecisiete años atrapado en una fama gigante que solo busca un amigo real.

    Al principio, sus mundos chocan. Pero los sábados compartidos jugando Monopoly y pasando el rato con mascotas exóticas forjan una amistad improbable y un refugio puro contra la presión del exterior. Y en esa cercanía, mientras desafían las expectativas y sus propias debilidades, el cariño de la adolescencia empieza a transformarse en algo mucho más profundo.

    Juntos, deberán descubrir si el lazo que han construido es lo suficientemente fuerte para sobrevivir a las exigencias del mundo, a los golpes de la salud y a la inevitable llegada del amor.

    Enquanto aprende a viver sua segunda chance, Grace conhece um garoto tímido, talentoso e cheio de sonhos chamado Michael Jackson.

    Entre memórias esquecidas, amizades, família e recomeços, Grace descobrirá que algumas almas recebem uma nova oportunidade para encontrar seu verdadeiro caminho.

    Porque, às vezes, os sonhos não morrem.

    Eles apenas recomeçam.

    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

    What would you do if one day a time machine were invented, and you had the chance to visit or relive a moment preserved in the past?

    Aurora, a young Italian woman, is chosen to be one of ten lucky people to try time travel for the very first time.
    Since the project is still in its experimental phase, something goes wrong: the machine malfunctions, and Aurora is hurled into a journey without a destination.
    1991. Los Olivos, California. A man sits in his special spot on his ranch, searching for inspiration for his music.
    His peace is interrupted by the sudden appearance of something... or someone, within his property, as if it had materialized out of thin air.

    This is the story of how a young woman from the future will try to save the past of the man who welcomed her into his life; together, they must learn to understand the different realities that separate them, while also trying not to fall into the trap of the love that will sweep them away like sunrays breaking through the clouds after a storm.
    However, it is well known that Time Travel comes with rules — and Aurora knows this very well:
    Will she manage to help the man without changing too much of the past?

    Amara De Giuli was hired to sew costumes, keep her head down, and stay far away from the man on the stage.

    But Michael Jackson is softer than the tabloids paint him to be; shy, gentle, and unbearably lonely beneath the spotlight.

    As cameras flash and rumors spread, the world begins pulling her into a life she never wanted. And the closer they grow behind closed doors, the harder it becomes for Amara to tell where normalcy ends and something far more dangerous begins.
