SUMMARY
An out-of-solar system colony project gone wrong means Jessie English was stuck doing the bulk of the work of the deceased science crew. Sticking to his morals meant being left for dead by those in charge. By chance, he meets Luc, a member of the planet's sentient avian humanoid species. All Jessie wants to do now is live out the rest of his days with him, and hopefully get past the language barrier that prevents him from communicating the feelings of love he hopes are mutual.
Unfortunately, sightings of a human and an alien together are more interesting to the colony's higher-ups than one would hope.
***
Born the runt of his clutch, Luc had never held anyone so small, so soft...
He was all Jessie had, so he would do everything to shield him from others of his kind, and by extension, protect the whole human race.
HOW TO READ
There are 17 chapters lined up to post bi-weekly, starting this Saturday.
If you want to read ahead, all currently available chapters are up on Radish and Patreon (links in my bio) The first five chapters on Radish are free, and every chapter after that is on a timer to unlock for free. Radish (like tapas) has multiple opportunities to get free coins to unlock the story.
QUICK QA
- Is this new project mature? Yes.
- How long will it be? 30 chapters, depending on how long some chapters might get (The longest I have scheduled right now is 3,200 words.) I might have to break up the outline to allow for extra chapters.
