This is the completely rewritten second edition of Unbecoming Humans. It's bigger, it's gayer, it's everything the first edition deserved to be. Please note that this rewrite is currently in progress. The end of the current rewritten chapters will be marked. With civilization on the brink of collapse, Aria's parents built Eden to be the cradle of the next evolution of humanity, but survival at Eden is far from guaranteed. Aria has been little more than a puppet in her parents' games of genetic experimentation and control over the next iteration of humanity for almost as long as she can remember. When Aria meets Nima, the latest in a long line of victims lured to Eden by the promise of safety, a spark rekindles her cold heart. Aria can't sit idly by while Nima becomes her parents' next prey. The two must find a way to survive Eden's deadly experiments, or risk the greatest love they've ever known.

Where will Emily and Sue's relationship be when season 2 starts? This story will be a compilation of some scenes I've been daydreaming about in my head. I grappled with posting this as a complete piece or as chapters/sections, and many people commented to post individual chapters, so I'm going to. Don't fret, I have longer sections coming. Check out my other story, "It's Nice To Have a Friend."
