[season 1] In the near-future, mankind succeeds in curing A.I.D.S. However, something much worse fills the void, an aggressive sickness that only affects females. Though only 50% of Earth's population is at risk of contracting M.A.I.D.S., the illness impacts everyone. World War III begins as panic-stricken governments seize healthy females in order to ensure the survival of their people, but even warfare and forced breeding programs can't halt the inevitable: mankind is dying out. An international team of scientists combine existing technologies, theories, and desperation to create Synthia, a synthetic human female capable of M.A.I.D.S.-free existence and, most importantly, reproduction. Biomechanical humans, dubbed Synthias, are mass-produced, and mankind's population begins to slowly increase after being decimated by the illness and war. The cost of salvation is souls. Synthias are denied basic human rights because they are manufactured, not born. After staging an unsuccessful uprising, the facilities where Synthias are mass-produced undergo great changes. Synthia manufactories are re-opened as boutiques where a man's mate can be custom-ordered, right down to the various skills and knowledge the Synthia possesses. A truly male-oriented world emerges around this new technology. Adam, the first son of a Synthia, wants something more than a mere breeding machine. He wants a true partner and something like the "love" he only knows about from pre-war media. The Synthia he creates is something new that threatens to destroy the status quo... Adam's Synthia is not an it. Adam's Synthia is a she. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- M.A.I.D.S. is the winner of two Watty Awards (2011).

Magic and Love in one story. What more can you want really? Note: I know now that the new book and play has come out it may be a little different to what happens in this story, as when I wrote this story I didn't have a clue what any of the characters were going to be like. So I'm sorry if they act out of character to whats in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

"I'm either going to run fast enough, or I'm going to die." It's thousands of years into the future, and global warming has driven the human race underground, and into the dark. The govenment has passed a law that states that no one is allowed to go outside when the sun is up, or you will be burned alive by the sun's rays. But as the old saying goes: Rules are meant to be broken.

You know when you tell yourself that certain things would never happen? Like, gravity being turned off, or coming back from the dead.

I am Harry Potter’s girlfriend…and I think I’m falling for Draco Malfoy.
