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.

Buggy Gills isn't who anyone thinks she is. Some say she's a snotty popular girl. Others say she's a geek who spends her time playing video games. Some say she's a blonde, others say wavy black-haired. Some have seen her as a kind nurse, and the rest comment her as an off-duty conductor at the train station. Who is Buggy, really? She's a chameleon, a 'mistress of disguises' as people on the news call her (although 'girl master' suits her better). And she's an anti-hero. Buggy does her own thing that just happens to save people's lives. Now that a well-known celebrity is kidnapped, Buggy has to find him before it's too late. The problem with that is, who's that girl Buggy's always seeing throughout her mission? Cover by @himayalin (ROUGH DRAFT) If you're interested in reading more of Buggy, you can find her story in my collection of shorts, Looking Forward.

"You're chickenshit. I'm tough shit. And we're in a complicated relationship. I get it. Now kiss me." -- wisely said by Michelle Wachowski Francis Hughes used to exist. Why doesn't he anymore? Simple: she goes by Franny now, and hides her horns (and surgery scars) from the population of the town she's moved into. She would have moved into a different part of Hell instead of moving up to Earth, but that's not far enough from her brothers, who oppose everything she does. A new change means a new change, right? Unless that means finding out your brothers hired people to make you go back to Hell, and always being a damsel in distress when a girl named Michelle is around to beat the shit out of them, Franny's pretty sure she'll have to shake off her past for a long time before she can start her life over the way she wants. (VERY ROUGH DRAFT; READ WITH CAUTION)

"Write down one word that describes you." psy·cho·path noun noun: psychopath; plural noun: psychopaths a person suffering from chronic mental disorder with abnormal or violent social behavior. ⌄⌃⌄⌃⌄⌃⌄ "I'm psychopathic..." Oliver muttered as he glared at me suspiciously and condescendingly. He was waiting for me to run away. Grinning widely to piss him off, I shrugged. "If you're a psychopath, then I must be a lunatic. Because I like you. And because of that, I'm not leaving." He'd watched me stand my ground because we'd surely been through way too much for me to give up now. A small smile spread through his emotionless facade and in a second, he was back to who I really saw him for. He let out a laugh, "Do you have a death wish?"

Mars Kensington has nowhere to go. Forced to attend weekly confessions for being lesbian, she had it with her parents and decided to leave the house. Lost and confused, she was approached by two mysterious women who offered her a once in a lifetime chance to attend Lesbian Academy.

"People hide things up their sleeves. Sometimes it's cool things, like cards, like magic. Sometimes it's sad things, like scars, like depression." Psychological disorders are nothing new to Frankie Anderson. He's been around them his entire life, with his mother being a psychiatrist and all, and they never really bothered him. Until he moves to Ravenview, that is, and his life seems to do a complete 180 from the usual patient-gets-mental-diagnostic-from-Ma-and-gets-better norm. First of all, his new town is weird, including the people in it. Second of all, the town neighboring his is even weirder--people from Ravenview go to Suicideville to take their own lives almost every month. And thirdly, probably the weirdest, most screwed up thing to happen to him yet, he finds himself growing attached to his best friend's suicidal, self-destructive, clinically depressed older brother. And he's never been so desperate to help someone, to show them that there's more to life than pills, a bottle and a gun before it's too late.

"Clyde." "What?" "Your sass is showing." The winds of Chicago are blowing in the right direction, especially for Kenny Taylorson. Kenny, a nineteen year old guy with a no BS tolerance, is booted from his old town and out onto the streets of the Windy City, where he's to fend entirely for himself. After scrounging up enough cash around the city, he discovers a new restaurant called Azu. Azu, known best for one of its most sharp-tongued workers, brings Kenny a bucket of luck during the midst of his troubles. He gets a job, gains many new friends and stumbles upon Cupid's arrow. Of course, he doesn't just catch the cutesy, adorable type of love bug, though. He comes across Clyde, the manager at Azu that is likely to be the sassiest, sauciest, most salacious queer known to mankind. With a sharp-tongue that is only one of many sparks to his flaming personality, Clyde starts an amusingly tough game of hard-to-get with Kenny. Even if both guys find each other extremely obnoxious, their humorous experiences of primadonna-galore brings their intrigued sides for one another out, until finally, each of the two young men exposes what they're hiding raw under their extravagant personalities.

When Sam up and leaves Ben his heart is broken. But, his aren't the only tears being shed. Their five year old daughter, Lizabeth, is left behind as well. Can her dad pick up the pieces to her shattered heart? {Ben Bruce- Daughter One Shot}

Chris Cerulli was never meant to be anything but who he was. A performer, a boyfriend maybe, a brother, a son. But never a father. That was never in his cards. Apparently, fate didn't get that memo. When Chris discovers he has a child he never knew existed, will he take on this new and unexpected roll? Or will he turn his back on the path he never wanted to be faced with? // *Infrequent Updates & Occasional Swearing* \\

{Kellin Quinn *Adoption/Daughter* Story} 'Captivating. There was no other word he could conjure up to describe the pull her eyes commanded. There seemed to be an unspoken law, they demanded your full attention be given to her, but much the same there appeared to be a silent beauty that drew your attention and-whether you wanted to or not-you had to pay her gaze mind. Not that he wished this pull to disappear. In fact, he'd never wanted anything so much as he wanted to hold her stare. In a moment, he knew she'd taken control of him... he saw that he had no more choice in the matter. Not one inch of him wanted to have it any other way. He was under her control, and he understood that could destroy him, yet there was no one whom he wished to destroy him more than the small girl with the navy blue eyes.' In one moment Kellin Quinn knew he couldn't go on without he frail, blue eyed beauty by his side. After Katelynne is diagnosed with breast cancer, Kellin's heart and head are flipped upside down. Despite the world's outlook on the 'Big C', he knew he'd probably live to be an old couple alongside his wife and daughter, but other family members of cancer patients aren't so lucky. Through the tragedy that brings them together, Kellin can't let go of the broken girl who unintentionally saved him in his hour of need. What he comes to realize, though, is that the little girl with the navy blue eyes may need him just as much as he needs her. Warning: RATED PG-13 for strong language, sexual content, gore, etc...
