"For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return." -Leonardo Da Vinci
A Winglet is a kind of human who can sprout wings. A human who can fly. A human that Carter Banks never knew he was until that fateful day at the edge of the cliff. And now that he has the wings, all he has to do is take flight. But that won't be easy for him, because not only are there dangers in the skies, but dangers at home and the danger of his family discovering the truth about him. How will Carter learn to fly freely, shaking off the weight his burdens carry? The answer lies in this story.

Wings
*Wings Book 1 If you are expecting a nice main character who does as she's told and is the picture of virtue... you're reading the wrong book. But if you're expecting someone like me... mischievous, clever, and rather bad, you've come to the right place. I know you're expecting a summary, so I'll tell you this; I'm not who you think I am. Humans have created their own stories about me - well, about us, but I'll get into that later - but those stories are mostly corruptions of what really happened. They even get the names wrong! Well, mostly. The others don't know I'm writing this, but if they find out... heh, heh, it's not going to be pretty. Don't tell them, okay? Well, as I was saying, I was adopted into my family, the Altheans. They live in a shining city, Althea, and all follow the rules of this guy called Orvin. I would object, only he's the one who rescued me from the ruins of the human village I was trapped in in the first place, so I can't complain. For some strange reason, he's banned us all from going to Earth for two hundred years (though I didn't exactly follow that rule) and for some equally mysterious reason, he's decided to let us go down there again. This is my story.Complete
Fading into time
BASED LOOSELY ON THIS PROMPT: A long time ago, every human had wings. When you were born, they were white, but they changed to all colours of the rainbow given what kind of life you live, from a light yellow to a dark blue. However, in this time, only stumps are left, coloured in a muddy grey. No one remembers why humans left their wings, and no one cares anymore. That is until a young man appears, seemingly without memory, with wings as tall as he is himself, fully feathered...but coloured in the darkest shade of black. credits to https://weheartit.com/entry/324896801 for cover art thank you💞Complete
