AVIAN | ✓
An out-of-solar system colony project gone wrong meant Jessie English was stuck doing most of the work assigned to 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. -------- AVIAN has been COMPLETED on the writer's end (30 chapters + five bonus stories) and is on a bi-weekly upload schedule.

When Lauren Everhart and his former high school bully, Peter Ducane, are thrown together in the chaos of an alien invasion, the last thing either expects is to rely on the other to survive. As Earth falls under attack, Lauren suddenly manifests dangerous psychic abilities, drawing the attention of the Lyriascan Empire and its ruthless ruler, Adamas Son'Raul, a conqueror determined to claim Lauren as his future mate. Hunted across a collapsing world, Lauren and Peter are forced into an uneasy alliance, confronting buried resentment, unresolved attraction, and heated hostility. But as Lauren's powers grow and the enemy closes in, their unchecked desires threaten to become just as dangerous as the invasion itself. With Earth's future hanging in the balance, can Lauren and Peter stay one step ahead of their pursuers, and their explosive attraction, long enough to stop the Emperor determined to take the planet, and Lauren, by force? Book 1 of the Starblessed Saga - (Excerpt taken from chapter 8) 'Don't catch feelings, Peter. You can't. You chose this. Normal life, remember? I wanted to meet a nice girl, settle down in a big house with a white picket fence- I wanted to trace those full lips with mine as I mapped out every inch of his soft skin with my hands and worshipped every freckle on his body as he breathed out my name like a prayer- Fuck.'

Letting Love In
You are programmed one way. Programmed to think one way and act one way and love one way, the normal way -- the way preferred by society, the way that everyone around you does. But what if that way changes? What if something or someone changes it? What if they introduce you to change? Is change bad? Is being different a bad thing? What if the difference makes you happy? Isn't happiness what we should be striving for, and nor normalcy? So picture this, you are normal. You are the definition of normal. Your friends are seemingly normal and you think your life is fine, because its normal. Then someone interrupts that flow of normalcy by being different. They aren't society's vision of normal - they are different. And the thing is, they have no normal, they believe there should be no such word as normal, which just happens to be the word your entire life is based on. What then? Accept the different and deny yourself the adventure of it all? Would that be the normal thing to do?Complete
