In the new world, the genetics race is less sprint and more Mario Kart.

While governments scramble to standardise international genetic engineering practices, companies like KO Inc. are taking full advantage of the murky waters, producing made-to-order designer babies for the wealthy and roping the desperate into life-long contracts.

Chloe Haste is the product of one such contract. Dubbed a Knockout, she and her kind work off the debt of their birth by submitting to monitoring, training, and eventual assignment within KO Inc.

Chloe has never questioned her loyalty to the company that gave her life. Not until she’s tasked with bringing in fellow Knockout Jessica, a blast from Chloe’s past who skipped on her contract eleven years prior.

Because if Chloe completes this particular assignment, Jessica dies. And while Chloe loves her job, she loved Jessica first.

34 parts Complete Mature

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.
