Imagine being different than everyone else in every possible way. That is the life of the Imperfections. They are genetically flawed. They are born different. Raised different. Die different. But they have only just been discovered.

Michael is an Imperfection, but he is an imperfect Imperfection. His distinction from society will come from more than genetics. It will come from many things, some disastrous. 
His actions. 
His opinions. 
His thoughts. 
His love.
His powers.

When the world awakens to the threat of the Imperfections, how will Michael survive? He will discover secrets that will hurt him in ways unthinkable, but will it be worth it?

5 parts Ongoing Mature
She's the new girl, 𝐒𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐚 𝐀𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫 was the definition of control. A quiet perfectionist, she lived her life by a strict schedule, keeping everyone at arm's length. Smart, composed, and flawless, no one could break through her walls. That is, until Nathan noticed her. 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫 was naturally brilliant, but unlike Sophia, he thrived in chaos. He didn't need to plan-he simply did what he wanted. And what he wanted was to push Sophia out of her controlled world. He liked the challenge, the fire he saw hidden beneath her cold exterior. Every time he teased her, every time he got close, he saw more of her untapped side-the part of her that was fierce and real. But what Nathan didn't know was that every time he talked to her, he was making her life harder. Her carefully constructed world was unraveling, and at home, she paid the price for letting anyone in. The more Nathan pushed, the more Sophia distanced herself, and Nathan couldn't figure out why. The more he wanted to break through her walls, the more he found himself tangled in the mystery of why she always kept him at arm's length. Why she was 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 - 𝐀𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐬 - 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫/𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 - 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐮𝐦𝐚 - 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 Read to find out more
Default Genetics by BloodyBooMimi
2 parts Ongoing
Six teenagers. Genetically engineered. Organically weaponized. Publicly declared heroes, and privately ticking time bombs. The walking-talking equivalent of a biohazard weapon. The kind that reeks of sweat and streetlights and the unindominatable human spirit. The kind they wished they knew how to break. You see, they weren't born. Because life isn't as easy as crawling out of a womb anymore, with blood and serum and the warm exhale of a mother's love. No, it was far 'easier' than that. They were built - piece by piece, chemical after chemical, atom to atom - where scientists preferred fighting on which new type of atomic ray to experiment with next rather than the freaking Geneva Convention. Because, inside Helix Labs, lay the wasteland of glass and live wires and the unmistakable smell of a brand new, bioweapon. Was that a newborn cursed with a modified brain, heart, or muscle? Or did they prefer kidney, lungs or bone? No. Why? Because they weren't born...they were crafted, congealed, and set on a path of righteous fury. They were never given a choice, only the cold looming shadow of a power far greater than them when they decided to condemn the evolutionary design and man handled into existence their own path of 'heroism'. Now, these walking anomalies patrol the glass and grime skyline of Haem city, a place where chrome and corruption reek havoc side by side. Where sin and silicon are separated by a gap of letters and not materialistic gain. The mutagens call themselves saviours, the Authority calls them property and the villains refer to them as misguided. They were made to serve humanity, when they were never humans themselves. Welcome to the future, it's much colder than you think.

Grin And Bear It

16 parts Ongoing Mature

Michael only ever wanted to be liked. To make people happy. For the most part it was easy. With a healthy childhood he gladly gave himself away and molded his life to fit everyone's expectations. A good boy who did as his mother told and followed where his father lead. Where his life went didn't matter. It was useless to him. All he cared about was pleasing those around him. Anything else in between was just to receive the small gesture of a smile from everyone he met. And so that childhood came and went at the mercy of others. As he grew older so did the thin tightrope he traversed to balance his growing unhealthy desires. With his easy high school years coming to a close his life slowly unravels without him realizing. Pulled in every direction he's entangled in the expectations he once craved. Not sure which path to travel anymore it's only a matter of time before the strands finally snapped. He grasps desperately for the one thing he believed he wanted, only to find what he truly needed is already out of reach. {Prequel in the "Living To Exist" series}
