❝He is more of a man than you'll ever be!❞

'Synthetics' they call them; robots specifically designed to do exactly what humans can do, but better.

Some people fully utilise these appliances for the purpose they were built for, others are bitter about being all but replaced by mechanical look-a-likes. 

Charlotte Bennett just wants to find the Synths who took her father...and kill whoever owns them.

a.k.a
in which Charlotte Bennett discovers that there is in fact more to (some) Synths than meets the eye.

The Greater Universe by SammyR1978
28 parts Complete Mature
Max lives a very solitary life for a kid in a penthouse on Mars, and all they've ever wanted is to see Earth. And maybe to see their family more too. They at least get one of those things the summer after they turn sixteen, but spending the next few months on Venus with their aunt, uncle, and beloved cousin comes with a price; their parents are getting divorced. Not that it matters to them. It really shouldn't matter to them. It DOESN'T matter to them. The summer's already started off a little rocky, and it only gets more confusing from there when Max arrives on Venus to discover that their extended family has taken in two aliens the same age as themself and their cousin, and suddenly, Max doesn't fit in. Not that they aren't used to that. They really SHOULD be used to that. Somehow, they still aren't. As Max struggles to convince their cousin's new friends that they're more accepting than most humans, something strange starts happening in the little Venusian city, something that leads to Max and this ragtag group of strangers - that they're beginning to consider their family - going on an extraordinary adventure, learning the truth about many untold secrets, and possibly even uncovering an ancient intergalactic war...

LEGACY CHILD by jan_claremont
27 parts Complete Mature
Abriel Brighton exists solely to give birth to genetically perfect children-a role she has no interest in fulfilling. Created by the scientists who originally settled on and colonized a dead planet with the intention of terraforming it, she belongs to a breed of genetically altered humans designed to safe-guard humanity's DNA. Living in a protected underground society called Urbine's Crescent, she and others like her are to be retrieved once the surface is ready for habitation. However, they've been waiting a long time. Long enough that the idea of the surface world has faded into legend. When Abriel's father is murdered, she finds herself thrust into a conflict where all motives are suspect. As a scout and pair-bonded with a telepathic dog-like animal that's native to the planet, she struggles to determine the responsible party. Instead, violence escalates to the point where law becomes meaningless and she's stripped of all power. Worse, Abriel discovers the Crescent leadership is systematically destroying the only home she's ever known and her enemies are probably her only allies. When a stranger named Porter arrives, claiming to be from the surface and delivering the message that the planet is terraformed and ready to support human life, she has no choice but to believe him. Without his help, the Crescent won't survive. But with it, they just might be able to remake their entire world.
