The word vestigial essentially means something like unused, or more specifically, no longer needed but kept due to evolution.
Amelia Berton has a strange genetic quirk. She is descended from birds. Or, well, one particular bird.
Somehow, some owl DNA got into her bloodline. It's never made much of a difference, though.
Until Amelia is exposed to gamma radiation, causing her cells to mutate.
She now has a pair of vestigial wings. Great. They're useless.
Or are they?

Feathers of Anarchy (Countryhumans!Wings AU)
Every countryhuman has their own unique pair of wings, different patterns, different colors... If one is born wingless, then they'll be met with a brutal reset. Each countryhuman's wings are also associated with a type of power. Ice, water, fire... You get it? But over the centuries, there is always a legend about the one winged countryhuman, that could cause forever chaos and havoc with just a touch from its feathers. Of course, they wouldn't allow that type of power to be obtained by such a lower tier person, who knows what they could do with that power? So they gave him a reset, a reset that'll change his life, forever. ... Sometimes countries would try to show dominance over others, while others would rather hide to avoid getting caught up in those situations. But there's one thing that always kept them in check, something that kept them in line. The punishment of losing their wings. Sure they'll still be alive, but they can't regrow their wings, and even worse, their power comes from their wings as well. Read the story to find out the rest, then you'll find out the main problem.

They have written about many things - cats, owls, humans, and dragons; they've read stories about distant futures, fantastic worlds, and epic adventures. But now a new genre of literature has arisen - "woke" literature. This type of literature has erased the memories of those old stories that J. and past generation loved to read, infecting those who read it with ideologies than wonder. And worse, the next generation is being exposed to its horrors. J. had to do something to combat this. And so, they wrote and wrote and wrote. Story after story after story. Many weren't working, but one stayed in their head. This is that story - a distant planet that mimics our times, but it not ruled by humans. It is ruled by dragons, and humans are the aliens of that planet.Complete
