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?

Alexia Lambre, Teenage Telekinetic: The School
Alexia Lambre had never been a truly 'normal' girl, because she had always had the added 'bonus' of telekinesis. At least, some might call it a bonus. Alexia would call it a curse, because throughout her entire life she worried about someone finding out about it and taking her away. Someone did find out about it, but not the government like she assumed would happen. She was soon offered a place at what was called 'The School,' a place for people like her to learn about their powers. When she arrived though, she learned otherwise. She makes friends with the other kids, and they all join up against the scientists at the school, those that like to do tests and even experiments on them. Will the group ever escape the school? Or will the appearance of a new teen and 'experiment C' do them in?Completa
These Alien Dragons (version 1.0)
(Note: This is the old version. It is preferable if you read the current/new version.) For all their life, J. Pappas has been a reader and a writer. 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.Completa
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. "If those 'things', get in the wrong hands. Things are going to become worse then it already is."Completa
Meant to be - a Descendants story (Bal)
Once upon a time, in a kingdom known as Auradon, lived a young prince. He was one of the most kind and caring princes the kingdom ever had. He cared about everyone, even the ones no one thought were actually worth caring for. One day, the month before his coronation, he made his first proclamation. He wanted to give the children of the villains his father had abandoned to the isle of the lost, an equal chance in Auradon. And so he invited four villain kids to Auradon Prep. Mal, daughter of Maleficent; Jay, son of Jafar; Carlos, son of Cruella de Vil; and Evie, daughter of the Evil Queen. Most people thought they would be just like their parents; evil, vicious and cruel. But Ben was convinced that even those who were raised to be villains had a good heart. And he wasn't wrong about that. It came with some struggles, but they found their place in Auradon too. After his coronation he decided that more kids had to come over, as the first four proved that they could live just like other Auradoniens in the kingdom, amongst the other citizens. He didn't really know them well personally, but only heard good stories about them and that was proof enough for him. It sounds like this was a happily ever after, but our story is only beginning now... *I do not own any of these characters*Completa
