[COMPLETED] How can a Mutant and a Mutant Caretaker fight for their love, if science is their greatest enemy? ------------------------ Year 2023: Random DNA mutations suddenly occurred around the world. These mutations caused newborn babies to acquire animal traits, and no one knows why or where they originated. Year 2033: When funds, advanced technology, and a capable workforce became available to study these mutants, a national team of scientists was formed, called the "DNA Mutation Cadre" or "D.M. Cadre". They were given modern, state-of-the-art laboratories complete with equipment and isolation rooms. Here, mutants were studied and monitored in exchange for a large sum of money and government assistance. Year 2048: In the busy city of Makylee, a 25-year-old part-timer, Lia Brentvale, got fired from her two part-time jobs in just one unlucky day. Since her parents aren’t around, she’s the breadwinner of her family, providing for her two college brothers. She applied as a Mutant Caretaker in the D.M. Cadre Research Facility and after passing their exam, she was assigned to the mysterious and aloof vulture mutant. But as she got to know him, she also learned more about D.M. Cadre. Together with her hacker friend and their batchmates, they tried to uncover the deep secrets that lie within the research facility. ------------------------ PREVIEW: Aesop had always felt that being a mutant is a curse. But upon meeting Lia, he started accepting himself. Lia was always pointing out his strong points. She was always encouraging him to enhance his skills and discover his talents. She always tells him not to think of himself as a test subject just like how the scientists treat him. She reassured him that even though he's a mutant, he's not less than a person, so he shouldn't look down on himself. It was her uplifting words and her mere existence that gave color to his monochrome life. "Lia… I love you," Aesop uttered as his golden eyes stared through her deep blue eyes. "Ae, I… I love you, too," Lia then wrapped her arms around Aesop's neck, drawing in close to him. Aesop's hands slid down to Lia's lower back, and he embraced her. Their heartbeats quicken as their lips graze against each other. Lia thought it would be just a simple kiss, just like they had always done after their very first kiss, but she was wrong. Aesop's right hand suddenly caressed her back, then he placed it at the back of her head, pulling her to him with a little force. The vulture mutant's majestic wings enveloped them, and it was as if he was owning her. Aesop's wet tongue slid into her mouth, and it surprised her. She tried to resist, but with his hand at the back of her head, she couldn't get away from him. Eventually, she gave in to that passionate kiss... NOTE: Not a superhero story, but tackled more of science ethics and social issues ------------------------ UPDATE: Added CFMM Special - The Afterstory chapters after the Finale.

"You blackmail me, you kiss me, and now you want to date me?" He raised a brow. "Fake date, of course. You think I am interested in you?" I let out a deep sigh. "I wouldn't be in this mess if you hadn't kissed me in front of everyone." He shrugged. "Well, I wouldn't have if you weren't obsessing over your brother."

Astra was a gay man. A solid top, a seme, the real deal. Unfortunately, he transmigrated into a BG harem novel. The Journey was a popular web novel based on an intergalactic setting. The whole book was filled with the straight romance between one male lead and his harem of beauties. The male lead of the novel was actually over 30 years old, but after consuming a secret medicine his body regressed back to that of a teenager. The male lead was the perfect mix of shy and mature, passionate and innocent — all at the same time. No other person could unify all those conflicting traits as well as the male lead did. Needless to say, the male lead was exactly Astra’s type. If only Astra could, then he would. But the author had told Astra: There’s no way for you to un-transmigrate yourself, this is a harem novel, the world setting doesn’t even have ‘gay’ in its vocabulary and on top of that, you have to remain in character at all times. And what kind of character was this Astra from the book? Nicknamed ‘Sunny’, known for being sweet but kind of dumb, the male lead’s best buddy, a loyal little underling for the mighty male lead. And worst of all – straight as they come. And so, every time he witnessed the male lead’s domineering aura while wiping out the bad guys, Astra would pay his due respects and act along with the rest of the crowd: “You’re so awesome!” But in his head, Astra would definitely be thinking: Damn this slutty little thing, everytime he cooks he’s gotta wear that apron and tie it so tight around his tiny waist. A waist that was small enough for Astra to wrap his hands around. … For a gay man, Astra has always had pretty good luck with the ladies. In a bar: Wen (ML) watched as a woman with heavy makeup flirted with his best buddy. His face darkened as the violent storm of emotions in his heart threatened to burst forth. For a moment, Wen wondered if his controlling and possessive instincts were getting a little out of control. It took awhile for him to realize that he was actually jealous of that woman. But Astra, the one who turned him so weird in the first place, was actually an idiot who didn’t understand a thing — how could the idiot Astra know of the effect he had on Wen? ______________________________ Tags (from original author): #After making the male lead gay I’m pretending that I’m straight and that nothing happened between us# #seme’s POV# #seme likes to leave uke hanging# #possessive lover# #not a rebirth novel_male lead’s body became biologically younger# ----##---- PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS NOT MY STORY!

Camille Pierce never would have thought that a single mistake in her quiet vintage printing shop would turn her life completely upside down. She was perfectly content with the smell of old paper, fresh ink, and her private sketches. But when she accidentally discovers a massive corporate secret she shouldn't know, she is dragged directly into the office of Manhattan’s most ruthless, untouchable CEO. Dante Vance doesn't believe in romance. He looks at people strictly as assets or liabilities. Facing a brutal family crisis that threatens his multi-billion-dollar empire, he needs a flawless shield to present to his grandfather. He needs a fake fiancée who can follow his strict rules without catching feelings. The terms of the contract are simple: One diamond ring. A massive payout. Absolute obedience. But behind closed doors, his cold, unapproachable walls make the game impossible to play. One minute he is attentive, and the next, he completely shuts down. Camille frowned, stepping closer to the island. "We were just talking in the car. We were actually communicating. Why do you suddenly shut down the second your family is mentioned? I’m the one who has to face them on Sunday too, Dante. I have a right to know what's happening." Dante stopped typing, his hands resting flat against the marble. He slowly raised his cold grey eyes, his jaw tightening as the ice returned to his voice. "In public, it's a game. This is reality. Just be ready for Sunday.
