OMEGAVERSE MEME
In our world, sexual roles are commonly defined by genders -- male or female or other, by sexualities -- gay or straight, bi or asexual or in-between. But what if they were defined by something else entirely?
Alpha/Beta/Omegaverse is a fusion of fanfiction tropes and animalistic behavior. In this world, sexual roles are divided into three categories: the Alphas (the dominant, the protective and the aggressive), the Betas (ordinary humans) and the Omegas (submissive, fertile and able to carry children).
ROLES:
1 - The Alpha.
* Stereotypically type A personalities.
* Anatomically: Males have a penis; females may have a penis in addition to a vagina.
* Alphas knot their mates, meaning that the base of the penis swells and locks them inside their mate while they produce copious amounts of semen in an effort to breed.
* Strong sense of smell.
* Near an Omega in heat, they experience a compulsion to mate that is almost impossible to overcome.
* Alphas may go into rut, which is their equivalent of Omega heat, and drives them to mate.
2 - The Beta.
* Ordinary human being.
* Males have penises; females have vaginas.
* Can mate to anyone.
* Might be able to smell hormones of Omegas and Alphas, but will not be overwhelmingly affected by them.
3 - The Omega.
* Stereotypically submissive, quiet, intelligent and less physically able.
* Regularly go into heat, which involves being overcome by the urge to mate. They are unable to consent while in heat.
* May be made compliant by a bite to the neck. However, that may also induce a mating bond.
* Often regarded as second-class citizens or prizes to be won.
SITUATIONS:
1 - Bonding - Love at first sight. You've spotted your soulmate. You can smell them, you can feel them, you know that they'll be with you until the end of your days. Unless there's something between the two of you. It could be age - maybe one of you has to wait until the other has reached maturity. It could be that the bond is one-sided, and the other has yet to fall in love. It could be an unwanted bond, or society could have divided you into different places. Is your love strong enough to conquer?
2 - Heat/Rut - The need is coming on you strong. Everyone for a half-mile around can smell it. Better find someone to ride it out with, or hole yourself up in a room with a few bottles of water and a durable sex toy. And you'd better hope that there isn't someone out there who will take advantage of your pliable state. Best case scenario, there might be a Beta who can take care of you, or fend off anyone too predatory.
3 - Pregnancy - Whether through a heat or not, you're pregnant. Congratulations - or condolences. Is it time to start a family, or time to start panicking?
4 - Suppressants - You're using suppressants to keep yourself on an even hormone cycle, skipping heats, or maybe pretending to pass as a different class of society. After all, Omegas might want to be in the military, where they're not usually allowed - or an Alpha might want to take a job in a university or as a nurse. Shouldn't they be allowed to, if their hormones are suppressed? Just hope that you don't miss a dose.
5 - Mistaken Identity - That friend that you always thought was an Alpha, or an Omega, or a neutral Beta, turns out to be something entirely different, and your world is turned absolutely upside down. Does it challenge your preconceptions? Or does it just ruin the balance between you two?
6 - Unlikely Pairs - After all, there's no actual reason that Alphas have to mate with Omegas. Maybe two Omegas can satisfy each other. Or two Alphas. Or your intended mate could easily be a Beta. Maybe this is just about breaking out of your pre-established role and becoming something new.
7 - Manifestation - In some cases, an individual may not know they are Omega, Beta or Alpha until their first heat/rut/manifestation, usually happening in early teen years. It may take you by surprise; it may be a blessing, or may be a deep disappointment.
8 - Other - Adventures in getting jobs, making families, fighting bad guys, and anything else you can come up with!

nick is mostly just keeping to himself anyway though, taking advantage of an open bar and sipping away at some dry, fruity wine that probably comes with a price tag that would make most people's eyes water. nick, naturally, is swigging from the bottle.
or at least he is right up until someone grabs him. )
I don't think it's any of your business.
( he spits back, irritable as much because he's having to explain himself at his own family's party as he is the fact that he can already smell the man behind him, and it's making him a little weak at the knees.
nick reaches out blindly to get the bottle down on the nearest available flat surface, eyes briefly slipping shut when he inhales sharply, and he brings his hand up to grab loosely at the arm around his neck. )
What are you doing here? I'd know if someone this friendly had been invited before.
no subject
Now though he feels on edge and he knows there's no pulling himself back. He's not sure he could find control now if there was a gun to his head. ]
It was my business when I was hired to patrol the event.
[ Except already he is beginning to realize the mistake he's made and just how bad this could be. No, how bad this is going to be.
Strong fingers pulse against Nick's throat, hating the layers of clothes between them already as he nuzzles at the back of his neck. Imagining how it would be to sink his teeth there, to bite and bleed and claim even as he knotted this beautiful omega and made him realize everything he was made for. ]
Security.
[ Moving away before he puts a claiming bite on his boss' kid, his lips caressing Nick's ear before he bite quick and sharp at the edge of his ear. ]
I was hired to protect what was most precious.
[ They had meant the ceremony but for him, in this moment, that is Nick. ]
What the hell are you doing wandering around unclaimed and smelling like you haven't had an alpha fuck you right ever?
no subject
hooking up with the security detail that's probably at least halfway here to stop him from "embarrassing the family" certainly meets the criteria for annoying spanner in the works. )
I'm sure I have an invite somewhere.
( there's the fact that he thrives on being difficult, but then there's teeth at his ear too and nick's mouth falls open around a sharp inhale. there's the fact that all he can smell is desire and it makes him want to bend himself over ready to be taken right here, where anyone could walk in. he doesn't, nick has some self-control, but he does push his body back flush against the other man's shamelessly, with a subtle grind of his hips just to see how interested he might be. )
Plenty fuck me well enough, ( he grins as he responds, reaching back until he can hook his hand around the back of madoc's neck. ) do you think you could do it better?
no subject
Which should be more than enough incentive to stop him. Except he can't bring himself to stop. Legendary willpower has met its match in the intoxicating scent of the boy in his arms. He's royally and fully screwed.
Especially when Nick's body presses to his, feeling the rocking of his hips and unable to hide the hard length of his cock as he grinds himself back against Nick's ass. He's so slight, feeling all sharp lines against Madoc's muscular form and that just makes him ache for him more. ]
I know I can do better but I'm not sure a mouthy brat like you would know the difference.
[ Shifting his weight to be able to nudge the door closed, making a mad choice in that moment. There's a million things he should be thinking about.
Others could hear them. He doesn't know if this kid is on birth control. He's already showing how much control he's lost and there's nothing in him that wants to rein it in. He just wants Nick.
His teeth graze Nick's throat, nipping at skin he wants to bite harder. Instead leaving a series of sharp nips on his skin as he moves with him, fairly picking him up off his feet as he moves towards the bed. ]
