THE IN HEAT/IN RUT AU MEME
not an alpha/beta/omega meme

There's no need for elaborate backstories for this AU. You go into heat, rut, whatever you'd like to call it. You've always done so since you were of age to do so. It's a socially accepted norm, and people have gotten used to the difficulties that come with the mating seasons. Life goes on.

Isn't this alpha/beta/omega, then? No, not at all. In this meme, there are no gender-variant genitalia unless your character comes prepackaged with those. No giant cocks - again, unless your character is already packing - or self-lubricating assholes or anal wombs, and no knotting. Unless that's your thing. There's also no set in stone roles with regards to dominance and submission, and some people do not even feel the inclination towards either. Still, there are a few similarities, mainly being that the pheromones of others can put someone into heat that was not in it before and the bond between mates. In addition, some humans/human-stand-ins have created packlike dynamics in response, but this is not universal.

In this meme, it's just regular old human...oids feeling the urge for sex. And by "urge," we of course mean all-consuming drive. If characters choose to ignore that urge, it will backfire on them. The more they put it off, the more they will lose their control, becoming more irritable and aggressive, and eventually be nothing but a rutting animal until the need to mate is satisfied. Not all heats call for mating, of course, and most people can just relieve themselves, but when you do mate, you feel the urge to stay by their side and essentially "nest." These desires don't always pan out into offspring, and mating isn't forever unless it's mutually decided upon. However, impregnating your mate is said to be one of the most euphoric experiences a person can have, even if some people only mate because they want to utterly possess someone, as mates are bonded for a while.

If there's anything that's to your fancy that's been left out, go ahead and add it in. Play it how you'd like!

PROMPTS

first heat: Baby's first heat. YOU'RE A TEENAGER/LATE BLOOMER AND WHAT IS THIS?

old hand: You've done this a million times, but it never gets any easier.

happen to be here: You're not picky. You can't afford to be. You'll take anybody who's nearby.

old faithful: You're going to the person you always go to in order to relieve your problem.

worked something out: The two of you aren't involved. You just help each other out.

unexpected: You never expected to rut with this person, but here you are.

forbidden: AKA the obligatory incest or age difference option.

volunteer: You've offered yourself up out of the kindness of your heart.

tribute: This isn't your offer. You're the offer from others, a gift for someone powerful to sate their appetite.

mating: You've decided to go one step further and make your relationship deeper.

nesting: Aaah, (temporary) domestic bliss. And lots of fucking. Lots and lots of fucking. Like, you'll barely be able to stand.

bonding: The bond, which is mildly psychic and intensely physical, makes sex even more intense.

the natural conclusion: Heat calls for pregnancy. Get someone pregnant.

already pregnant: Unfortunately, being knocked up doesn't abate your partner's desires. Or yours.

mates for life: Now you're absolutely certain that you want to be with no one else. Of course, this means you'll be in synch with their heat for the rest of forever.

save you: You've been saved from the advances of an undesired mate by someone who may be much more suited. Show your gratitude?

cockfight: Two people want the same mate. That won't do. There are ways to figure that out, not always involving fists.

increase in dominance: Exactly what it says.

increase in submission: Again, exactly what it says.

unexpected dominance: No one expects you to ever be dominant. Prove them wrong.

protect: You want to protect your mate from others, and that means putting your scent all over them.

set off by someone else: You were doing fine until you got a whiff of someone else's pheromones.

resisting temptation: Your heart belongs to someone. You want to stay out of this "heat" thing. You want to rise above it. Whatever it may be, you just have to not take the bait. Easier said than done.

all worked up: You're beginning to lose control and yourself. Quick, do something before you're jumping anything that moves.

pack: As mentioned prior, some people, especially those far out from civilization proper, have formed packs that hold to the more traditional alpha structure. Of course, these packs come with their own rules when it comes to heat and mating.

suitable partner: The desire for certain mates can come from a subconscious level, and you can find yourself aroused by someone showing how strong they are (they can protect you), how curvaceous they look (that must mean they're fertile), or any other number of traits that can benefit you.

desperation: You'll take anyone! Anything!

final release: You've reached your breaking point and your mindless. At least you'll get relief.

fighter: Part of your process is seeing who's worthy of you by testing their mettle. That, or you want to fight anything.

off your meds: It's fairly rare, but some can get blockers for their heat. What if those blockers run out? Why, it makes your heat ten times worse!

noncon: They don't want this. You don't want to stop this.

dubcon: You say no, but your body says yes and you can't stop loving it.

calm you down: Whether it's to fuck or to fight, you're going mad, and they have to bring you back down to Earth.

territorial: How dare someone look at what belongs to you? You'll have to make things right.

odd man out: For some reason, you don't go into heat. Never have. Being with you is pretty relaxing, and some find it appealing to not have to deal with pheromones that aren't theirs. You do have to learn how to appreciate their problems, though.

WILDCARD

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ the concern that he's about to doze off is certainly always a fair one, especially considering the languid way that he sits in his chair, his head resting against his knuckles as if he's enjoying the sun in his garden, not surrounded by officials. but he has couth enough to keep himself awake, if only for the sake of appearances.

besides, he's not sure he's in the mood for a nap, which is.. odd enough, for him. but he's feeling twitchy. he knows his rut is incoming soon, but perhaps it's beginning earlier than anticipated - after this meeting adjourns, he'll surely need to excuse himself.

but ah, of course there can be no fooling a foxian's nose. the spicy scent of his rut is very faint right now, faint enough that only a foxian could detect it, so when their eyes meet, he offers her a slanted, easy smile, before glancing toward the door. the meeting is, after all, almost over. ]

[ Tingyun watches him glance toward the door and... well, she's just going to have to follow him, isn't she? There's no way she can let him suffer on his own after all.

So when the meeting adjourns, she excuses herself from further conversation with a smile and a polite nod of her head, indicating she has somewhere to be. An important meeting, she tells anyone who asks--and none dare question her. Why would they?

Waiting outside the room she's suddenly hit with that scent again, and her eyes automatically turn to the man, smirk on her face. ]

You're taking such a risk, General.

[ at long last the meeting comes to a close, and jing yuan heaves himself from his seat with a heavy sigh. thankfully, no one seems to have noticed his predicament besides tingyun - and perhaps yukong as well, given her foxian senses, but she's at least pretended not to notice. not so miss tingyun, the little rascal of a woman.

but he likes that about her. she's energetic, and feisty.

so when he finds her outside of the meeting hall he smiles, a soft laugh resonating in his chest. it's not terribly uncommon for people to seek out others for help through heats and ruts, even generals do it, so he'll take her lingering as a potential offer to assist him, for now. should she be amenable. ]

Well.. perhaps. It's a bit earlier than expected, hmm?

You should be glad no one else noticed.

[ At least, none that were willing to raise an eyebrow in his direction. ]

Might I assume you could use some... companionship?

[ She's speaking slyly even when she doesn't truly need to--his scent is all over now, and Tingyun isn't entirely sure she would leave even if she did have something to do.

Of course she opens her fan in front of her face, smirking behind it with faux-innocence in her eyes. ]

As a servant of the Luofu, of course.

A servant of the Luofu indeed.. how magnanimous of you, Miss Tingyun.

[ jing yuan's eyes sparkle as they curve into crescents, amused by her play at innocence, and how she hides her lovely face behind her fan. he hardly has to consider her offer at all, given his immediate smile, and the way he offers her his arm. ]

But you assume correctly. I would be honored to keep your company for the next few days, Amicassador.

[ his rut won't go away overnight, after all, but these days his season doesn't last quite as long as it once did. old age has its downsides. or his upsides, really, he's a busy man, and the more time he has to take off, the more pressure it puts on qingzu and the master diviner - he'll need to be back behind his desk sooner rather than later. ]

I think I can be pulled away for a few days…

[ As if she cares. He’s driving her mad already just from the thought. ]

If your home is set up, I can assist you however you need.

[ It certainly won’t be her first time helping someone get though a heat or rut. She can only hope he enjoys her presence enough to make it smooth going—and she’s excited to see what sorts of things the Arbiter General might be hiding behind all those robes. ]

Come along, then.

[ Despite her words, she stands expectantly. It’s not like she knows where he lives. ]

[ ah, her energy is so very electrifying..

jing yuan leads her through the streets, chatting idly as they walk, and it's a starskiff's ride away to the delve where his manor awaits them. it's a large and beautiful building, far too much for him, he thinks, but it was given to him when he was promoted, and he could not turn it down.

inside, it is well furnished, though it lacks a homey touch - at least, most of it does. there are a few trinkets here and there, mementos from his time with the quintet, from his youth, but he leads her past them all and to his private suite. past the antechamber is a comfortable living area, his bedroom beyond a closed door against the far wall. one adjoining wall is glassed in, with another door that leads to his private gardens, artificial sunlight streaming through, and yet another door will lead to his private bathroom. surely tingyun will enjoy the space.

once inside, he turns toward her, lifting a hand to brush the soft red-brown hair from her eyes. ]

Would my company like some tea, or perhaps something to eat? Or is she eager to begin?

[ Tingyun isn't sure what she's expecting when she enters his home and she tries not to look too obvious as she takes it in. She's never expected to be here, and it is a lot... stiffer than she would have imagined. But it's not too dissimilar from her own home on the Luofu, she supposes--it's not like she can spend much time there, really.

When he touches her, she tilts her head and mimics the motion, brushing his own silvery hair away from his face. ]

Tea after, perhaps.

[ It's no use to pretend that his scent hasn't had an effect on her, too--as light as it is, she's eager to get started all the same.

So she moves to tug at the straps and ribbons holding the front of her dresses together: layers upon layers of intricately overlapped fabrics. ]

I'm curious about your preferences in the bedroom, to be quite honest.

[ tea after, then. that's just as well. jing yuan's rut isn't so strong yet that he's losing his mind, but it's certainly on the rise, his libido increased enough that the attentions of a beautiful foxian certainly have an effect. his gaze drops to watch her delicate hands move, beginning to peel away soft, gauzy layers. his scent flares. ]

Oh? Why don't you tell me what you think they are, and we'll find out if reality aligns with your imagination, hmm?

[ jing yuan smiles, withdrawing his hand to begin shedding his own layers. his regalia is quite complicated, after all, many straps and layers comprising his general's attire. his pauldron comes off first, followed by more belts and armor, until at last he's wearing only his thick coat and trousers. ]

I'll show you what I think instead.

[ Her clothes pool to the floor and she's standing completely naked in front of him as she approaches. Tingyun tugs at his trousers and goes to toss his coat aside before she reaches for his cock, hand on his chest as she stares up at his face to gauge his reactions.

Every shift in his scent is enough to drive her further into her desire, and she's not about to let the opportunities slip past her. She wraps her hand around him and strokes--slowly--before squeezing tightly at the base and twisting her hand. ]

[ the moment she is bare to him his scent flares, his rut thickening, deepening, desire tight in his expression. tingyun is wonderfully bold, taking matters quite literally into her own hands as she approaches, divesting him of his coat and unbuttoning his trousers without further fuss.

jing yuan is not a small man. his shoulders are broad, his chest full, his body strong and well maintained. some old war scars remain, a tapestry on his skin, and his cock, even while mostly soft, is thick and large, quickly stiffening beneath her eager touch. with a hiss through his teeth, jing yuan snags her by the hip and pulls her close, arching his hips as he dips his head to brush their mouths together. ]

I appreciate that approach.

[ he murmurs, then presses their mouths together hard, the hand on her hip sliding down to cup her pert ass and squeeze. ]

[ The feel of fingers digging into her skin, the taste of his mouth on hers… if she hadn’t picked up on the scent of his rut before she certainly did now. Her fingers worked deftly as she stroked his cock and now that he’s pulled her closer, she presses her thigh between them and lets out a soft little gasp.

She kisses him back hungrily as the hair on her tail stands up, her own libido fueled by Jing Yuan’s scent. ]

You know, a few days will give us time to try new things together. Have you ever taken a strap, General? Perhaps I’ll let you ride mine.

[ Propriety dripped from her voice even though the words themselves begin to dip into vulgarity—but she’s far from finished on that front. ]

[ though jing yuan keeps a noble and serene front when seeing to his duties on the luofu, tingyun will surely soon find that behind closed doors he is as much of a mischievous brat as the rumors say. grinning, he pins her to the wall behind her, his hips snapping up into her touch. ]

Have I? Well, what do you think?

[ not a straight answer in the house, of course, but her filthy words drive him higher, and jing yuan dips his head to drag his mouth along her throat, rubbing his scent there, and inhaling her own. with easy strength, he lifts her, guiding her thighs around his hips. ]

I'm curious to hear your answer..

[ Tingyun gasps at the movement, groaning when his mouth goes to her neck. She's almost tempted to not answer, but Tingyun is nothing if not determined. Her legs wrap around his waist and she can feel herself rubbing against him, already more wet than she should be for how little they've done.

But his scent-- ]

I think you've used all sorts of toys. You've lived a long life. Surely you've tried... dildos, cock rings, ropes...

[ Was she really talking about such things with the Arbiter-General? ]

I think you like taking it from behind.

[ a sound moves in jing yuan's throat like a deep growl, pleased and predatory in equal measures, as he presses his hips against her, his cock sliding against her, through slick, wet folds. ]

My my, you think me so adventurous..

[ smiling against her throat, he rakes his teeth over her pulse. ]

You're not wrong.

[ he's tried all of those, and more, would be happy to try them again with her. for now, though, he'll take what's being offered in the moment. with his left arm curled around her to hold her up against him, his right hand moves between them, pushing the tip of his cock against her hot, waiting entrance, and beginning to push inside. ]

[ She has to admit that this isn’t necessarily going the way she expected it to—but also that she doesn’t entirely mind. The feel of his cock probing at her entrance has her gasping and she merely wraps herself around him even further, moving her hips to press him even further inside. ]

I suppose I’ll have to try everything, then. To see what you like best.

[ Head tilted to the side to allow him easier access to her throat, she tangles her fingers in his mass of hair and digs into his scalp, yanking desperately.

She’s soaking wet between his scent fueling her desire and the way he’s touching her—her walls already fluttering around his length with every movement, as if her body is begging for more as it adjusts to him. ]

[ aeons, she's so wet for him already. he's not so arrogant as to think that it's all because of him - surely much of it is due to the scent of his rut alone arousing her - but it makes things all the easier for them both. her cunt welcomes him, parting around his cock as he slides easily inside, a shiver rolling down his spine, his body tensing. ]

Mmn.. I look forward to it, Miss Tingyun..

[ he can already imagine how mischievous she will certainly be.

but for now, he begins to fuck her, pinning her to the wall with his hips as he buries his face against her throat, kissing, sucking, licking, murmuring in pleasure when her hands tug at his thick hair. his hips rock into her, both hands grasping at her lovely thighs as his cock drags inside of her, filling her up. ]
