In Heat/Rut

[thelegendof]

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!

HOW TO PLAY

• Comment with your character and preferences.


• Include what you're interested and not interested in.


• Respond to others!

PROMPTS

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


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


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


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


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


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


7. forbidden: AKA the obligatory incest or age difference option.


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


15. 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.


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


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


18. increase in dominance: Exactly what it says.


19. increase in submission: Again, exactly what it says.


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


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


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


23. 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.


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


25. 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.


26. 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.


27. desperation: You'll take anyone! Anything!


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


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


30. 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!


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


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


33. 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.


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


35. 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.

Got 22 I hope this is cool

[kingofheaven]

Castiel would have never admitted this to anyone, but sometimes he hated being the youngest of the Host. It meant his brothers teased him and drove him mad trying to protect him when he was perfectly capable of taking care of himself.

That doesn't mean he doesn't miss them now that they are gone. So much so that the scent of them follows him everywhere. He smells Gabriel now and turns his wings spread against the sunlight as his body reacts to the closeness of another angel.

It hadn't really been anything important or new. Just some random stranger talking to her at Jungle. Though Derek wasn't there at the moment, so it didn't matter. Even if he was there it wasn't like she'd stop talking to a friend. Though she's pretty sure, after a moment, that she's being watched.

Bucky had been on blockers for a while. It kept him in check, so to speak. Something that he's needed ever since getting his memories back. Ever since becoming the Winter Soldier. It's the night that he's out with Steve that those damn blockers decide to stop working and he can't help the slight groan that escapes him.

"Maybe we should go back home, Stevie."

"What're you doing?" Danny asks feeling Ethan pressing up against his back. He tilts his head a bit and gives his boyfriend a bit of a smile. Though that's when he notices Aiden across the room from them in Jungle.

Stiles Stilinski | Teen Wolf

[betatoalpha]

There's a low, almost dangerous growl out of the true alpha. Those eyes glowing red and fangs showing, fingers turning into claws. Scott was more than upset and it showed. He was downright pissed off and just... He was going to rip out someone's throat. Unless Stiles showed up to anchor him down.

[you_know_me]

It had been like this for some time now. She'd been coming to Tony for what felt like years. Even if she knew that it hadn't been that long. However, it doesn't stop her from coming over to his part of the Tower and pressing herself against him.

[Can be either pre-TFA/TFA Bucky or Winter Soldier, let me know which you'd prefer.

No 7, no mpreg. Can be either the one in heat/rut or the one helping out. Medium to longer tags preferred, prose preferred.]

It was a destabilizing mission, which by this point was pretty routine for them. His STRIKE team was registered as being out on training exploits so as not to raise suspicions why the whole team was boarding a plane together. They picked a very important asset along the way before flying the Middle East, which was the most common area to create the kind of tension that Hydra needed for pushing the rest of the world powers uncomfortably.

STRIKE was assigned to plant explosives in vehicles around the city streets for the rally that would be happening the next day. They all moved in groups of twos, save for him who had to work alone after he had released the Winter Soldier for the primary mission of assassination of the a religious figure to enrage the other side and bring in more conflict. Once he had loosed the asset, he had planted the two explosives in his bag and then received the reports of the other members of the team.

They all briefly met up at the safehouse, which was a cement building that smelled like someone had died inside it recently. Well, judging from the stains on the floor, it might actually be accurate. Still, they had a quick debriefing on how the next day was going to work, the stations and buildings where every would be placed and when to detonate their explosives for maximum casualties. The goal was less about targeting women or children over men but instead catching the most people in the cross-fire as possible.

A quick meal, refilling their canteens and the team moved out to take up their assigned positions while he was to wait for the asset to return before he moved to his final position. He would take the Winter Soldier with him to that position because there was no going back to this safehouse.

Brock nodded at each of his men and stood half-hidden in the window as each man disappeared into the shadows of the night. He stretched his arms above his head, the audible crack of his shoulders sounding before he went about setting out the meal that would have to sustain the asset when the weapon came in to the safehouse. Crouched as he was, he dug into his pack for the rations specifically made for the Winter Soldier.

[generalflirt]

[ I'm thinking 2, 4, maybe 30 too? Do you have any specific wants or dislikes here? The sort of situation I was thinking of would be an exploration of how people are sort of normalized to this heat climate and just adapt to it - so these two have used each other to get over it mutually for a while but aren't necessarily an item they just know they can count on each other's physicality? something like that? I'm open to other ideas or modifications ]
