THE ALPHA/BETA/OMEGA 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).

CONTENT WARNING: Below the cut contains descriptions of animalistic sexual behavior as applied to humans, situations of dubious consent, explicit situations, mpreg, and scenarios of societal oppression. Click with caution!

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.
* Female anatomy is similar to Betas; males are self-lubricating and may have either an external or internal vaginal setup.
* 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!

"Not worse," she says, although she guesses you could say that, looking at it from a certain point of view. "Just... faster. I guess my body figures, you're here, it's good to go."

Watching him tapping around makes her realize she hasn't actually given him the rundown on the room yet. "Bed's about ten steps in front of you. Kitchenette to the left, with a table and chairs. Couch on the right. Bathroom's on the right, too."

"Right." He didn't need it, but he was still clinging to his own lie, and he headed for her voice, moving to shrug out of his jacket, holding it folded over his arm between them that would, hopefully, cover the fact that he was tenting his pants. "Thanks. What, ah, what... would you like to do now? Talk? Put your things away?"

Fuck you until I forget my own name comes to mind, and wow, okay. It might still be a little early in her heat for that to be her reflexive first instinct, but then... it's Matt. She'd be lying if she said she needed to be approaching heat to think something like that about him. It's just that it's never been such an actual possibility before.

And even though she doesn't say it out loud (or anything, honestly, because the rest of her thoughts sort of blanked out just now and she can't think of any other answer), the spike in her heart rate and scent kind of say it for her.

He easily picks up on her pulse, and on the spike in her scent. There's a small almost-whine that leaves him, and he moves to toss his cane and jacket off over near the foot of the bed, stepping in until he was right in front of her. Not touching her. Not yet. She had to make the first move -- those instincts were ingrained in him; he might be the alpha, but the omega had to accept him. "Are you... thinking something specific?"

It's really hard to think, all of the sudden, and she's not even truly in heat yet. It's the pre-heat and the renewed realization, beyond just having an alpha to see her through her heat, that Matt is something she can have, at least for the next few days. That's what's putting all the static in her brain, not just the awakening biological urges.

She closes the little bit of distance still between them and kisses him, more gently than you'd expect from someone going into heat.

There's a rush of relief that floods him, tangling up with that need and desire that's making him keep his hips a little away from her as his hand comes up to cup her cheek. He kisses her back, a first kiss between them that he hadn't ever thought would actually be a reality beyond a few fantasies alone in his dorm or shower.

It was better than thinking of her. Her taste was sweet, her skin making him crave touching her more, and he was struggling to keep that rising need at bay, wanting to savor this, to enjoy everything she was willing to share with him. Part of being an alpha was adjusting to the needs of the omega he was with, so his drive insisted that he follow her lead.

Her commitment to kissing him like Foggy-and-Matt instead of omega-on-the-verge-of-heat and alpha-going-into-rut lasts about fifteen seconds after getting her mouth on him. It was a valiant effort, really.

She's wet. She was before, but it's - now she's kissing him and he's warm and solid and wants her, and she needs more but she also needs to stop kissing him so she can get her shirt over her head and let it drop to the floor because she's too warm and the fabric's too much against her skin.

It was like a switch went off inside him. One minute, he was trying to keep control of himself, the next, his hands couldn't stop tugging at her pants, fingers shaking as he fumbled the button open and slid a hand down into them, past her underwear and-- "Jesus," he groaned, word lost against her lips as he kissed her more fiercely. She was soaked, his fingers gliding over her almost too easily, slipping past her folds and letting him fit two up inside her in the most silky fit he'd ever felt.

He was past hard at this point, past trying to hide it as he pulled her in against him with his other arm, kissing her like he was starving and she was his last meal.

"Fuck." It's like her brain fizzles out the second he gets his fingers in her, and it's - it feels amazing but nothing like enough, not yet. "Matty - " The word comes out pleading, though she'd be hard-pressed right now to verbalize what she's asking for.

Her legs are suddenly incredibly wobbly underneath her, and she digs her fingers into his arms, trying to steady herself.

He draws his hand out from her pants, wiping wet fingers on his own before he moves to scoop her up, not breaking that kiss because he can't stand the thought of not tasting her yet. But he's the alpha, and she's not quite able to stand properly, so what kind of asshole would he be to make her try?

He doesn't even make a pretense of not knowing where the bed is, walking over to it and crawling onto it, moving to lay her out on it even as he's leaning down with her, unable to keep from being that close to her, even just for a moment.

Her body may have been telling her that his fingers weren't enough but now she's empty and that's - she lets out a quiet, unhappy whine against his mouth, and then she's being guided onto the soft bed, which is nice, and he's there with her, which is better.

Trying to think right now is like trying to sand in outspread hands but luckily it doesn't take a lot of actual thought for her to realize that she's still wearing her pants and underwear, and that needs to change even if they're not presenting much of a barrier right now.

He's just as aware, kicking off his shoes even as he's reaching for her pants, pushing them down over her hips, pausing to run his fingers up over her sides, to cup her breast as he kisses down her chest to bite at her nipples through her bra.

The scent of Foggy mixed in with that heady allure of omega was too much for him. It drowned his senses, but he couldn't find it in himself to fight or struggle. He wanted this too much. Wanted her. Wetting her bra and sucking at her nipple through the fabric, his hands went back to pushing down her pants, trying to get them down over her ass before he cupped her crotch again.

Oh, god. She squirms on the bed, arching into his mouth and hands, and gets her hands on his shirt and tugs at it clumsily because she's not the only one who needs to be wearing less clothing right now but she's not doing too great on coordination right this second. Her bra needs to go, too, the fabric too rough on over-sensitive nipples and creating a barrier between her and his mouth and that's no good, but apparently it's more important right this second that she be able to touch more of his skin.

He can feel her trying to touch him, a growl slipping out of him to rumble around her breast. Not because he doesn't want her to, but because he's still got fucking clothes on that are in the way. He pulls off her, head tilted up at her with wide eyes and pupils that might not be able to see what he was looking at, but that were dilated from his arousal, lips red as he licked at them. "Shit, sorry. Sorry. I need... oh god. This is what it's like with an omega?"

He had clearly been missing out, and they hadn't even fully gotten anywhere yet. He could smell her on his fingers, dragging his hand up to lick at them before he moved to start tugging at his shirt, one button ripping off as his patience started to fray.

She gives a shaky laugh at his question, and if her brain was a little less fried, she might - joke or something, but right now she just doesn't have the presence of mind. While he's getting his shirt off, she works on her bra, working the hooks clumsily until they finally let go and she can toss it somewhere out of the way.

It probably won't help his coordination any if she starts kissing him again but it's not the next thing she does, surging forward because they are not touching nearly enough right now.

His shirt was off, but he was ignoring his own pants and the tent inside them at the moment to try to get hers further down. And then she had to tackle him. He fell onto his back, pulling her with him, urging her to lay down on top of him. He liked the feel of her weight, of that solid presence, and when her hair fell down over the side of his face, he felt like he was lost in a world of him and her.

A part of him still wanted to be gentle, to show her he could be, but that part was getting pushed back by his rut, his hands gripping her as if the very idea of her trying to move further away was offensive.

Luckily for both of them, Foggy has no desire to try to get away from him right now. She's way more interested in getting her mouth on his chest and fuck, okay, Matt's kind of ripped. She sort of knew that already, but there's knowing it and then there's feeling it for herself.

The stupid, shallow omega part of her brain that's currently preoccupied with mating thinks this is a great sign for their hypothetical future kids. So is that tent in his pants, and she lets one of her hands skim down his body to firmly brush her palm against it through the fabric.

He was kissing her until she moved her mouth from his, sliding it down along his throat. She touched him and he arched up into her hand, biting his lip as her name got caught somewhere in his chest with that stolen breath.

"Pants. Jesus, Foggy. Help me get them off." Because if he didn't have access to her, if he couldn't be in her soon, he was going to lose his goddamn mind.

She doesn't say anything but she does attack his belt, pulling it open a little clumsily. The zipper's easy but she's having trouble with the button, which clearly just - who the fuck even invented pants? Clearly unnecessary and way too difficult to deal with in an emergency.

She gets it after some fumbling and starts tugging both his pants and underwear down his hips.

He lifts his ass up off the bed, her tugging pulling both bits of clothing down. His cock is trapped under his boxers until they're low enough, then it springs free, bouncing up against his stomach with an audible thwacking sound. His legs are moving to shove the clothes the rest of the way down as he reaches for her, trying to haul her back up to where he is, because it's been too long since he's had his mouth on her. Or his hands.

He pulls her back up and she follows obediently, going back up to kiss him and that's good, it really is. The heat of his mouth on hers is amazing, but it's also just making her more desperate for -

Well.

"Matt," she says, and she probably already sounds like she's begging so it's for the best, really, that shame tends to disappear pretty fucking fast during a heat. "Matty, I need - please."

He can hear it in her voice -- hell, he can feel it in her pulse thudding against her skin, vibrating through his body. He rolls them over, moving to pull off the last of her clothes, tossing them somewhere off the bed. Then he's moving over her, a low growl slipping past his lips as he straddles her, knees between her thighs as he starts to nudge them apart. "Tell me what you want, Francine."

His growl sends a shiver of heat down her spine as her legs fall open easily for him, and she is just - soaked now, completely fucking ready and raring to go. "I need - " she starts and it takes way more concentration than it should to form a full thought when he's right there. "I need you in me, Matt, just - please," she repeats again, in the hopes that it will make him go faster.

He lowered himself over her, kissing her in a messy, hungry kiss even as he angled himself, hips moving so that he slid up against her from between her thighs. She was so slicked and wet right now, there was no hesitation, no friction from the head of his cock gliding into her and--

"Fuck!" It was growled out against her mouth as he thrust into her in one fluid push, pelvis slamming into hers as he filled her before he drew out just enough to thrust into her again.

"Oh, god." It's good, it's so good she can't breathe for a second, which is a shame because holy shit the way he smells right now. It's overwhelming. Evrything is overwhelming and it'd probably be too much except that every instinct she has insists that this is exactly where she belongs, underneath her alpha while he splits her open with his cock. It'd be embarrassingly gender essentialist if she had any room to think but she doesn't, so she contents herself with wrapping her legs around him instead, pulling him in even closer. "Matt."
