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!

His name again is what does it, and he bites at her lip, thrusting in hard, grinding in against her as he does, growling as he draws back and looks sightlessly down at her. "Mine."

Going through a rut was one thing; either with a beta or alone, but this? Jesus, this was how it was supposed to be. This was him and her, alpha and omega, lock and key.

[bestavocado]

She sucks in a breath and clenches around him at that, instincts screaming at her that this is right, perfect, that this is her alpha and he's perfect and she's his. He thrusts into her again and fuck, she's coming with a long moan, shaking with pleasure but still nowhere near satisfied.

[lawyerbyday]

She might be coming, but he wasn't. Not yet. Not until he had her ruined under him. But there was a notice stirring in the base of his groin, something indicating something he'd only felt once before and shouldn't have been so surprised to feel at that moment. "Shit, Foggy, I'm... turn over." Because his secondary swelling was going to happen any moment and he'd be locked in her, and he had an instinctive urge to be draped over her from behind when that happened.

[bestavocado]

She doesn't know why he's asking, yet, and a part of her wants to stay like this because she likes being able to see his face, but right now her body's pretty much marinating in hormones telling her to do whatever her alpha wants, anything, just so long as he keeps fucking her. So she does, even if she gives a quiet, unhappy whine when he slips out of her a little as she twists around.

[lawyerbyday]

It was only for a moment, his body between her legs again, his cock prodding at her before sliding into her a bare fraction before she'd settled. He shifted up, thrusting into her even as he draped himself along her back, an arm going under her hips to lift her up as he started a fast, hard pace, trying to fight past that tingling that was threatening to break over him. "Foggy," he panted, teeth nipping at her neck, forgetting those thoughts of playing by the rules. She was his. His omega. His friend. His mate.

His teeth sank in to leave a deeper mark as he thrust one last time, his cock swelling and knotting them together, stretching her even wider.

brb starting the Foggy freakout countdown

[bestavocado]

As he bites her, there's a moment of - something, not panic but the faint knowledge that a line was just crossed, but it's quickly replaced with the feeling of being wanted, claimed, and then there's no room for anything but overwhelming pleasure as he knots her. "Matt, Matty - "

Never

[lawyerbyday]

It's almost painful, but only almost, the pleasure as he comes making his breath catch in his throat, his arm around her, holding her hips up against him, his body curved over her, shuddering for a moment before he can let the air trapped in him out in a rush. His. She's his. He's going to stay in her for the rest of the damn night, but she's his.

she gave him like one limit!!

[bestavocado]

The feeling of him coming in her is just - fucking addictive, and maybe it's the heat (it's partly the heat) but she feels like she could stay like this forever, with Matt in her and around her and filling her up. It's perfect.

It doesn't last forever, though, and she starts to collapse down into the mattress a little, her body ready for a break from a job well done now that they're tied together and she's full of his come.

it was a stupid limit.

[lawyerbyday]

He's careful as he lowers her down, knowing that he can't tug free yet, knees spreading her legs wider as he lays over her. He can't withdraw, but he can grind in against her, kissing along the back of her neck, over her shoulders, making hungry little sounds as he keeps grinding and rocking, continuing to empty in spurts inside her.

rude.

[bestavocado]

The way he's moving against her sets off sparks of contented pleasure in her, less urgent now that she has what her body needed. She really wants to kiss him right now but it's too awkward an angle, so instead she fumbles a hand behind her, looking for his so she can grasp hold of it.

only because she wants it.

[lawyerbyday]

He can feel her moving, reaching for something, and his hand comes up to find hers, lacing their fingers together and holding it up near her head. His other arm braces him over her by his elbow, his body still moving slowly, languidly against hers as he licks along the middle of her back, nuzzling up into her hair and feeling utterly content in a way he hadn't thought possible.

yeah but she was trying to be responsible. also lol Foggy: master of pillow talk.

[bestavocado]

She thinks, hazily, that this is just... so much better than what she'd expected to be doing for this heat. A+ first go, looking forward to the next round, no regrets - the place where he bit her neck is throbbing lightly but in a pleasant way, and it hasn't really registered beyond the instinctive level yet.

She's definitely not lucid enough yet to be held responsible when she opens her mouth, intending to say something nice or sweet or whatever, and what pops out instead is "Wow, you have a really nice dick."

pff. fuck responsibility.

[lawyerbyday]

He chuckled, kissing up along her neck to her ear, nibbling along the side of her cheek as he gripped her hand in his. He felt himself flex inside her, hissing a little at how tight she felt around him, grinding against her again. "You have a really nice everything. I'm looking forward to getting my mouth on every part of you."

Not something he ever thought he'd say to her face, even if he'd thought it a few times to himself.

[bestavocado]

She tightens around him reflexively at that, and god, it is way too early for her to start getting worked up again but apparently her body is going to make an effort. “Good plan. Think I might look forward to it, too.” Maybe even steal it and apply it to him. So many possibilities.

[lawyerbyday]

He can smell her scent getting stronger again, groaning as he feels that tingling pulse in his cock, knowing the knot was going to lessen soon and he could move more freely. But for now, he nipped down along her shoulder, brushing his cheek over her, marking her with his scent. "Might? Ms. Nelson, I think you're trying to provoke me."

[bestavocado]

"Am I?" For someone who literally has his knot in her right now and is basically high on endorphins, hormones, and his scent, she somehow managed to sound very innocent just then. "Did it work?"

[lawyerbyday]

"Well," he said, voice husky as he nibbled at her ear, "I have a very strong desire to fuck you until you're incapable of walking. And then continuing to fuck you until you beg me not to. And then... I might just keep going."

a moment of silence for how sore Foggy's going to be after this.

[bestavocado]

"Oh," she says faintly, and there goes that clarity of thought she'd just been starting to regain. She hadn't really been aware that her body could start going back into need to get fucked right now mode so soon after the first round that they're still tied together, but there's always something new you can learn about yourself, or something.

He'll kiss it all better.

[lawyerbyday]

He felt his erection start to lessen, that swelling going down so that he was able to move in her a little more, gliding inside her and flexing upward, bracing himself up still and nudging one of her knees up higher. "What are your thoughts on riding me?"

good.

[bestavocado]

She clenches around his dick at the question, feeling breathless and too warm and okay, yeah, this is definitely happening again already. "I'm pretty much for it." A lot. A lot for it.

[lawyerbyday]

He could get on board with that. And to keep her still attached would take a little manhandling. It would have to start with him getting to his knees and drawing her up with him, keeping her back to his chest. "Good. Then how about we start now...?"

[bestavocado]

She's not feeling coordinated enough to help much, so she lets him do most of the re-arranging and just makes sure she gets her legs folded on either side of his lap so she can actually move. His knot hasn't gone down enough for her to do much more than rock down onto him, but it's a start. A really good start.

[lawyerbyday]

When she moves down on his lap as they're sitting there, it's enough to make him just pause, just take in that feeling of her pressed against him, her weight pulling her down on him as he gives a little push of his hips upwards against her. "I could actually do this all day."

[bestavocado]

"Good, cause we might - " she starts to say and breaks off for a moan as he pushes up into her and she rolls her hips down against him. It takes her a moment to pick the thought back up again. " - we might be."

[lawyerbyday]

"We will be. God, you feel so good. You smell so good." His nose buried in against the crook of her neck again, his hips grinding up against her slowly as the swelling of his cock went back to something resembling a normal, non-rut erection.
