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!

With Bucky's ass so tight around his cock, Thor allowed himself to enjoy the rising wave of his climax before it hit. Then it was upon him and everything crashed down. It was almost like a physical weight on him as his cock began to rocket jizz inside Bucky's body, the omega as accepting and willing as any other Thor had had, but with a fierceness that outclassed the rest.

One hand moved to Bucky's leg, slid down the sinewy muscles to catch at the inside of his knee. The soldier didn't need Thor's hand there to keep him close, but the god liked the way his palm wrapped around the iron strength of his calf. Even as Thor tried to bury himself deeper inside him, Bucky's scent smacked him in the face, bringing his eyes open in a flash.

A moment later, the omega is climaxing himself, and dammit if Thor wasn't going to enjoy every spurt. His free hand wrapped around Bucky's base - the soldier's cock already slick to the point of slippery. His hand moved rapidly, covering them both with the first few geysers. Thor couldn't bend his body enough to draw the other between his lips, but a shot streaked on his cheek and the next flew directly into his mouth. The sound he made was guttural and possessive.

Tight fist flew up and down Bucky's length, needing every drop out of him before Thor knew he could start on his next task - working a second, dryer orgasm out of the omega while his own cock continued to pulse inside, his come rippling out of his slit, shocks of pleasure dancing over his nerves.

Getting off on the first mating doesn't usually happen; a happy accident at best that Bucky sure as hell won't complain about.

Bucky's arching under him, calf straining against his grip as he thrusts upwards uselessly into the air when the Alpha startles the hell out of him. He actually reaches for him, a strong, firm hand wrapping around his cock as it starts to go off with a sure grip. He doesn't expect the Alpha to actually touch him yet - figured he'd get himself off until he finally had his fill, then concern himself with the Omega, so he lets out pitched gasp that cuts off into a moan as he's jerked off rapidly, practically milking him as his hips spasm up each slide of his palm, working himself along the cock buried inside him in an obscene dance until at last, his eyes roll back and shut, before starts to go nice and easy under him

He cracks an eye open, then the other, to stare up at Thor with naked hunger as he watches the pleasure on the Alpha's face as he comes, absently nuzzling along one shoulder corded with muscle as if marking him as his.

When he feels that hard throb in the cock buried inside him, then the spurt after thick spurt of hot seed, he tightens all over like a vice keeping the Alpha there. Even if it weren't for the knot, it would be almost impossible to pry them apart now; not with his legs wound around the Alpha's hips and his arms clutching him as if to make sure he stays there. By now, Bucky's sure that no Omega's gonna come sniffing behind this waterfall; the sound and smells of the forest and water should mask them but....still. Just in case. They aren't done yet.

When Bucky's eyes reopen and come into focus on Thor, it sparked something in the alpha. Sure, he couldn't bend his body enough to suck the seed from his omega's tip, but Thor knew he could bury himself deeper if it meant getting to those lips. Bruised and swollen already, Thor's mouth was unforgiving as his own mashed against Bucky's. The alpha's tongue seemed to unroll inside the soldier's mouth, Thor working on claiming every bit of Bucky.

His hips rolled back, the knot stopping him from going far, but Thor could have sworn part of his core tried to enter the other. He felt his pelvis grind against Bucky, mouth breaking contact to pant out a groan, his climax still rolling through him. Using his forehead, Thor pushed Bucky's right arm up, snuffing and licking, hips continuing their short jack-rabbit thrusts.
