Alpha/Beta/Omega

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!

[There's some discomfort as Khan pushes deeper, but it's mild compared to the bites from earlier. Pleasure races along his spine, and Jim lets out a sharp moan as Khan reaches something wonderful inside him.

This time does put the effort to lift his head up and stare down at Khan, settled between his legs. He can definitely get used to seeing this.]

[He looks up at him, expression rapt with the studious focus he turns on just about everything.]

How is it? Tell me what you're feeling?

It's great. I knew it was good but I didn't realize it was that good.

[He bites his lower lip to keep from asking for more and tries to push against Khan's finger. It was great but it wasn't enough.]

It gets better. You have so much potential to feel.

[Promising, rubbing deeper, pressing almost cruelly.]

And you're going to get just filthily wet. I don't think you can really imagine.

[Jim presses his head back against the bed and lets out a long groan. There's so much sensation coming from so little touch but the intensity of it is almost painful. He can feel how slick it's getting between his legs.]

Khan.

[There's a pleading tone as he says the name, and Jim's not sure if he wants Khan to let up or do more.]

[He smiles up at him, and works his fingers just a little bit deeper, but starts to be a little more gentle, brushing, rather than wracking sensations out of him.

Whether it's merciful or not is really up in the air.]

Don't be nervous.

I'm don't get nervous.

[The lighter touches are enough to still pull the occasional groan out of him, and he grabs fistfuls of the bed covers. The little waves of pleasure are great but they aren't enough and Jim wonders if there even is a middle ground, or if he cares.]

That might be true. You certainly are foolhardy enough that I wonder.

[He admits, drawing his hands away. He reaches and grabs him by the knees, instead, spreading him obscenely wide, giving him a taste of the bone-deep ache of what it's like to be held at his mercy.]

[Jim's retort dies on his lips as Khan pulls away and puts him in an extremely open, vulnerable position. He writhes slightly in his grip before settling down. It's uncomfortable, because he is not that flexible, but worse is the loss of the fingers inside him.

He's breathing more heavily, and lets out a frustrated groan.]

Khan.

I have a weakness for you chanting that.

[He admits, freely, leaning up to kiss his inner thigh, to lap a little at the slick spreading on his skin.

Sex was much less sanitized, in his day.]

I'll- I'll keep that in mind.

[He squirms a little more at the feeling of Khan's warm tongue on him, and bites his lip again. Jim closes his eyes and takes deep breath, trying to ride out the building need until Khan decides to touch him or bite him again.]

When you're in a heat, this will rush out of you in floods- you'll soak through sheets. I won't be much better, though my contribution ends up mostly locked inside. They're messy, so much so we used to have services that would rent out and then launder the linens. It was important to work to avoid dehydration.

[Reminiscing, or maybe promising, depending on how you look at it. He reaches down and rubs his fingertips over him again. His teeth worry, almost tenderly, at one of the tendons near his groin. He can't resist.]

We're not allowed to have cycles on a ship. That's for shore leave.

[Which... technically he could have a heat now if he wanted to and not be in violation of regulations, but he's never cared much about regulations anyway. Still, he doesn't want his entire bridge crew being driven insane.]

You realize you're talking about laundry while you're fingering me?

[The biting and fingers make his voice a little unsteady towards the end.

This is a cultural exchange, captain. I want to give you a sense of how it was for us, and that's all in the details.

[But he bites again, a warm reward for the cheek.]

Can you imagine that much urgency, your body reacting like that? Just getting the shivers, a fever of want, and provoking the same in everyone around you just with a breath? One scent of you, and my control would snap.

I'm not-

[The bite draws a pleased groan that interrupts his response.]

Not captain in bed. You have too much control right now. What's it like for you, the smell of an omega in heat.

It's a sensation I always associate with the splintering sound of wood. One of my most formative memories was coming home to the scent, finding a door between us, and hitting it with my shoulder rather than using the knob, I was that desperate to fly to her. We were very young, we hadn't timed things quite right, or I'd never have been away from her side that long, so close to her peak.

[Explaining, reaching out and wrapping around his cock this time, starting to stroke him idly.]

That's what it's like- a general impatience and inarticulacy, coupled with strength, protectiveness, urgency. Heats are most dangerous for unintentional intruders. Walk in on the wrong moment and an alpha may try to snap your pretty neck.

[Jim presses gratefully into the hand touching him.]

Most hotels and apartments in the city have special air scrubbers. For privacy, and avoiding violent situations.

[the thought of making Khan come undone like that is appealing, but doesn't seem like the best idea in the world, even to Jim.]

There are synthetic pheromones, did you know that? They're banned from recreational use.

This place does. A heat would put them to the test, of course, but right now, no one knows you're in here, or how good you're being for me.

[Purring to him, before slipping two fingers into him again, intent on working him up a little further while his body comes to settle over him.]

[The fingers elicit a soft, pleased noise from Jim, and he puts his hands on Khan's chest to do a little exploring of his own.]

Khan.

What do you need? Is the sensation shaping into anything concrete?

[He asks him, as he finally consents to sit up, to strip off his shirt and settle back down over him, bare chested.]

[The feeling of skin against skin is what he wanted, and he runs his hands over Khan again. Jim nuzzles against him.]

I need to feel you inside me, and pressed against me. I want to feel your teeth again.

[What he wants feels like it goes against the kind of person he's been trying so hard to be, but he can't deny the part of him that craves the dominance and safety of an alpha.]

I know you do. I know what you want, and I'm going to give it to you. You spend so much of your life working so hard, and being so bright and strong, but while you're here all you have to do is be good for me and let me make you feel.

[He reaches down and takes his cock in hand, nudging one of Jim's legs up so he can play over him, tormenting him a few seconds longer.

[The teasing draws a frustrated whine from Jim.]

Fuck. I'll be good just fuck me already.

[there's a hint of desperation in his voice.]

The nice thing about heat is that you'll never meet an alpha who has the willpower to make you beg. You'll be bent over and fucked before you can remember your own name.

[Just like he pushes into him now.]

Yes. Khan.

[this is what his body has been longing for, the need that nothing else could meet. Jim tilts his head back and to the side, inviting another bite.]
