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!

[ Jackson gasps as Scott lifts his other leg, holding him off the ground, and in reflex, Jackson is hitching his knees into McCall's hips, though he knows it's almost unneeded -- werewolf strength makes supporting Jackson's body weight easy. He kisses Scott back, unable to help himself, just needing this so badly. His lips are almost pleading, because he's so hot, he feels like he's burning alive and the feral part of him knows that an Alpha can make it better, that Scott is everything that he needs, and he just needs him to fill the slick depths of his waiting hole.

And then Scott is pressing in and Jackson moans, pressing into the kiss, intoxicated by the feeling of it, how Scott's thick cock stretches him, pushes in so deep Jackson's shaking from the feeling as the other boy's hips press flush to he curve of Jackson's ass. He moans heatedly, his body leaning into the claws that dig into his hips. He just needs this, needs to feel Scott filling him, fucking him through the heat that's claiming him. He's offering his body as best as he can; arching and whimpering and begging softly for Scott to fuck him with the sounds that he makes.

He flushes at the comment and nods, although it seems obvious. There's a difference between Lydia's dildos and being impaled on McCall's cock. ]

[This was definitely a side of Jackson that Scott had never seen before, and he was sure it was just because the omega was in heat, that as soon as it wore off he'd go back to being the jackass that he always was, and he wouldn't give Scott the time of day other than to belittle him. For the moment though, he was so in love with the way that Jackson was kissing him hungrily, begging him for this. It made his chest feel tight, because he can't deny that there was an attraction to Jackson that he'd always felt. That the guy was everyone's type, and specifically his.

He groans against Jackson's lips, holding still for a moment as he tries to adjust to the exquisite tightness around his shaft. It was incredible, and he'd never felt something so tight and hot and fucking perfect around his length, that werewolf strength or not, his knees almost give out from under him due to how good it feels.

After a moment, he finally sighs and relaxes enough to move, just rocking against Jackson for a moment with slow, shallow thrusts. He's afraid that if he goes too fast too soon, Jackson's needs or not, he'll cum too quickly.]

[Jackson's shaking from the feel of it, from how Scott feels inside of him, filling him and stretching him open and it draws this horrible whine from his lips. It was exactly what he needed, what he ached for. And while he'd never admit to it... he wanted Scott. Behind the snide comments and smug arrogance, he liked him. He tried not to; he didn't want to like the goofball werewolf, but Scott was somehow alluring.

Scott stays still, and it makes Jackson squirm, aching for him to move, to fuck him. His body needs it, needs to be taken, and even when he starts moving, it's not enough. Short and shallow, and he wants it deep and hard, he wants Scott to make him scream, and he can't help those whimpers that slip from his lips as the Alpha moves into him. His body is maddeningly slick, makes it so easy as Scott moves inside him. He grits his teeth, biting his lip and he growls.]

If you don't at least fuck me like you mean it, McCall, I swear...

[There's no end to that threat. He just needs it, needs him, please.]
