TMZ EXCLUSIVE: F1 Star Carlos Sainz Missing from Girlfriend's 21st Birthday - Full Story
TROUBLE IN PARADISE? F1 STAR CARLOS SAINZ SKIPS GIRLFRIEND YN'S 21ST BIRTHDAY FOR BOYS' NIGHT
Pop sensation YN's star-studded 21st birthday celebration in London had everything - except her boyfriend. Formula 1 star Carlos Sainz (29) was noticeably absent from the festivities, instead posting Instagram stories of a dinner with friends in Madrid.
Multiple sources tell TMZ that Sainz COMPLETELY FORGOT about his girlfriend's birthday, leading to what insiders describe as a "major relationship crisis."
"He was posting stories and having fun in Madrid while YN was literally crying at her own party," reveals a source close to the singer. "Everyone was asking where he was, and she kept making excuses until she couldn't anymore."
The party, held at an exclusive London venue, was attended by music industry heavyweights and even several F1 drivers, including Sainz's teammate Charles Leclerc and his girlfriend Alexandra Saint Mleux, making the Ferrari driver's absence even more conspicuous.
Another source tells us that Sainz realized his mistake late in the evening when he saw social media posts about the party. "He immediately tried to damage control, but the damage was done. YN was devastated."
The 9-year age gap between the couple, which has been a topic of discussion since they went public with their relationship, is now being scrutinized again. "This is exactly what everyone was worried about," says our insider. "She's turning 21, and he's out there forgetting her birthday completely."
YN's team has not responded to our request for comment. A representative for Sainz said they "do not comment on personal matters."

A few words about the upcoming Olandy route!
First of all, want to quickly apologize for the relative quietness on my part as of late. I'm still in the middle of an international move right now and I'm officially on the final bureaucratic stage before I can physically pack up and complete the move. I've gotten quotes from moving companies, found a good service for Salvage's transport (which was a challenge in of itself) and now I'm just waiting for the final legal paperwork to process. Combined with my recent stint in hospital (my heart did something zany) and preparing for an upcoming merch campaign whose launch month was decided at the start of the year, you may see why I'm behind my own schedule. I can however confirm that work is still on-going... just slower than I'd like. However, I've taken this partial hiatus in production to think over the route and make sure it'll be as conceptually solid as I can make it.
One concern I'd like to address because I've seen it mentioned a few times is the fear that the route may veer into fan service territory in terms of characterization/scene content and I'm hoping I can put those fans at ease. I understand these concerns. The very concept of an Olandy route does seem kind of rife for this sort of thing. The thing is though, the idea for an Olandy route was a cut concept from DT's basegame, when I thinking of ways to double up characters in order to have more three-way dialogue scenes.
Obviously, given that a whole route was cut from the game, this idea ended up in the same nether-sphere as the other potential route ideas, like the Fusco route. But, this was an idea that I considered long before the Olandy ship gained popularity and that's why I was eager to tease the idea after release. I get many requests for routes with characters like Harry, Peter, which would undeniably sell well, but that I'd really have to headscratch to think of a way to make work. My point is, I'm only interested in ideas that I'm confident in.
Would Randy and Oliver completely work as partners? There's points for and against it. Do they have a strong/unique dynamic? Definitely. Randy is someone who looks to others for comfort/confidence and he's not good at dealing with things alone or without guidance. Oliver is confident in himself and very much a pack animal, who loves receiving validation/affection and feeling useful. This roughly explains why they veer towards each other even without considering stuff like romantic/behavioural compatibility.
As for the route itself, my main goal with their dynamic is to give an honest exploration of each character and to show a side of each not seen in their route, while also staying consistent to who they both are. It's important to note that this isn't just a Randy-Oliver route, but very much a Randy-Oliver-Gingi route. You shouldn't worry that the route will be sappier or more romantically heavy than the other routes as I'm actually including an option to play the route completely platonically and both options won't be too dissimilar outside of certain dialogue lines from both characters.
The key thing here is that I'm writing the route just like any other DT route and my main focus is having fun scenes where the characters talk about themselves in order to compare and contrast the differences/similarities between each character within the trio. There are scenes where Oliver is serious and confides in Gingi. There are scenes where we see Randy's insecurity/cowardice paint him in a bad light.
The DLC will also not replace either of their routes, and will instead aim to emphasis traits + backstory each character has that's kind of implied subtly in each of their routes, but not specifically outlined, to give you a more well-rounded view of each character. So, my goal is certainly not to flanderize, but quite the opposite. I want to give a deeper view on each character that's consistent with previous characterization, by further explaining why each character is the way they are and providing more context to stuff mentioned in Randy/Oliver's main routes. Oh, and advancing Gingi's character further, akin to in Roger's route.
(And before you ask, yes, I do have a similar plan for Karen later on, but I have a very specific idea of where it makes sense to put it as it's a much more involved project than a simple DLC. It will definitely take longer to pull off. But, her day will come.)
So, yeah! Obviously Roger's route took care to display the datables in their cameos with the nuance they have in the basegame. From Randy's impurity (willingness to be part of a con), Oliver potentially freaking Gingi out and being unsure of himself upon meeting it, Karen cracking a spontaneous joke (and it not landing), etc. It's important to me that I don't flanderize these characters or reduce them to their outermost traits.
I'm still not 100% confident in the route draft, but that's a given. I never am. But, I can say, I'm really excited for people to see the character stuff I have in mind for Randy, Oliver + Gingi, particularly what's revealed about both in the heart to heart in the good ending. You have a rough idea of what to expect from the route as per previous routes and while this one won't be nearly as large as Roger's route, I still wanna make it the best experience it can be for you all. Thank you! :)

Love Island — part 2
AU. Based on the TV show.

Author's note: I just wanted to take a moment to say a massive thank you for the incredible support you’ve shown for the first part of Love Island! Your reblogs, messages, and comments truly mean the world to me — I’ve read every single one with a huge smile on my face. You all make writing this series so much fun 💛
If there’s anything you’d like to see more of — whether it's certain dynamics, steamy moments, fluff, angst, or just pure drama — don’t be shy! My inbox is always open for blurb or one-shot requests.I’d love to bring your ideas to life!
⭐️ Please consider joining my Patreon -> Patreon
It’s only day two, but there’s already trouble in paradise. Y/N’s about to head upstairs to change, and of course, she’s bringing her best mate in the villa along for a little gossip session. After all, what would Love Island be without a bit of a squeak-filled chat about the latest hunk to drop in?
Y/N grabbed Chloe by the arm, a grin spreading across her face. “Come on, we need to talk!”
“Oh, spill, babe!” Chloe squeaked, and the two of them burst into laughter as they darted upstairs to the changing room. The laughter echoed through the villa as the girls nearly tripped over each other, barely containing their excitement.
Looks like someone’s eager for a debrief... but can you blame them? A certain tall, dark, and shirtless someone has all our heads turning.
The door clicked shut behind them as they found a spot in front of the mirror. Y/N rifled through her drawer, trying to look casual as she pulled out a sundress. Chloe leaned in, eyes wide with anticipation.
“Alright, so…” Chloe began, nudging Y/N with her elbow. “Harry! What do we think?”
Y/N tried to keep a straight face, but a giggle slipped out. “Oh, he’s... he’s definitely got a presence, doesn’t he?”
“Presence?” Chloe repeated, rolling her eyes. “Babe, he’s got more than just ‘presence.’ I saw the way he was looking at you. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit jealous!”
Y/N bit her lip, looking at her reflection as she adjusted her dress. “I mean, he’s fit, yeah. And the way he carries himself… I don’t know, there’s something about him.”
“Something about him,” she says. Go on, love, you can admit it—you’ve already got it bad! But what will Tom think if he catches a whiff of this little chat?
Chloe raised her eyebrows, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. “Listen, all I’m saying is, if he pulled me for a chat, I wouldn’t mind... but don’t worry, he’s all yours.”
“Oh, stop it!” Y/N said, nudging Chloe’s shoulder with a laugh. “Tom’s going to be fuming if he catches us even mentioning Harry.”
Chloe smirked, flipping her hair. “Let him fume! You’re here to find the one, not keep people happy. And besides, it’s not like Harry’s shy about showing he’s interested in you. Half the villa saw him making his way over to you this morning.”
Half the villa, you say? Well, folks, sounds like Tom may have some competition brewing—and Y/N’s the prize.
The door swung open, and in came Georgia with Lila and Amber, their voices spilling in like a burst of energy.
“There you are!” Georgia exclaimed, hands on her hips as she spotted Chloe and Y/N. “We’ve been looking everywhere for you two.”
“Oi, we’re right here!” Chloe laughed, exchanging a look with Y/N.
Georgia’s face lit up as she plopped down on the bench beside them. “I just have to say it… I really, really fancy Harry. Like, he could actually be the one.”
Chloe glanced sideways at Y/N, eyes widening, clearly trying not to laugh. Y/N looked away, keeping her expression neutral as she fiddled with her bikini strings.
“Oh, absolutely, babe,” Lila chimed in, grinning. “If you don’t make a move, I’m definitely giving him a shot.”
Georgia tossed her hair with a laugh, waving her hand. “Oh, go on then. I allow it. But you better be quick about it, or I’ll be the one nabbing him first.”
The girls dissolved into laughter, but then Georgia’s gaze turned thoughtful, and she leaned back, crossing her arms. “But seriously, though… no one in a stable relationship should be getting involved with him.”
A brief silence fell over the group as the words hung in the air. Chloe raised her brows, glancing again at Y/N with a knowing smile that didn’t go unnoticed.
Y/N chuckled, keeping her tone light. “Well, good thing it’s early days, yeah? Plenty of time for all of us to figure out what we want.”
Ooh, sounds like there’s a bit more at stake here than we thought. With the girls all vying for a piece of Harry, looks like things might heat up faster than anyone bargained for.
Amber crossed her arms and gave Georgia a skeptical look. “Hang on, that makes no sense, Georgia. Isn’t the whole point of Love Island to explore connections? Harry’s the one who should be deciding who he wants to be with, not us making some rule about it.”
Georgia raised an eyebrow, looking a bit taken aback. “Alright, Amber, but I’m just saying, it’s a bit out of line for someone in a solid coupling to be sniffing around him, don’t you think?”
Amber shrugged, not backing down. “If Harry wants to pull me for a chat, I’m not about to follow your silly rule, Georgia. And if he expresses interest in me, I’m definitely not holding back.”
Georgia’s jaw tightened, and she put her hands on her hips. “You know what, Amber? That’s not exactly being a ‘girls’ girl,’ is it? We’re all supposed to be on the same page here.”
Amber rolled her eyes, not missing a beat. “Girls’ girl? I’m here to find a connection, not to stick to some imaginary rulebook.”
Chloe and Y/N exchanged glances, struggling not to laugh at the sudden tension.
Looks like Georgia’s ‘rules’ aren’t quite going over as planned. Will Amber’s bold stance earn her a shot at Harry, or will Georgia’s “girls’ girl” code keep things from getting messy? Well, only time will tell—on Love Island, it’s every girl for herself.
Y/N mouthed “Wow!” at Chloe, eyebrows raised in disbelief. With a quick laugh, she picked up her sunglasses. “Right, I’m heading downstairs to tan and actually enjoy my book. Coming?”
“Absolutely,” Chloe grinned, trailing behind her. The two of them slipped outside and settled by the pool, stretching out on the loungers as Y/N flipped open her book.
Chloe leaned over, her tone quiet but full of curiosity. “So, what do you reckon about Georgia? She’s… a lot.”
Y/N sighed, sliding her sunglasses up her nose. “Yeah, Georgia’s definitely going to be an issue. Her and Tom both. It’s like… they’re more focused on the drama than actually getting to know people.”
Chloe laughed. “Spot on. Can already see her kicking off if Harry so much as looks at anyone else.”
Just then, their best mate in the villa, Callum, strolled over, plopping himself down beside them with a grin. “Alright, ladies. What’s all this gossip without me, eh?”
Y/N chuckled. “Nothing, don’t worry. Just a bit of Georgia talk. You know how it is.”
Callum raised an eyebrow, glancing between them. “I can imagine”
Chloe rolled her eyes. “Tell me about it. What about Tom, though? You talk to him this morning?”
Y/N sighed, closing her book for a moment. “He’s… sweet, but he’s already worried about where my head’s at. Keeps asking if I’m interested in Harry.”
Callum chuckled, shaking his head. “Not surprised. He’s definitely feeling the heat.”
Y/N nudged Callum with a playful grin. “Listen, if you go and tell the other lads any of this, I’ll kill you.”
Callum raised his hands in surrender, laughing. “Alright, alright, not a word. My lips are sealed.”
Chloe leaned in, curiosity glinting in her eyes. “So… what’s the verdict then? What are you feeling?”
Y/N sighed, adjusting her sunglasses as she stared out over the pool. “Honestly? Tom’s… he’s lovely. He’s comfortable, you know? Comforting, even. But there’s no spark, no real passion there. I don’t feel a real connection.”
Chloe nodded, giving her a knowing smile. “That’s exactly it, though, isn’t it? If there’s no fire…”
Callum grinned, nudging her again. “So what you’re saying is… it’s not exactly end game with Tom, yeah?”
Y/N shook her head, a small smile playing on her lips. “Not unless something changes, and fast.”
Well, folks, looks like the door is still wide open for a certain newcomer to spark a little fire in Y/N’s heart. And with Tom in the dark… this just might be the calm before the storm.
t’s challenge time in the villa! And today, it’s all about secrets. The game? Simple: each boy will slide down a massive ramp of slime, grab a card with a girl’s secret written on it, and read it out loud for the whole villa to hear. Then, he’ll make his guess by planting a kiss on the girl he thinks it’s about. Easy? Hardly. With secrets this juicy, the sparks are about to fly.
First up, it’s our very own new boy, Harry. Let’s see what he’s got…
Harry positioned himself at the top of the slippery ramp, a playful grin plastered across his face. With a cheeky shove, he launched himself down the slimy slope, landing with a splash at the bottom. He quickly grabbed the card, shaking off some goo as he read it aloud.
“This girl once went on a date with two different guys on the same night and accidentally mixed them up when they texted her later.”
The villa erupted in laughter, the girls exchanging wide-eyed glances as they tried to suppress their giggles. Harry scanned the group, his gaze landing on Y/N with a playful sparkle in his eyes.
With a confident stride, Harry stepped forward, closing the gap between them. He leaned in, capturing Y/N’s lips with a kiss that was anything but casual. It was deep and steamy, igniting a spark that sent a wave of heat rushing through her. The laughter faded as everyone watched, mouths agape, the chemistry between them palpable.
As he pulled back, a satisfied grin spread across Harry's face. “Well, I had to be sure,” he said, his voice low and playful, leaving Y/N breathless and the others in stunned silence.
The card was flipped, revealing that the secret actually belonged to Lila, much to everyone’s surprise.
Harry laughed, shaking his head. “Shit”.
And there you have it, folks! A kiss that lit up the villa and sent shockwaves through the competition. Harry may have missed the secret, but that kiss? That’s a score for Y/N, and things are just heating up in the Love Island villa!
Next up, it’s Tom’s turn to take the slippery plunge into the chaos of secrets. With a determined look on his face, he approaches the ramp, ready to play his hand in this game of revelations. Will he manage to impress Y/N with his guess, or will he fall flat?
Tom launched himself down the slimy ramp, landing with a splat and swiftly grabbing the card. With a flourish, he read aloud, “This girl once swiped right on her ex’s best mate just to make him jealous, only to have them both show up at her door the next day!”
Laughter erupted in the villa again, and the girls exchanged knowing glances. Tom looked around, scanning the group, and finally settled on Y/N, a cheeky smile on his face. “Alright, let’s see if I can take a shot at this.”
Y/N felt a flutter of anticipation but quickly squashed it down. As Tom stepped toward her, she allowed him to lean in, but she knew she wasn’t feeling the same spark she had with Harry.
Tom’s lips met hers, and while it was nice, it didn’t ignite the fire she had hoped for. It was a brief kiss, lacking the intensity that had come from Harry just moments before. She forced a smile as he pulled back, trying to mask her disappointment.
Tom grinned, clearly pleased with himself. “Was that you?
The card was flipped, revealing that the secret belonged to Chloe.
The room erupted into laughter again, and Y/N couldn’t help but roll her eyes, a small smirk on her face.
Harry shifted uncomfortably, his thoughts racing. Tom’s kiss had seemed so casual, so easy, and yet it had struck something deep within him. He thought back to the kiss he shared with Y/N, how electric it had felt, and how much he wanted to feel that again.
Harry's mind was a whirlwind of confusion and determination. He had only just arrived, yet here he was, feeling the pressure of this unexpected connection. He had to figure out how to navigate this budding relationship amidst the chaos of the villa.
As the laughter continued and the next boy prepared for his turn, Harry caught Y/N's eye across the room. She looked back at him, a curious smile on her lips, and in that moment, he knew he couldn’t just stand by. Something was pulling him towards her, and he needed to act on it before it was too late.
With the game still unfolding and emotions swirling, it was clear that this summer was going to be anything but ordinary. Let the drama begin!
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the villa, the atmosphere shifted from playful competition to a more intimate vibe. Y/N stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the straps of her long, tight red dress that hugged her curves perfectly. She felt confident and ready to make a statement, the color a bold choice that echoed her desire to stand out.
Just as she finished primping, a loud voice boomed from downstairs. “I’ve got a text!”
Y/N’s heart raced as she hurried to the top of the stairs, the anticipation hanging in the air. She peered down to see Harry holding his phone, a mischievous grin on his face, surrounded by the other contestants who were equally eager to hear the news.
Harry glanced at the message, a mix of excitement and tension flickering across his face. “Alright, here goes…” He cleared his throat dramatically before reading, “Harry, the time has come for you to choose whom you will be coupling with tonight!”
A hush fell over the group as the weight of the announcement sank in. Y/N felt her stomach drop at the implications of Harry's choice. The tension in the air was palpable, and she could see the other contestants exchanging nervous glances, the gravity of the situation setting in.
“Right, so it’s all on me, then,” Harry said, his playful demeanor giving way to a more serious tone. “No pressure at all, right?”
Y/N’s heart raced at the thought of being chosen—or worse, being left behind. Would Harry choose her? The thrill of the unknown buzzed in the air as she felt the weight of the moment pressing down on her. She wanted to believe that their earlier connection meant something, but the uncertainty lingered.
The warm glow of the fire pit flickered against the backdrop of the villa, casting a cozy ambiance as the night deepened. The contestants sat in their couples, anticipation palpable in the air, their faces illuminated by the dancing flames. All eyes were on Harry, who stood at the front, his usual confidence slightly wavering as he prepared to make his choice.
Harry ran a hand through his hair, his nerves evident as he took a deep breath, steadying himself. “Alright, everyone,” he began, his voice steady but laced with a hint of apprehension. “This is a bit nerve-wracking, isn’t it?”
Laughter rippled through the group, easing the tension just a bit. Harry glanced at Y/N, who sat among the others, her eyes focused on him, a mixture of hope and anxiety swirling within them. He felt a rush of warmth as he continued.
“I’ve had a brilliant time here so far, and it’s all thanks to the amazing people around me. But there’s one girl in particular who’s really stood out to me,” he said, his gaze drifting toward Y/N. “She’s lovely, funny, and everything just feels so easy with her. It’s like I don’t have to force anything; it just flows naturally.”
“I know that we haven’t had a lot of time to get to know each other yet,” Harry continued, “but I feel a real connection with her, something I haven’t experienced in a while.” He paused, letting his words sink in as he gauged the reactions around him.
“And that’s why,” he said, a smile breaking through his nervousness, “tonight, I’ve decided to couple up with Y/N.”
A cheer erupted from the others, and Y/N’s heart soared at his declaration. Relief washed over her as she exchanged a glance with Harry, their eyes locking in a moment that felt electric. The fire crackled beside them, mirroring the excitement in the air, and Y/N couldn’t help but grin as she moved closer to him.
“Looks like Harry has made his choice, and it’s a choice that might just set the villa ablaze!” the narrator’s voice chimed in, the playful tone adding to the vibrant atmosphere. “But with new flames igniting, what does this mean for the other couples? Stay tuned, because the drama is just beginning!”
let me know if you would like me to add you to the tag list!

MINORS GO AWAY

˚➶ 。˚
It's been a long time since your adrenaline was so high.
You can feel your heartbeat in your throat, in your ears, in your finger tips — in your cunt.
The chilly fall air burns your lungs as you push yourself. You're so far into the woods and away from the farmhouse that you wouldn't be able to find your way back even in the broad daylight; forget about doing it now, in the middle of the night with only the moon to guide you.
Good thing Seonghwa is hot on your tail and ready to drag you back home after he catches you.
His footsteps crunch the fallen leaves as he makes his way to catch up with you; not even trying to be quiet in his pursuit. Both of you know that he's faster, that he's eventually going to get you. But that doesn't matter. That's, in actuality, the whole point.
He and Hongjoong opened up to you a few months ago, about how they had some... peculiar interests. Things they wanted to try. Things their wolves wanted to do. At the top of that list, just below 'breed' — was 'hunt.'
It's no secret that alpha's are more in tune with their wolves natural instincts, their natural urges. The stronger the wolf, the stronger the urges. And you happen to have two very strong alpha's as your mates.
Seonghwa is the strongest wolf of your entire generation, he was the first born. When you agreed to this, he literally howled with joy at the fact that he would be able to chase you down and 'earn' what he took.
Hongjoong was just as excited, he nearly pounced on you then and there.
You can't lie. It's fucking exhilarating. Your wolf is prancing in your head at the knowledge that your mates are hunting you down with the intention of knotting you as roughly as they please.
You catch yourself by grabbing onto a tree as a lighting fast shadow crosses your vision up ahead, making you stumble. Hongjoong, it had to have been; because Seonghwa is still right behind you — oh, fuck.
You're tackled, Seonghwa's arms wrapping around you tightly and pulling you on top of him before you can collide with the dirt. "You cheaters!" You pant as you fall over him bonelessly, "he cut me off."
"We got you fair and square," he growls as he grabs the back of your sweater collar. Not another second is wasted as he riiiips the clothing down your back, "there wasn't a rule saying we couldn't corner you. Should have thought of that, Omega."
You gasp as the cold air hits your torso, exposed as he yanks the fabric off your arms. A yelp follows, having been pulled straight up and off him by Hongjoong.
He shoves you belly down onto the ground, "you're just so naive, Dolly~" He giggles, yanking your bottoms down. Not even bothering with your shoes as he pulls your pants off you. "Didn't you realize only one of us was behind you?"
"Get-" Your mind comes back to you after your initial shock of being caught and nearly stripped so fast, "get off me!" It's a little less convincing than it could be, but that's because you want them just as badly as they want you. Your ankle is immediately caught by a clawed hand as you go to kick at him, his other-worldly sharp nails threatening to press into your skin.
"I don't think so." He smirks as you look over your shoulder, wide eyes meeting his blackened ones. "You're ours. If you didn't want this, you should have ran faster~"
His words, although you know they are truly nothing but play pretend, make your heart thud in your chest harder and harder. You know you can end this with a single word. But you don't want to. "Wh- what are you gonna do?"
"We're gonna fuck you," Seonghwa's voice echos in the woods with a deep, dark purr laced in it as he stands infront of you.
The full moon is shining bright through the trees behind him, casting you in his shadow as Hongjoong plays with your hair teasingly.
"And you're gonna take it like the good little Omega that you are."
You couldn't respond even if you knew what to say as Hongjoong uses his claws and cuts your bra off of you, his palms immediately on your breasts as he grinds into your backside, making your jaw drop.
"Maybe, if you behave," Seonghwa hums as he crouches, red eyes locked on yours, "I'll give you my puppies."
You want to beg, 'please, please, fill me up!' Instead, you give him your best pout, finding yourself slipping more and more into the role of helpless prey. "You perverts..."
"Ah, we're the perverts?" Hongjoong chuckles as he continues to grind his jean clad bulge against your panties. The texture is so rough and nice. That, along with the chase — has you soaking through the fabric.
He sits up, holding you down by your shoulders as he leans his head back and takes a deep, purposeful breath in through his nose. "Mmmm," he bites his lip. You smell so tempting. So delicious. "You smell that, Baby?"
Seonghwa smirks at his question. Of course he does. "Hm? You mean that sweet smell of our Omega's cunt begging for us?" You whine, genuinely embarrassed. Curse their stupidly strong senses.
"I bet I could slip right in." Hongjoong's words make your eyes widen, and Seonghwa grins darkly, kneeling in front of you and leaning right to your face.
"I bet so too. I bet she'll let you right in~ Her pussy is telling the truth, even when her mouth is lying."
"No!" You try to push yourself up, only succeeding in pushing your ass against Hongjoong's bulge and making them laugh.
"Oh, yes, Dolly~" He unbuttons his bottoms and is hurrying to free himself while you struggle lightly beneath him. "I'm not a very patient man, you know that by now."
"Hongjoong, Hongjoong, wait! Wait a second, please!"
Seonghwa grabs the back of your neck, tilting his head as he looks down at you. "What? Why should we wait? Hm?"
"Y- At least stretch me out..." You feel so filthy for the words that leave your lips; but the harmonious rumbles from your Alpha's tell you that you definitely just did something right.
In truth, you were already more than ready to take one or even both of the them. They'd been teasing you for hours before the moon rose and the chase began.
They didn't want to hurt you, after all — not that badly.
"Oh," Hongjoong lets out an amused breath from behind you. You're just as into this as they are, slipping more and more into the game. "I'll stretch you out, alright."
He shoves your panties down your thighs, barely giving him enough room to slam into you. And slam he does. Knocking every thought from your head and your breath along with it as he settles his member as deep as possible.
It was only a slight hint of pain, the rest of what you were feeling was pure, unadulterated pleasure.
Seonghwa could see it in your face. Your brows pushed together and your eyes glazing over as small howl gets broken off in your throat. "That's it, Starlight," he breaks the facade with a soft praise, cupping your trembling jaw. "Let our mate fuck you in the dirt like the animals we are."
"F-uuuuck!" You scream as Hongjoong begins hammering into you, his growls reverberating off of the trees around you. Even as he gets lost in the clenching grip of your heat, he's careful with his claws as he grabs onto your shoulders; pulling you up to your knees.
"Hongjoong, be gen-gentle!" Don't be gentle. Don't be gentle. Fuck me like the Alpha you are.
His eyes roll back into his head as your thoughts reach him.
They reached Seonghwa as well, who now cups your face with both hands and squishes your cheeks together roughly. "Gentle? You want gentle? Too fucking bad, pup. You're gonna take us like the Omega you are."
Oh, you could faint. They're always rough. It's in your nature. But this is all new and dizzying and making you drip around Hongjoong's pistoning cock.
Seonghwa is grinning like a madman as you gulp, he can hear your heart thrumming like crazy as he comes closer. He shoves your face in his shoulder and holds you there with one hand while the other grasps onto your hip and guides you to start pushing back on Hongjoong.
"Fucking hell-" The blond hisses, his clawed hands wrapping up in your hair and holding onto you tightly. Not pulling, just grounding himself with you roughly as Seonghwa pulls you back and forth to meet his hard thrusts.
You wail into his shoulder, biting his hoodie and letting out a pathetic growl.
Hongjoong is continuing their tradition of trying to mold the shape of his cock into you so that Seonghwa can do the same and see which sticks longer. He's hitting every deep, sensitive part of you as he slips in and out at a brutal pace with the help of your shared mate.
"Just like that, Baby," Hongjoong purrs deeply, one of his hands finding his on your hip and settling on top of it. "Just like —" A breath hitches in his throat as you tilt your hips, and he's suddenly pounding into you impossibly harder while holding you at the new angle. "Oh, fuck~" He laughs breathlessly, "just like that!"
You slap your hands against the ground to cope with the new and intrusive feeling of him pushing himself somewhere... deeper. "Joong!! Too deep!" Every thrust is making his fat tip kiss the entrance of your womb. Don't stop. Don't stop.
"Cum inside of her," Seonghwa groans as he lets go of your head, eagerly yanking at his belt and locking eyes with the near feral man inside of you. "Lube her up nice and good so we can knot her together."
"Wha-aaaah," you squeal as Hongjoong pushes your face to the ground, one cheek to the dirt and your back arched deeply. His hand is on your other cheek, pining you to the ground with your ass in the air as he fucks you like he needs to breed you more than he needs to breathe.
It's almost like he does. As his pleasure slams into a peak almost as violently as he's slamming into you — he doesn't even realize he's holding his breath as he's shooting his load deep inside of you.
Not until Seonghwa's hand finds his shoulder, and he unlatches his jaw to snap at him before he realizes that's his mate too.
"Easy, tiger," Seonghwa smiles devilishly as he pushes back Hongjoong's hair, "aren't you gonna let me in?"
Fuck, yes, he is.
Hongjoong reaches down and tucks his arms under your shoulders, yanking you up as you whimper, "hurry, Alpha... Need you~"
Any part of you that was trying to hold onto the act is gone, your wolf is demanding to be knotted full by your mates. And they are more than eager to comply.
A small yip from you makes Seonghwa chuckle, watching you be jerked around with a primal satisfaction settling in his gut. Even though he knows, in reality, you wanted them this whole time — there's something so satisfying about the way they've gotten you so pliant and begging for their knots.
Your panties, still caught around your knees, stop your legs from opening all the way as Hongjoong lays back with you on top of him. He twitches inside of you, reaching around and using his claws slice the fabric. "Open up for your Alpha's, Dolly~"
As Seonghwa climbs over you, stroking his member slowly as he eyes you like a predator, Hongjoong holds your thighs and spreads you wide.
"Pretty Omega wants our knots, hm?" Seonghwa hums as he grips your jaw with his free hand, leaning over you with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
"Yes..." You answer breathlessly, blinking at him slowly and letting a pout form on your lips.
"Fuck — how can I say no to that?"
Your wail echoes in the silent night, your head thrown back and your small fangs gritting together as he all but shoves his bulky tip into your stretched hole. Hongjoong is panting like a dog underneath you, his eyes squeezing shut in focus as he forces himself to retract his claws. When he's successful, his fingers immediately find your clit; bombarding you with pleasure and sending mixed signals to your brain.
Seonghwa is stretching you out in an incredible and punishing way as he joins your mate inside of you, Hongjoong is flooding your body with dopamine. All of your wolves are noisy beyond belief in your mind as they howl with joy at being so undeniably close.
You hadn't come to expect gentleness from the eldest alpha, and you aren't surprised in the slightest bit that your chase had worked him up. He only gives you a single split second, while he grabs ahold of your hips, before he's done waiting and starts rutting into you.
You and Hongjoong are equally wrecked as Seonghwa grinds against him rough and deep inside of you, the sounds of his previous release squelching while being pounded back into you stirring him on.
He uses his grip on your hips to drag you up and down, his lip snarling upwards as he growls, "our perfect Omega takes it so good-"
Hongjoong is growling louder than he is now, cutting him off as he starts thrusting in time with how he moves you. "Faster."
"We don't want to break her~" He laughs lowly as the younger wolf's pout.
"She can take it," Hongjoong whines, "right, Dolly?" He rubs his hands up your torso, abandoning his teasing of your clit now that you're falling apart on their lengths.
You nod quickly, hands scrambling for anything to hold onto you. You find Seonghwa's hoodie; grasping it tightly in your fists as you look up at him. "Faster, faster — please! Please, Alpha!"
You know just how to press their buttons by now — which is exactly why you get just what you asked for.
Faster. Harder. They're animalistic in the way they take you. You can hardly think. But you don't have to. All you have to do is take it and revel in it.
A small howl leaves your pursed lips as your back arches off of Hongjoong's chest, thrusted about by their intense in-and-out and only held in place by Seonghwa's rough hands on your hips.
Your claws are dug into his hoodie, the tearing sound going completely ignored because the feeling of Hongjoong's knot swelling up and making the space they occupy even snugger.
"You gonna take it, Starlight?" Seonghwa hums a moan as he leans over you completely, crushing you between them, "gonna have our puppies?"
"Yes! Yes, pl-ease!"
Your yowl as Hongjoong's knot finally locks up inside of you — spurting even more hot cum — is muffled as Seonghwa latches his lips to yours. He keeps you right there, kissing you heated and messy as he copies the younger alpha's actions; stuffing you beyond completely and finally making that burning pleasure inside of you snap.
He rubs your stomach softly as you tremble and convulse with ecstasy, smiling against your lips as he feels their knots inside of you.
When he pulls away, he rest his head in the crook of your neck — purring loud and proud as he kitten licks at your mating mark. Hongjoong is rumbling happily below you, his arms wrapped around your waist softly and eyes closed blissfully.
"Such a perfect Omega," Seonghwa purrs, "we're so lucky."

Full-Court Claim

pairing: Alpha Basketball Star! Suguru Geto x Omega Cheerleader! Reader
description: Suguru Geto is a quiet, low-key Alpha with a killer three-point shot and a growing obsession with the Omega cheerleader. She’s sweet, smart, and somehow completely unaware that the entire campus is half in love with her, especially him. What starts as a simple class project spirals into movie nights, walking her home, shared hoodies, and feelings too big to keep buried. Now he just has to confess before his best friend Gojo does it for him.
College AU. Omegaverse. Soft, slow burn. One hoodie, one Alpha, and one very smitten Omega.
⚠️ Warnings: Omegaverse dynamics (scenting, no heats/ruts), suggestive content, language, brief objectifying comment, emotional vulnerability, college setting, Gojo being chaotic
w.c. 5.3k
✧・゚: ✧・゚: :・゚✧:・゚✧
The lecture hall was as packed as always, the quiet hum of students finishing notes and packing up for the day filling the air. You gathered your things, the stress of the midterm week still lingering in your shoulders, but the buzz of the class around you didn’t bother you. You were used to the bustle of campus life, always moving from one thing to the next.
Until Professor Yaga called out the names for project partners.
“Y/N and Suguru Geto,” he said, his voice calm but cutting through the low murmurs in the room.
You looked up, slightly surprised. Geto? You knew him, of course. Everyone knew him. The basketball star. Calm, quiet, and somehow always in control. You hadn’t spoken much to him, mostly exchanged brief glances across the campus, maybe a “hello” after a game or two.
But now? Now you were paired for a project. You blinked as you scanned the room for him.
He was leaning back in his chair, casually flipping through a textbook. His gaze met yours, but it was steady, unbothered. There was no smirk or obvious recognition , just a simple acknowledgment. He wasn’t staring at you, wasn’t giving you any of the attention you were so used to getting from others. You felt a small flicker of confusion.
You grabbed your bag and made your way over to him, ready to dive into the usual awkward exchange of “let’s get this over with.”
“Uh, hey,” you said, offering a small smile as you stood next to his desk.
He glanced up from his book, his eyes locking with yours, and there was that familiar warmth in his gaze. He didn’t speak right away, just gave a small, casual nod.
“Hey,” he replied, his voice smooth and easy, like it was the most natural thing in the world to be talking to you. No nerves. No effort.
You blinked, surprised at his calmness. Usually, alphas were all about making themselves known around you, flirty or trying to impress. Geto didn’t seem interested in that.
“So, uh,” you started, your hand shifting the papers in your grip. “How do you want to do this? Project?”
He shifted slightly in his seat, the faintest curve of his lips showing as he spoke. “We can meet up tomorrow. I’ve got practice, but after that, I’m free. How about you?”
His voice was low and easy, and even though you’d never had a conversation with him like this before, there was something almost... reassuring about the way he spoke. Calm. Collected. He wasn’t rushing. Not pushing anything.
“Sounds good,” you said, a little thrown off by how easy he was to talk to.
You turned to leave, but as you walked away, you couldn’t shake the feeling that his eyes were still on you. You glanced back briefly, only to find that Geto was looking down at his book again, no obvious sign of interest on his face.
Maybe this project won't be too bad.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
Geto’s POV:
She’s gone. Just like that.
Suguru sat still for a moment, his gaze on the desk in front of him, though his mind was a thousand miles away. He couldn’t help it, his thoughts were still swirling around you.
The way your cheer uniform had shifted as you moved. The way you looked so effortlessly comfortable in it, like you didn’t even realize how everyone’s eyes followed you when you entered the room.
You probably don’t realize how much attention you get.
But even if you didn’t, it was like the room still noticed you. And maybe, just maybe, he did too but he wasn’t about to let it show. Geto had no interest in adding to the chaos of your life. You were the popular cheerleader, the one everyone knew and admired, and he? Well, he was just Geto.
He exhaled softly, leaning back in his chair as he gathered his thoughts. There was something different about you, though.
You didn’t act like others. You didn’t flirt, didn’t seem to notice how many alphas were always around, trying to get close. You were quiet about it, more focused on other things. The kind of person who didn’t need constant validation.
He had to admit, it made him want to know you more. But at the same time, he didn’t want to make things complicated.
She’s probably not even aware of the way her scent drifts through the air. It’s almost distracting.
He shook his head slightly, trying to push the thought out of his mind. He was supposed to be focusing on the project. Not on how her scent lingered in the room even after she left.
But damn, it was hard to concentrate when everything about her felt so... quietly perfect.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* *:・゚✧*:・゚
You glanced at your phone as you stood outside the campus apartments, shifting your tote bag to your other shoulder. The hoodie you’d thrown over your light knit tank and pleated skirt wasn’t doing much against the night chill, but you hadn’t thought much about it when you left. You hadn’t expected to feel nervous either.
Geto: Sorry it’s late. Practice ran long. You okay meeting at my place? Promise it’s quiet.
The door swung open before you could knock twice. Geto stood there, damp hair curling against his jaw, wearing a plain black sweatshirt and soft gray joggers that hung low on his hips. He looked relaxed,maybe too relaxed for how fast your heart suddenly beat.
“Hey,” he said, stepping back to let you in. “Sorry again. I figured the library would be packed, and I didn’t think a coffee shop at 10 p.m. sounded great.”
You stepped into the apartment and paused, caught off guard.
The place was spotless. Shoes lined up neatly by the door, surfaces dusted, books stacked like he actually used them. A soy candle flickered on a shelf, and a fuzzy black throw blanket was folded perfectly across the back of the couch.
“This is... not what I was expecting,” you said, toeing off your shoes.
Geto laughed under his breath, rubbing the back of his neck. “What, were you picturing pizza boxes and protein powder everywhere?”
“Honestly? Yeah. And maybe a basketball wedged into the couch cushions.”
“Check Gojo’s room for that,” he muttered.
“Gojo?”
“My roommate. He’s... hard to explain. Not home tonight though. You’re safe.”
You laughed softly and followed him to the living room, where he already had a laptop and a stack of printouts set up on the coffee table.
“Tea? Water?” he asked, heading toward the kitchen.
“I’m good, thank you,” you said, pulling your own laptop out as you sat cross-legged on the couch, hoodie slipping slightly off your shoulder. You caught him glance over and quickly look away.
The next hour passed surprisingly fast. You hadn’t expected him to be so focused, or so sharp. He broke down the project proposal with clean logic and careful pacing, asking your opinion but never talking over you. Every time you made a point, he actually listened — not just nodded like most people did.
“You’re really smart,” you said halfway through, before thinking.
He looked up, caught off guard. “Uh. Thanks.”
You laughed. “I just mean, you’re known for basketball and, you know, looking kind of intimidating.”
“I read,” he said, lips twitching in a half smile. “And I’ve been carrying this GPA since before coach recruited me, so... I like to surprise people.”
You smiled back and nudged him with your knee. “Well, consider me surprised.”
By the time you finished the outline and started assembling sources, the majority of the work was already done. You glanced at the time and winced.
“Midnight,” you sighed. “I didn’t even realize.”
“You walking back?” he asked instantly, brows lifting.
“Yeah, it’s not far—”
“No way,” he said, already grabbing his keys. “I’m walking you. Don’t argue.”
You blinked. “You really don’t have to—”
“If I don’t, I’ll sit here and picture the worst-case scenario until morning. So let’s just avoid that.”
Your breath caught slightly, the honesty of it catching you off guard.
“Alright,” you said softly. “Thanks.”
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
The night was calm, the path lit in pale gold by campus lights. Your shoulder brushed his once, and you both paused slightly, then didn’t move apart again.
“Your apartment’s really cozy,” you said.
He glanced at you. “Thanks. I get weird about keeping things neat.”
“It suits you.”
“You don’t even know me,” he said, but his voice was quiet. A little hopeful.
You shrugged. “Not really. But I’m starting to.”
The silence stretched, not awkward - just full of things neither of you were saying. When you got to your dorm, he stopped at the bottom step.
“I’ll wait until you’re inside,” he said.
You nodded, warmth blooming in your chest. “Thanks again, Geto.”
“It’s Suguru,” he said, eyes steady on yours. “You can call me that.”
You smiled. “Okay, Suguru. I’ll text you when I’m in.”
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
Geto’s POV
If he hadn’t walked her, he wouldn’t have been able to sleep.
He knew himself well enough. He would’ve paced the apartment, checking his phone every five minutes, overthinking the decision until his stomach twisted. It wasn’t about whether she could handle herself. It was just... her.
He shoved his hands in his hoodie pocket, exhaling into the cool night.
She was wearing that skirt again. The one she sometimes wore to games. Casual, sweet, the kind of outfit that shouldn’t drive him crazy — but it did. And the hoodie was oversized, sleeves half-covering her hands, like she hadn’t even realized how damn cute she looked.
You’re just working on a project, he reminded himself.
But it didn’t feel like just that. Not with the way she smiled when he offered her tea. Not with the way she called him smart like it was something rare, something special.
And when she said his name ,not Geto, not “hey,” but Suguru , he had to swallow hard just to stop himself from smiling like an idiot.
He stared up at the stars again, breath forming faint clouds in the chill air.
God, I’m so far gone.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
You barely knocked before the door opened again, warm light spilling into the hallway and casting a glow behind Suguru’s tall frame.
“Hey,” he said, stepping aside. “You’re right on time.”
“Practice ran short. Coach let us out early,” you said, slipping inside and toeing off your sneakers. Your gym bag hit the floor with a soft thud. “Hope it’s okay I came straight from practice.”
“Totally fine,” he said, shutting the door behind you.
You tugged off your team jacket, revealing the soft cling of your cheer uniform underneath ,short pleated skirt still swaying faintly from the walk, sleeveless top hugging your figure in a way that made Suguru absolutely not look.
Except he did. Once. Quickly. And then he went straight to the kitchen like he hadn’t.
You felt his scent shift almost imperceptibly , not aggressive, not possessive. Just… stirred. There was a weight to the air that hadn’t been there the last time. It curled around the room gently, like his instincts were trying to buffer the space, make it comfortable for you. Or safe. Or maybe both.
“Water?” he offered, already reaching for a glass.
“Thanks,” you said, sitting down on the couch and folding your legs under you. Your muscles still buzzed from practice, your ponytail a little messy, cheeks slightly flushed. He handed you the glass, and when your fingers brushed, you caught something in his scent again — warmer now, more focused.
The two of you worked quietly again, but this time, the tension sat closer.
You were more aware of how close he sat beside you. How his thigh brushed yours every now and then. How every time he leaned forward to point something out on your screen, the scent of clean soap and alpha pressed around you like a soft hum under your skin.
It didn’t help that he was ridiculously composed. Patient, kind, smart and somehow still completely unaware of how attractive he was. That shouldn’t be allowed.
At one point, you caught yourself staring as he reread a passage from the article you’d pulled up, eyes narrowed slightly, the slope of his nose catching the soft light. He had no idea. Or maybe he did, and he was just good at pretending.
Either way, your heart wouldn’t calm down.
You cleared your throat. “Suguru?”
He looked up. “Hm?”
“Why are you helping me so much with this project? Like, I can tell you’re the smart one here.”
He blinked, then laughed a little under his breath. “I thought we were helping each other.”
You looked away, suddenly feeling very warm. “Yeah, I just… I don’t know. You’ve been nice.”
He didn’t say anything for a moment. Then, quietly, “I like when you’re here.”
Your breath caught, and for a second, neither of you looked at the screen.
Just at each other.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
He walked you back again, of course he did. By now, it felt more like a ritual than a courtesy.
“You don’t have to keep walking me,” you said as the wind pulled at your ponytail.
“I do,” he said without hesitation. “Because the one time I don’t, I’ll lose my mind worrying about it.”
Your heart fluttered for a very specific, dangerous reason.
When you reached your dorm, you lingered for a second longer than last time.
“Thanks, Suguru,” you said, voice soft. “Again.”
His eyes searched yours. “Always.”
You stepped inside, warmth blooming in your chest.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
Geto’s POV
Suguru closed the door behind him and leaned against it, exhaling like he’d just held his breath for a full mile.
The scent still lingered, her shampoo, the warm trace of Omega that had been way too strong.. Maybe it was practice that brought it out. Or maybe it was proximity. Maybe she was starting to feel it too.
He wasn’t going to assume. Couldn’t afford to. But the look she’d given him when he said he liked when she was there - yeah. That wasn’t nothing.
He was halfway to the fridge when Gojo’s bedroom door swung open and he wandered out, yawning, hair a mess.
Gojo sniffed the air once, twice, then froze dramatically in the middle of the kitchen.
“…Why does it smell like the pretty cheerleader Omega in here?”
Suguru blinked slowly. “Don’t.”
“Oh my god,” Gojo grinned. “You didn’t—”
“Gojo.”
“I leave you alone once and you turn this place into a nesting den—”
Suguru groaned and dropped his forehead against the fridge door.
“She came over to work on our project. That’s it.”
Gojo leaned on the counter, waggling his brows. “Does she know you’re practically feral over her?”
“I’m not—” He stopped, sighed, and opened the fridge like it held answers.
Gojo’s grin widened. “You so are.”
And Suguru, as usual, had no defense.
Because maybe he was.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
It started simple.
You found him sitting under one of the big sycamores on the quad, warm-up jacket unzipped, headphones hanging around his neck, brows furrowed over the textbook in his lap.
You plopped down beside him without warning, holding out a smoothie. “For pre-game carbs. It’s banana peanut butter.”
He blinked, surprised. Then his lips tugged up into a slow, warm smile. “You brought me a smoothie?”
You shrugged. “You said you get jittery before games.”
“I said Gojo gets jittery before games,” he said, amused, taking the drink anyway. “But thanks.”
You stretched your legs out in front of you, brushing invisible lint off your cheer skirt. It was game day after all, cropped top snug under your jacket, pleated skirt crisp and short, hair up with a ribbon that matched your school colors. You were used to people looking. But Suguru looked different. He never stared. He just… noticed.
“How’re you feeling?” you asked, glancing at him.
He sipped the smoothie and made a soft noise of approval. “Better now.”
And you didn’t look at each other for a second too long or anything, except… maybe you did.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
The team was stretching just outside the locker rooms when the opposing players started to file past. Most of them ignored your side. Except one.
Tall, sharp-featured, eyes raking across the gym like he owned it.
He paused when he spotted you, still in your cheer uniform, jacket unzipped, pom-poms in hand, and smirked.
“Damn,” he muttered to his teammate, “cheer squad over here built different. Bet that one’s real flexible.”
Gojo, passing by with a towel around his neck, froze mid-step. His eyes widened slightly.
“Ohh no,” he muttered under his breath. “That’s the dumbest thing you could’ve said today.”
Because Suguru was standing less than ten feet away.
And he heard it.
He didn’t move. Didn’t say a word. Just slowly looked up, eyes like black ice.
Gojo dragged a hand down his face. “Here we go.”
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
You had no clue what had happened before the game started, just that Geto came out swinging.
Every movement was sharper, faster. Controlled, but with a precision that made your breath catch. He wasn’t just playing to win. He was obliterating.
And when the guy who made the comment tried to guard him?
Let’s just say he didn’t last long.
Gojo even called it from the court. “Oooh, somebody pissed him off before tip-off.”
You caught Suguru’s eyes once during a timeout. He didn’t smile. Just looked at you, intense and steady, and you felt that heat again low in your chest.
He was fired up. Because of you?
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
You barely made it onto the court before he found you.
“Hey,” the guy from earlier said, stepping in close. “Didn’t get your name before the game. You free tonight?”
You blinked. “What?”
“You looked good out there,” he added, eyes not even trying to be respectful. “Could show you a better time than—”
“Back off.”
The voice behind you was cold enough to freeze the gym.
Suguru was standing just over your shoulder, sweat still slick at his collarbone, jaw tight.
“She’s not interested,” he said, calm but lethal. “Keep walking.”
The guy looked between you and Suguru sized him up — and clearly thought better of pushing it. He scoffed and turned away.
Suguru didn’t move until he was halfway down the tunnel.
You let out a shaky breath.
“Thank you,” you said, turning to him.
He met your eyes. “Didn’t like the way he was looking at you.”
Your heart jumped a little. “You saw that?”
He nodded. “He said something before the game, too.”
You frowned. “What did he say?”
Suguru’s eyes darkened. “Doesn’t matter. He’s not saying anything again.”
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
This time, his hand didn’t just linger — it stayed. Resting warm on your lower back, grounding you in a way that made your pulse jump.
You walked quietly for a while. The campus was quiet. Soft wind pulling at your ribbon, your scent still sweet from adrenaline and heat.
“Do you always get that kind of attention after games?” he asked suddenly, voice quiet.
“Sometimes,” you admitted. “I don’t usually notice. I don’t pay much attention to that stuff.”
He glanced at you, something soft flickering behind his eyes. “You should. You don’t have to deal with that alone.”
Your throat tightened. You looked up at him, heart pounding.
“I like when you walk me home,” you said quietly.
He smiled. Just a little.
“I like walking you home.”
You paused at your dorm, just like always. But this time, something tugged you forward. He leaned down like it was instinct. And instead of a forehead kiss—
He pressed a soft kiss to your temple, breath ghosting against your hairline.
“Night, sweetheart,” he murmured.
You stood there for a second after he walked away, heart thundering in your chest.
This was definitely more than friendship now.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
Geto’s POV
The message was simple.
hey uhh I made way too much pasta and I have like zero self-control when it comes to eating alone… wanna help?
Suguru stared at the text longer than he should have, thumbs hovering over his screen.
be there in ten.
Her dorm was on the quieter side of campus, tucked on the second floor of a brick building lined with ivy. He knocked, expecting… he didn’t know, honestly. Something chill.
He did not expect to open the door and be hit with it.
Her scent.
Warm, sweet, soft at the edges, a little citrusy, a little vanilla, and undeniably Omega. He’d caught hints of it before, lingering in her clothes or trailing faintly when she left a room, but this was the full force of it.
It filled every corner. Blankets, clothes, the warm fog curling out from the kitchen. It wrapped around him like silk and punched every instinct he had directly in the chest.
She appeared from the kitchenette in sweats and a tank top, hair up, cheeks flushed from the stove heat.
“Hey,” she said, smiling like it wasn’t a crime. “Hungry?”
He was. But it wasn’t the food he was suddenly craving.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
Dinner was pasta and garlic bread on the couch, the kind of easy that didn’t need much talking. They flipped through movie options until she groaned and threw the remote at his lap.
“You pick. I’m indecisive and full of carbs.”
He chuckled, scrolled a bit, then clicked something low-stakes. a cheesy horror movie with bad effects and worse acting.
Half an hour in, her legs were draped across his lap.
Another ten minutes and she’d shifted sideways, leaning her shoulder into him, half-laughing, half-hiding at the dumb jumpscares.
His hand moved to the back of the couch. Not around her.
But when she leaned closer .head against his chest, the tiniest sigh slipping out. he let his arm fall behind her shoulders. Barely touching. Barely breathing.
Until she shifted again. Tugged the blanket higher. And tucked herself fully under his arm like it was the most natural thing in the world.
He felt her exhale. Settling.
And he just… melted.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
He walked in dazed.
Still warm, still scented, still playing the moment over in his head like a record stuck on loop. Her laugh, her hand brushing his knee, her temple against his ribs like she belonged there.
Gojo looked up from where he was doing absolutely nothing in the kitchen.
Paused.
Sniffed the air.
“Ohhh my God,” he said, eyes wide, grinning like a shark. “Did you roll around in her laundry basket or did she just crawl into your lap.wait, don’t tell me, I wanna guess—”
Suguru gave him a look that was supposed to be threatening, but it lacked the bite. Because he was smiling. He couldn’t not smile.
“You’re disgusting,” Suguru muttered.
“You’re in love,” Gojo sing-songed, flopping dramatically onto the couch. “Tell me she made you dinner. No,don’t. I’ll cry. I am crying. This is so domestic.”
“Shut up.”
“Oh, it’s so over for you, man. You’re gone. Whipped. She cuddled you, didn’t she?”
Geto didn’t answer.
Gojo shrieked into a throw pillow.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
The movie ends, the credits roll, and you’re already half-asleep.
You and Suguru have done this three nights in a row now. Dumb movies, takeout, sprawled across your dorm floor while your scent mixes lazily in the small space, cozy and slow and content. The project’s been done for weeks. There’s no reason to keep doing this.
Except neither of you ever mentions that.
You walk him to the door in your socks, arms folded tight over your chest. The hallway is cold. He notices.
He always notices.
Without a word, he pulls his hoodie off and drapes it over your shoulders like it’s the most natural thing in the world.
“Here,” he murmurs. “You’re freezing.”
You blink. “But you’ll be cold.”
“I’ll survive.”
The fabric’s warm, soft from wear. And it smells like him, a little sweat, a little cedarwood, something unmistakably Alpha that pulls at your lungs in a way you don’t want to think too hard about.
“Thanks,” you mumble, tugging it tighter. “I’ll give it back next time.”
But you don’t.
Not because you forget. Not really.
You just… keep it
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
You wear it in the mornings, wrapped around you like armor. It’s too big, sleeves constantly falling past your hands. But it’s perfect. Comforting.
When you stop by the campus café, the barista doesn’t even blink. “Your usual?” she asks, eyes flicking to the hoodie. “Geto’s, right?”
You just smile and pay.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
Geto’s POV
“Bro. You let her keep your hoodie?”
Suguru glances up from his textbook. “She was cold.”
“No, no, no. You let her keep your hoodie.” Gojo throws himself across the couch like a man struck down. “She walked past me this morning and I swear I went into heat for you. I almost dropped my breakfast. Do you know what it’s like to smell you on her at 8 a.m.?”
Geto just blinks. “You’re being dramatic.”
“I’m being honest! You’re cooked, man.”
And he is. He knows it.
Because now every time he sees you in that hoodie — during your early morning coffee runs, when you stop by the gym to say hi, when you curl up across from him during study nights — his brain short-circuits a little.
You smell like him.
You smell like his.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
“Wait, you’re not together?” is the standard response now.
You share drinks. You text all day. You finish each other’s sentences. You walk each other everywhere.
You bump shoulders in hallways. He pulls you closer in crowds. You laugh at his dry humor. He memorizes your order at every food truck on campus.
But neither of you says it.
You just keep circling each other, orbiting like gravity has something else in mind.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
A cheer showcase, small, but personal. You text him a week ahead, just a simple “Come if you can?”
He replies within two minutes: I wouldn’t miss it.
He shows up early, back row, quietly watching while you run drills and routines under the lights.
Under your warm-up jacket?
His hoodie.
You spot him during the final bows. He’s leaning forward a little, arms crossed, watching you like you hung the moon.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
Someone ,a classmate, a friend of a friend ,makes a passing comment while you’re grabbing your bag.
“You’ve got it easy. Everyone falls in love with you the second you smile. Must be nice, huh?”
It’s a joke, technically. Offhand. But it hits deep.
Because you are the perfect Omega. You do get followed around by admirers. And no one ever really sees you.
No one except—
You slip outside before anyone can notice.
But of course he does.
Suguru walks up quietly, finds you curled on the stone steps behind the gym, your knees pulled up to your chest and his hoodie wrapped tight around you.
He says nothing at first. Just sits beside you, shoulder brushing yours.
“You okay?” he asks after a beat.
“I’m fine.”
“You smell… not fine.”
You let out a small, bitter laugh. “Is that your Alpha assessment?”
“It’s my friend assessment.”
That word stings now.
You don’t want to be his friend.
And maybe it’s the hoodie. Maybe it’s the moon overhead or the way he’s looking at you — not pressing, not demanding, just soft — but something breaks open.
“I’m tired of everyone loving the version of me they think I’m supposed to be.”
Suguru doesn’t flinch. Just turns his body toward you fully.
“I love you.”
You go still.
He breathes in slow, trying to hold it together. “You. Not the cheer uniform. Not the title. Not the scent you try to dial back every time someone flirts with you.”
You blink. “How do you know—?”
“I’ve been in love with you since you smiled at me over a shared syllabus and asked if I wanted to split the work evenly.” His voice wobbles, just a little. “I’ve been losing my mind every time you wear that hoodie. And I swear, I’ve had to stop myself from scenting you like an unhinged Alpha every time you lean on me.”
Your heart is pounding. Your hands clench in the sleeves.
You swallow. “You can.”
He stills. “What?”
“You can scent me. If you want.”
Your eyes find his, open and wide and a little glassy. “If you still want to.”
Suguru moves carefully, like you’re something holy.
He kneels in front of you, hands brushing up to cup your cheeks, slow and sure.
Then he leans in, lets his scent wrap around you in a warm, protective cradle. He noses into your neck, breath trembling.
You shiver — not from cold, but from finally.
And when he kisses you, it’s soft. Gentle. Like something that’s been building for ages.
You curl into him like gravity, like home.
Like his.
.
.
.
Bonus
You’re not sure when things shifted.
Maybe it was the kiss on the gym steps. Maybe it was when you started wearing his hoodie to bed. Maybe it was just the way Suguru touches you now, hands careful but sure, always grounding, always giving you the space to lean in first.
But tonight, there’s no space left between you at all.
You're perched on his lap on the edge of his bed, hoodie bunched around your thighs, his hands warm and slow at your waist. His lips are on your neck, just beneath your scent gland, and every time he exhales, you feel your spine curl like ribbon.
“Fuck,” he murmurs, voice husky against your skin. “You’re gonna kill me.”
You laugh, breathless. “Says the one who keeps dragging me into your lap.”
“You climbed into it.”
“You opened your arms!”
He grins, pulling back just enough to look at you. His eyes are dark, reverent, warm.
“I’m not complaining,” he says, dragging one hand up the back of your thigh, just under the hem of the hoodie. “But if you keep smelling like this, looking like this, wearing my clothes like you're mine—”
“I am yours,” you whisper.
Something in him snaps quietly at that.
He kisses you again, slower this time. Deeper. His scent pulses around you like a heartbeat. His hands roam, never rough, but so hungry.
You can feel him start to tremble just slightly beneath you. Holding back. Always holding back.
“Suguru,” you murmur, “you don’t have to—”
And that’s exactly when the front door opens.
“Yo, you guys want takeout or— OH, NOPE—!”
You both jolt like you’ve been electrocuted.
“GOJO.” Suguru’s voice is ragged, one hand flying up to shield your modesty while the other flails wildly toward the door. “GET OUT.”
“MY BAD. I SAW NOTHING. NOTHING. MAYBE A LITTLE LEG. I’M LEAVING. I’M GONE.”
The door slams shut.
There’s a long pause.
Then you burst out laughing, face tucked into Suguru’s shoulder.
He groans and leans back on the bed, pulling you down with him. “I’m going to murder him.”
You giggle. “You’d miss him.”
“I’d miss peace.”
He looks at you then,hair falling in his face, lips kiss-bitten, expression helpless.
“You really meant it?” he asks softly. “You’re mine?”
You nod, pressing your forehead to his. “Completely.”
And just like that, the flustered mess of a moment turns tender again.
He kisses you once more, reverent and slow, and mutters into your skin, “Next time, I’m locking the door.”

@mocha000 Ahhhh I said 5 parts so far! Maybe more if I feel like adding to this universe. I have a few ideas- little ideas but ideas none-the less. I’m glad I’ve written most of it because it will be fairly easy to post a bunch in the next few months (watch these be my famous last words.
Okay but! He’s so slight! It bothers me so much and I’m not even playing. 90% of my fantasy’s these days are just cookin and getting to feed them a lot of food. I hope Tae still has his cheeks when he comes back :(
Ahhh thank you for bringing up the world context, I feel like that’s like- super important to this story like- of course hoseok is terrified of her being sick given the past and history of omega’s. I didn’t say it in this chapter but I think one of the reasons why this jimin has medical anxiety is probably because his mom almost died of the omega sickness or something.
Oh sooooo much more aggressive, I really kinda…like it a bit too much? Like I want him to toss me around lol. There is this interesting dynamic of him being weak but firm with her that I loved writing. I totally love the idea of wolf Hobi just- picking up the others very very gently by the scruff of their necks and bringing them to her with a wagging tail like “look at this pretty alpha I got for you babe <3”
Initially I didn’t describe the biological side of her instincts, but I’m glad I ended up adding it in so that we can see it from her side of the story.
Oh it’s so wild and weird, I wanted to emphasize one of the ways in which this universe is /not/ like the others at all- almost all omega’s are like- celebrities in this universe just cuz they’re so abnormal.
On a side note I wonder if anyone’s written a fanfic about mr.lee yet?
I love the image of yoongi drying his hands slowly like- making sure he’s clean before he touches the m/c like I’m pretty sure I may have recycled this from bily but its so so so fucking hot to me when people show they’re like- intentions like that? Like he wants to touch but will not do it dirty lol I’m glad you’re enjoying the dynamic, I know it may seem a little self-indulgent and illogical considering how much they all want her- but this is a universe in which alphas are biologically denied omegas and simultaneously crave them- so it makes sense that we see their cravings play out in different ways.
Tbh, sometimes I think when Hobi's particularly sleepy, he speaks in short rumbly growls, either positive or negative sounds to control his pack- especially when he’s close to his rut.
Oh don’t worry you’re gonna see three chapters of her being their professional scenter and her absolutely torturing hoseok with her presence and taunting him until he snaps (: it’s very cute.
I really really hope that the boys don’t struggle when they get back, but part of me is almost sure that they are going too- I mean- hoseok’s lines when he talks about not knowing if he’s good at this anymore are partially inspired by his irl comeback/first welive that he did where he just looked so like- shell shocked almost? Like he was very very shakey and idk if anyone else internalized it like I did but it was pretty blatant to me. He’s obviously gotten used to it since then and re-adjusted.
The m/c’s scent was actually a suggestion from someone on here! I liked it and I ran with it, they all smell like some kind of fruit :) but the title was all my idea! I worry a little that people will get confused, but it is Hoseok who has seven packmates and 7 pups not including himself. They’re his reasons for being you know? Tbh I think that if bily yoongi met this yoongi they would /hate/ each other, but like- in a way that you’d kinda wanna see them fuck if that makes sense like HYB yoongi is very strong minded and firm where as bily yoongi is gentle to a fault and maybe a bit more willing to see multiple sides of the same situation.
As I said at the beginning! How much I write for this universe kinda depends on how much people enjoy it! In that vein thank you so much for commenting on this <3 not everyone does anymore and I know as long as you enjoy it I’ve at least made one person happy.

୨୧ ‧₊˚ A/N: This was inspired after i got /dreadfully/ ill after seeing HOTS in march. i've been writing it for a good long while i guess! i'm open to adding more to the story if i'm inspired but as of right now it will only be 5 parts. Please enjoy it and let me know what you think! this story also does go non-chronolgocially, if we organize it by chronology this is actually the middle. basically it goes 3 < 4 < 5 < 1 < 2, but i think you'll enjoy the flashbacks of how they got togeather!

The sound of the audience and the rumble of screams and shouts are still ringing in Hoseok's ears as he exits the stage. The roar of the lyrics are a hum filling his veins. Adrenaline pumps through his system better than any drug or instinct. More addictive and more natural to him than breathing.
He’s sweat tacky in places he’d rather not name and yet despite this night- a show, the dance of performer and performance, the validation that comes from the screams of many waiting fans- despite all of that- Hoseok's still not calm. Hoseok's still not satisfied.
He yanks his in ears out, nearly tearing at the wiring the second he's clear from view. Not even bothering to put his microphone in its correct case as he moves, breathless and hurried in the direction of the dressing room.
A stagehand tries to help him, but after clocking the rage and aggression rolling off of him they think better of it and lower their gaze as he passes, practically curling in on themselves.
He's on alert, aggression a hairpin trigger just waiting to be pulled below his skin. Almost hoping for an outlet. The still lingering roaring cheers of Alphas, a good number of betas, and a sparse select few omegas ferry him as he cuts through the sea of staff.
By all metrics the show had gone well. He's not angry because he stumbled or because someone messed up the queue for the cube again. This performance had gone perfectly. It has nothing to do with why he's about to snap and punch someone. Maybe bite them. Maybe tear them limb from limb- yeah his alpha likes the sound of that. But none of this, none of this is what makes his blood hot in his veins.
That honor belongs to his omega.
You’re not just his, of course, you belong to the others too. But he’s pack alpha, so they all belong to him to some degree. The pups more so, his peers, Namjoon, Jin, and Yoongi- less. Being a part of a pack is more like belonging to matching a set and less ownership.
But not anymore. You're Hoseok's. In every way that matters. You're his.
It's hard to believe, but Hoseok was not always so possessive and exacting as a pack alpha. He never had to deal with any of this- the instincts and the near-feral need that comes with them before the pack became fractured. Broken in a way that can’t be fixed by words and promises. Leaving Hoseok's alpha to pace back and forth the inside of his mind like a monster caged and understimulated.
Hoseok wishes he knew what he was giving up when he enlisted.
Not that knowing would have changed anything. But at least then he'd have been prepared.
Hoseok has seven pups and seven packmates registered to his pack. four alpha's, two beta's, and one precious omega. He's never been without his pack for so long and before 22 months ago they'd never been apart for more than a few weeks. Enlisting posed new challenges, some that Hoseok thought he'd be better at handling by now.
But adjustment takes time. Healing takes time. It doesn't matter how many times he repeats that to himself. Nothing ever gets easier (You might disagree).
The military wasn't easy. They didn't go easy on Hoseok.
He'd never been one alpha among the many, never had his rage cultivated and honed as a weapon to be used and wielded by his superiors. Hoseok learned he was good at being angry- good at melding his body and his alpha together as one- it's only now that Hoseok's out that he's struggling to detangle his sense of self from his alpha.
He'd never been without some sort of pack structure. At least not in so many years. He'd presented with Namjoon and Yoongi- had dealt with their instincts and learned how to settle his own alongside them. A good thing too because a few years after when Jungkook and Taehyung had come along. Young and wide-eyed and entirely unprepared for anything like presenting- they'd needed a pack alpha to help settle them. Someone to guard and mind their instincts, to take care of them, to push when they needed pushing and get them to bend when otherwise they might break.
But war is different. Rage- Hoseok is learning, Is a particular monster that doesn't go down easy.
Of course they'd never been completely broken as a pack. Even now Yoongi is home in the pack house still doing his daily service and coming home at the end of the day. The last time Hoseok had been home (nearly 5 weeks ago before the start of the tour). Yoongi was still struggling; Hoseok saw signs of it everywhere.
His camo jacket wasn't in the house even, it's in the garage where he leaves his boots. Takes them off before he even sets foot inside. separate lives and separate alpha's. There are pack house slippers set up by the door. 16 slippers, 8 sets, color coordinated. Kept meticulously clean like the rest of the house. Namjoon's coffee mug left by the coffee maker, Tae's scarf laid over the chair. A still life painting. hints of the pack left undisturbed. As if they'd just popped out for a moment and where coming back later.
Maybe Hoseok should have realized it when Seokjin was discharged, how you and Yoongi had gone radio silent for 6 hours. How much more communicative Seokjin was after and how every day after he told Hobi how much he couldn't wait for the pack alpha to come home. A new edge to his tone. Hoseok should have suspected something was wrong.
Now that Hoseok's home, he knows. Jin had it easier. Jin's a beta Jin doesn't have a monster in the back of his mind constantly out for blood.
He knows that Yoongi's still not used to buying less than 8 people's worth of food at a time after so many years of cooking and shopping for 8. That he struggles to fall asleep at night- too used to the press of warm bodies around him. Now Hoseok knows that Sometimes when Yoongi wakes in the morning, his hands shake. Instincts and body unsettled.
Hoseok knows, for the first 6 months of his service, his hands shook in the morning too. Call it psychological dependence or physical addiction- Hoseok doesn't quite know what it is. Although Hoseok expects that had more to do with you.
Alpha's can grow dependent on omega's after all. It's no more addictive than a cup of coffee, and yet,
And yet…
In his worst moments, Hoseok wonders what the pack would do if they didn't have you.
If you hadn't have asked, Hoseok wouldn't have let you come on this tour, would have never dragged you across the globe from city to city and would never have taken you from Yoongi. But the fact of the matter is that Hoseok is...it's not that he's not handling this well exactly but...but...
But you'd pouted, and Hoseok (notoriously weak for your every whim and desire) had predictably melted. (He'd been a little oblivious to the thankful looks shot at you over his head, he'd missed the way that Yoongi had cornered you just before the start of tour, how he'd folded himself across you.
"I'll get him back, you know I can be persistent."
"I know, I'm just worried, he's so...unhappy." Yoongi finally settled on. Even if you're both aware that that's not quite it. "You know how I hate it when you push yourself.")
But trauma changes people, it affects everyone differently. Hoseok had changed.
Now Hoseok regrets letting you come even more. When he checks his phone he doesn't have a single text from you. Not a 'good luck on the show.' Or an 'I'll be watching alpha' or anything. Which is not like you. Hoseok shouldn't be so surprised. You're probably sleeping. You're probably just resting like you should be. He'd ordered you to rest last night.
Exiting the stage, Hoseok does try and settle himself. Pausing in the darkness listening the the shouting of the crowd, slowly becoming a murmur and rumble. 60 thousand footsteps trudging towards the exit.
He spends a few moments standing there, staff around him waiting on bated breath, waiting for him to move. He's at least practicing his breathing exercises even if his body still feels like a weapon poised to attack.
When Hoseok closes his eyes, he sees each member of his pack as a pinprick of light against the map. Five dots clustered across the ocean back in Korea, one here close by, and one on the other side of the world. 7 dots and 7 breaths.
Seokjin is in France for an event that left him looking glittery and bejeweled. But he's existed as little more than sinful pictures and soft check-ins on Hoseok’s phone. His phone buzzes, but Hoseok keeps his eyes closed and breathes before he looks at it.
Those check-ins are the only way Hoseok stays sane these days. The updates from Jimin and Jungkook- shots of the dinner they make for the thousands of other recruits. 30 gallon pots of honey potatoes. Recordings of Namjoon's military band. The few promos that Taehyung is allowed to shoot- although he out of all of them is radio silent most weeks. Hoseok knows it's just because he's military police and has a higher clearance than them- even though Hoseok's technically a sergeant- but still-
Taehyung is a shifting wolf, he has different expectations than the rest of the pack.
Hoseok isn't in the military anymore. He's just Jung Hoseok. Only Hoseok could never be just Jung Hoseok- no matter what universe you put him in.
As long he knows exactly where and what his pack is doing the instincts are a little bit easier to bear. As long as he knows when Yoongi's going to come home, when Seokjin will be done with his photoshoot or recording session or this or that and is ready there waiting at the front door for a scenting or a brief nibble at their throat. Hoseok's instincts stay mostly in check.
Mostly. It's easier if Hoseok gives in, just a little bit, to what his alpha wants.
Hoseok's alpha wants more than Hoseok can give him right now, Hoseok's alpha wants blood, wants to tear this stadium apart and hunt across the city, tearing through anyone that steps in his way until he gets to you.
They haven’t all been together in so long his body is almost used to it. His body has adjusted. It’s been months now but there is still aggression that lurks under his skin, alpha constantly roiling to get out out out out. To get back to his pack, to drag them back by the scruff of their necks to the pack house and place them gently in your nest where they belong. Damning laws and discharge dates and all associated consequences.
The truth is that Hoseok's alpha doesn't know what to do when they're not together. Will keep him awake, will keep him from eating or resting. He'd heard that enlistment time could be dangerous for pack alphas, that many don't survive their 18 months without going feral at least once. Hoseok had skimmed by the skin of his teeth.
In many ways, the fight between man and alpha is like a dance, Hoseok’s alpha asks for obedience and Hoseok gives him his body but not his mind when he can help it. He runs and moves, and puts every ounce of discipline and dominance into his dance. His moves are always mastered, never shaky.
Hoseok's not sure he'd know it if he went feral.
When he'd been announced as pack alpha back just after their debut, there had been more than one article that questioned why the sunshine of the group, the ever-smiling and genial member, neither the largest nor the tallest was made pack alpha.
But size has nothing to do with it. Now, no one wonders. After seeing him perform solo on the stage they bought and paid for with their youth and hard work. After seeing him and what he can do no one questions him. Hoseok made discharge look effortless, no one would ever guess. No one would ever wonder.
Other times, Hoseok's alpha asks for more than Hoseok can give without showing it. Like tonight.
The only thing that made their military service at all tolerable was the fact that for those 6 months when the 6 of them had been in active service- at least Yoongi had been able to come home to you.
There’s a text from him on Hobi's phone and he's not asking about the show. Yoongi always watches the live stream and usually texts him the second he's hot off the stage. Asking about how it went even though he saw it. Namjoon might be the group leader but Yoongi has always felt a bit more like Hoseok's second in command.
Hoseok has no doubt that Yoongi saw right through him tonight, saw the furious crispness to his movements, and was able to tell how close he was to breaking. Hoseok doesn’t doubt that the other alpha checking his phone every few minutes. Anxiously waiting for Hoseok's response.
When Hoseok is certain he has enough control over his body that the text isn't going to make him trash the backstage area. He checks his phone.
Yoonie (10:32pm): How is she? Any news? Has her condition gotten any worse?
Yoonie (10:33pm): I know you're probably already considering it, but you know traveling isn't healthy for omega's long term. She needs her routine. You should consider sending her home.
Yoongi has gentler instincts and always has. But even he can't stay settled when their omega is sick. Yoongi also wasn’t taken away from you for a year and a half and taught to kill so Hoseok thinks he’s allowed to be a little on edge.
Hoseok shouldn't feel so fragile and so volatile. He should feel better. This is nothing compared to how it was right after he got back.
Yoongi's not the only one who's texted, the rest already have using their precious 30 minutes of phone time a day to check in. Most of the time, Hobi tries to time his updates to accumulate before they wake.
Jin gets it, Jin understands. Even though he's a beta. His text came through just before Hobi got on stage.
Jinnie (7:05pm): Let me know if you want me to change my flight.
They’ve been separated for a year. There was only Jin’s discharge and then his that they’ve all been together for. They all keep in regular contact and that’s not difficult. They check in and text daily and call weekly. But it's never enough.
As a pack with a registered omega they’re offered some allowances by the government. They get more days off and leeway if one of them gets sick or injured (like last month with Taehyung- Hoseok’s little alpha, bundled close in the nest, face tucked under your chin, so achingly still. His newly big body oh so carefully placed so that he wouldn’t strain his cracked rib.)
Alphas don’t have a better reason to fight than for omegas and recovery rates are always always higher if an alpha has been scented by an omega. The boost to their immune system alone is enough to make omega’s necessary for the war effort. The government even employs some omega's and compensates them greatly for their service as scenters.
The pack would never think about going to a government omega, not when they’ve got you at home.
As a bonded pack there’s no use, it wouldn’t work the same (and Hoseok would never offend you that way). But there’s less time given if more than one alpha is out. It’s one of the few reasons why Hoseok went in first so that he'd be able to help them all adjust when the time came.
He never expected to be the one to have trouble with it. To struggle to turn his instincts off now that they've been turned on.
The people around must be able to tell that Hoseok’s on edge, and the crowd too. Their cries reached a feral pitch, the same shouting that still vibrates the stage beneath his feet. Rage rolls off of him in waves as he stalks back to the dressing room. Smile and grin and smirk falling from his face.
They must be able to smell it on him underneath all the smell of the show, the gunpowder and fire from Hangsang, the roil of steam from sweet dreams, all irrelevant.
This is what they’ve all been waiting for for what feels like years, a chance to be on the stage again, a chance to perform. This is only the beginning leg of the tour and there are still kinks to work out and problems to solve. The logistical nightmare of moving staff and stage across multiple countries never ends. Hoseok is used to this. Hoseok is comfortable here.
He keeps telling himself that.
But right now, Hoseok can't think about it. He can't think about anything else but you.
Because you're sick.
~-~
Omegas are so rare that not every pack can have one.
Only those who can supply an above-average standard of life usually get one. Both prize and packmate. They're more common in celebrity and chaebol circles. Having an omega in your pack is the ultimate sign of success and wealth.
Some packs even have two, especially if the omega's have decided they're nestmates. But Hoseok can't imagine needing more than you.
A disease two generations ago wiped out nearly 90% of omega's. The sickness left only the most looked after, the most cared for unscathed. But those that were alive by the end of the nearly 10 year period scrambled to cope. To this day the omega population still hasn't recovered in any meaningful way. They make up only about 1 in every 100 individuals worldwide, less in Korea.
Most omega’s go through a very rigorous courting period if they're going to belong to a pack at all, only the richest and well-esteemed packs can covet one for for themselves. The rest of the world survives off of government-sponsored nesting and scenting services. There are even government agencies in charge of omega’s. Each omega gets an id card and a social worker. Hoseok hasn't had to talk to yours in years. Omegan Health Services or the OHS that tracks any omega that might have come into contact with the virus and quickly disseminates antivirals and vaccines.
You have to get yours every few months. Hoseok makes sure you never miss your appointments. Usually, he spends the following day confining you to the nest, immune to your restless squirming and your insistence that you're alright, just a little tired. Resistant to his insistence that he carry you where you need to go, that he fuss over you.
Luckily- the rest of the pack gangs up on you after your shots too. Namjoon puts your bandaid on the inside of your arm and Yoongi soothes your stomach with bone broth and light food to support your immune system. Each spoonful blown at, your lips dotted with reassuring kisses between bites. Jungkook and Taehyung usually wrap themselves around you like a living blanket to keep the shivers at bay. Nosing into your spine.
Only Hoseok and Yoongi usually attend your appointments. They're a little too intense for the others. Sometimes Jin comes. But he's the most likely to burst into tears and then you end up comforting him instead of the other way around.
Hoseok is usually good up until they actually put the needle into your skin. He'd broken a chair the first time he'd seen it. Gripping the wooden arm so hard as he heard your intake of pain that it had splintered under his hand.
There's a genetic component to being a pack alpha. Jungkook has the gene too. Hoseok has always been a little stronger, a little more resilient than the others.
Hoseok has only ever missed one of your appointments. Last year, the year Hoseok was enlisted for your shot. You'd spent weeks telling him he didn't have to take a day off for it (he'd been saving all of his leave for his packmate's ruts and your heat, but even then Hoseok knew he was going to have to miss one or two.) You said you'd be fine, that the shot wouldn't be too bad, you've had them before after all.
Only you hadn't been alright, you'd had to be hospitalized for it. It wasn't all that uncommon, omega's have weak immune systems and yours has always been particularly fragile.
Hoseok hardly remembers it. The static through the line, he'd hardly been able to hear Yoongi's voice over the roar of his heartbeat through his ears. An emergency call from Yoongi, something about an allergic reaction, anaphylaxis.
He'd have gone awol if his commander hadn't granted him emergency leave. His brain hadn't stopped roaring until he'd draped himself draped across your hospital bed after making an 8-hour car ride in 6 hours. Beret off, spilled and fallen onto the floor, face crumpling the second Yoongi rose from your opposite bedside.
"Namjoon will be here in an hour, she tried to stay up for you but the medication they had to give her made her drowsy."
Hoseok hadn't been able to speak, to respond to him. The sight of you in the bed. Small looking. The cannula. Supplying your body with oxygen because it's not getting enough. Everything screaming at Hoseok's instincts wrong wrong wrong. Fight protect keep safe.
Hoseok was terrified.
They'd given him a tranquilizer to stop him from pacing outside your door. Apparently its a normal occurrence in the relatively empty but well maintained omega's only wing of the hospital. Guards watch him with nervous expressions as they patrol the halls.
After that, he'd been a little more susceptible to Yoongi's gentle request that Hoseok should come sit by your bedside table. And what started as sitting turned into nuzzling into your hand turned into closing his eyes for just a moment.
You'd been rubbing your hands over his shaved head by the time he'd woken. He'd been so sure he'd been dreaming it, but Your honey voice is so soothing after hearing nothing but shouting to work harder and run faster you're so weak private Jung, can you even hit the target for weeks and weeks that it felt a bit like a lullaby to hear his own name spoken so gently, with such tenderness.
"Hobi, Oh Hobi. You didn't have to come all this way for me."
~-~
This is thankfully not that. Thankfully you're sick with just a cold and not the virus. But Hoseok doesn't take any sickness lightly. Not when it comes to you.
Modern medicine has come a long way, but still not far enough. Omegas are so rare a good portion of the population even abandons the idea of having an omega entirely. They’re not exactly a necessity for beta’s but for alphas- it’s a different story.
Hoseok can feel the hum of scent deprivation under his skin. The itch unlike any other. Hoseok cannot smell you on him, not his clothes or his skin. Nothing beyond the smell of sweat and alpha annoyance. Through any other performance, he’d at least have the scent of his pack on him. But not tonight, not until June when everyone will finally finally be together.
You’d been sleeping through the morning when he left, and he’d been reluctant to wake you on account of how you’d fallen asleep last night- or hadn’t. You’d been sniffling and coughing the whole night away. Hoseok had kept watch over you through it all.
What had started as a brief tickle in your throat around lunch yesterday (an easy meal- vegetables for Hobi and a tad bit of meat for you, fed from his own chopsticks, every brief shake of your head met with a disapproving look that you have long stopped disagreeing with. Hobi knows how much you are to eat, there's no reason why you need to worry your pretty little head about anything). Had developed into a fever and a few minutes of terror while they waited for the test to develop.
You've never gotten the sickness before but Hoseok knows how it would start; a feverishness like heat, then tiredness. And then all of a sudden you'd go to nest and wouldn't get up again without medical intervention. Might not get up at all. Might stop breathing- might-
He repeats it to himself again. That you're not sick with it. That this is just an ordinary cold. He has no reason to be so on edge.
The fans tonight could tell there was something wrong. Could spot it. Hoseok knows they're wondering if it's you. You aren’t a secret, but you are a private matter. A person that only the pack and the staff know by name. There have been pictures and speculation. They don't hide you but your last name is not public knowledge. You keep your face hidden almost constantly when you know you’re going to be spotted with them.
You are not someone to be jealous of but to be jealous for. You are not someone to be stalked or photographed. What they ordinarily tolerate out of necessity, they never do with you.
But alpha's are not always good at controlling their instincts. There have been incidents, not always because of them or their lack of control either. Jungkook had almost come to blows with an alpha who dared to sniff in your direction just before Jungkook's enlistment, a month or so after Hobi's.
~-~
The flash of the cameras are dizzying. There's a hush that falls over the room as you and Jungkook enter, before the roar redoubles- twice as loud as before.
You're mostly used to it by now, but still some things- like Jungkook close behind you, his big hand on the small of your back make it easier to tolerate. The press of people on either side of you is stifling, press and fans, guards and security. There's only a few moments of claustrophobia from the car to the showcase.
You hold your breath, and Jungkook stays close. It would be easier if your other alphas were here, but you're getting used to having them far away, to having them only on your phone or during evening phone calls. It's been enough months that Hoseok has stopped apologizing for leaving you and Namjoon has started making promises of all the things you'll do once you're home.
But still, sometimes you wake in the nest in the morning, big and empty of bodies, and feel so lonely it aches.
It will be worse when Jungkook goes. You know it will. Which is why you're tagging along today, why you've tagged along to schedules you'd normally avoid.
Sometimes you don't believe what hoseok says, the way that the world talks about omegas, they say you're more delicate, you're more breakable. Most of the time, you don't believe it.
Other times, like this, your anxiety rushes at you, and their touch becomes the only teather you have outside of the fear, the nervousness, the pounding tumble of your heart that ached for confined soft spaces, warmth and enclosed safety. A nest.
But you do away with your instincts today, in favor of staying close. A few more weeks, you only have a few more weeks until Jungkook goes and you don't want to waste a single minute.
One moment you're in front of Jungkook, walking almost instep with him as he leads you through rows and rows of security. You know what you'll look like in magazines later, wide eyes perched over a mask, hat with bunny ears flopping. Swallowed whole by a jacket, small next to your alpha. That there will be articles and breakdowns of your every movement.
Bangtan's omega stuns in louis vuitton, does this belong to the brand ambassador? Could a possible colab be on the way? Our experts weigh in.
Little is known about the countries darling, but here are 10 things you may not have noticed based on her last appearance. Read what our omega correspondent says about her body language on page 15.
Being an omega can get a little frustrating. You're not the only one scrutinized this way, most omega's that mate with public figures are the topic of the tabloids. You'd flopped against hoseok's chest the first time it happened, "they only saw my forehead! how are they talking about skincare routine when they don't even know?" he'd just pressed his forhead against yours, nuzzling your nose playfully.
"I hate to tell you that you should get used to it but- the press are just kind of like that."
Most of them keep their distance. tipping their head as you pass. it doesn't make you weirded out or nervous, it just is this way. You take off your hat and mask the second you're clear of the doors and fans, about to turn and say something to Jungkook. You don't see the dark figure at the end of the hall leaning forward ever so slightly.
But Jungkook does.
it happens so quick you can't even blink, one moment you're stumbling, turning to say something to him, a security gaurd reaching out to steady you- The next moment you're holding Jungkook back around his waist, blood on his knuckles and a growl on the air.
More than one security guard and staff gets between you and the other alpha. He spits blood on the floor. Some of it hits your legs.
Your ears ring, and you can't hear anything as Jungkook shoves you behind him. Two other security guards have to hold him back. Hands shaking out of their hold.
They'd still been shaking, as he used a wet wipe to clean the blood off of your legs after.
You just don't sniff at an omega without permission, let alone reach to touch them. Let alone an omega with a pack.
"Jeon Jungkook! No! Bad!"
You don't like using their full names, never have, it's always pet names with you. Hoseok can already hear the gentle velvet of your voice crooning softly, "Hobi, are you okay? Do you want to come lay down in my nest for a bit? Can you come here alpha? I want to scent you."
You are the only person for whom his instincts bend. You are the only person he ever willingly takes orders from. The fight worn out of his body at your simplest request.
Hoseok takes Emergency pack alpha leave precious and dwindling by the month, just to handle the situation again. But disciplining his pack takes precedent.
A tidy settlement had kept the situation from leaking to the press, although Hoseok could hardly blame Jungkook for acting aggressively. His head had hung the entire time Hoseok been home. Jungkook doesn't like disappointing the pack alpha. Especially not now, when they don't have days and weeks of proximity and routine to get back on even ground. Not when Hoseok only has 24 hours, and has to leave in the morning.
It only takes one touch for Hoseok to bring him to his knees. A hand on the back of his neck the second they're clear of the outside. The pack house, dusty and mostly empty. Jungkook's mouth has been running wild since Hoseok first walked into the company building. Apologizing to anyone who would listen.
But Hoseok hadn't accepted the apology until they'd been in private.
"Do you know why you're sorry Jungkook?"
You're sat across Hoseok's lap for it, sniffling slightly. Soothed by the rhythmic brush of his hand down his back, your cold nose pressed against his throat. He hadn't even bothered to change out of his uniform before this. Jungkook is on his knees between Hoseok's parted thighs. Inches from you and kept at a distance by sheer obedience. Hoseok admires Jungkook's restraint. Not every alpha could resist nuzzling into an omega's thighs, especially one so close.
Hoseok knows his weaknesses. Jungkook is also a good alpha. Hoseok's most obedient one. But even then he's not even looking at Hobi when as he kneels.
Jungkook looks at you and blinks back tears. Hoseok wants to lick at the alpha's pretty canines, wants to press your faces together and make you kiss. Make it messy just for him. He redoubles his hold on you. holding you tighter. You lap at his scent gland, trying to soothe yourself, nearly suckling at the skin of his throat.
"For offending our omega and...for putting her in danger?" Jungkook's hands slid down Hoseok's calf muscles, but Hoseok just tipped his feet wider. Giving Jungkook more room.
The ball of your foot pressed against Jungkook's shoulder, undeterred, the younger alpha only tries to nose up your leg. Hoseok nudges between his legs with his boot and Jungkook makes a noise- somewhere between a whine and a growl.
"Look at me. not at her." Hoseok keeps him still, and yet- there's only seconds before Jungkook's attention is diverted from the pack alpha's face to yours.
"And how did you do that? How did you put her in danger? Tell alpha."
"For Fighting? For hitting him?"
Hoseok is quick to reassure him with a hand on his chin, rubbing across Jungkook's cheek. "No no no, you did that perfectly. Alpha is so proud of you for defending our omega like that, try again."
"Because" Jungkook is having a hard time stringing his words together with Hoseok's boot pressed to certain places. But that's the point. Hoseok owns all of him like this, the sole of his rubber boot pressed against his knot, gently pressing it snug between Jungkook's body and the unyielding weight of his dominance. The other alpha pants openly. Hoseok can tell that it hurts. Can tell that Jungkook likes it to by the way his mouth opens in a soundless groan.
"Because I did it infront of her?"
"Yes. And why was that bad?"
"Because stress isn't good for omega's? They're too fragile for it." That Jungkook does not say shakily. He, like Hoseok, knows it in his bones that he speaks the truth.
hoseok is perilously weak not to reward him.
"That's right. Good boy. My smart boy. Pull your pants down for alpha and show me your knot." Jungkook pushes into Hoseok's hand like a puppy, letting out a shaky relieved breath at the words. You squirm a little, stilling when you feel Hoseok's hands go firm on your waist. A wordless command to keep still and stay where alpha wants you.
Jungkook rushes to comply, eager to be good. cock popping free, hitting his toned stomach with a light plop. Resting his chin on Hoseok's knee once he's finished.
He waits. You squirm. Looking at him over your shoulder and then at Hoseok. blushing furiously. unnerved by jungkook's complete obedience. Like you're struggling not to give it to.
You rub your nose up and down the column of his throat like you're trying to soothe yourself. "M' not fragile." Hoseok pulls back to peck your nose, humming and willing to play along. His hands on you are gentle, almost too gentle.
"Of course you're not. My sweet little pup. You’re so so brave, you didn’t even cry for that long and alpha is so so proud."
He adjusts his gaze to Jungkook, who has resorted to clinging to Hoseok's legs again for comfort. Pretending he's not rutting his hips in tentative circles and making a mess of Hoseok's pant leg. Eyes teary and worked up. Teeth half bared in aggression like he wants to submit completely but can't quite will himself too. his alpha bubbling up.
"It was just...Scary." You say, quiet and soft. And when you reached down to touch Jungkook's hair, Hoseok lets you.
Jungkook sags into the touch. He chases your scent gland taking deep grateful lungfuls of the scent there. lips parted against your skin. The ache between his thighs forgotten. Teeth almost pressed and bared. But he wouldn't dare nip at you, not when you're sat in Hoseok lap.
This time when apologies dribble from his lips, Hoseok feels like he means it. "I'm sorry- I'm sorry. I won't do that again in front of her- I didn't mean too-"
Hoseok presses his shoe against Jungkook's cock again, This time there's no fabric guarding the harsh dig of the leather and tred from dimpling Jungkook's skin. The alpha yelps. Thighs shaking with the effort it takes him to stay still. Body going rigid.
When Hoseok takes his shoe off, there's a bit of white wet liquid, staining the dark leather. Hoseok's smile is near feral.
"All will be forgiven, Don't you want to show hyung how good you can be? I think you owe our pup a little stress relief Kookie." Hoseok simply shifts you in his lap. Draping one leg over either knee. Fingers dipping between your legs, low. Fingers parting warmth and sweet. Jungkook's blubbering cuts off.
"All you have to do it open your mouth and apologize."
~-~
Jungkook had been sorry, for almost inadvertently pushing your capabilities. The whole world treats omega's like this- like they are inherently fragile.
You are someone that the fans would never shove or push at. It's generally considered a taboo to be rough with omegas at all and more than one idol has had to issue a public apology after tugging their omega's hand a little too roughly at the airport or through crowds of fans.
At least outside of private matters. Behind closed doors, it's more up to what the individual omega wants. At least that's what Hoseok's learning with you.
It's also considered the bare minimum to provide for your omega an extravagant life. That at least- Hoseok does not struggle with. It's easy to spoil you, instinctual almost. To protect and provide and please.
All in all Hoseok is more straightforward that you might expect, he'll give his pack everything so long as they hold nothing back in return.
Being on tour with him means you can try things you wouldn’t ordinarily eat and go places you wouldn’t normally go. To art museums and shopping districts for pretty little diamond studded collars and comfortable designer nesting supplies. Café's for famous desserts shaped like flowers and figs, and even the exclusive omega section at Fao Schwartz.
The packages for that have already been sent back to Seoul where they no doubt fill the entryway of the pack house. Probably carefully unwrapped and organized by yoongi, still in their silk bags on the border of your personal nest at home. A custom-made monstrosity that Hoseok had made for you and Yoongi designed that cost a small fortune.
But Hoseok had no qualms with him spending the pack's money on that. Not even back at the beginning of your courtship and relationship. Nothing but the best for you.
But delicate requests for room service and delivery from a restaurant you’d wanted to try with a promise for more at the next tour stop are now forgotten. Everything is forgotten now that you're sick.
He’s aware he’s been followed, his manager, a bodyguard, a makeup Noona trail behind him as he stalks in the direction of the dressing room. Where his clothes are, where he can get his things and leave. He can feel the rage polishing his canines already.
It makes his grin wider, teeth sharper in the privacy of darkness. Hoseok is snarling at the shadows, the toothy grin crazed as he finally makes it back to the dressing room. Tearing off his jacket popping the buttons and ripping the hem of it in the process.
It can be fixed before the next performance. Hoseok would rip 100 jackets to get home to you even a second quicker.
Unlike usual, no one offers him congratulations and he doesn’t offer any thanks or encouragement. His hands shake as he bends down to undo his shoes, all but yanking them off of him. His necklaces get tangled around his fingers, 7 of them- one for each packmate, and the second he starts to tear at them. Someone reaches for him- to stop him.
Hoseok turns and nearly lunges at Mr. Lee.
Hoseok imagines it perfectly, teeth sinking in, popping through skin and blood. The image is so visceral that Hoseok almost confuses it with reality. The familiar iron tang on the back of his throat what his instincts demand.
He stops himself just narrowly before he can get to his throat. He loses a growl. A sound so bone chilling that no one dare moves a muscle.
Only pure familiarity keeps him from actually biting the other man. the fact that Hoseok's alpha has sort of identified him as someone safe. But the scent of alpha aggression in the air makes everyone, even the lowliest stagehand, pause where they’re gathered. Hoseok bares his teeth and breathes. Struggling to contain himself.
Mr. Lee doesn't flinch, doesn't even raise his eyebrows at Hobi, looking at him with that same impassive expression. Not intimidated in the slightest by Hoseok snapping his teeth.
His hand smooth over the necklaces. He lets go of Hoseok gently.
Honestly, he should be more careful, they were gifts from the pack. The pack like matching their clothes, their shoes, their jewelry, and matching pack items are fairly common, especially in larger packs.
Hoseok in particular likes to have one thing from each of them on his person at most times, especially when he's traveling. Especially since he hasn't given any of them mating bites yet (none of them could stomach the idea of doing it before service). A little memento to keep them close. The biggest necklaces are from Yoongi and Namjoon and the smallest one is from you. Each of them cost no small sum, they're monetarily valuable as well as sentimental to Hoseok.
Hoseok doesn't thank Mr.Lee as he holds his breath, counts to seven, and goes back to taking them off, this time more gently without yanking at the clasps hard enough to bend the metal. even though he's breathing heavy. even though his hands are shaking. Hoseok struggles but there’s already someone behind him undoing the clasps and finally, it feels like he can breathe.
“Sorry. I’m fine I’m fine just-” Hoseok scrubs his hand across his face. Holding the necklaces in one hand. The diamonds sway. long strands handing towards the floor.
“Can I change in the car?” Hoseok is not asking, even if it’s phrased as a question.
With the way Seejin is looking at him, Hoseok knows the answer, and that he doesn’t want to say it. “Fine just- hurry.” Everyone knows why he's on edge, why he’s off.
Everyone here is well acquainted with the pack's omega.
The first few shows you'd ever attended, you'd been quite the distraction. Falling asleep in Namjoon's lap during his makeup. tugging on Jungkook's shirt while he was getting dressed, playfully feeling Jimin's hair while he was warming up and cutting off his notes. Unwilling to let any of them go on stage without being scented. a reminder as you lingered in the wings of the stage, in their peripheral vision that made even Hoseok stumble.
Occasionally you still attend their concerts to remind them of the power you hold, that as much as you give in to their impulses, they're also beholdent to yours. The leash goes both ways.
You're a little bit of a legend among the makeup noonas, managers, and bodygaurds. Because before enlistment and before any of this, before you’d been theirs, you’d been here working alongside them- a member of the support staff.
~-~
Omegas aren’t officially banned from working, not in any legal or governmental capacity.
Every few years some asshole petitions the current government to put some ban on them working and demand they remain registered to one alpha and one alpha only as is natural. But in all reality, the world could not survive without omegas at least taking some modicum of independence for themselves.
A good number of them appreciate their freedom. Just not you.
Hoseok doesn't like to consider the world where there are no working Omega's, a world where they aren't allowed to help. Now that he's seen the military, and seen what it's like when alphas are taken outside of their normal routine and pack structure and put all together. The idea is even more unsettling.
Without omega's, alphas would break out into all-out war.
Hoseok imagines The rage. The quiet of devastation of murder out of necessity. Alphas already have a hard time restraining their instincts even with an omega. Every few weeks there are stories of some alpha going feral on the news. Can you imagine going 8 weeks without being scented? That sounds terrible. I don't think I'd last 4.
Omega’s are too gentle to do most jobs that aren't specifically designed for them. Omegas are sensitive, in need of protection from just about everything. No fear is too small, not fear of thunder or fear of darkness. Anything that can lurk can be killed, and alphas will kill for omegas. It’s a culturally accepted fact.
No alpha can maintain their instincts for long and keep them under control without an omega scenting them docile at least once a week, it's biological, a necessity as much as drinking water or eating. For beta's its slightly less- they get more snapish than feral. they need it maybe once a month.
Hoseok has still seen seokjin's hands shake, has still suffered through more than one sleepless night with jimin. His body and his brain fighting his instinct to stay awake.
There are modern solutions for age old problems of course. Before you the pack subsided the same way the rest of the population did. There are upscale scenting parlors on just about every street corner in the city, private institutions designed with open air booths or similar to cafes that pay out omega's handsomely for a little acess to their wrists or if they're feeling particularly brave- their throats.
Most priced too expensive for the average person to afford, let alone a couple of broke trainees drunk on foolish dreams. There are alternatives for most of the population. Synthetic omega scent (that always smelled too chemical to Hoseok) available for purchase at every convenience store. Fortified drinks with omega pheromones that sort of work that keep you awake when you need to make deadlines. Yoongi used to overindulge in them.
If you're willing to pay extra, you can even buy something that's actually been scented by an omega. They have boutiques for it.
Although very very few packs can have an omega- most idol companies at least employ one designated omega scenter. They’re becoming more and more popular. A perk, similar to a 401k or unlimited PTO. See you don't need to worry about who will scent you next. See, if you're having a bad day or need help pushing through, we have what many don't.
And still- despite their necessity. Not all societies worship omegas. In certain pockets of the world, omegas are thought of as spoiled and lazy. Some are even kept secret to keep their freedoms, their omegan instincts suppressed until later by medications.
Either consensually or non-consensually in your case. You hadn’t known, not until you were well into your teenage years and nearly a legal adult, that you were an omega. Your instincts remained mostly dormant (and what didn't stay dormant you neglected). sometimes you still struggle to understand what your omega wants.
The others just think you're a little more spirited than a regular omega. But Hoseok knows. Hoseok's alpha has always been able to sniff it out.
Hoseok's blood still boils when he thinks about what your parents did to you. They did it in the name of protecting you but still. He'll still rant if given the opportunity (as long as it doesn't set you on edge). Hoseok's ranting is usually met with understanding from the other alphas and chagrined comfort from the betas in his pack.
The alphas understand that the anger never really goes away. But Seokjin and Jimin are different. They get a little spooked when Hoseok shows how truly angry he is.
Jimin usually exits the room when the others decide to indulge hoseok when he wants to hash it out again. He and Taehyung and Yoongi and Namjoon will find themselves in Yoongi's studio with a twelve-pack or they'll hit golf balls off the roof of the company building when the restlessness of unmet anger really tares at them. Hashing it out yet again until the rage has quieted to a dulcet murmur and Hoseok feels like writing songs about it again.
But not now. Hoseok can't calm himself down right now- Not right now when you’re back in the hotel room running a fever. A fucking fever.
You can’t blame Hoseok. He’s protective of you for a reason. It’s not only the omega plague that has him concerned but…your general health.
It's been harder to resist the temptation to worry since after his military service. Without all of them here to temper his anger and calm him down, Hoseok's alpha has been running a little wild. Bubbling up under the surface. Constantly close and whispering in his ear.
You even thing you see it come out on stage sometimes. Sometimes when he commands the crowd or asks them to roar for him it feels almost like he's using alpha voice with them.
You’d noticed the shift in Hoseok the second he’d come back. The second he took off his uniform for the last time after 18 months. His instincts were closer to the surface than ever before. He was so quiet. So silent. None of his usual electric energy, none of his quiet sureness that you were so used to.
Hoseok hates to admit it and hates it when anyone brings it up, but military service had changed him (and not in a good way).
It’s a good thing he has you- if it wasn’t for you- Hoseok doesn’t know if he’d have been able to find his way back to himself.
~-~
Coming home went something like this:
His eyes were wide through the live, open and unsure, a dazed look, almost shell shocked. Trembling with the new weight of old feelings. The position is familiar but the anxiety at his every move being watched- is unmatched. Like Jamais vu. How did being in front of the camera get so scary?
Hoseok used to be so good at this- at being an idol. They used to do this all the time almost without thought before enlistment. Are his movements too jerky? Can the fans tell that he's about to burst into tears? Can they tell? do they notice?
Is Hoseok not good at this anymore?
Leaving his station had felt like walking away from a nightmare only to find himself still asleep, somewhere between a night terror and a sweet dream. Because you were there in the van. You were there. A small body that nearly collided with his with how fast you pushed yourself to grab him the second he'd opened the door, A hand on your back and Hobi's neck, Yoongi close behind.
The cameras had only gotten one picture. Small arms wrapped around his waist and a blurry profile of a face pressed into his stomach.
Now, he listens to the sound of Yoongi prattling to Jin in the kitchen. sitting on the edge of your bed in the packhouse trying to decompress. there's an invitation to shower off the scent of the barracks before dinner that remains unfulfilled. The air smells like garlic and gochujang. the tang of ssamjang too. Smoke and fire. hoseok still hasn't undressed.
But Hoseok just sits on the bed. Hoseok can't move, lead weights attached to his extremities. Frozen there. Listening to the three of you and scenting the air.
the whole house smells like you, Jin, and Yoongi. just the three of you. none of the other alpha's, not Jimin. Hoseok never thought it would smell strange to him. Never thought that it would smell even a little unfamiliar.
Yoongi is all tangerine goodness. Bright and fragrant just on the edge of ripeness. Jin is soft as a peach, sweet and gentle. But You- oh you-
You smell like warm berry jam and nighttime summer air. Something drippy sweet and dark. Like the hint of sunshine and warmth and like syrup moving slow. Those early summer evenings where you can still smell the sun on the air even though it's already set.
Hoseok breathes it in through his teeth, Gritted. On edge. Alpha close under his skin.
Jin's teasing and Yoongi's low murmur fill the air around your bird chirps and squeaks, even when he falls silent. Absorbing it all, adjusting. It's only been a few hours. Only a few. Hoseok should cut himself some slack for not immediately being chipper and lighthearted.
Yoongi sounds relieved and excited even from here. There’s expensive champagne to celebrate (Hoseok hardly tasted his glass when he downed it, trying to calm his nerves) and a home-cooked meal that Hoseok has been looking forward to for months.
He hears the murmurs too, Yoongi breathing heavy, tense. Words he thinks Hoseok can't hear. "He's so skinny hyung, I saw him take off his jacket and I could see every tendon."
"I know, I know, but he's back now, he's safe, that's all we can change now. At least it's over for him."
"But the others."
"Baby I know." A quiet whine, a chirp. "don't you worry your little head about it darling, you just sit there, would you like to try the first piece? it's almost done. You don't need to save it for alpha, he'd want you to have it." It takes everything in Hoseok not to storm into the other room and feed it to you himself.
Hoseok knows what he looks like, knows that he's skinnier than normal, that he looks underfed and somehow more muscular than before. starved for something that isn't food maybe. the military keeps alphas well fed but not satiated. feeds them enough protein and wolfsbane to make them stronger and yet more susceptible.
But in the meantime worry and anxiety have eaten away at him. His cheeks are hollow and his thin birdlike bones look like they've been wrapped with corded muscle. You'd squeezed them appreciatively earlier, the same as you had with Jin. And Yoongi's eye roll had been hassling. But even the other alpha smelled pleased.
"Yah what am I going to do, if they all come back like this it's going to be me and you against the world pup." You'd giggled, and Hobi had delighted you by letting you hang from his arm.
hoseok couldn't explain why when he looks at you he feels like crying. you're wrapped in your most comforting clothing, an old sweatshirt of his that he hasn't worn in two years and has a new hole at the hem like you've worn it every day in his absence. Giggling softly as you try and hang. Yoongi's hand twitches like he's sort of ready to catch you incase you teeter.
"You're so strong now! Bet you're stronger than Jungkookie even! you can lift me all the time not just when you wanna show off!"
"He could always lift you pup," Jin had crooned looking down at you, a head taller, stooping to drop a kiss on your forehead. His knowing smirk light and teasing. "Hobi just feels like lifting you is more for him than for you so he resists, kind of like how I feel about hugging- like this."
Jin has the longest arms but for what he can't reach Yoongi makes up for. The second he reaches around you and Hobi- Yoongi mirrors him. Both of them are in sync and Hoseok mistimed. off beat. Missing a step. Yoongi and Jin squeeze both of them pushing their chests together and trapping both you and Hobi in a Yoonjin sandwich.
Hoseok can feel how gently they do it. going slow so as to not aggravate his instincts. His alpha cocks his head, unused to the careful affection. They keep squeezing until both of you devolve into giggles and until Hoseok is laughing for real. Unbidden, face crumpling towards the end.
The pack house is part of a gated community. Insulated from the public eye by high walls and a guarded gate. It’s a mixture of modern Western architecture on the outside and traditional Korean wood tones and airy skylights on the interior.
Everyone has a bedroom although they more often than not find themselves scattered in pairs or trios. When the pack doesn't have a schedule to attend to the following day and your health allows for it- they pile into your bedroom heaped all over each other. Unworried about sleeping in uncomfortable positions or needing to wake up everyone to pee.
It's adjacent to your nest room and the kitchen on the ground floor- because you were as equally as prone to bumping into things and tripping as Namjoon. The pack couldn’t bear the idea of you having to go up and down the stairs every night.
You could call them overprotective and you would be right. Your comment about Hoseok carrying you wasn't just teasing. You're lucky your alpha's keep you on such a long (and thankfully metaphorical) leash.
Many many omegas find themselves in more controlling situations than you do. Monitored, and kept safe by personal bodyguards or packmates (often times beta's or lower ranking alphas whose sole job in the pack structure is to protect and guard the pack's omega).
The closest thing you have to that is Jungkook and Taehyung. You don't think it's that over the top. In some parts of the world omega's occasionally disappear. Snatched from street corners or stolen from nests in the dead of night. Usually just after the presentation when they haven't found a pack yet to keep them safe.
You're lucky that the pack only sometimes ask to carry you up and down the stairs. You're lucky they don't have the habit of 'omega wearing' as some more traditional all-alpha packs do. No one's kept omega's like that- as little more than pets- in generations. You don't live in a country that requires omegas to wear a collar when they're out in public.
But still, sometimes it's hard not to be protective. You're used to most of it, every time that you so much as pick up a butter knife someone's shushing you and taking it from you. When you bend down to tie your shoes someone is already on their knees before you. Your jacket is always zipped for you, mittens always on, scarf tucked. Whenever you try and put a shirt over your head someone is aiding you. You've lost track of the times that you've heard them say "let alpha do it."
Jimin doesn't even ask, he just glares and puts his hands on his hips if you struggle too much. Surprisingly stern when you feel like you want to squirm or struggle. He's one of the very few packmates whose not uncomfortable landing a swat over your behind or making you write lines.
Jimin is very very particular about the rules. there are others that apply to the rest of them like 'no staying at the studio over night' and 'pt once a week, no butts' and 'no skipping meals for practice' but there are other ones specifically for you that go a little over the top.
Rules like I will tell my packmates when I'm feeling overstimulated and I will not go places in public alone without someone there to protect me. I will not behave in a way that puts my physical wellbeing in danger even inadvertently. If I go into omegaspace I will go and get someone no matter what they're doing because I cannot be left alone unsupervised.
Other things too like- when i feel needy i will not touch myself like a greedy little pup when I have 7 healthy packmates to fuck me. When I want a knot I will not demand it but ask for it nicely and say please and thank you. I will not take out my plug after breeding until Jiminie or Hoseokie or Namjoonie has told me I can. When I want bruises during a spanking or a settling I will clear it with every alpha first starting with Hoseokie and then Yoongi and Namjoon, then Jinnie, and Jungkookie and Taehyungie, only then will Minnie take you over his lap.
And you'll say please and thank you.
You're getting a bit ahead of yourself. Jimin is a very very particular beta. You miss him so much it aches. You miss all of them so much it hurts you, manifests as a physical ache in your temples or under your ribs. A breathless furious need to burrow away where no one could see you. unsafe without your familiar cadre of packmates.
Most of the ways that they take care of you are completely innocent. A tangle in your hair is hardly there before someone asks you to come sit between their thighs, brush in hand. You rarely ever have to sit on your own, a rotating schedule of who gets to have you in their lap during meal times. You haven't picked out your own clothes in years- someone's always there to do it for you.
At least not before enlistment.
After enlistment, you'd learned to do alot for yourself again. With Yoongi home in the evenings, it wasn't quite as lonely as it could have been but still-
It's the little things, that you'd struggled to accept at first that you ended up missing the most. It's insane to you now how you used to live before. That you were used to being independent and uncared for.
Maybe the truth is you don't hate all of it. It was so much nicer than being hissed at and shunned. You don't hate it when you fall asleep in the car or the couch and Namjoon or Hoseok carries you to your bed. You don't hate it when you're in public and someone is always gripping your arm or hold your wrist and guiding over every uneven doorway or step down. holding the back of your head when they guide you to bite. You don't mind the "hold my hand pup" or "Someone's too small for that, let alpha do it."
It's strange sure, but it's a little true. even when you don't want to admit it.
It's strange when Seokjin blows on your spoon of soup before letting you take a bite. When the alphas growl at you if you linger too close to someone who's not them- But it makes you feel comfortable and cared for in a way that you weren't always used to.
Treasured. That's the word for it. You're their treasure. You don't cringe about it when you remember anymore. (The truth is that the pack has made you a bit spoiled now. You don't resist their babying nearly as much as you used too).
It had felt like something of a game at the beginning. You asked for things to see if you could and they fulfilled it, only to shrink before what they actually wanted to give. But eventually you got so used to them handling everything that even when you'd squirmed and struggled and called too much you'd trusted them enough to let them push- and you'd eventually given in.
Maybe you'd be more used to it if you were born an omega (you were born an omega, you try to remind yourself. It just feels like you weren't sometimes).
Now their bedrooms are spaces that you haunt when you miss them. when they're home there are still moments when they each need their own space to either sleep without temptation or decompress after their busy schedules. It serves no one if they always wake each other up by leaving early for filming, or practice, or meetings.
The only bedroom that’s fit with a bed big enough for all of them is your bedroom, more out of necessity than anything else since your bed is the defacto favorite. You’d tried for a normal bed when you’d first moved in but found it quickly overrun and too crowded by packmates. Giving you the largest bedroom was something Hoseok insisted upon.
His own bedroom is now across the courtyard next to Yoongi’s, hardly used. Last time Hoseok checked, Yoongi had taken to storing some of his recording equipment in there, had propped the old bed up against the wall to make room for a pseudo recording studio. Before enlistment Hoseok rarely spent a night away from you, only if you were sick again and if he had an early schedule and didn’t want to wake you- and even then- he'd just rather steal away to someone else's room rather than sleep on his own.
The packhouse is arranged in a big rectangle with an open-air courtyard at the center. The soil there is crammed close with as many plants as Namjoon can stuff there. Tended to by staff twice a week now that the alpha isn’t home regularly to look after his precious camellia and cloud-pruned spruces. The cherry tree sits stubby, blooms just tempting to burst but not here yet. by spring time a small patch of grass will sit studded with clovers and small flowers, a spot for you to lounge in the middle of the day and curl up like a cat in a puddle of sunshine.
Hoseok and Yoongi are on the other side of the courtyard adjacent to the entrance. close to it just incase anyone tried to enter. The rest of the pack is upstairs. In their various bedrooms scattered between the workout room and entertainment center a larger studio space and a tiny art room where taehyung stores his canvases.
Now, Hoseok sits in your empty bedroom. Trying to decompress. Emphasis on trying.
It's hard when every time he shuts his eyes a new memory assaults him. It's hard to stay present. Hoseok knows his breathing is getting more and more ragged the longer he spends alone. It's so quiet here in the pack house. Hoseok's alpha doesn't like it.
Hoseok closes his eyes and a gun goes off. The feeling of a gun in his hand is heavy and impersonal. Hot and sweaty beneath his fingertips.
He opens them and sees your striped red and pink robe hanging by the door, side by side with Taehyung's green and yellow one. Yours warn and his brand new but both of them purchased on the same day. Taehyung just hasn't been here to use it.
He closes them and a sergeant is yelling in his face. Prodding his shoulder with their finger until his body moves. Hoseok can feel the growl in his throat threatening to burst.
Hoseok opens his eyes and notes that you've dropped one of your heated stuffed animals on the ground, that it's rolled half under the bed, he retrieves it and sets it on the bedside table.
Hoseok blinks again and Hoseok must not be composed enough. He must lift his lip because they're yelling at him to drop and give 50. But it's better than being on night watch for a week. Better than sleepless nights spent staring into the darkness and snow, not better than your bed here, plush and soft, smelling like good summer evenings.
Hoseok undresses in the barrack bathroom shoving the second someone comes too close, body-calling threats before he's even turned to see who it is. Hot water is better than the cold that digs into Hoseok's body like it's something with teeth and claws.
On night watch near the northern border. His fear plays tricks on him, you can only look into the darkness for so long before your mind plays tricks on you. You can only hunt monsters and play at being a killer before you start to feel too real.
Hoseok takes a deep breath and counts to seven.
Tonight is supposed to be full of his favorite things. Marinated crispy beef and seafood that smells rich and buttery on the air, music playing low. Things that Hoseok hasn’t been able to indulge in in months.
Like Yoongi’s cooking and your head in his lap after. Winding down and going slow. Easy slowness warming up to it so that Hoseok can start to get used to living again. He'll go back to work tomorrow with Jinnie because he doesn't have time to waste but with this and everything else. He'll adjust.
Hoseok doesn't have to be asleep tonight by the zero hour and doesn't have to be up tomorrow morning for early drills. He can sleep as long as he wants and He's not going to be able to enjoy it at all. Not while he's so keyed up.
He tries and does his best. Breathing in and out to calm his heart rate, decompressing in the half-darkness of the bedroom. It feels a bit too much like a shrine. There in the corner is Taehyung's record player collecting dust, and there on the shelf is Jimin's cologne.
Jimin doesn't always like to hide his scent, lightly floral, something delicate like roses or lychee, fruity and divine for a beta. You like to press your face into his throat hard enough to make Jiminie giggle. Hard enough to tip him over. He's prone to exaggeration. But when it comes to others outside of the pack Jimin prefers to hide his scent with a light layer of cologne, pushing it just a little more subdued, a little more masculine.
Scents are up to everyone's preference, and a fair amount of betas wear scent blockers and Jimin prefers to keep his scent for only the pack to indulge in and enjoy.
Namjoon's bonsai tree sits in the nook by the window, clipping shears and a pair of reinforced gloves (because the pack can't even let you handle scissors without worrying a little). A piece of Jungkook's artwork hangs above the bed. something that was sort of a courting present for you, it's mostly artful splatters but when you look at it in just the right light- it almost looks like a pair of eyes. Pieces are everywhere but no pack.
All of it, all of those months of discipline and control are gone now. Done and over. Everything is in frightening detail. His civilian clothes sit folded, his jacket off in just his undershirt now.
You scented them. Hoseok can smell it even without bringing it to his nose. Everything feels a little too sensory, a little too close. Like Hoseok is too aware of his body and how different his surroundings are. He closes his eyes because he can't bear how strange his life all looks.
Hoseok knew he had to be the first alpha out, he knew that this would be difficult. That it would be hard for the others to adjust and that it would be beneficial for them all if the pack alpha came home and got settled first. Hoseok can't imagine any of his alpha pups feeling this way, can't imagine Taehyung or Namjoon or Jungkook feeling like this. So tremulous, so fragile, and yet so volatile.
There are no barked orders, there is no rigorous schedule here. Just the scrape of a wooden spoon across a pan and the quiet comfort of home (but hoseok still feels homesick). Jin's creaky laugh, and the burst of champagne. The shuffle of slippered feet across the floor too.
You’re talking to them in the kitchen, can hear Yoongi ask if you need help carrying Hoseok's champagne glass to him- a silly thing to say. but instincts are a little silly sometimes. Hoseok swallows back a lump in his throat at it.
It's not like you’re strangers again, he's had nightly phone calls and daily texts and a night or two of leave a month. It’s only been weeks since he last saw you. But keeping it together for a day before he goes back to the day-in-day-out rigor of the military is different than coming home for good.
This means more, this is different. Hoseok isn't going back. He's never going back.
He holds his breath and counts to seven, then 14, then 21, 35, 49, until he's half gasping.
Hoseok feels the need to catalog everything, the curtains pulled against the window. when did you stop sleeping with the sunlight?Your slippers by the door, new. The plates in the kitchen green instead of white. What happened to your old ones? When did you stop wearing bunny slippers and start wearing matching kitty ones with Yoongi? What more has Hoseok missed by not being here?
The scent of omega anxiety is on the air, scared and nervous. You’d been feeling all those things this morning when you’d woken. Hoseok can smell it on the bed. A nightmare? Have you been having nightmares? Is that what it is?
That’s not all Hoseok can smell, the dewy sweet scent of omega slick lingers too. Slightly stale. The spicey tang of another alpha’s arousal also tingles at Hoseok's nose. Yoongi’s and Jin’s if Hoseok breathes deep, tracing the fresh scent of tangerines and peaches, a pure scent that deepens. Soothing, a balm to his nerves and likely yours.
Whatever solution the others found for your anxiety was the intimate sort. Hoseok can tell.
Just like he can tell that someone had stripped the sheets, had taken your clothes- drenched with the scent of omega arousal, out of the basket in the corner and taken it out, probably to keep Hoseok from scenting it, probably to keep Hoseok from being on edge.
but instead of making him comforted, it just makes him feel like a failure.
Failure, failure of a pack alpha. what kind of alpha is he that he can't even handle a hint of a nightmare? He’s angry, and not at you or at Jin or Yoongi, but at the situation. At things he can't change.
Hoseok can't hear your light footsteps. Can hear them get closer and closer and closer until you're a silhouette in the doorway, lingering, unsure. Catching him like this, sat on the edge of the pack bed, legs parted, head in his hands.
Hoseok opens his eyes; a shadow cuts across the light that streams in, and he flinches before he can stop himself.
“Hobi? Are you alright?” You take a step closer to him and he tenses. You notice, stopping in your tracks. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.”
“Hobi-" you make to take another step closer and he lets out a sound, neither a hiss nor a whimper, neither a warning growl nor an invitation to come closer. Threat and protector blur.
For a second Hoseok's unsure if it's safe for you to be alone in the room with him.
“Stay back for a second pup, I’m sorry I’m just-” He takes off his beret, running his hands over his spiky hair. You probably thought that Hoseok went to shower minutes ago, not that he'd just be sitting here. “This is a little overwhelming.”
"What is? Us? Should we-" Hoseok nips it before your emotions have the chance to spiral.
“No. Not you- never you. Just-" he exhales shakily, trying to tame his racing heart rate. No matter how many times he tells himself there's no reason to be so on edge, Hoseok just can't will himself to relax.
"Is it being home? Being out?” Being free. It goes unspoken but Hoseok hears it and feels it regardless. He never imagined freedom to feel so stifling. To feel so unsure about his next move that he can't even make himself get up off this bed without worrying that he's going to lose control.
“No, it’s my instincts. I feel…” he trails off, resting a hand over his heart and hissing through it. You take a step back; his closed eyes shoot open and he lets out a growl. A real one. You freeze.
The tension is so thick in the air Hoseok could cut it with a dull knife. Do not let the omega escape, sweet omega, pretty omega, omega under your thumb. Protect devour provide devour, please. His instincts are practically howling out in his ear. Loud, drowning out your words, the concern.
There is a furrow between your eyebrows, Hoseok wants to smooth it out and then bite your cheeks, round and flushed. Why are you blushing?
It takes him a second to answer. He registers you've asked him another question but he can't even hear it over the roar of his heartbeat.
“Sorry. Feel like I’m going crazy.”
“Oh you- oh Hobi. You’re alright. It’s over. We’re gonna be okay.” He hums skeptically when you say it. Blinking rapidly. He hopes its so dark you don't see the glassiness to his eyes. He doesn't respond right away. Can't.
It’s a reminder he’ll need again. He's going to need to hear you say it about a dozen times over the next week. You'll repeat it to him whenever his instincts get like this; whenever they go a little feral. A little haywire. He's not sure if he wants to burst into tears or stalk across the room and pin you to the wall.
It takes a second for Hoseok to work up the courage to be honest. A few seconds where you wait, swaying slightly in the doorway. You're wearing a matching pj set, the top has little iridescent buttons that catch the light like the eyes of a sea creature. The object of his every frustration and all his desires. The confession lurches from his chest, feels like a knife, and feels near violent.
“I’m worried I don’t know how to be gentle with you anymore. They made me so- I’m worried I’ve forgotten. I don’t- I can’t-”
“What do you want to do right now? Tell me what you need.” your tone leaves no room for his anxiety and Hoseok realizes that his breathing has gone jagged. Hoseok is barely contained, teeth bared, alpha going wild at your scent. This time when you step closer, his alpha lets out a growl purr. A pleased sound, a soothing one. Tempting you closer. His legs are splayed, and a few more steps and you'd be standing in between them.
Hoseok’s hands are fisted in the sheets. He doesn't know if he can hold himself back. “Pup- I don’t, I can’t- i'm going to attack you-”
“Alpha.” Your voice cuts through the bullshit. You step closer and this time he doesn’t flinch away. You set your hand on his knee. Gentle. Barely touching. “What do you need alpha? What are your instincts telling you to do right now?”
He surges forward, stopping himself at the last moment. Your back against the door, swathed in shadow, a column of light flat across his face. Nose to nose with you. He grips your cheeks instead of your throat. You don't flinch and you don't sigh. Your reaction is immediate. Pushing into his touch. Hoseok's whole body is trembling with the effort it takes to stay gentle.
Hoseok hisses through his teeth. “My instincts are telling me you don’t smell like me anymore. That I need to bend you over this bed and make you mine from the inside out. Then take you out there and do the same to Yoongi and Jin until everyone's mine again. I want to devour you until there's no question who you belong to- until the whole world knows you're mine.”
He breaks off with a contemplative hum, and you realize how much his muscles are trembling, the dark tilt of his eyes as he stares at you, the dilation to his pupils. It’s faint, but it’s there. The physical strength it takes to hold himself back- you can't imagine.
he rests his forehead against yours. and his hand tightens to a fist on the wall. He lets your face go to skim his hand down your throat, feeling your pulse. Beating out a 120 tempo against his fingers. Then to your waist. Only a fool would mistake his touch for anything but claiming.
If you ran, Hoseok would catch you. You kind of want to do that, to run and have him hunt you down. You wouldn’t get far probably not even to the doorway. You imagine him taking you right there right where Yoongi and Jin could see.
They'd probably just tease you both and keep cooking.
Hoseok's hands smooth up and down your sides, from your spine to your ass. You let him touch. You're his in every way that matters anyway. You don't react or at least you try not too. You jump a little, when he squeezes, hissing appreciatively. His fingers continue to touch, to devour, slipping lower, palming, between your legs from behind.
He brushes something sensitive and you jerk. He growls. "Stay still omega."
"Trying alpha it's just-"
He undoes the buttons one by one on your top, hands surprisingly steady until it falls away from your shoulders. Hoseok nuzzles. Dark hair tucked beneath your chin as he mouths at your scent gland, hot breath dusting your skin. You're not worried or shy, Hoseok has seen all of you. You stay still until you feel the press of his teeth, jerking.
He squeezes your hip, reassuring you. The tension dissipates just a little.
"I’m so tired,” he laughs, and it sounds sad even to your own ears. He pulls back away from your skin, lips glossy and he rubs his hands over his face and then his hair. Your body burns when his hands leave your skin. It looks like it takes him real effort.
He leaves you there, standing half undressed by the doorway, shucking off his own shirt as he goes, setting it on the bed. Back to you.
There are bruises on his spine, up and down his back from a heavy pack or the strap of a gun you're not sure. You stumble forward, still half winded to touche them. Hoseok's body stills when he feels you come close.
You trace over them softly. Hoseok's breathing is so measured you know each breath must take herculean effort.
There have been so many weeks of teasing that have led up to this. Picture after picture, you pouting asking for your favorite alpha home. Pictures that Hoseok dared only open in the privacy of the bathroom that left little to the imagination. A shot of Yoongi's head between your thighs, a shot of you nesting in next to nothing. Virtual bait and blood in the water to Hoseok's hungry alpha more than willing to take a bite. All to give him something else to think about during that home stretch.
You wrap your arms around him and press your bare front to his warm back.
“I'm so tired that I don’t think I can be gentle, and I want to be gentle with you. I can’t not be gentle with you. I don't think I could do it without loosing control.” His fingers are mostly gentle as they pinch your cheeks, making your lips pout out. It's a little goofy.
Your eyes already look shiny, and he almost jerks when he registers the scent of slick on the air.
“Then don’t be gentle.”
“Pup.” There's a warning in his voice and he looks visible startled when he turns around. He pulls back until you let go of him, turn around. but you're not dissuaded easily, arms loose until he grabs your wrists. no matter how hard you pull you can't get them out of his grasp. but that's sort of the point.
You let Hoseok hold you, let him keep you still, a teasing smile on the edge of your lips. He huffs after a second, palms sliding up to your elbows. "You're gonna make me get more grey hairs."
"but you love me anyway?"
Hoseok nods. "but i love you anyway."
“if you can't be- then don't. Don’t be gentle, I don't care.” You’d tilted your head to the side. “Please alpha.”
Hoseok is a weak weak man. Hoseok cannot hold himself back from you. Not today. Hoseok proceeds to do exactly that, hunting and running and all. you smile and bolt, and hoseok bends to his instincts just this once.
You don't make it farther than the doorway.
Sprawled and giggling. Somewhere along the next few minutes, the sound of Seokjin and Yoongi cooking quiets, they listen but they don't interrupt. You try to push, try to fight but it's futile. it's all a game. Giggling all the while and it's like candy and conquest.
Hoseok's mouth runs wild like this- instinctual and driven.
"Is it too big for you little pup? Poor little omega stuck on a big knot, making you feel all full. Don't worry, alpha will fuck you until you're used to it again, until you feel empty without it. Keeping me warm and snug, is it too much? Don't cry, alpha will make it better. Alpha will keep you safe."
By the end of it. You'd been dazed and boneless, little more than a puddle of whimpers and whines. He had carried you tender and knotted to him in the direction of his pack. Instincts driving him to show (Hoseok is little better than a pup bringing his packmates a stick. See? See how good I bred omega, see how good I knotted her. She smells good and I made her this way for you. If he had a tail it would be wagging behind him.)
Dinner and celebration traded for a different sort of meal. Hoseok sits with you in his lap at the kitchen island. Yoongi dries his hands slowly from the sink and curses low when Hoseok holds you under your thighs, back to his chest. Spreading you for him.
"Fuck- I forgot how it looks like when you knot her it's so-"
It will take a good hour for Hoseok's knot to go down. Until then, the pack will play with you as they see fit, completely at their mercy, just the way that Hoseok likes you.
You always get a little bit more suggestible when you're knotted. Hoseok likes to think that you don't let them do everything they want to you when you are knotted but…you sort of do. While you're more than comfortable telling them off and showing off any wandering hands normally (and there are alot of wandering hands) you're almost docile when you're knotted to Hoseok.
Being knotted to the pack alpha is a bit of an invitation. Hoseok has watched the others jerk off over your chest like this, has watched them go between your legs and lap and suck to their heart's content, seen them kiss and suck until your eyes have rolled back. He doesn't mind. It doesn't make his instincts feel threatened. It feels good.
But only if Hoseok lets them. Maybe that's why you let them do it because in these moments, your bodies are locked together- you belong solely to Hoseok.
Hoseok's nose traces over your spine, over the nape of your neck. His alpha likes it very very much. The other alpha's like it too.
Now Yoongi eyes the spot where you stretch around him, the place you go pink and dewy, licking his lip and adjusting himself in his pants. Hoseok knows there's not a thing in the world he wouldn't give up for this.
Hoseok reaches between your legs. You whine when you feel him touch you, eyes fluttering against his throat, but Hoseok tips his fingers into your dewy folds, parts your lips and shows them. "opened right up, cute little cunt. Your whole body is lax, head full of mango colored cotton. the haze of pleasure just a little too much, a little too much to sort out your desire to please from everything else.
distantly you can hear yoongi's deep chuckle. "Your knot is the same size as mine. It looks like this when you do it too."
Yoongi's dark eyes are unreadable. The room smells like smoke, the burners are turned off, but no one is plating any food. Hoseok didn't even bother to undress just pulled down his pants enough to get his knot free. But you're nude clutched against his chest. Clothes torn up in the other room. Bite marks up and down your body.
Jin coos and looks you over. Hoseok feels…satisfied when the beta purrs in approval. The sight of it going straight to his head judging from the way his peach scent ripens on the air.
"It's different, it's different when it's yours."
You jerk once Jin comes close, his long fingers skimming places Hoseok can't see, buried against the back of your neck, mouthing at your nape hungry still. "Sensitive" you shutter but your pleas remain mostly ignored. a whine escapes your pressed lips and a furious blush lights down your midline. Jin keeps touching you. Hoseok wraps his arms around your middle to stop your squirming. Keeping you still so that the beta can do what he wants with you.
"Alpha bit me there too." You mumble against Hobi's throat, shifting restlessly from whatever Jin is doing. Shifting more. "Jinnie- I'm sensitive,"
You nearly flinch, but Jin's thumb presses. "Oh here? Right here?" Hoseok's teeth dip into the nape of your neck and you go boneless. Hobi laps at the pink skin when he pulls back. you pant openly, incapable of letting out more than whines.
"Let Jinnie see what alpha did to you pup." Jin drops to his knees to look closer and hobi holds you wider.
When he looks up, he makes eye contact with Hobi before you. His smile goes a little teasing.
"This little spot right? It's a very cute little spot, I understand why Hobi bit it."
Hoseok's nose traces your ear. "Don't act like it didn't make you cum." you sniffle but nod. Hoseok's knot throbs at your simple obedience. the way that you agree. It makes Hoseok want to bite you more if it's even possible. He laps at your throat some more to ignore the temptation.
"Oh? Alpha was mean? Let Jinnie kiss it better."
~-~
You end up ordering takeout. Yoongi burnt the meat too bad to be edible.
Later there is this; you cuddled up on his chest, nearly nude, wearing someone's boxers as shorts as you often do post-breeding. You claim it helps you feel closer to your alphas and although stealing clothes is pretty typical of an omega. Jin still teases, "you're not even wearing ours; those are Jungkook's."
Yoongi had stood up, pawing for his phone. "I'm gonna send him a picture- he's gonna love-" Yoongi's fingers pause on your hem. a shocked laugh bursting from his throat. "Hobi you literally left teeth marks on her ass."
Hobi's arms go firmer around you and he's about to apologize when you beat him to the punch. "I like it. If anyone gets angry tell them not to because I liked it. Makes me feel-" You shimmy and hiss at the ache in your body. "Makes me feel like I'm yours again."
There is a lump in Hoseok's throat, and his instincts go just a little more quiet. He's so fixated on that that he hardly hears your next reply, the teasing tone of your voice.
"And besides Jungkook's boxers are so much softer than yours."
"Yah-"
"You little brat." You shake against Hoseok's chest with the force of his laughter. And jump when yoongi reaches out to pinch the bruises. yoongi hadn't cum more than once earlier, and hoseok knows that although the other alpha is the least deprived out of all of them- he's still needy, still a little wound up by seeing it earlier.
They make eye contact over your head and Hoseok feels a little satisfied when yoongi looks away first.
"Fine, be like that, I'm gonna wash all my sweatshirts then and you won't have any left for your nest."
Your expression had gone suddenly panicked, "but- but-"
Now your bellies are full from takeout because Yoongi had actually ruined dinner- granted he had good reason to be distracted. Hoseok feels properly worn down, properly settled, there's still a tiny bit of anxiety in him, and his alpha still looms awfully close. But he knows that won't really go away for a good long while. Not until the whole pack is back here and safe. The doors locked and the windows shuttered.
Yoongi gets up when you ask for water, and Jin gets up when you realize you've neglected to put on your eye cream. Both strange things. In any other world Namjoon and Jimin would have done both of those things for you.
He might just confine them all to your bedroom for their first week back. His alpha likes the idea of that. You purr softly against his chest, and Hoseok holds around you with that same gentleness that he'd been craving earlier, finally capable of it with you smelling like him and the others too. They had only done the bare minimum of cleaning themselves up with lazy swipes of a damp cloth.
With three packmates wrapped around you, Hoseok under you, cheek resting over his heartbeat to listen, Yoongi against your back, and Seokjin at your front Hoseok finally feels like it's enough. You're safe like this. Nothing could ever hurt you.
Not even himself.
A concerning number of bruises trace up your thighs that Hoseok will apologize and worry over tomorrow. Even though you've told him you don't mind them- that you even like them. Everything can wait until tomorrow, healing included. Hoseok finally gets the courage to ask.
"When I came into this room, it set me off. I can tell you were anxious this morning when you woke up. What was it? Was it me?" He has to crane his neck to catch your expression and how your face goes from stricken to polished in a second.
"It was nothing, we handled it." Seokjin tries to smooth over it. But Hoseok’s warning growl cuts him off.
You trace mindless patterns over his heart, and your purr peters off. "I had this weird dream; it was a nightmare and just weird." You pause, looking up at him. Your expression is so calm that Hoseok doesn't believe it for a second. "In the dream you hated me, or at least really didn't like me." Hoseok's hold on you goes just a little tighter like his alpha is offended by the very idea of it. "There was glass everywhere and Tae was wearing pink."
Yoongi speaks, and Hoseok knows he's taking it seriously just trying to make you feel better by being a little silly."That's not that weird, Tae wears pink all the time."
"Only when he steals Jin's clothes."
"Did you know he got ketchup on the last one? I swear these kids-"
You peak up at Hobi tentatively. And he can tell that you're still a little upset by the dream. "Don't worry- I think by the end of the dream we loved each other and anyways-" You kiss his jaw, pecking at it and a lazy growl builds in his chest, spent cock twitching below you. His appetite is insatiable even after three rounds. Once on the floor, and again on the kitchen table. And again here.
"It didn't make any sense; Yoongi was a beta in it and Jinnie was an omega like me." you trace circles over his heart. "It was a bit ridiculous."
Jin ducks low pressing a kiss to your forehead, “yeah, as much as I love you being an omega I don’t know how you handle all of us pawing at you like this. I’d get like so overstimulated. And you’ve told me how sleepy you get.”
“Yeah, it is a little annoying, needing more sleep than you guys do to like. Function.”
"And like I could ever be anything but an alpha." Yoongi looks a little fragile, a little threatened by the dream. Hoseok wonders what else was in it if the other alpha is so on edge. Because there must have been more. “I can’t imagine not having instincts at all.” Jin pinches him and Yoongi jumps.
You don't have to look to know Jin's rolling his eyes. “Yeah like not growling and not nosing after anything that smells even a little bit sweet is such a curse.”
“You didn’t seem to mind it when I was nosing at you yester-“ Yoongi is interrupted by a pillow to the face, feathers fluttering down as you giggle against Hobi's chest.
Hoseok ignores the bickering, still watching you. "What was I in your dream? Was I an alpha?"
"Yes, but you weren't mine." You scoot closer to him, wiggling like just the weight of your body isn't enough to get close enough. Hoseok has a feeling that in a few minutes, you're going to start tugging at the hem of his boxers and ask to cock warm him to sleep. Some nights your omega just doesn't like any distance between you and your pack alpha and now that you have him back you don't want to let him go even a little bit. You could use a plug- but your omega wouldn't like it now that you have the real thing.
(omega plugs are fairly standard, alot of packs make omega's wear them to sleep or when they go out. A physical reminder to the omega soft minded and a way to ensure they're docile. There are even fancy ones that log body temperature, dampness and location. Sending notifications to the alpha's phone and information like rem sleep and lengh of orgasam. The pack has never needed one of those with you.)
Now though hoseok wishes he had some sort of insight into what you're thinking as you rest your cheek on his chest and look up at him. frowning and thinking hard. hoseok's thumb rubs over the nobs of your spine, up and down.
“You kind of hated me and you were so sad. I couldn’t do anything about it. That's what made me anxious- the idea of you being sad and not being able to fix it.”
You turn to nuzzle into his shoulder. The movement is so routine, so normal it almost looks like breathing. Hoseok's heart hurts from it. Your scent smells a little disconcerted, a little worried. Like just the memory of the dream is enough to set you on edge. “Like I said it was a nightmare."
Hoseok just holds you tighter, dragging his cheek along the top of your head. His scenting is a little overkill given the circumstances. any alpha in a 3 mile radius would be able to tell it's him that's claimed you.
"Yeah," he says, voice rough and quiet. "Sounds like a nightmare to me too."
~-~ Stay tuned for the next part ~-~
Notes:
sometimes i feel like i frame certain scenes like i'm not like- writing a story so much as vissually looking at a tv and describing what i'm seeing. this is one of those fics that very much felt like that.
i feel like this story is more of a true story vs a plot. i've made no secret of the fact that what i really like about fanfiction is making a world that you can sink your teeth into- and i feel like this one- this universe with pack alpha hoseok is like- ugh so drippy. like i truly hope you leave reading it and feel frustrated that you're not there- even though not all of the things described in it are good. for that reason i think there's less plot in this. like i just want it to be something that envelops you- not necessarily something that progresses although there definitely is plot to it.
i toyed alot with the idea of having there be shifting wolves in the one. i put that little tidbit in with taehyung just incase i fell like touching on it here. but honestly i may not have enough time.
i think one of the scent fortified drinks that yoongi drank too much of in their trainee days was probably "omegabull" or "omegaster" idk i didn't put it in because it felt too goofy. my favorite redbull is cranberry flavor :) maybe i'd smell like cranberries if i was an omega?
okay so- the pack's scents in this- i know it's not mentioned all that much in the first chapter- but!!! their scents for hoseok and the m/c are what their scents would have been had they not been abused in bily- this universe is sort of a foil of the other one. but yeah- hoseok would have smelled like mangos :( i know not everyone will read bily who reads this so! i tried to make the allusions to it less on the nose than in the first draft.
tbh that little bit with the plates being new, this is a. a bily refrence because remember how yoongi breaks them when she leaves? yeah this version of yoongi also broke dishes when the pack left. BUT ALSO- i do think i wanna touch a bit more on yoongi and her's time alone togeather. i like the idea that in every universe, they have their moment where it's just the two of them.
the scene at the end is just hoseok: ready to pounce on the m/c scared of himself and the idea that he could hurt her meanwhile the m/c: thats hot.
the moment where he says "the object of his frustration and all his desires' is a nod to bridgerton because i was re-watching it and loving it.
if we're being honest i think that beta's might be intersex in this universe, do i really really wanna write jimin and her rubbing their pussies together? yeahhhhhhhh, am i actually gonna write it??? probably not.

gimme 1 and 17 dialtown ☎️
hiiiii griffin i hope you're having a good time at graduation. probably not since u sent this ask but hey man i get i too was on my phone during graduation. anyway
1. the character everyone gets wrong
oh boy where do i start with this. i mean like. tee bee aych i feel like most people have a fundamental misunderstanding of randy. like he's not pathetic for pathetics sake he kind of intentionally puts himself in the worst situations imaginable to feed his worldview of everything being bad for Him specifically and no one else. the fandom kind of babygirls him? like treats him softer and generally makes him more of a shy uwu guy rather than a person stuck deeply in his own fractured worldview that is intentionally letting himself get worse. like randy's whole route is about making him realize his happiness is His Choice, His Decision and not a work of fate/luck/unseen outside force that he has to relinquish control to, and everyone just goes "yeah but what if we make him sopping wet uwu yaoibait guy with oliver".
speaking of oliver i feel like EEEEEEEEEVERYBODY makes him way too wacky and not actually grounded. like, despite his many odd mannerisms and such, he is still one of the few characters who has a job and is able to Maintain That throughout his route (though, of course, in the good route it changes). oliver is a pretty stable guy, all things considered. sure he talks funny and has a general inclination for the ridiculous, but a lot of people kinda coke him up and let him run loose like he's a wild animal. and i think it's more fun if you ground him in a place of reality and then let him play. instead of being the guy to drag people into stuff, let him be a part of a scenario and see what his reactions are. much more fun. also i feel like a lot of people forget how, like, awkward he is? like he tends to apologize when he says really outlandish/forward shit and seems to view Himself as a "freak" in a way that would suggest he's aware of how he stands in comparison to most people. like dude knows he's weird, and that's not Always a good thing.
and yknow what while im talking about the main dateables i would be remiss to bring up karen because like. WOW. i mean this is a problem with most fandom spaces unfortunately but the way people straightman her is so fucking sad. like people forget she literally quit her job on a Whim because someone vaguely suggested leaving and she went full throttle. karen is impulsive and karen makes bad decisions based on rash judgments and she is generally not that hard to goad into doing something stupid. i mean, she agreed to a date with gingi. twice! that takes some real loose grips on impulse control to just go along with that. like sure she is a bit more deadpan than, say, oliver, but she does have a sense of humor. she likes to use sarcasm! she has wit she has sass. also she is like. INSANELY jealous and i feel like a lot of people dont hone in on that aspect of her being the reason why she is sometimes so rash. she is fiercely protective of those she considers "hers". she wanted to Kill A Giraffe because gingi liked it. she is jealous she is rash she is impulsive PLAY IN THE SPACE STOP MAKING HER THE DEADPAN STRAIGHTMAN ITS SO BORINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
okay that's enough of that but just know i could've done it for every character
17. there should be more of this type of fic/art
maybe i am insanely ridiculously biased but there should more content of mingus and norm. or just mingus. or norm. those two are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO fascinating and i feel like people kinda gloss over that. like they're similar beasts in their rampant paranoia and flawed perspective on callum/the world and they butt heads about it like crazy. generally their dynamic is one of the most interesting parts of chapter 3 to me and i feel like there really isn't enough chapter 3-focused content out there. we should talk about these guys more. and if i have to stand on a podium and take a stand there should be more content of MINGUS. girl is the driving antagonist of AN ENTIRE ARC. BASICALLY THE WHOLE GAME IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT. AND NOOOOOO I DON'T SEE HER ANYWHERE. IS IT BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T FIT IN YOUR FOUND FAMILY DYNAMIC? IS IT BECAUSE SHE'S A WOMAN? I DON'T KNOW I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DIRECT YOU PEOPLE TOWARDS HER BUT I WANT TO. if my brain was functioning at the capacity it was last july i would've written ten million fics about her i have so many days. alas, i don't know if they'll ever happen... (but if people were curious i would gladly share)
but in a slightly more biased take, i think there needs to be more normingus in the world. how we were the chosen few to proclaim the good word of normingus is beyond me. like don't get me wrong i'm happy tryt had its impact but JESUS CHRIST I SHOULD NOT BE THE MOST POPULAR. SOMEONE ELSE COME TRY AND PLAY IN THE SPACE WITH ME. I CAN GIVE YOU IDEAS. I CAN GIVE YOU SO MANY IDEAS.

I was playing with the idea of HuaLian having a child in my head, partially because I adore Wangxian as parents, and somehow, I really can't imagine it.
Like, this is NOT an attack on anyone who writes/draws/headcanons Hualian children, just some of my own thoughts.
Wangxian really are immediately set up by the narrative as caring parents, or at the very least responsible adults who act as guardians for kids. We have Wei Wuxian repeatedly teasing, but guiding the Gusu Lan juniors, and even his POV makes clear just how much he prioritises the protection of these kids. And while Lan Wangji appears cold and intolerant of excitability in the flashbacks, we see his as a calm, reassuring and trusted source, one of his first appearances being to respond to a signal flare. Throughout the story we see them excel in managing the Juniors, care for children in their vicinity and also reflect on their own ideas of family dynamics and how children are incorporated into that.
Hua Cheng and Xie Lian don't really emulate that sort of energy. We see Xie Lian alternately a guardian or teacher to Ban Yue & Lan Qianqiu, but that feels more like a reflection of his caring personality rather than a reflection of his wish to be a parent. Xie Lian certainly has affection for children, and prioritises their safety and wellbeing, but in the same way you prioritise children when evacuating, you know? That these humans are more helpless and require aid and care. We see him mourning children and the loss of innocence and crime against young ones who couldn't understand the horrors that killed them, but there never really seems to be some longing to actually raise or have a child.
In fact with Gu Zi being sort of kidnapped by Qi Rong, the kid kind of... Feels forgotten? It's not that Xie Lian doesn't care for the child, or that he isn't concerned for his well being, but it never feels like a priority for him to protect Gu Zi or take him away from Qi Rong. To his credit, when Gu Zi is with him, he does take good care of him and acts affectionate towards him, but even when he notes Gu Zi's mistreatment, there never fully seems to be followup through the narrative? Of course Xie Lian is busy with other stuff, it would be an unfair expectation for him to actually be launching rescue missions at the same time, but the lack of focus feels somewhat out of character and intentionally dismissive.
Same with Lang Ying honestly. Again, Xie Lian is affectionate and kind and a good guardian to the child, but their relationship never truly seems a focus and even the tragic ending of his story feels quickly skipped over. As a reader I never fully felt confident that their relationship was something super strong or important, and it certainly doesn't truly feel parental.
My point ISN'T that Xie Lian is neglectful or cruel towards children, he is NOT. He is very caring and affectionate towards children, but it never seems like he's actually interested in raising or nurturing them of his own volition. When a child is in his care, it feels like his point of view is 'well, there's nobody else that will help, so I will' which is accurate to his general character and philosophy.
There's a fair argument to be made that Xie Lian feels unstable in his own life, and knows that he could not provide a child with a healthy environment to grow, but honestly the same is true of Wei Wuxian, but his relationship with children feels much more sincere and longing.
Hua Cheng, honestly, feels overfocused on Xie Lian. LWJ is seen repeatedly taking his role as teacher and guardian seriously but Hua Cheng generally either is seen fawning over Xie Lian or handling the affairs of Ghosts/running his gambling den. Again, of course he's not outright cruel to children, but beyond the general 'Gege thinks that children should be protected and therefore the children in my realm will not be hurt' there's never any focus on his character with children. I also think that, given his distaste for his younger form, and the fact that he intentionally doesn't truly speak of his own childhood, he is viciously aware of how horrible it is to be a child in a household that does not want to, and is unwilling to replicate that environment. Of course if Xie Lian wanted a child he would do everything in his power to be a good father, but again, it never feels that he truly longs for a child.
(I really want to write a story where Xie Lian asks Hua Cheng if he thinks that a child would be welcome, and for the first time, Hua Cheng hesitates over granting Xie Lian's implied request, because he's self aware enough to know that he would not truly be able to love the child, and he knows that a child can tell when they're unloved, and wouldn't want to put Xie Lian through that. Cue detangling the trauma around generational abuse and not passing down the treatment you had to heal from and Hua Cheng treating E Ming kindly. Whether or not they wind up with a kid is undecided.)
Basically, I kind of firmly like HuaLian in the fun uncles category. They're comfortable and kind with children, will always adore the opportunity to babysit, but they're comfortable enough to be certain that having children is not what they want, and respect that children should have parents that want them. HuaLian facing the woman in her thirties treatment of 'But surely you'll change your mind in time? You two are so happy, you ought to have children, nothing fulfills you like children'.
Yeah, this is too long a tangent that I'm sure a lot of people will disagree with, but I like Hualian as a confident couple that reminds people that they do Not Need child to 'complete' or 'fulfill' their family, and fully content in their own company.

coughing and crawling on my hands and knees
I'm very curious how u think sg blitzop would start. granted u have made a comic about mainline blitzop origin + talking about sg Optimus seeing blitzwing more as a challenge than an actual partner so I'm soooo interested in how you think they started. smiles. ummm okay byebye crawls away
also I'm not sure if you plan for them to be in the same continuity as your sg shockdad au but I am picturing soo vividly in my head goldbug trying to beat the shit out of Optimus because of his relations with blitzwing, something only made worse after shockwaves passing. I don't know if that makes sense I just could see goldbug thinking it's extremely unfair Optimus gets a decepticon he literally plays with whereas the one who raised goldbug and took care of him had to die. goldbug loves being envious it's his favorite thing which is why he does it all the time
Was unsure if you were asking if how Optimus and Wings started dating or something else so here's how the dynamic started <3 Optimus likes calling Blitzwing many variations of soft as an insult and accidentally learns that Wings really likes that, also that having that type of control over someone's emotions is thrilling. Que flirting until Wings snaps and is like "IF I DON'T KISS YOU RIGHT NOW I WILL GO EVEN MORE INSANE."
And yeah they're in the same continuity as evil Bumbleson au it's just different time periods because if I have to world build 2 different versions of Shattered Glass Animated my head will explode. It's very much not secret about Optimus and Blitzwing's relationship with Optimus being the leader and the others being threatened into silence with their complains while Blitzwing is very open about it in an effort to get someone to stop them.
Bumblebee's feelings about it goes from very irritated to outright hostile after Longarm is revealed as a spy. He thinks of Decepticons as a corrupting force which means that Optimus barely get any respect from him. It's part the reason he breaks away with Ratchet after Shockwave's death.
#Crispy answers#my art#tfa#maccadam#transformers#Shattered glass#Blitzwing#Optimus Prime#Blitzprime#Blitzop#comic#I TRIED VERY HARD TO JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION AND NOT GO ON A WORLD BUILDING TANGENT ABOUT THE OVERARCHING PLOT OF SG TFA#Bumblebee basically thinks of Decepticons as having “stolen” Longarm away from him so thinks of Optimus as a traitor too

most importantly, having a woman of abby’s size and shape was so refreshing and so significant. she’s more than just her body type, but — shit, her body type is so fucking cool.
not to mention that abby’s body is the physical representation of her anger, her grief, her determination and straight-up bloodlust for vengeance. she’s supposed to be physically intimidating, supposed to be terrifying in ellie’s eyes (and in ours, too). it makes her more dynamic. it makes her more of an op. it makes the story so much more interesting to watch.
asking the audience to believe someone so small and twiggy could be such a threat to ellie (and, cough, joel) completely ruins the immersion. it falls so flat. it paints abby’s character in such a disappointing light, robbing her of her brute strength and replacing it with…what, exactly?
she is less of a character now, because she is small. that shit is so fucking ass.
Taking a female character who belongs to a non-majority group of bigger, muscular women in a video game and making her a very skinny person in the TV show adaptation of said video game is problematic and worthy of (respectful) criticism and I’m tired of pretending it’s not. Because the creators of the TV show said they specifically offered the actor who plays this character the part. She even said she didn’t even have to audition in an interview, she was offered the role with no audition for it. No hate to this actor, she’s amazing, she’s out here working, I don’t blame her at all. But they also did not have other actors (or if they did, very few) read for the part.
But I am so sick of people acting like the character’s original physique doesn’t matter. It DOES MATTER. Media has power, and purposefully erasing a part of a character’s physical identity that aligns her with a group of women who are either grossly misrepresented in traditional media or just cut out of it completely IS harmful. And the fact that they used her physicality to market the second game so heavily and then abandon it when the reception wasn’t good for the TV show is SO problematic. Bigger women are not there to simply be movement devices for your plot and aesthetic choices. People who are bigger matter, and having representation of bigger women fucking matters.

Okay, but like, realistically, how would the Creeps having a partner (who isn't a proxy or associated with Slender/The Operator) even work? I mean, they're serial killers, and the whole Slender Sickness stuff would probably make that even harder, right? I feel like a lot of people would be scared off once they found out their partner was actually a murderer. Would the Creeps even try to convince them to stay?
(I have no idea where I was going with this. I pray it makes sense.)
ok fine x reader work from me YOU GOT ME.
ok jk i might use 2nd person/"you" cos its easier. but this isnt purposefully x reader content cos thats not my niche + i struggle with writing romance LOL . and a lot of these r very unhealthy dynamics, cos im not writing for romance, just answering the prompt
im not covering laari, ben, sally, dina, ann, or lulu in this cos theyre either children or not fit for a relationship (well nobody in this damn au is but ykwim)
FOR THE PROXIES... im imagining you meet them cos they come into your job. maybe a diner or grocery store or something
tim would have to get a partner completely by accident. as in, he's a regular at a diner and keeps getting the same server - and the server would have to make the first moves. it's not that he doesn't notice if someone's attractive or kind or something, but he idea of romance sounds so...unfair to him? unfair to whoever he's inflicting his life on. fearful of infecting them, etc - so you'd have to be really persistent, or really phenomenal for him to push. LOL. he'd try everything in his power to prevent you getting involved with the forest - which unfortunately makes him a less than ideal partner. wont explain why he's gone for so long besides "work" (which, to be fair, he's a truck driver in my au so its true most of the time). wont explain why he only hangs out with brian. why he's stuck in a shoddy apartment rooming with the same guy from college. why he's stood you up on a few dates. he'll apologize and mean it, trying to make up for it in some gifts and late night drives.
if he somehow fucked up and let you in on his life, he'd try to lie and lie and lie. he doesn't want you to know. he'll blame others, or try to convince you you're seeing things, misunderstanding - and frankly, he'll leave you if he thinks there's no turning back. an apology and half-honest conversation telling you he cant do this anymore. for your safety, for his job, etc etc - he wont hold on. if you love something let it go he sayssss
brian is kinda similar, in the sense that he isn't purposefully seeking out a relationship, but if you were to keep bumping into him and flirting every time, he probably couldn't help himself much if he found you attractive. he'll give you his number and entertain you, but he doesn't have intentions to maintain a long-term, serious relationship - HOWEVER, if it got that far, he'd be a bit messier than tim. tim will gladly look like a shitty partner if it protects his s/o, but brian hates that idea. he feels like an asshole and just wants to make you happy and be with you, but fuuuuuck DUTY CaLLS I GUESS. the issue with this is that, while he might come see you more often, he's also coming disheveled. dirty jeans, mysterious gloves, weird red spots, a gun in his backseat - his response to that depends on your nosiness and persistence
and if your nosiness and persistence resulted in you finding out what happened (he'd keep lying until you completely trap him in his lies) then maybe. maybe he'd come clean. only if you two are VERY serious. and in a way, part of him just ... expects you to stay. he's been a good boyfriend, and if he can prove to you this is some supernatural entity destroying his life and he isn't maliciously hurting people, (plus he will downplay his kill count drastically, if he even admits to it), then why wouldnt you stick it out?
but if you were deadset on leaving? welp. he's not begging
toby is. interesting actually im not too sure. honestly i HC that he really does want the whole white-picket-fence family lifestyle, but its a VERY repressed desire. completely buried it. i also HC that he's kinda pathetic when it comes to romance, so he develops short, fleeting crushes and infatuations pretty easily. so dont flirt with him he will get too excited and itll be upsetting when he later drops it. and he's so insecure and drowning in self hatred + trust issues, it's really difficult to get anywhere with him romantically - cos one day he'll be texting nonstop, seem super interested, and the next he's ignoring you or completely dry cos he's convinced you're fucking with him. you gotta start as friends, probably, and just hope he's still interested in friendship if he had a dying crush on you. THEN you can prob progress into romance. LOL
anyhow, like brian, he messily hides his work - he'll lie about being a hunter and it helps out, but.. its just very suspicious that he wont let you come to his house. or that he keeps talking about his female roommate named kate and you cant help but raise a brow. or when he comes over with a black eye and gets really fidgety around cops. RED FLaGS. it's not like he's some hard badass player, but your mind will wander... but he tries to be a good boyfriend, even if his idea of it is warped or he's really forgetful or insecure or moody . he's not disloyal or purposefully mean
chances are you find out his job cos he has a breakdown in front of you. prob comes to you already disheveled, bloody, panicking, seeking comfort, begging you not to see him differently. he's the only proxy to completely expose himself - and unlike the others, he will beg you not to go. try to overexplain everything, dig his grave deeper, subtle threats, so on. if you accept him as is, he's elated - stuck to your hip even more than usual. if you tell him you cant, he's livid. he'll leave, but expect calls and him on your doorstep later, telling you to hear him out.
but he'll give up eventually. he can only handle so much humiliation and if he keeps getting rejected, he'll start to hate you - and he doesnt want to. he rather remember you well and hate himself
kate is difficult. getting into a relationship with her is virtually impossible because she just. . has like, no interest ? ok. not no interest. the idea of romance and love doesnt sound bad to her, but she genuinely cannot imagine herself in a relationship - she barely can comprehend she has friends. she cant really do anything for you besides awkwardly sit with you and pick at her nails. and she has a flip phone for calling the others, but she will not text - so unless youre willing to call 5 times before getting a tired "why are you calling me", youre very likely to give up on her.
even if she falls head over heels for someone and cant get them out of her head, she isnt going to call you first or reach out to spend time with you, completely convinced it would just be you doing "charity work" or something stupid she heard from toby's own self deprecation. SO GOOD LUCK. if you manage to make her your partner, she'll finally process that maybe she needs to start behaving differently LOL but be patient. its not that she doesnt love you or think about you, but she'll run through 30 reasons why calling is a bad idea before she settles on "i just wanna hear their voice"
regarding work, she doesnt know how to navigate it. asks toby for advice, but he just says "keep them from this stupid shit" and she doesnt ask for details. so she wont tell you where the cabin is, only briefly mentioning she lives with a lumberjack (panicked lie), etc. when you find out about everything (cos she's the only proxy where its a definite), she just kinda slumps. shrugs and waits for you to tell her what you want to do. if you're done, she'll feel sick to her stomach and MaYBE try to insist "but it makes it easier now that you know". ask you to not go for one night, at least, then she'll forget about you by tomorrow - so just one more night, nothings gonna happen, etc etc. up to you by that point, but it IS true, it is easier now that you know. you can meet everyone and come to the cabin now, which helps
FOR THE SUPER NaTURaL...
jack....GOOD FUCKING LUCK HE'S SWORN OFF LOVE FOREVER. im joking but like kate, he truly doesn't believe he can ever ever ever be in a relationship again - either from fear of betrayal or disgust with himself. plus, like...he can't even leave the forest. HOWEVER, if youre okay with tucking yourself away in a cabin forever, he'll be good. he makes solid money being a 'human remains disposer' on the dark web, even if 99% of it rots in a random crypto account LOL. he only does it for the meat, but ykw.
you would have to meet him through one of the other creeps or the dark web thing(but that implies ur not a normal civilian so ill skip that..). depending on who introduces you, it can change his approach - if its someone like toby or jeff, he wont think twice about you in a romantic sense. if its someone like nina or clocky, then he might silently listen to your voice and let his mind wander to a nice little life in the cabin with you - but like everyone else, youd have to be the one making advances. even if you confess, he'll gently let you down - regardless of his interest in you. "it just wouldnt work, you deserve good things, i couldnt do that to you" etc etc. but he wouldnt be able to coldly turn you away, every bit of rejection makes it clear he doesnt mean it - WHICH SUCKS. hurts to say n hurts to hear.
but by that point, if the relationship progresses, then youre good there. LOL. nothing else you can find out - to date jack, you need to know everything and be okay with it already. so yay :3
FOR THE INFECTED...
clocky. ok finally someone easier than the proxies or jack. but not easy... clocky isnt exactly against dating, but her standards are very high. one wrong sentence and shes not going to entertain you. her guard is up so , so , so very high and all she wants is to protect her peace, not entertain someone who wont make her life better - even though shes friends with a buncha weirdos who complicate it more, but whatever.
if its by time she's in her tattoo apprenticeship, she's not so opposed to just...getting lunch or coffee with someone. talking, going on a walk, buying them lunch, listening to their day. she sees beauty in the mundane, so she likes to observe mannerisms of someone if she's on a date(but she's prob not even sure its a date) and it would stress her out later on. LOL. she's so focused on her independence and building a life for herself, so it's stressful for her - but she wouldnt take it out on you. she's big on respect, and if you've been good enough to her to reach this point, then she's nver gonna disrespect you by ignoring you or speaking down on you or pretending you're unimportant.
its very easy for her to hide the whole proxy-slendy stuff, luckily. she's long been healed of O/S syndrome and since slendy didnt want her to be a proxy, she's just...living life. she comes to the proxy cabin, helps with hunting, the algoids, etc - so its very , very easy to hide that part of her life. but if it causes issues, and you're already dating, and you bring it up respectfully, she'll gently apologise and insist itll be different - and it will be, she doesnt make empty promises.
BUT if you somehow find out, then she. ok two paths. she'll break back into the scared girl she used to be and snap at you, getting aggressive, push you away, completely shut you out - somehow blame you for getting involved. or she'll just. let you go silently. no fighting, no begging, no lashing out. just let you go - but then she'd freak out to the proxies, esp toby. "you fucking assholes keep taking and taking and taking from me"
nina is easy to fall for and she's easy to fall in love. you could meet her in any situation, really , and either one of you could be the first to pursue eachother. and i. ok i cant say shes a good girlfriend. she's erratic, hypocrytical, jealous, clingy, etc - it sucks sometimes, but she can be really good provided the chance.
similar to clocky, very easy for her to hide everything - biggest issue would be her inability to keep a secret. she likes to brag and share parts of her life with everyone, so she's always talking about her "totatlly badass friends in the forest" and insisting she sees ghosts, demons, etc - which i mean. shes being honest. thats up to you if you believe her
if you find out everything, she completely expects you to be normal about it. cos why r u being weird she told you already, right?
which is why she'd freak if you took that as a reason to break up. like toby, she's gonna beg - and if she keeps begging, she'll start to hate you. it sucks and theres not much i can write abt her here cos its very straight forward - she wouldnt hide it very well, youd find out, and she expects you to stay and be normal.
jane ...doesnt interact much with the proxies. her biggest tie to the supernatural is sally, which is the only reason she has small agreements with them - so honestly. if you two were together long enough and serious enough, she'd sit you down and tell you everything. she isnt the type to lie
dating jane is difficult - this is assumign she never married mary, of course, and even in that timeline, i made mary a highschool friend of hers who took care of her after jeffs attack. if it werent for that bond, jane wouldve been so closed off - esp cos of how dedicated she is to her work.
but if you manage to get with her, she's lovely. takes good care of you, save for her workaholic habits
jeff um. ok. again, you cant date him unless youre already okay with his lifestyle, so there isnt rlly the whole "when they find out, will they leave?" but instead moreso.... "when it gets too much, will they leave?" which. ok. i think if jeff RLLY fell in love with you, like genuinely, he wouldnt kill you obviously. cos he loves you. but he's livid if you suddenly decide its too much. "the fuck you mean its too much? you put up with this bullshit for how long, and now youre giving up?" etc etc. doessnt understand why youd do that to him, especially cos he thinks hes doing really good
which. ok, good is subjective, and jeff isnt ever gonna be perfect to any extent, but again, regardless of his massive ego and other. issues. if he loves you, he's gonna try - he wants to be around you, wants to hear your laugh, etc. but it takes a lot of effort from him, even if it feels like bare minimum. which isnt good, but that explains why he gets so angry about it - and at the very least, even if he agrees to break up, he's not agreeing to letting go fully . still expects you to hang out, text, call, talk. not good
#asks#creeped#omfg#imtired i gotta go to work sorry i got hella short during the end cos im TIREDDDDDDDD n i dont wanna work.

This season of Andor - and the conversations about it - have had me reflecting on the show's approach to race and racialization. One level on which to examine a text's approach to race is representation: what stories does the show tell about characters of color, and what kinds of storylines does it offer to actors of color? Figuring out how to ask that first question about Andor is complicated, I think - for reasons I'll get into below. In terms of how much interesting, meaty work Andor offers its actors of color: I think this is probably the level on which Andor is most ordinary/least compelling, especially when it comes to the show's Black actors. Characters like Birnok, Jezzi, Gorn, Taramyn, Nurchi, and even Blevin disappear from the action sooner and with less ceremony than other supporting roles. And while Forest Whitaker knocks every Saw scene out of the park, the narrative places his position on revolution at the literal margins of the plot structure. In terms of direct representation I would say that, at best, Andor is par for the dubious Star Wars course, and, at worst, it reinforces some troubling dynamics of functionalization and abjection.
I mentioned, though, that I think it's complicated to determine how and when race shapes life possibilities for the characters in the show. That's because I think the area where Andor has much, much more interesting and useful things to say is in its interrogation of racialization as an ongoing process intrinsic to imperialism; and part of what makes this work complex is that it doesn't always align with the way audiences might understand the race of the actors. To explain what I mean by that, I'm going to unpack some things I've noticed about two principal areas in which Andor explores how imperialism constructs race as a system for producing and exploiting group-differentiated vulnerability (to follow Ruth Wilson Gilmore).
First, the engines of resource extraction and the way settler seizure requires the removal, extermination, or forced assimilation of indigenous populations. We see this first through Kenari, where the pits left behind by extensive mining are connected to the disappearance of the adult members of Kassa's community, and where Kassa himself will end up being abducted and eventually assimilated into the social structures of a foreign place. The Imperial plan to extract a likely-catastrophic amount of kalkite from Ghorman is in some ways very different, as Ghorman is presented as a planet with a history of wealth, status, and elite cultural production. But we see from the Imperial propaganda plot that the process for rendering the people of the planet expendable involves racializing mechanics. In order to make Ghorman kalkite seizable, the Empire sets about a campaign to Other the Ghormans. Through both rhetoric and material practice (the curfews, the blockades, the reorganization of their public space), the Ghorman campaign transforms the Ghor from Imperial subjects into insurgent terrorists, rendering them exterior to the freedom and protection the Empire promises (all agitators can/will become outside agitators, as Syril learns), and thus making them disposable and ungrievable (unlike the "martyrs"). In this way I think the show helpfully insists that the operations of race are social and political, not biological. The Empire differentiates the Ghormans as a group and renders them more vulnerable to violence so that it can exploit their resources, and the parallel between the opening pit on Kenari and the mining equipment being landed all over Ghorman invites us to think about how race works as a social force, rather than as a quality that belongs immutably to some people and not others.
Second, the carceral system that disciplines Imperial subjects by creating a criminal class that has been stripped of legal personhood. We see this very explicitly in the PORD and the Narkina 5 arc of season one, where the incarcerated men have been effectively disappeared beyond the reach of appeal or accountability ("nobody's listening"). Cassian's longer history of statelessness and fugitivity highlights the way arrest and imprisonment are operations that continue to produce heightened vulnerability even outside of the formal prison. Saw highlights this truth for Wilmon when he links his own forced labor on Onderon with the Imperial forces that continue to make those hunted by the state liable to be used as cannon fodder. And Wilmon has reasons to identify with that speech, because when the Ferrix crew fled probable arrest, they ended up undocumented and thus newly racialized on Mina-Rau. "Toolie" labor (and it's hard for me to believe the rhyme with "coolie" labor is accidental) is racialized not because a particular group of ethnic subjects do it but because it's a labor form more vulnerable to exploitation, detention, deportation, and legal/extra-legal violence. As I wrote in an earlier post, it's clear from Krole's treatment of Bix, for example, that he doesn't see her as someone who can be married in any meaningful way: she lacks the legal personhood that would make marriage a binding social contract. This points to the way race has operated through the forced separation of families/the weakening of family rights for some (under chattel slavery and through contemporary incarceration and deportation). And one thing I found striking (and a little squishy/muddy) about the Mina-Rau plot was the decision to cast very fair actors for Beela, her mother, and Talia, thus highlighting the darker features of Cassian, Bix, Brasso, and Wil in a way that hadn't been as apparent on Ferrix. One way to read this, I think, is as another visualization of the show's insistence that race is not a set of inherent, inborn qualities but a set of political categories mobilized through social and material geographies - a way of ordering space and distributing subjects within that space.
All in all, then, I think Andor does very interesting, occasionally incoherent work on racialization, and also that representation for actors of color is where it has the least thoughtful or original things to say. (And to be clear, I think it's totally fair to demand better in that area from a show that has such explicitly political ambitions.)

A lot of works inspire me, but often not necessarily in a way that would be useful for a reader, looking for similar potential reading material.
Sometimes it is a small, overall pretty inconsequential worldbuilding detail, which has my weird brain hyperfocus on and try to work out the logic behind. It shares absolutely nothing with the fic that inspired the thought, outside of maybe the same crossover fandoms. (It was Leverage/Highlander/Firefly crossover, in case anyone wonders. I started thinking about the logistics of immortals trying to sense each other across space, and what would "there can only be one" actually mean in a world with an constantly expanding universe, instead of a single world. If I ever manage to write a coherent plot out of it, i will certainly not use the 'inspired by' function. Another case that I run into constantly, is trying to justify the muggle/wizard division and economics of the wizarding world in Harry Potter-verse, which also would be pretty useless for someone interested in reading something that echoes the original books).
Sometimes it is the ship and the character dynamic that I took inspiration from. But that is such a vague, murky criterion as to be nearly useless. What I ended up writing, was nearly ten times the words of the original and - aside from the pretty rare ship, which i guess could be used to narrow down the author, if that weren't the only fic she didn't post to AO3 - I recognise that the result has pretty much nothing to do with what I got inspired by. Also, not something I would tag with 'inspired by'.
Sometimes the inspiration is what I call 'spite fic'. It is what I end up writing, when I read something and go 'he would not fucking do/say that!!!' or "no, the fuck, the magic/society/whatever in this fictional universe doesn't work like that!!!' Even if you ignore that linking both works could be interpreted basically akin to leaving a negative comment on the author's fic and stirring up shit, I also do not want to make the author responsible for my feelings. Yeah, so I was unhappy by that fic and it inspired a very strong reaction, but that doesn't make that authors interpretation of canon un-valid. They shouldn't have to deal with my unhappiness. Some can shrug the implied criticism off, but some wouldn't and the solution is not to make one of us to quit fandom, but to live and let live. So long as my fic doesn't have some very specific identifying details, why would I link them?
And sometimes the inspiration derives from some very specific phrase or trope usage, that is prevalent in the fics the author writes, some specific fanon that they developed and that I simply internalized because I have read so much of it. So, yeah, if you are familiar with the author, you would probably realize the source of my inspiration, but it would be useless for finding similar fic.
In most cases I would put the name of the fic/author in the author notes, but none of these in my eyes justify the 'works inspired by' function. The connection is too vague, too tenuous or too far removed to be useful. I would only use it, if you can actually see the similarities between the works, when there is more than simply the same fandoms or the same pairing that is echoed.
(Not that I have posted a lot. But there are plenty of WIPs in my WIP file that are inspired by all sorts of things).
Sorry but the 'credit to your inspirations & tags not being enough' person doesn't understand how fandom works. What is snitching and complaining to another writer even gonna do? Besides start drama ofc. I see posts of people requesting a concept be written and 3 people saying under it that they are going to do it every single day. If you think just one person is allowed to write every trope per ship, maybe fandom is simply not for you?
--
Oh, I'm willing to believe that they've found a case where someone really did copy.
The problem is that they seem to think this means it must be conscious. It's actually incredibly and annoyingly easy to copy by accident. I've witnessed it plenty of times. I can't think of a time I've done it offhand, but I often google catchy phrases I just "thought up" on the suspicion that I did not think them up: I remembered them.
There's also the possibility that the copying isn't what they think. I wrote a fic for Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty where there's this "What kind of demented psychopath would even think of this?!" moment, and then it turns out that the protagonist, who is a secret novelist, is actually the one who thought it up. The "villain" was just lifting it from one of his books.
I've for sure spotted this same little beat elsewhere in the fandom. There's at least one fic, but I'm pretty sure there were more or some meta posts or something, and I don't know if I read them before or after I used this...
But we absolutely did not copy it from each other.

What is special about SifLoop to you?
OH BOY WHAT A LOADED QUESTION!!! to be honest if i explained everything we would be here for 2 weeks and also that's a lot of spoons that i dont have so. i will offer a heavily, HEAVILY abridged bullet pointed version.
-oh, that one person who will understand you more than anyone else in the world. that person who is always on the same wavelength as you, who understands why you do all the things you do, who you never have to explain anything to, who you can simply look in the eyes and have telepathic conversations with... they are that person, to each other <3 on virtue of being the same person, but still! i have always been a sucker for this type of dynamic due to being socially ostracized as a ND child growing up. i yearned for the longest time to find that one person who i didnt have to explain or hide any of my strange quirks from (i have since found that one person for me, and boy it is sweet!) and i think it's awesome that sifloop can be that person for each other :)
-sifloop as an allegory for self love is not something i explore too often (which is a crime!!! i should explore it more!!!!), but ohhhhh, is it juiiiicy. these goobers deserve to love themselves, but if they can't bring themselves to do it for now, loving the other is a good first step. one of my all-time favorite sifloop fanfics, simple as existing (please please PLEASE read it, it's soooo good) has most of the things i love about this interpretation of sifloop! aghhh... loop taking care of siffrin's body because it was once theirs... ughhghhhhhhhhhhhh im normal im so normal im normal
-you can take sifloop in so many interesting angles! do they love each other in an actual romantic way? is it some form of fucked up self love? does it no longer count as selfcest because they've undergone such different life-altering experiences? is it such a deep emotional bond that it transcends mere romance or platonic love and cannot be described with words? well, no need to fear, because you get to pick! and the dynamic will be guaranteed to be juicy anyhow <3
-mashing the above two bullet points together creates one of my favorite interpretations of sifloop i've seen yet! something something an annoying trait present in yourself becomes endearing when present in someone else you love. something something by learning to love the traits they hate in themselves in the other, sifloop can begin to learn how to love themselves again. by loving the other, they can start to heal. im normal im normal im normal
-as a touch-starved little freak myself i love love love how sifloop are both touch-starved to hell and back because!! they can fix this with each other!!!! make those fuckers hang off each other like wet clothes!!! they will never let go of each other ever again!!! at every possible scenario they will be at least holding hands or something more!!! both of them want so so much touch and they can give this to each other in precisely the way they want!! it's so fucking good!!!
on the flip side, you can take sifloop's craving for touch in an angsty direction as well! again, love how you can take sifloop's dynamics in so many ways and have all of them be just as compelling and correct. i explore this angstier direction in another post of mine <3
-siffrin is really easy and fun to draw and loop being siffrin means i can turn them human and then boom i get to make cute ship art while drawing the little guy i love twice. what a steal! (i've also recently figured out loop's star form and it is quite fun to draw as well hehehe)
-i'm sure there's WAYYYY more i've missed talking about, this is just the stuff that's come to mind first. as you can tell by this short and abridged summary (/sar) of why i love sifloop, i have a normal amount of thoughts about them <3 here's to many more moons of being insane about sifloop!
#the yapperrr#rae's doodles#sifloop#i thought this was going to be a short bullet point list. what happened#long post#isat spoilers#2hats spoilers

Up until your version, I actually refused to read any omegaverse. (NOT for lack of trying ... my god. so many disappointing attempts.) And even then I didn't start UtB until I had run out of literally everything else you'd written and the apprehension was real. I was staring at that omegaverse tag with a 'don't go where I can't follow' look of distress.
Should have known you'd absolutely kill it though. So so so good. It also helped me figure out how to approach other people's omegaverse fics/writings. Alpha/Alpha pairings actually did give me what I was looking for but never found before.
A lot of my disappointment with the whole genre before came from how the heats were depicted. Not to generalize, but a lot of writers use the heat's as a way to just ... delete personalities in a way that is not engaging to read in the least... characters reacting to each other is 90% of what I'm looking for in fics, not 'Alpha 1' and 'Omega 2'.
ANYHOW, all of that is to say that Underline the Red is my /favourite/ of your rainbow stories so far. I love the world-building in general, but oh my god. The dynamic between Faber and Caleb is so phenomenal. Beta's so rarely get a spotlight and it's just like 'yeah what would it be like to be in this heavily binary world where nothing seems to be made for you'
...I would ramble more if this wasn't already so long.
Hi anon,
Tbh, I agree with you on a lot of your points.
There are aspects of heats which are my least favourite thing about omegaverse. Even less appealing to me than mpreg. I understand why they're other's favourite things, but the lack of coherent thought, the inherent dehumanisation* of going 'alpha!' 'alpha!' or 'omega! my omega!' (which to me often sounds as silly as 'man! man!' or 'woman! my woman!'), etc. are kinky for some people, for sure, but for me it's the opposite of appealing. I can only really handle a little of this in like, noncon / dubcon PWPs, but not in long stories.
*There are many different ways to express this kind of fantasy/irl kink. I actually don't mind some of them. But this one I don't like at all.
My favourite kind of heat is a heat that doesn't go smoothly (which is why I've written so many of them, lmao), and my favourite kind of omegaverse relationship and sexual development happens outside of heats (which is why I write so much of that!) But even when I do write heats, there's aspects I deliberately omit because I just don't prefer it, so it sounds like on that level our preferences mostly align. (Not to say that any other version is bad for the folks who write and love it! It's just bad for me, and I don't want to read it).
I also avoided omegaverse for a long time because the ones people tend to recommend have a lot of the most standard tropes, some of which I enjoy, and some of which I find empty and meaningless. 'I'm so aroused I no longer think of you as a person but as a generic vessel / knot' is not appealing to me, but I can see how it appeals to others (and I can see other, different interpretations of that to mine, appealing to others too). 'I'm so aroused that I have no choice but to surrender to something I'm going to loathe afterwards' is appealing to me, and I can see why that doesn't appeal to others.
Tbh I do fall into the trap of vastly preferring alphas and omegas over betas, but I like Faber, he's interesting to me, and tbh it turned out all I had to do to overcome my broad dislike was like, just make a character I enjoyed, lol. Give him enough angst and I'm there!
I also generally enjoy crunchier pairings. I like the mindfuckery of alpha/alpha pairings, and I do think there is really great tropey omegaverse out there. But as soon as a fic is tagged with something like 'knotdrunk' I know I'm not likely to enjoy it. There's only so far I can go on the deep dehumanisation that seems innate to the 'standard vanilla heat.'
From an objective, analytical standpoint, there's a lot of things you could find appealing as a kink depending on how you hooked into it (i.e. 'someone is so consumed with me they lose all rational thought and can't see anyone but me' or 'I am just an object of this person's desire and they are going to use me and even if that's scary I'll still enjoy it' or 'I have realised who my true owner is' etc.), and to a degree, I can get behind some of it, but once we get to the 'I am no longer saying your name but a generic word that applies to everyone in this secondary gender, and you no longer matter as an individual, it's just your knot that counts' and vice versa, I have to dip. It's also why I tend to gloss past writing (consensual, smooth) heats in any great detail myself (people who want that from me are going to be disappointed). As a character-focused writer, in omegaverse, this is generally where you find the least characterisation, 404 error - Character Not Found.*
*It's not always this way, but it's often this way (as in, I have encountered it in hundreds of fics and published works now, and given I only read m/m or t4t or some permutation of both I dread to think how prevalent some of this stuff is in cishet), especially in generally 'No Archive Warnings Apply' omegaverse fics.
Everyone's preferences in omegaverse are different, what I like about it, honestly, is that there is plenty of room for me to write my own versions of the tropes that I enjoy, and that I'm not alone in that. I can omit mpreg, I can omit the 'call me alpha' trope, I can omit soulmates, I can keep 'claims can hurt omegas', I can include alpha/alpha and beta(omega)/alpha pairings, I can fuck with secondary gender, I can keep the dystopia part, I can keep the fluid play and the knots, I can have knots happen outside of heats, I can have 'alpha voice' and make it multi-layered, I can invent hormones and glands and give them names, etc. And someone else who hates everything I love, can do the opposite, and that will still be omegaverse if it happens to have alphas and omegas!!
This is why I think people who dismiss omegaverse outright probably just aren't aware of how vast the umbrella is yet. That's understandable, there are people who dismiss anime because all they've ever seen is shounen, and they just literally don't know there's so many genres within that broad umbrella/technique that will actually appeal to them. You can't know what you don't know, and all! I used to be the same, because my first encounters with omegaverse were like 'oh no, this is like, vanilla dehumanisation. I hate it.' Thankfully I found my way to the subversive humanising side, and I love it here. (ETA: Vanilla dehumanisation is actually pretty damned subversive at times too, I just don't find it hot, lmao).
#asks and answers#pia on writing#thoughts on omegaverse#underline the rainbow#a great person once said they think of 'alpha! alpha!' more as 'sir! sir!'#and i can see why that works for them#but the reality is that#'alpha' is a name of a secondary gender#you really are just saying 'man man!'

I made another Mairon redesign!
Ta-da! Ik I made one a few months ago but galaxy brained and I like this one a lot better tbh.
Notes on the design:
- one of the main things I considered with this was making Mairon not embody his own values and standards.
- the hair was part of this. I wanted to give him voluminous, hard-to-control hair to show that, try as he might, he can’t control anything fully. He can’t decide what emotions he feels, and he is often driven by emotion more than he wants. (Also bc that hair texture is a. gorgeous and b. super fun to draw)
- i tried to give him a softish look, as well, to subvert expectations and also bc that sharp appearance = danger thing is a lil overused. I also want to create some contrast between his original Mairon form and the forms he’ll take as Sauron, to illustrate that he’s a dynamic character, too. I want Mairon specifically to have less villain vibes and more… idk, main love interest vibes, since those two are about as far away as you can get. (In the kind of story I’m talking about, anyway)
- Also, I gave him a cleft lip & palate bc I hc that more “traditional” (aka conservative) elves view things like body differences as curses, or signs that Illuvatar dislikes you. This isn’t true, but that’s how they percieve it. Opinions like this were unfortunately very very common in Valinor early on, so Mairon has that heavily internalized. Dealing with this stigma gave him a lot of that perfectionism, and it also served to keep him from having any sort of support network, making it much easier for Melkor to turn him to his side. (Also bc I wanted to try drawing it and idk it just fits)
- (also most elves are better with that by the 3rd age)
- (if this is offensive pls tell me! I don’t have a cleft/facial difference myself, so I’m not an expert on the situation. I tried to emphasize that the thing that messed him up was society’s negative reaction to it, but if I offended anyone pls don’t hesitate to tell me!)
- I also tried to really emphasize the forge spirit side of things- I just think that’s really cool ^^
- I did that with the eyes (also Eye of Sauron related ofc) and the hair
- The makeup serves 2 purposes: To show how Mairon puts up a front most of the time, and bc it looks cool and I like drawing makeup
- Final note: this was meant to be a reference for me but I got distracted, so there are no clothes/piercings/accessories involved. Mairon would wear so much jewelry but more on that later hopefully
(Timelapse & refs under the cut)
Timelapse:
(I got distracted a few times)
Refs: (mostly from Pinterest or google)






#also if anyone wants the flat colors/no makeup version im happy to post it#so yeah#im a lil obsessed#infodump#also pls comment/reblog/hijack this post it gives me life#mairon#sauron#silmarillion#tolkien#tolkien fandom#my fandom tag#art#my art#artwork#digital artist#artists on tumblr#digital art#timelapse#cleft lip#cleft palate
