——-

The smell kept him coming back.

In his life, Harry had been to a quite a few bakeries. He could be considered an expert on fudge brownies, a specialist on cupcakes and the swirls of icing, a connoisseur of croissants. He treated himself a bit too often, if his mother had anything to say with it. His sweet tooth had always been prevalent in his life.

The new bakery down the road from his job, though? That had made him a true problem.

Every day before work, he stopped. Suit and all, pulling into the parking lot and nearly drooling the moment he got out. His feet carried him towards the door and the smell hit him immediately. Sweet buttercream, frothy vanilla, spiced cinnamon, and… something else. That something else that had him nearly vibrating, and now on a mission to have the whole menu to figure out just what the hell that scent was.

It was intoxicating. Mesmerizing. If Harry didn’t have work, he would spend hours just sitting here to smell it. It had a weird hold on him, and he didn’t quite know how to ask if it was an air freshener. That was unlikely for anywhere but restrooms anyways considering how offensive it could be for the noses of alpha’s and omegas alike. A bad scented one could send them into moods. Or even sickness. The sense of smell was very important.

“Mr.Styles.” The teen manning the cash register saluted him. He came in every day and was known to the cashiers, so he had ruled out it being one of them. Thank god. They were either young enough to not have a scent or too old for it to be possible. “What will it be today? Y/N’s been whipping up a storm for the holidays. New recipes. We’ve got a peppermint bark brownie that would go well with the peppermint mocha you like.” She chirped, watching as he scanned the cases.

Harry was a little intimidating but he was exceptionally charming. He smiled, he conversed, he tipped well, but he always seemed to be looking around. Trying to find something that no one could really place. The bakery was empty besides a mum and her friend with their kids, munching on treats and coffee as they watched the traffic go by. It wasn’t them. Harry’s ears did perk up when he heard an unfamiliar name.

“Y/N?” He asked, tilting his head as his attention went back to the cashier. “Who’s that? The owner?” Harry had never met the owner. For some reason, every time he came in the morning she had stepped out for her own break. It didn’t bother him so long as his compliments to the baker got passed along, but hearing her name stirred something in his chest.

“Yep.” She popped the p in her word. “She’s awesome. She started this all on her own after she went viral on the internet. She got the funds from online orders. You see the custom cakes and stuff but she does awesome experimental flavors. She doesn’t care if they’re hits or misses and let’s us go home with leftovers.” There was obvious pride to be working for someone like Y/N. It peaked his interest.

“Oh?” He asked, leaning his body against the counter. “That’s incredible. I’d be very happy to taste some of the new things.” He flashed a smile, tapping his card against the wood of the counter. “What would you think Y/N would suggest?” And why did saying her name make him feel silky and hot? Like it was meant to live on his lips? They tingled as the word left his mouth, making him shift his stance slightly. His skin was buzzing slightly as he heard someone else come from the back.

“She would suggest the peppermint bark brownies, the s’mores donut, the lemon cream cookie and the chili chocolate cupcake. Spice and sweet work surprisingly well together.” The airy voice went to his bones.

Harry could smell it fully now. The scent that laced the bakery was now engulfing him. Filling the space, making him inhale it with each breath. His hand tightened on the card, curling into a fist at his side as he caught a glimpse of her. She had been the source. It wasn’t a baked good or a cashier, but it was the baker herself that was making him addicted to the sweets laced with her scent.

He was silent as he observed her, a smile quirked on her lips. Slightly glossy and deliciously plump as she greeted the cashier with a simple hey and asking her to go to the back to grab the other new tray of cinnamon buns. Sliding them on to the rack, she used her hip to gently nudge the counter open and grabbed one for Harry.

“Here. On the house.” She slid the bag over to him with her soft simper, hands tapping on the wood.

She was marvelous.

Harry was speechless. Something he never usually was- the alpha could talk to a brick wall if he needed to- but this sweet little omega has been slowly hypnotizing him with her scent over the course of a month and now he was finally seeing her. He loved delayed gratification, a fan of edging, but this? He wished he had seen her far earlier.

“Hi.” He peeped. His face looked like he saw a ghost. The woman in front of him was like a mirage- and he wasn’t trying to be dramatic. He swore she was familiar to him in some way. Some how. She was all omega in the ways that called to him. The curve of her face and her soft voice… he could have started purring if he didn’t have some semblance of self control in his body.

“Hi.” She returned the greeting with a soft chuckle that heated his chest. “I hope you like the suggestions. I recognized your voice. You’ve been in here every morning we’re open and I figured it was about time to meet the loyal customer.” She chirped, brushing the stray hair that had fallen from her ponytail behind her ears. The adorably disheveled look added to her appeal.

A candy apple red apron was dusted with various baking material, tied around her waist snug. It showed the curve of her waist went deeper than what he could tell under her sweatshirt that appeared to have the bakery name printed on it. A swipe of flour was decorating her forehead, like she had wiped hair from her face and simply forgot about flour coated hands. Little details he was memorizing to think about later.

“I love the smell.” He blurted out. Immediately, he winced. That hadn’t been what he had meant to say, at least how he had meant to say it. Heat crept up further under his cheeks as he opened and closed his mouth, watching her giggle a bit as he tried to find his bearings.

“Fucking hell- I meant to say, I love your bakery. It smelled amazing when I went past it so I decided to stop in a few weeks ago and now it’s become a part of my daily routine. I bring in pastries for the office.”

“Aren’t you a star coworker.” She cooed, turning from him with a wink as she grabbed one of the red boxes and began to construct it. “They must love you at the office. I have on good authority that the one that brings the snacks, gets the pats on the back. Especially hand made, beautifully crafted baked goods.” She teased, opening up the case and beginning to place some sweets into it.

“I’d hope they like me. I’m their boss.” He laughed quietly, scratching the back of his neck. Never has he felt more like a schoolboy talking to a playground crush. He was head to toe in a suit good enough to meet his best clients, and a girl with flour on her face was sending him to his knees. Each time she moved, a gentle waft of her scent was given his direction and made that ever loved self control hang by a thread.

“Ooooo. Bossman.” She grinned, wiggling her brow as she placed another iced brownie with crushed peppermint bark sprinkled on top into the box. “Should have guessed. Love the suit, by the way. You look very handsome.”

That little compliment made his day. The pretty omega with the prettier smile and mouthwatering scent thought he looked handsome. That would be lingering in his brain all day. How she thought he was handsome. The casual compliments.

“Thank you.” He preened. “We do interior and exterior design for businesses. Up and coming places and remodels. So if you ever need a guy- I’m here.” He placed his hands in his pockets and lifted up on his toes rocking back and forth.

“Oooo. Is it that bad in here? Do I need a renovation?” She sucked her teeth, tilting her head. It had him freezing, mouth falling open to grovel. He hadn’t meant to offend her at all, hadn’t tried to insinuate it needed a remodel.

“Shit- no, I’m sorry. It’s very cute in here, I didn’t mean to insinuate it needed any help. I’m sorry, I didn’t realize how it would sound-“

“Cool it, bossman.” She cooed, laughing at how he had nearly fallen over himself. “I’m just messing with you. The place does need some exterior work, actually. I hadn’t had the budget when we first started, nor the time. But I didn’t take any offense to it. You’ve got to market yourself. Don’t worry.” Her reassurance made him melt into relief, leaning into the counter. This whole encounter had him feeling a bit on edge in the weirdest way. He wanted to snuggle this woman, yet he was almost afraid of her. An omega. He was afraid of an omega.

Anyone else would laugh at him, perhaps, but he felt the nervousness creeping in his bones. He wanted her to like him. He wanted her to think he was cool and want to know him better. Y/N, Y/N, Y/N. She had unarmed his normal charm and made him feel like a nervous bundle of sweat and it was exhilarating.

“I’ll take a card, though.” She placed her hand out flat. “If you’ve got one. I’m gonna check out your website.”

Harry fished one out of his wallet, thankful he kept them on hand. It had his office number, and part of him wanted to offer his personal cell but he knew that would be a bit weird. Especially if she wanted to use his services. He almost hoped she didn’t- asking a client on a date wasn’t good for the image, was it? He wasn’t sure.

“If you’ve got any questions you can reach out on the email there, it’s a direct line to me- or uh, I come in every day so.” He shrugged. “Around this time. You’ve got very good coffee too. It’s been a while since I’ve had a good hazelnut. People put a lot of syrups and things… but your shop does it the best.”

“Thank you.” She seemed chuffed with his praise. “I taste test everything with the crew here. You’ll be in for a treat. If you’re coming in every morning, do you think you’d want to be a bit of a guinea pig for me?” She slid the box across the counter. “I’ve been experimenting like my lovely employee was saying. But I’d love a real customers opinion. Even if it’s bad. I want to know what the consumer likes.”

Harry was shocked. Y/N was kind of treating him like a friend, like she valued his exact opinion. He couldn’t deny he felt exceptionally special. Having not only the owner of the bakery but an omega he had some sort of crush on suddenly want to sample the new things she sells and get his opinion on it.

“Oh- uh. Alright. Of course! I can do that.” He grinned shyly, handing his card over for her to pay for the things she had put into the box. “I come in every morning during the week so… you can just let me know what’s new to taste.” There was a giddiness in his stomach. An excuse to talk to her every day. Or at least a few times a week. He’s never really reacted this way to an omega before, the scent craving, the shyness he suddenly felt, all of it was so new to him and he was unsure how to navigate it but he didn’t want to stop. He only wanted more.

“Perfect. What is your name, by the way?” The card was handed back to him and there was slight disappointment their fingers didn’t brush, but Harry took today was a victory.

“Harry. Harry Styles. It’s lovely to meet you.”

“Y/N. I’m glad to meet you too. I hope to see more of you soon.”

I found Peison Blues truly inspiring. Absolutely love it and that Bellatrix and Rodolphus are both alphas. I sincerely want to pick your brain on how this tinges their relationship? And how things might have gone differently if Bellatrix had been with them in the high security prison (with or without the added element of Harry being there)? I have been awakened to an OT3 I hadn't considered, especially under the unique conditions established by your dynamic transformation of this trope.

I love alpha/alpha dynamic! It's my absolute favourite from the Omegaverse universe/trope.

I don't think things would have been different in the prison if Bella would have been there, not on a large scale at least. But there would have been many more fights, and she probably would have at least tried killing Amir once a week.

Alas, Bella is busy with bigger things, truly badass stuff, free and causing headaches for those trying to capture her.

She basically used the 'trick' Voldemort planned for himself, so she's out and about, wondering why her lord is taking so fucking long to figure out something 😂

Since I don't know if/when I will write the last chapter, I will tell you that Bella will be the one delivering Harry's and Voldemort's baby lol.

Poor kid - or is it a lucky kid? Imagine having Bella being the first person to hold you.

I'm thinking of an Omega!Draco and Alpha!Harry fanfic, in which the omega part of Draco begins to get out of control when he arrives at Hogwarts in the eighth year and only Harry's alpha voice is able to stop it.

And when Draco goes into heat, he has to ask Harry for help, because his body won't accept anything else. Or anyone. ✨

The bluest war and peace

For centuries the Black Haven pack had a tradition where the first born omegas and alphas were to be introduced to each other. The pups were barely ten, dressed in their finest clothings and made to look presentable.

That's when he first saw his ruins and he knew that he was never going to be the same.

Only the Brave

He can do this.

That’s the phrase Louis’ repeating nonstop, like a mantra that will help keep him upright and fighting. He can do this. He has to believe he can do this, or he’ll drop to the floor, exhausted, dead, or whatever, and he refuses to make his efforts go to waste like that. He’s a warrior, he has what it takes to help defeat the enemy. He just needs to make it to the City, and he’ll be fine.

Or, AU Mulan soulmates; where Louis is an omega going to camp in disguise to prevent his father to die in war, alpha Liam is a big wall of muscles and peace, alpha Zayn is obnoxious but cool knothead, alpha Niall is a cute hillarious baby and Harry is the alpha officer that has to train this weird group, and can't help the feeling that he's got an omega lurking among them.

Thanks to @nyxdaughterofkhaos for betaing this work and to @1daboficfest for letting me post this so late!!

MIDNIGHT

a New Year's Eve A/B/O fic by @kingsofeverything

“Alphas are for fucking and pheromones,” Louis said during their first conversation, when he was moving into the building and Harry offered to help haul boxes up the stairs. “I’m perfectly capable of carrying my own groceries.”

Louis relented when his Omega friend Zayn intervened and asked if he was also capable of moving his couch by himself. All Harry’d wanted to do was be a good neighbor. Now, here he is, half a year later, balls deep and four months into a no strings attached, sex only situation with the Omega of his dreams. He’s still not sure how it happened.

They were just two alphas in love, sharing intimacy in a bedroom, there were no chances of it going wrong.

Right?

Louis smiled, releasing a rose at Harry's comment. Neither of them were experts in bed, but they sure knew what they liked to do in it. He bent down to kiss the alpha's lips, quietly and wetly trying not to pull at the knot. It had taken so long for both of them to learn to knot that they made good use of the few moments their anatomy gave them to deposit love in their hearts. But the nebula of the orgasms were too hard, their aromas were all over the room that their minds were blind ande their noses didn't work enough to realize that there was someone closing the door, entering with a cellphone in hand and laughing so hard. They actually didn't know.

hey! my new os has been revealed! this is my first alpha/alpha fic, and it was difficult, but amazing to write. i liked it, and maybe i can bring some more! hope you like it, leave some comments and kudos are always appreciated!

Stay Right Here - Just a Touch

It’s been ages since we updated this one I’m so sorry! But I had a part already on Patreon I don’t think I put up here and since I’ve been dealing with something I figured I’d hand it over along with the one shot hopefully in a few hours lol.

Here is the Masterlist for a refresh!

Warnings- a/o/b dynamics, alpha Harry, royalty etc

——

Harry had taken that permission and ran with it.

Y/N had been slowly adjusting to calling him Harry in the safety of his chambers, and Harry had taken to clasping their hands together in the privacy of the rides to and from events. Y/N had nearly choked the first time, but she had warmed up to it nicely now.

“Harry..” she warned as they pulled from the curb, keeping her hand hidden in her skirts. “You must wait until we are properly on the road. If people see-“

“I know, I know. You worry too much, darling.” He grabbed her cool, smaller hand, greedy for the touches as they got into the busier part. “I like the color today.” His eyes examined the mint green varnish on her nails. She had told him that the maids do them sometimes after hours in the courtyards, sharing bottles since it was easier that way. He had liked the lavender last week, but the mint green was winning his favor.

“Thank you.” She smiled lightly, looking at their joined hands. It was odd to see. His decked in jewels and scars and hers lithe and small compared to his own. The compliments the prince so freely gave tended catch her off guard a lot of the time. Never had a man been so open and blunt with her about the things he liked. To be fair, she didn’t have a lot of male friends or… whatever this sort of relationship was with the man… but he was by far the most open with her that she had ever experienced.

“It’s only the truth.” His hand brought hers up to his lips to kiss the back of her knuckles, smirking to himself at the tiny shiver she gave him. Y/N had a hard shell to crack, she was terrified in some ways about people seeing their affections and her getting into trouble, but he had helped ease her nerves the more he did it. The privacy was something he cherished, looking forward to retiring to his chambers at night because it meant Y/N would sit with him as they discussed or read books. He hated when he got tired quickly and she would leave once he was settled in bed, wishing he could convince her to crawl under the warm blankets with him and curl into his side as he always wanted. He had many dreams for their connection and, admittedly, never imagined it would be this hard. He usually had people falling at his feet, flaunting their necks and propositioning him to fall into bed. Y/N was the exact opposite. Surprisingly, it was one of the things he liked the most about her.

It wasn’t easy to gain her trust, but it would make the reward so much sweeter. Just like how his heart beat hard in his chest each time she would squeeze their hands together, or he felt her shiver when he brushed his thumb over the back of her own.

Baby steps.

Their connection was undeniable, even for her. She shivered and blushed and found herself gravitating closer towards him every single day, something that baffled her. Her body had a mind of its own, leaning into his touches and having a very hard time letting go when he initiated the touching. Like right now. He had just spent time shopping and Y/N had stayed dutifully by his side, quiet but alert. Taking in their surroundings and making sure she wasn’t too close to his side despite the lack of perception the Prince had for personal space when it came to her. It was up to her to keep it in line.

He had only talked to her, asking her opinion on jewels and colors and fabrics, ignoring a lot of the people there meant to be the experts. She gave her honest one now, knowing now that Harry would much rather get the truth from her than a lie. A sickly green had been something she had vetoed along with a tacky embossed goose pattern that she didn’t think suited him- a rarity considering Prince Harry was the type to make quite literally anything work in his favor. His beauty was something even Y/N found to be intimidating.

“Thank you for coming with me today.” His voice snapped her out of her trance, eyes lifting from their joined hands back up to his eyes. Harry preferred eye contact with her when they were alone. “Shopping can be rather boring when people are just telling you to get everything, that everything looks good just because you’re royalty, you have the money, all of that. A truthful person is hard to come by.”

Even with all the money in the world, the most valuable thing to have is an honest person. Y/N had been nothing but truthful to him and he valued her opinion more than most already. The sweet little thing had her way under his skin without even trying. He’d been going slow and learning with her, doing his best to not spook her. He could scent her arousal at times though he pretended he didn’t. She was someone he wanted to keep around. As much as he wanted to be inside of her, he wanted her to have a clear head and no regrets when he did it.

“Of course.” She replied quietly, squeezing his hand back. “I don’t think it serves a purpose for me to lie. You won’t punish me for inserting my opinion so I don’t mind giving it.” Other staff had been in the past, but Harry didn’t seem like the other royals. That’s not to say she disliked or even resented the king and queen- they didn’t know her. They knew her mother and had been generous enough to keep her healthcare open while she wasn’t working, even if it didn’t cover everything it needed. But the prince? He was kind to her. Caring. On a personal level, he felt connected to her.

“Never. I told you, I chose you to keep around. I’d like for us to be close. No use in trying that if you aren’t comfortable telling me a fabric color is atrocious.” He joked, a tingle lighting up his chest when he saw her lips curl into a small smile.

“It was quite bad, wasn’t it?” She wrinkled her nose, shaking her head at the image of the color back in her head. “Don’t know who could pull off that sort of color. You have the ability to make anything look lovely but… even you, I don’t think couldn’t make it happen.”

The compliments from Y/N weren’t very plentiful and he understood why. She still had a bit of a mental blockage with boundaries that didn’t exist, but Harry didn’t mind. This compliment from her had him worked up, ego stroked and chest puffed. She thought he could make anything look lovely?

“Truly?” He asked. “You think I make things look lovely?” The preening was visible, making Y/N wonder why she hadn’t complimented him much before. The actual happiness on his face was like watching sunbeams melt snow. Of course he got thousands of compliments during his week, but none of them seemed to make his heart sing as much as hers did. Maybe it was the genuine nature, how she almost looked like she hadn’t meant to say it out loud- or maybe it was just her. The rarity of it all.

“Of course.” She replied, cheeks burning. It shouldn’t feel so humiliating to tell the truth, but his gaze was always going to slightly intimidate her. “You’re incredibly handsome. I’m sure you know this, Harry.”

Hearing her say his name and another compliment made him feel like he could burst. “I’m told all the time, sure. But you’re saying it because you mean it and think it. Not just because you think it's the proper thing to do or because you want something.” He replied. “It’s… nice to hear you think highly of me, is all. Sometimes I think all I do is annoy you.”

Y/N realized now that perhaps she had been a bit unknowingly cruel. She hadn’t meant to make him think she didn’t think highly of him at all, surely never meaning to make him think he was annoying. She was blown away by how beautiful he was at times, but it never felt appropriate to share that. He intimidated her even still. Coming to get to know him a bit, it was obvious he really wanted to be her friend, though, and she was curious why with all of the reassurance he had given her why she hadn’t been able to act more accordingly.

“I apologize. Of course I think highly of you. I’m still getting used to the idea of us being friends and more than just your servant but… I never think it appropriate to share those thoughts.” She swallowed nervously, meeting his eyes again. “You are incredibly handsome and kind. You’ve never once annoyed me or made me upset. I like your singing voice when you think I can’t hear, and I like that you treat me as an equal. I apologize again, for making you even think I don’t think the absolute highest of you.”

While she’s had her nerves about breaching those boundaries, it wasn’t ever truly about him as an individual. It had to do with the establishment and the things that could happen if she was caught treating him as an equal. He could do whatever he wanted, but Y/N was supposed to follow a group of strict guidelines. Things Harry said were thrown away but she hadn’t trusted him enough until now. She hasn’t been given a reason to think after all these weeks.

She wasn’t an idiot. She knew Harry was attracted to her.

Why?

That remained to be a mystery as he had been given the entire kingdom and surrounding to choose from, but chose to spend his time with her. There was no time to even sneak out to see other omegas because there were no more hours in the day. It would take her a bit more time to allow that sort of thing to even be broached, though. This pace was good.

Sunday snippet

Hi!! Here’s a long-ish snippet from my upcoming @1daboficfest bc I have no self control. Aka the feral alpha au. I wasn’t tagged, I just wanted to share, but I’ll tag a few ppl below!! Also this is unedited and unbetaed, oops.

“Harry?” he uttered, voice soft, as he took a few more tentative steps. 

In response, a guttural growl filled the room, echoing against the bare walls, as Harry continued to grunt and growl with his head still buried between his arms. Terrifying, ferocious, ricocheting around the room and in his head. Despite Louis’ determination to not be affected, his omega trembled at the sound, and a high, stressed keen left his lips as he involuntarily slid down the the wall to his knees. 

And he wasn’t sure what caused it, but the relentless growling ceased, quieting to low rumbles. Still menacing, but less harsh. Louis took a moment to suck in deep breaths. He felt a little silly as he then started shuffling forwards on his knees, but he kept at it. 

“Harry, hey,” he tried again, voice dropping to a calm, silvery tone, inherently soothing. Omega voices were not always effective in the way alpha voices were; they tended to be most effective usually on family, partners, or children. But it was always worth a try.

Harry was shaking like a leaf now, his rumbles sounding more distressed than agitated. Louis’ omega almost couldn’t stand to see an alpha in such distress. He moved towards him bit by bit, approaching him like he was a spooked creature that had escaped the wild. The resemblance was uncanny.

When he was roughly five feet away from Harry, he was stopped from getting any closer by a warning growl. So he sat, on his haunches, with his hands held out to show he meant no harm. “I’m not here to hurt you. I won’t get any closer if you don’t want me to….you’re safe.”

No response came from Harry, other than panting breaths, and quiet grunts. 

Feeling emboldened by the fact that Harry had made no move to scare him off viciously, much less attack him, Louis continued speaking to him in the same tone. “I just want to talk, Harry. Nothing else, okay? The betas that came in did not want to hurt you. None of us do.”

When Harry made no move to stop him, Louis shuffled closer just a little more. “I know you’re scared. This room isn’t so nice, huh? Neither is being brought in somewhere against your will, I know. But-”

Louis took a deep breath.

“-this is a safe place. We are here to help you. I’m here to help you.”

The next moment, Louis found himself transfixed, stilling mid shuffle as Harry slowly lifted his head and met his stare dead on. Piercing green eyes bored into him- a little dull, a little lifeless, yet intense all the same- pinning him in place.

A helpless gasp fell from Louis.

BEATS PER MINUTE

"Can you read music?"

"I- yes," he nodded, to which the omega pulled a music sheet from somewhere. "Right, then," he breathed and darted his eyes, stepping on the small stage next to the piano and taking some kind of a position behind the microphone that stood there.

Harry had to blink repeatedly to remind himself he needed to breathe. He flashed a look to the table from behind which this omega's alpha was sending him daggers just a moment before, but the man's chair was empty. Maybe he moved closer to stage, Harry wondered, however, then he saw the blue suit next to Mr. Goldoni's place. They were laughing together and then, Barney probably offered them his Cuban cigars he kept in the car, so they all got up and left, Connor, Mr. Goldoni's bodyguard and bouncer, following in their steps.

Harry made his head turn to the omega. He must have seen them taking the stairs. But he was standing gracefully and proud, as if it didn’t hurt him that his alpha lost interest so easily. The next moment, they locked eyes. It felt like stepping into the center of a hurricane, because everything else started to spin. 

Play.

Right. He had to play.

But to do that, he should read the sheet first, so-

Suddenly, he noticed a hand-written note at the right corner of the paper. It was a melody on three staffs. A weird one. In fact, it couldn't even work, because the time bars didn't match the signature at all and-

His heart stopped when he understood that it was, in fact, not a melody. 

It was a message. A message in code the omega explicitely asked him to read. One of only a few words, because - to be fair - with the scale of eight notes standing for letters (if he didn't count the two possible suffixes of "is" and "es"), it was not that simple to write anything at all.

But Harry somehow understood it was in fact screaming for help as he read:  h-e | h-a-d | c-as-h || g-eis-h-a | his || c-h-as-e-d | c-a-g-e-d | g-a-g-g-e-d || And above the last line, which read: d-e-a-d ||, there was "Lento" scribbled down. Which meant "slowly".

Two heartbeats can be a sufficient soundtrack to a lovestory. With jazz, though? It gets better...

Does this reminds you of 'Let your Damage, Damage Me' of outropeace? Or Lunar Waltz maybe, cause I could swear it does to me.

my a/b/o dynamics guide !

the omegaverse is a sub-genre of fan fiction that introduces an alpha/beta/omega dynamic based on fictional biological characteristics. in this universe, characters often exhibit behaviors and roles similar to wolf packs, including dominance, submissiveness, mating instincts, and other specific traits related to the life cycle and reproduction. here is everything you need to know!

— alphas

position in society:

subordinate role: although alphas are physically imposing and have a strong presence, in my au they occupy a position of lesser social power and authority. they are often assigned roles of protection and physical strength.

they are respected for their physical abilities, but their opinion and decisions are subordinate to omegas, who are considered the true leaders and power figures.

appearance and presence:

physically imposing: alphas are big and muscular, with bodies designed for strength and endurance. their presence is powerful, and they can intimidate with their size and robust physique.

intense energy: they radiate an energy that suggests physical power and vitality. although their social standing is lower, their appearance makes them stand out in any environment.

behavior and personality:

possessive instincts: despite their hierarchical position, alphas have strong possessive and protective instincts. they tend to form intense bonds with their partners and may show jealousy or territorial behavior, especially if they feel their bond is threatened.

protective nature: they are naturally protective and feel driven to defend those they consider their own, be it their partner, family or close group.

relationships and interactions:

protection-based relationships: they seek to protect and care for their loved ones, even if they do not have the authority to make important decisions. their love and loyalty are manifested in their desire to keep their partners and friends safe.

strong pheromones: they emit powerful pheromones that can attract omegas and affect betas.

reproduction and biology:

strong reproductive drive: alphas have a strong reproductive drive, which is reflected in their desire to form bonds with omegas and protect their mates. they can be very fertile and are biologically designed for reproduction.

intense bonds: they form mating bonds based on intense physical and emotional connection. these bonds are deeply protective and possessive, reinforcing their guardian nature.

roles in the community:

protective and security tasks: given their physicality and natural abilities, alphas are often assigned to tasks that require strength. however, isn't the rule for everyone.

respect for their strength: they are respected for their ability to protect and work hard. their strength is seen as a valuable resource for the stability and security.

— betas

position in society:

intermediary role: betas occupy an intermediate position. they often act as intermediaries and mediators between alphas and omegas, taking advantage of their ability to communicate and understand the perspectives of both.

balance and moderation: they do not have the physical dominance of alphas or the biological influence of omegas but are known for their ability to maintain peace and order within the community. their role is crucial to social stability.

appearance and presence:

neutral appearance: betas have a less prominent appearance compared to alphas and omegas. they tend to be of medium build, with no features that stand out excessively, allowing them to blend easily into diverse environments.

calm presence: their energy is calmer and more controlled. they convey a sense of balance and serenity, which makes them be seen as trustworthy and reasonable individuals.

behavior and personality:

pragmatic and rational: betas are known for their pragmatic approach to life. they tend to be rational and think logically before making decisions.

peaceful nature: they prefer to avoid conflict and instead choose to resolve differences through conversation and negotiation.

relationships and interactions:

communication-based bonds: in relationships, betas value open communication and mutual understanding. they do not have the intense biological drives of alphas and omegas, which allows them to form relationships based on affection and emotional compatibility.

influential without coercion: although they cannot influence others through pheromones like alphas and omegas, their ability to communicate and reason makes them influential.

reproduction and biology:

lack of extreme biological drives: bettas do not experience rut/heat cycles this allows them to live more consistently and predictably compared to alphas and omegas. but, as humans, female betas experience period cycles once a month.

reproductive compatibility: they can breed only with other betas, although their reproductive capacity is not as emphasized compared to the other two groups. their focus is more on breeding and support rather than intense reproduction.

roles in the community:

coordination and administrative jobs: betas often fill roles that require organization and communication skills. again, not the rule.

respected for their judgement: they are valued for their ability to make balanced and fair decisions. they are often consulted on important issues and are entrusted with handling sensitive situations.

— omegas

position in society:

figures of influence and leadership: omegas occupy the highest position in the hierarchy. they are respected and admired for their ability to influence and guide others. their role in society is fundamental, and they are seen as natural leaders in many areas of life.

innate authority: although they do not always seek explicit power, their presence and abilities give them an innate authority that few question. they are seen as figures of wisdom and balance, capable of making decisions that benefit the collective.

appearance and presence:

beauty and elegance: omegas are often considered very attractive, with a beauty that captures the attention of others. their features are soft and harmonious, giving them an air of elegance and grace.

charismatic aura: they have a magnetic presence that attracts those around them. their natural charisma and ability to connect with others gives them great social influence.

behavior and personality:

empathetic nature: omegas are known for their empathy and ability to understand the feelings of others. this sensitivity makes them excellent leaders.

self-confidence: although they can be gentle and understanding, omegas are also very self-confident. they do not hesitate to express their opinions and to guide others when necessary. their confidence is based on their knowledge and their ability to positively influence their environment.

relationships and interactions:

strong emotional bonds: omegas tend to form deep and meaningful bonds with those around them. they value relationships based on honesty and mutual support. their ability to connect emotionally allows them to build lasting relationships.

influential pheromones: they emit pheromones that can influence the behavior of alphas and betas. although they do not always use this power consciously, their presence can calm or motivate those around them, reinforcing their leadership position.

reproduction and biology:

heat cycle: omegas experience a heat cycle that increases their desire to mate and attracts alphas to them. during this period, their pheromonal influence is intensified, making them even more attractive to potential mates.

high fertility: they have a high reproductive capacity and are biologically programmed to be caretakers and protectors of their offspring.

roles in the community:

leaders and guides: in society, omegas often take on roles of leadership and guidance. they may be public figures, community leaders, or in charge of raising and educating new generations.

change agents: thanks to their empathy and communication skills, omegas are able to promote positive changes in their environment. they are advocates for justice and the common good, using their influence to improve the quality of life in their community.

alphas !

mating cycles/rut: an alpha goes into heat every month, which can last from 3 to 10 days. during this period, the pheromones of an alpha are much stronger and they show a more aggressive behavior. in addition to the insatiable desire to release the knot by having constant sexual contact.

alpha voice/command: is combination of pheromones, will and spoken word, both betas and omegas are forced to comply with the command. they are resistant to the call and command of another alpha, but not to the call of another enigma or omega voice. 

alpha drop: it occurs when the alpha faces extreme situations of stress or danger, which leads to a kind of altered state of mind where he is temporarily disconnected from his environment. in this state, the alpha goes into deep introspection and appears distant or withdrawn. it is crucial that they are under the care of their partner or close people to guide them back to stability. they may also experience a fall after the formalization of a bond, where they surrender to their partner for support and care. this fall may be voluntary or arise involuntarily, depending on their mental and emotional state.

pheromones: alphas have scent glands. the scent they produce is usually more aggressive and oppressive than that of the other genera, dominated only by the scent of an omega in heat. through their scent, they can easily control a room full of bettas, showing their intention or mood regarding the situation.

knot: 

male alphas: at the base of the penis resides what is known as the knot. a knot can be inflated through sexual intercourse and will lock into the vaginal or anal walls of a beta or omega to trap sperm released after climax so that they can ensure the maximum chance of reproduction.

female alphas: in the anatomy of female alphas, they possess a retractable member that is stored in the vaginal canal when not in use. during sexual arousal, this member extends and activates, functioning in a similar way to that of male alphas.

bonding marks: they often allow themselves to be marked first by the omegas, as an act of devotion and deep commitment. they demonstrate their loyalty and willingness to bind their lives together forever, creating an unbreakable bond that strengthens their emotional and physical connection. this symbolic gesture of being marked first reflects the respect and importance they attach to their relationship with their omega, prioritizing their well-being and safety. 

omegas ! 

preheat: can last up to a week or more, essentially preparing the omega for the heat to come. their scent gradually becomes more potent the closer they are to their heat. during this period, the omega prepare for a space in which they feel safe and secure. This is generally known as their nest.

heat: when it, they experience an increase in body temperature and pain in the vaginal or anal walls. their scent becomes stronger to attract potential mates. the heat can last for 2 to 5 days, during which the omega becomes incoherent and desperately seeks to be breed. in this state, the omega is vulnerable and their decisions are driven by desperation and should not be followed. entering an omega's nest uninvited during the heat is considered trespassing and is severely punished.

nest: an omega's nest, created by an alpha, is a safe and cozy space filled with blankets, pillows and alpha-scented clothing. it is designed to offer comfort and protection during the heat or in normal situations, providing a calm environment that relieves the omega's anxiety and reinforces their sense of security and connection.

omega voice: the omega voice is something simple and common, more of a method of reinforcement to accomplish facts or get what they need. although it is easier to carry out, it is also not widely used and has no other purpose than to get what they want.

omega drop: it can happen when the omega feels surrounded by danger or goes through a lot of stress, thus falling into a mental space where it connects with its omega and appears to be gone to others. they must be under the care of their partner or close ones in order to come out properly. it can also happen after the formalization of a bond, falling into it and allowing themse6 to be taken care of. they may fall of their own free will or if their state of mind requires it, this being involuntary.

bond marks: they have smaller fangs than alphas and enigmas, they have the ability to bite to claim or mark a bond with their mate, these being only of the aforementioned castes, never betas. it can be given in any situation under any circumstances, it is valid and not so noticeable, but brilliant. if their mates manage to accept this mark, they proceed to make an equal one on the opposite side of the omega's neck, making the bond official.

omega warning call: only occurs when they are at high risk, which is not very common. it causes alphas, betas or enigmas that put them in such situations to be stunned enough to let them escape. it is an extremely high-pitched screech that has the ability to block hearing for minutes, causing discomfort and pain.

childbirth: 

male omegas: the process of delivering of male omega involves adapting his anatomy to allow for birth. during delivery, the omega's intestines temporarily close, and his uterus moves into the anal canal to facilitate the expulsion of the baby. the omega experiences contractions and pain similar to those of a conventional birth, but adapted to his structure. 

female omegas: the delivery of a female omega is a natural process where the baby is expelled through the vaginal canal. during delivery, the omega experiences contractions that help open the birth canal and allow the baby to pass through. 

with proper assistance, the baby is eventually expelled through the canal. after delivery, the omega receives care to ensure his and the newborn's recovery.

bond marks ! 

are a connection that is established only between alpha and omega and between alpha and alpha or omega and omega. there are no beta and alpha, beta and beta, beta and omega bonds.

bonds are not subject to feelings, an omega/alpha may "mark" an omega/alpha by instinct, and may not necessarily love them, both may hate each other, but the bond will hold them together.

there is the possibility of breaking a bond, this happens when one of the two dies. when it happens, it's very common for both sides to go into a deep depression, because the bond unites both parties physically and mentally. 

when they are in different places or when they don't want to be bonded, for too long, they feel such an emptiness that they do not have the strength to continue, many even die in this condition.

pheromones/aroma ! 

they are a means of transmitting signals that can be both volatile and non-volatile. the volatile ones are those that can be perceived with the sense of smell (the "aroma") and the non-volatile ones are those that generate changes but are not perceived with the sense of smell (those that are not in the aroma). here, the volatile ones (aroma) generate sudden changes in different people (as can happen with omegas and alphas).
