#nouis omegaverse

[disgruntledkittenface]

Hi Maggie! I have a question (or few lol) on your personal opinion/experience, if you're willing to share. I have been reading fic for...a very long time lol but I have never read any abo. Based on some self-reflection I think it's that I just don't know how it works so I think I won't understand the fic or will miss important nuances. But I just read the description of your accidental courting fic and it sounds super cute! And I'm reminded of all the times I've read a fic description and was interested, then realized it was abo so I didn't read it (which feels so embarrassing to say!). I know my apprehension is likely keeping me from experiencing something I might really enjoy. And so my question is, what about abo fics do you think you cannot find in other fics? Or put another way, what do you like about abo fics in general? Also how did you get into writing them?

hiii anon! First, thank you for saying that the accidental courting au sounds cute! (I think it is, but I wrote it lol) And it's fun to get an opportunity to talk about this trope, which I'm going to refer to as omegaverse, I'm glad you asked <3

I'm going to link a primer that @allwaswell16 wrote because it covers the basics really well and includes links for further reading. That said, the trope can get very subjective and there are still things I don't understand fully. Like it gets a little hazy when I think about scenting glands, and I hope @crinkle-eyed-boo won't mind me saying so, but neither of can actually visually a nest. So I get your apprehension, but I don't think you need to know all the details to enjoy the trope.

The thing about omegaverse is that sometimes it can feel like a way to make a gay couple straight. When I get that vibe from a fic, I just close the tab. But I was talking about this with @lululawrence years ago, and she was explaining that there are writers who use omegaverse to explore dynamics similar to men/women because that lets them do it at a little bit of a distance. And I understand that – as a writer, sometimes I want to explore something with a female character because I identify as female, and sometimes I don't. Sometimes I want that distance.

I think what appeals to me about omegaverse is that it's kind of primal. Sometimes I'm in the mood for instincts to just take over! It's kind of like a soulmate au in that way, almost like an external force guiding two characters if that makes sense.

I hope this isn't obnoxious but since we're talking, I decided to just go through each omegaverse fic I've written (only 6!)

For a long time, I didn't plan on writing omegaverse. But then I saw a few prompts for a fest that were clearly submitted by the same person, and it was just so sweet because they all ended with "please." The one I picked said "A soft Narry where Harry is alpha and Niall is omega, please." so I got to anything I wanted with it. I thought about doing something with Niall modeling Omega watches because I thought that was hilarious, but there was something at the back of my head telling me this Harry would be ace. So I decided to explore that a bit and I centered it around touch deprivation because sometimes I feel a little touch deprived. a little tenderness

Then for some reason, I got really into the idea of an alpha building a nest for their omega. And I had this little snippet of a scene in my head with one partner saying "you've been so sad lately" and the other one not wanting to admit why, but they already know. So those two ideas kind of morphed, and then I wrote a couple of other scenes that just like INTRIGUED me so I could get them out of my head. with love on the line

I saw a prompt about accidental courting, and then decided to actually try writing it after a friend encouraged me. I struggled to get going because originally I wanted Harry not to realize he even had a crush on Louis, and the characters simply would not cooperate. So he could only be oblivious about the courting rituals, not the crush. I want to say this is the most, like, stereotypical omegaverse that I've written? But it still starts with alpha Harry baking. baby, you're the end of june

I do not remember why, but at some point I got really interested in how girl direction omegaverse would work. I went looking on tumblr and online, and found a couple of references. So originally I wanted to explore the mechanics. But it became really, really personal while I was writing! I did not mean for that to happen! But I love how this one turned out. enough to make a girl blush

THEN I was like... but what about two female alphas? I don't know if the scents in this one quite work, they did in my head. But after this one, I felt like I kind of got f/f omegaverse out of my head because I had figured it out. when we're finished saying nothing

Although then I decided to do a cute followup on a side pairing from enough to make a girl blush for a fest. count me in

WAIT OKAY I'M SEEING A PATTERN. TWO PATTERNS.

CARETAKING – I think that I like seeing one partner taking care of the other in omegaverse (although I probably like that in all tropes)

And honestly, I just like trying new things.

So for me, I do like the unique aspect of the instincts and primal nature in omegaverse, but it's also just kind of a fun playground because you can do so many things.

I hope this wasn't too long! And listen, I know people who love omegaverse and people who won't read or write it, so there's no wrong way to fandom <3

Oof, I’m way too weak to pick one Tomlinshaw as a favorite. Top contenders incl. London Rain by writcraft, The Next Bit Was Spanners To My Plan by LadyAJ_13 (lots of their fics could make this list, tbh), The Million Reasons Why by reminiscingintherain, The One Where . . . series by checkthemargins, and Brighter This Time by jiksa.

The author alison has some great poly and voyeurism smut. Won’t You Jingle My Bells by grimouis is good holiday 3-some smut. 😇 I recently stumbled across (it has basically no tags and no description) A Light, A Shiny Gold by vashtanerados and really liked it - a thoughtful fic, with a moment of deep kindness and understanding at the end that made me cry. A new pwp Louis/omc is Bet On It by nouies— the omc is Louis’ boyfriend who’s also concert security and it’s 🔥. There’s an ongoing poly series, For My Lovers, with Louis/Harry/omc by kikiberoski16 that’s good; the omc is a strong character and not just an afterthought. And there’s a couple Greg James ones I really like: Always Keep You Next To Me by lululawrence and Getting A Head For Heights by LadyAJ_13. (Sorry this is so self-indulgently long 😞). I’d love to hear your recommendations!

Thanks for all of this!

I might have read some of those tomlinshaw but they're not in my saved fics except those by alison hahaha

I did start the Bet On It series a while back and looooooved it (it was so timely!) but I forgot to check for new chapters... I will do so! Love their Louis/footballer series too (which seems to be completed now :/) I will def check out the holiday smut - 'tis the season after all!

If you also want something on that theme, Smile Again by mistresscurvy is a lilo fake relationship that takes place during Christmas and it's really cute! Love The New Posh and Becks by that author too (love a good football au!)

The 2 fics that I re-read all the time are Let's Break the Internet, some excellent OMC smut... very unfortunately it's an orphan account so I have no idea who wrote it and can't tell them how I adoooore this one. The other one is To reach a port we must set sail by thedeathchamber.... Henry Cavill and Italy... what else???

I've probably mentioned those in my previous fic recs but A Tear in the Sky by zanni_scaramouche which is a story about a cult, omegaverse, Niall's POV and not smut/love story.

Zouis: To Catch a Thief by StormDancer; Favourite Boy and New York Kiss by wordsnnotes; Stuck In An Eternal Spring by flamboyo would be my top 3. See also a previous rec post and here. (Louis/OMC recs here).

I have opened and bookmarked SO many fics that I have then abandonned because honestly there's SO much. At some point I was reading only stuff under 10K. Recently I switched to IWTV fics, they have some excellent authors too and I feel slightly less weird reading fanfic based on a work of fiction. But I'm always grateful for some good recs :)

[voulezloux]

Hellloooo!

You ask at the end of one of your fic to tell you to stop with your obsession with enemies to lovers fics… my apologies for not following directions but please continue with your obsession. Enemies to lovers fics are a public service and they can never be too many 🤓

awe 🥺 thank you !!

while my big bang is unfortunately not enemies to lovers (rip), one of my fics i’ve signed up for for blff is exes to enemies to lovers (a twist!) and maybe my omegaverse will be enemies to lovers??? idk, big bang needs to big bang out of my life rn but there will be more enemies to lovers from me in the future 😌

(also thank u @nouies for knowing my fics better than me and telling me which one this was)

[ladyaj-13]

Welcome to my October/November 2022 combined fic rec list! (Because October kind of ran away from me at the end there.) This list features Ziam, Nouis, Louis/Harry/Niall, Louis/Bressie, Stylinshaw, Louis/Rob Pattinson, Louis/Sebastian Stan (it’s the Louis Rare Pair Fic Fest!), and Larry. 

As always, please let me know if I’ve missed any tumblr people tags - if they’re not linked at the end of the AO3 page I tend to miss them.

Ziam

the hidden love burns - we_are_the_same - One Direction (Band) [Archive of Our Own] @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed - E, 6k - canon, mutual pining, dirty talk. This was very hot and also I loved how they handled the situation? That might be a weird comment for a fic like this but it’s an awkward position to be in, and I really appreciated how the characters communicated and dealt with things. 

Nouis

Five Times Niall Wanted To Kiss Louis (And One Time He Did) - becka - One Direction (Band) [Archive of Our Own] - G, 635 - canon, drabble sequence, pining. Short but incredibly sweet, the boys sort themselves out over nine years.

Uncharted Territory - Lalalaartje - One Direction (Band) [Archive of Our Own] - E, 3k - canon, fluff and smut. Okay, wow. So this author wrote this as a prequel to one of my fics, and I’m incredibly glad I managed to inspire them because now we all have this to enjoy. It’s five times the length and perfect and you should all go read it right now!

leave my heart open - temerity (forsanethaec) - One Direction (Band) [Archive of Our Own] - E, 29k - canon. To be honest, I forgot to make notes for this one, read it almost two months ago and have a terrible memory. But it’s a long, plotty, canon Nouis fic with angst and pining, you know I’m reccing it for a reason.

Niall/Louis/Harry

we'll be alright - bravestyles - One Direction (Band) [Archive of Our Own] - NR, 31k - desert island fic, canon, emotional hurt/comfort. Oh, the feels in this fic. I literally cried. It’s so, so good.

Louis/Niall Breslin

Good Boys Do Bad Things - YesIsAWorld - One Direction (Band) [Archive of Our Own] @louandhazaf - E, 8k - size difference, AU, famous/not famous. 5’9’’ (disputed) and 6’6’’... and a super well written fic with some lovely details. I think this is my first Louis/Bressie, too!

Stylinshaw

I Can Go With The Flow - lululawrence - One Direction (Band) [Archive of Our Own] @lululawrence - NR, 5k - AU, outsider perspective, fluff and humour. This is so cute guys! I’m always here for Stylinshaw and loved having Gemma’s perspective on it :)

Louis/Robert Pattinson

Next Door - allwaswell16 - One Direction (Band) [Archive of Our Own] @allwaswell16 - NR, 2k - canon, meet-cute, absolutely top-notch Louis&Oli friendship. I loved this. Cute and funny and I just want more of this world. More Chiquita dancing. More pet co-ownership. More passive aggressive tea making. 

Louis/Sebastian Stan

over my shoulder - nouies - One Direction (Band) [Archive of Our Own] @nouies - E, 11k - omegaverse, famous/famous, fake relationship. I was so excited when I saw this, I have a soft spot for SebStan, and it didn’t disappoint. And the artwork/gifs! Incredible. So realistic.

Larry

Close Enough to Touch - YesIsAWorld - One Direction (Band) [Archive of Our Own] @louandhazaf - M, 11k - canon adjacent, famous/non-famous, masseuse on tour. This is so well written, such a sensitive portrayal of the characters, sweet and sexy and wonderful.

I Know How To Whisk (But Teach Me Anyway) - 2tiedships2 - One Direction (Band) [Archive of Our Own] @2tiedships2 - M, 32k - omegaverse, baking, strangers to lovers. You know you’re in safe hands with this author. This was cute and lovely, and left me rooting through the freezer for the banana bread I had stashed in there so I could dive even deeper into the story!

Roses for one by notasawrap

—Alfa —masculló en tono inocente, apretando la erección ligeramente. El alfa gruño en su oído, logrando que Louis se retorciera desesperado. Nunca había deseado con tantas ganas ser follado por un alfa.

—Joder, bebé, tengo tantas ganas de enterrar mi rostro en ese culito tuyo —Louis chilló en sorpresa ante el apretón del alfa. Sus manos eran enormes y Louis amaba la manera descarada en que se cernían sobre su trasero.

AU donde Louis es un omega que intenta hacer lo que quiere y, él realmente cree que lo hace, y Harry un alfa con delgados labios color sandía que Louis quisiera besar por siempre

✨️ Twenty Questions for Fic Writers ✨️

Thank you @allwaswell16 and @haztobegood for tagging me! I love reading everyone's answers to these <3

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

60, including one cowrite

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

831,513

3. What fandoms do you write for?

One Direction. I use the BBC Radio 1 RPF tag for pairings with Nick Grimshaw, and I used the Shawn Mendes (Musician) one a few times, too.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

you came into my life, caught up in your love affair, baby, you're the end of june, an honest mistake and tell me what you need

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Yes! I love replying to comments, even when I feel awkward about it. I really like getting replies from authors, I find it discouraging not to, so that's partly why. But a nice comment really makes me day, and I want to let people know I appreciate that. But I might miss one occasionally, and sometimes I don't reply if I think the commenter is being rude.

6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

It's probably my first fic, This Town. The whole fic is Niall processing Zayn leaving the band – but more importantly leaving him, and they don't get back together in the end. It's not my fault, Niall wrote a sad song! But also I was in the thick of grieving, so. That's what happened.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I almost, almost always write happy endings, so I could really pick this one at random lol, but I'll go with enough to make a girl blush. I really love how far Louis has come at the end of that fic and how happy she and Niall are together and how good they are together. Plus, I wrote a happy little timestamp for Harry and Zayn (count me in).

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I've gotten comments that don't sit well with me, but not really. I did post a fic set at the beginning of COVID before I knew how bad it would get, and someone messaged me to say they were sorry about the hate it was getting... but I didn't see any?

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

yes! I write smut that I find hot, girl direction and boy direction. When I started writing, I felt like I wrote absolutely terrible smut and I worked really hard to figure it out. Practice makes progress, baby.

10. Do you write crossovers? What the craziest one you've written?

I've written a couple of reality show AUs with the actual people from the shows in the fic – you came into my life and you wanna be on top? Nothing too crazy!

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I think someone stole a shiall one-shot and posted it on Wattpad. Weirdly, I feel like I haven't made it because that doesn't happen to me more often.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

yes! Most recently, someone asked if they could translate pink like the paradise found into Russian and they were so lovely.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I took part in a round robin for Nic's (@louandhazaf) birthday a few years ago! (Louis referring to merlot as the basic bitch of wines was me!) Co-writing has come up as an idea a couple of times, but the timing or idea etc has never been right.

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

I kind of have to fall deep for a pairing to write them, so I love a lot of pairings! Aside from larry, I think gryles might be my favorite. Something about the pining best friends who can't be together because of... REASONS just gets me where I live.

15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

I had an idea for a lilo exes to lovers AU based on bennifer and I wrote a snippet that I really liked for it, but I felt like I was white washing Jennifer Lopez, if that's the right word? Like you can't separate her from the fact that she's Puerto Rican, so casting Louis in that role didn't feel right. I could try to figure out another way to approach it, but I don't really think I'll feel inspired enough.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I think I'm really good at continuity, and writing scenes with lots of people and involving all of them.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I always feel like I start sentences with "Niall did this" and "Harry did that" (sorry, writing narry at the moment). So, narration that's not action? Does that make sense?

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I think it can be done effectively. I liked how the French worked in Darling, so it goes. It made sense to include because Harry moved to a country where he didn't speak the language. I tried to make the meaning of the French clear when Harry understood it, but I didn't include translations in the notes because Harry didn't understand a lot, and I wanted the reader in his shoes. I worked really hard on the French because I don't speak it, but I asked @somethingwittyorother to look it over and their feedback was incredibly helpful.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

One Direction!

20. Favorite fic you've written?

It's usually the last fic that I posted, so right now it's Suddenly Last Summer. I had the best time writing it and it was such a fulfilling creative outlet, and I just love it.

hi Maggie!!! like i’ve said before, my fave story from you is “enough to make a girl blush” aka nouis omegaverse. it was so cute, and fun, but also i could relate to it as a small town girl going to the city and knowing how different things are there. i really fell in love with niall hehe. and all in all, it was such a great story! i like your writing so much and i love getting new fics from you :)

Thank you so much, Lou!!! I really didn't know how personal that story would become or how much I would love it when I started outlining and I'm just so happy with it and it means everything that it's your fave! ❤️❤️

[disgruntledkittenface]

Maggie!! happy fanfic writer appreciation day! thank you so much for sharing your writing with the world and for always letting ppl like me to discover new things. i really admire your versatility and how it seems that you’re not afraid to try new things. if i had to choose one of your fics as a fave, it had to be “enough to make a girl blush” - i’ve reread it a couple of times since you posted it and it always makes me feel the same things if not more, and i really appreciate that in a story. i hope you continue to share your talent and creativity with this fandom. thank you and happy day! <333

thank you so much, Lou!!! you are so supportive and I appreciate you so much!

I'm so happy to hear that you like enough to make a girl blush! I was definitely trying new things with that one, and it's so validating to hear that you've reread <3
