Harvey is a pureblood dominant Alpha or maybe an Enigma* with no Beta** or Omega characteristics. There’s no question about it. The confidence—the swagger, there’s a reason he acts like he has the biggest dick in the room. His pheromones are incredibly strong. Like one whiff and omegas are fawning all over him. While he likes giving people his attention, he dislikes when it isn’t on his own terms. Therefore, to be more in control, he will wear scent patches*** and regular cologne. He doesn’t want or need pheromone cologne, he thinks it’s a waste of money. He likes wearing extra strength patches and depending on how much he wants a client to be able to smell him through his cologne he will wear 1-4 patches. He usually wears 2-4 patches when he’s a work as a curtesy. The number fluctuates depending on how close he is to his rut.
* Enigma in this case would be an Alpha that can get other Alpha’s pregnant. Every Enigma is a pureblood dominant Alpha, but not every pureblood dominant Alpha is an Enigma.
** Beta in this instance is someone whose secondary gender is considered intersex. They can lean either way and have more Omega or Alpha characteristics or tendencies. Betas hormone cycles are less intense and less frequent than an Alpha’s or Omega’s, but still exist. Betas with Omega characteristics are more likely to have a heat but may also have a rut. Similar but swapped is true of Betas with Alpha characteristics. A true Beta will have more of an even toss up of whether they will have a heat cycle or a rut cycle.
*** Scent patches block scents. There are different strengths that are used as needed. Betas might wear 0-2 regular patches. Alphas and Omegas would have to wear 3-8 regular patches or 1-4 strong patches to have the same level of coverage as a Beta. They are considered over the counter and can be found in the pharmacy section of most corner stores, doctors offices or free clinics may give them away for free.
Louis Litt
Louis, oh Louis. That man is an Omega and no one can convince me otherwise. He doesn’t have any Beta characteristics or tendencies. I would also like to say, I think he’s the only Omega in his immediate family as well. A good chunk of his insecurity comes from a desire to prove himself and he’s quite jealous of Alphas, especially Harvey, because he’s had to put in arguably more work to get where he is. Also who doesn’t love an Alpha x Omega rivalry. Historically I’d say that Omegas were typically shoehorned into more submissive jobs like teaching, waiting tables, etc. With a rise in women’s, Omega’s, and Beta’s rights movements in the last century or so, it’s less common to see gender discriminated workplaces. That doesn’t mean there isn’t sexism based on primary or secondary genders still. Louis needs people to see him as their equal regardless of gender. When he plays mind games, it’s to show that he can be a threat and that he means business, like when he fake fires that guy in front of Mike. He typically wears 1-2 strong patches at work and with clients. He doesn’t mind if others smell his pheromones, in fact it can give him advantages in certain situations with clientele. He tends to wear more patches close to his heat cycle. He also doesn’t take suppressants* unless he knows his heat will interfere with an important work deadline.
* Suppressants are a short term way to delay a heat or rut cycle. You can find them at certain pharmacies or get the prescribed by a doctor if you need a way to delay your cycle longer than 4-6 days. No one is supposed to take suppressants longer than 3-14 days as it can lead to serious health problems or death.
Jessica Pearson
Jessica is either a Beta with Alpha characteristics and tendencies or a trans Alpha. Either of which would’ve been kind of unheard of at the law firm, and on top of that she’s a woman of color. A true gamble for sure. Her pheromones are light, so she really only needs 1-2 strong patches. She doesn’t take suppressants because she can work through her cycles. When she does, she wears an extra scent patch. People have always underestimated her and often humiliate themselves when they make assumptions about her. She has a soft spot for Louis because she also had to work very hard to get to her position. She doesn’t play favorites, but she is more gentle with Louis than Harvey because she knows Harvey will be able to take it. She likes using both regular and pheromone perfume depending on who she’s meeting with on any given day.
(I may add more about her later, but for now this feels like a good blurb.)
Donna Paulson
Donna is a Beta with Omega characteristics. Depending on her cycle, she will use suppressants but it’s very rarely. She often doesn’t feel like she needs them and works through her cycle. It doesn’t show in her work which is part of what makes Harvey like her so much as his secretary; he’s had others where their cycles did affect the quality of their work. She usually only wears regular perfume. The exception is if she’s playing with a client or teasing Harvey, then she wears pheromone perfume. Donna also only wears 1-2 regular scent patches.
Mike Ross
There’s so many different routes I could go for with Mike. My three favorites are: late-bloomer Alpha, an Enigma who never realized it and or was not socialized properly, or trans Alpha, specifically one who used to be an Omega. (Like if you ask me to go into detail about any of these three options I can.) Mike uses suppressants more than the others in this list. He hates being out of commission for his cycle, he likes working and hates succumbing to instinct. Regardless of which of the three he is, he’s a little insecure about it and it isn’t until he meets Harvey that he starts growing into the Alpha he’s always wanted to be. He has always used regular cologne because it was cheaper, but now Harvey has encouraged him to get some pheromone cologne too. He was also never properly taught about scent patches so he would often use too many and smell like nothing at all. It would put people on edge. Now he’s learned he likes 2-3 strong patches.
For Not Even Angels Are… prologue and first chapter should be up end of may/beginning of june. I’m visiting family and forgot my notepad with the outline lol 😂
Also I may end of creating a tag list for it, so if you’d like to be tagged comment here please.
Another Retelling of a Grand Duke’s Long Lost Daughter
Platonic! Taskforce141 x reader x König but with a classic Manwha twist
Leaf’s Story
Basically a cross post from my other account. It’s a COD OC story borrowing Saint. It’ll be posted to my other account but linked here in an easy to find place.
Again, another crossover! I love this one because it’s got so many little plots that I can’t wait to see how they converge.
So Reader is half siblings to the Winchester brothers. Her mom was also a hunter and for one reason or another, she left Reader with John. Reader grew up with them and joined them on hunts when she was old enough. Then, everything changed when they met the Trickster, or, as they would later learn, the Archangel Gabriel. Gabriel always seemed to have a soft spot for Reader.
On his deathbed, Gabriel informs Reader that she is one of his true vessels, hence their bond and sibling-like relationship despite being an Angel and a human. Then he dies. Overcome with grief, she throws herself into hunting. It’s destructive to her, but on a hunt gone wrong, she finds herself flung into a new dimension, one with superheroes and aliens, and a brand new set of powers that seem all too familiar.
Deals with Devils… And Why You Shouldn’t Make Them
Basically what’s going on here is a Supernatural x Batman crossover, because I love crossovers. They make every single rat in my head happy. That being said here’s what it’s about.
So kinda a Reader insert, haven’t decided how, but Reader is Sam’s twin. She’s so very very tired of her brothers dying all the time. She makes a rather open ended deal with Crowley in exchange for them being safe or at least safer. How was she supposed to know Crowley wanted to try his hand at matchmaking?
Crowley on the other hand, adores Reader like a niece, and wants to spoil her. What better way to do that then set up an arranged marriage with billionaire and philanthropist Bruce Wayne? So what if he blackmailed him with his secret identity/nightlife as Batman. If the two could get over their trust issues they might be able to see that they have more in common than not. And who knows, they might even grow love each other.
This is kinda heavily inspired by my awesome mutual’s, @docdudo, stories. They write awesome platonic! Taskforce141 stories. It’d also be inspired by childcare Manwhas.
I kinda imagine Price as like a Grand Duke with Simon, Kyle, and Johnny as his adopted kids so they are a bit older that reader. Reader would be Price’s long lost daughter because I said so
For shiggles, Shepherd could be the emperor type character with Philip as the crown prince and König as the second prince. OR Shepherd is another Duke, Philip as his son, and they are pushing for the noble faction to have power. But they can only do that by making a deal with Price, because he’s been neutral/leading the neutral faction and supporting neither the König the crown prince nor the noble faction.
I haven’t thought much about it but I think this could be really silly. Obviously none of the characters are starting at their cannon ages/what their cannon ages are assumed to be.
