hi new followers, welcome to the spin cycle, glad to have you

I'm the one who's been sending a majority of the abo/bdsm ideas to you, usually the long ones 😬 - I'd say sorry but I'm really enjoying sharing them with someone and I love seeing what you have to say.
I don't want to bombard you with asks if you're already getting a ton but I've been thinking about a magic au minnycule and wondered if you'd be interested if I sent it as an ask. It's long and different than the stuff you've been discussing so I wanted to check. I don't need a quick response to it or one at all tbh, I'm just enjoying sharing ideas with someone.
aww, thank you anon!! there's been a lot of good content that's given me ideas for sure, and even if i don't vibe with all of it, i'm always interested to see what people have to say
i would be super interested to hear about magic au minnycule 👀👀👀 i won't get around to responding tonight but i would love to see what you have to share!!
ok that's all the asks i'm going to answer. if you didn't see yours get a response, apologies....it either got lost in the aether and didn't actually make it to my inbox, or the content of it just isn't really my vibe. i appreciate how many of you want to share with me your thoughts and ideas, and i do genuinely enjoy reading them. it's not that there's anything wrong with certain concepts/ideas, it's just that some stuff just makes me uncomfortable, and first & foremost this is a fandom space that i curate for me.
anyway, anon asks are open again. just for my own sanity, i'll humbly request that people only send one at a time (i.e. if i haven't answered the first one you sent, please hold off on sending another). i'm just a little guy and i can only read and write so fast 😭
Omega Quinn with a neckguard but because he hasn't presented yet when he joins the Canucks, his parents make him sign a contract saying he has to hide his presentation if he doesn't present as an Alpha. (They knew he would be an O, presenting so late etc. and so did the Canucks but they wanted him)
When he does present as an Omega, they force him to parade as an Alpha because an O in a hockey team ? No thanks. Even if said O is an amazing player. There ARE Omegas in hockey but they are rare.
Quinn is forced to use suppressants and scents blockers. His neckguard is wrongwrongwrong. It doesn't smell like him or like his team. It isn't the right color either (usually red for A/blue for B/gold for O or any kind of a team' colors variants)
He becomes Captain and it's getting harder to breathe. His team doesn't listen to him anymore. He loses his friends because of trades.
But Quinn can't do anything about it until he starts getting sicker and sicker and he just snaps.
He asks for a trade. He knows he can't keep this thing going on any longer. His parents aren't happy but he is an adult now.
When the Wild asks for him, he immediately tells them he is an Omega and won't hide. Bill is like "ok? why would you hide it in the first place??"
The first time he joins the team in the locker room, Quinn comes out as an Omega. The boys are stunned but go with it. They already have a Beta Captain and half of their team are hobbits or "too old". They don't do normal in Minnesota.
(They are later angry when Bill finally tell them what happened to Quinn in Vancouver. They are ready to fight some people.)
Of course, Kirill is immediately enamoured by Quinn because of his hockey style and doesn't understand what personal space is.
Of course Brock is afraid to hurt his partner, is a totally mess when it comes to Quinn but is the first to punch some player insulting Quinn during a game.
Of course Matt doesn't stop tackling Quinn during a celly but he gets more aggressive when someone tries to hurt him.
Of course, the whole team adopts him. (Nick adopts him so fast when the older Foligno joins the Wild, Quinn doesn't understand what the hell happened.)
Of course, there is backlash because he hid his designation for so long but the Wild have his back. And it is funny to see Matt or Marcus chirp back when someone says something about him being an Omega. ("Eh, if I remember well said Omega kicked your ass the four last time you played him, dude." then proceeds to push the guy in the boards.)
Then when Quinn finally goes on ice with his brand new Wild neckguard, it is a pretty cream color, like the color of his jersey. It smells like his team and himself.
He finally has a team who loves the real him. No more hiding. And probably 3 mates, Jack and Luke are going to kill them.
ohhh boy, poor quinn. being an impossibly late bloomer, who at that point just kind of figured he was a beta, until one day—boom, surprise!! and the idea that even initially he would maybe go along with pretending to be an alpha, just because at the time he’s young and so worried that being an omega might interfere with his nhl career—and playing hockey is worth making that kind of sacrifice.
except it’s not, really, and by the time he himself realizes how miserable it’s making him (and, more self-deprecatory, how stupid he was to go along with it), things have already basically fallen apart. and in his mind, what’s worse: playing hockey as an omega and dealing with all the potential bullshit that comes along with it, or feeling sick and out of place all the time, even in spaces he’s supposed to belong? so when the trade with minnesota finally goes through, he thinks, fuck it. worst case scenario the team is shitty about it and quinn’s up for trade again the following season.
but the wild are actually really good about it, which makes him feel sort of unbalanced—it’s not at all what he was expecting. they care about him as a person, not just as a player, and they’re not weird about the omega thing in any of the ways he was taught to expect. sure, he basically gets smothered in scents before every game, but that’s not bad, and he realizes that it does a lot to keep other team’s players in line. no one really messes with him when he smells like multiple giant, protective hockey players. he’s not prepared for the way they fight for him, either, which he initially has some mixed feelings about. do they not think he can defend himself? do they see him as weak? but honestly, it’s just the way they all are about each other—it’s just more so with quinn so that other teams don’t get the idea that he could be an easy target, just because he’s an omega. and quinn can appreciate that. it feels good to know that they have his back, and to feel like for the first time in a while that he actually belongs to a pack, and one that sees him and values him for who he is!!
also i misread the last sentence as “jack & luke are going to kill him” and was deeply amused by the concept of quinn going home for the summer and his brothers just being like “welcome home. whore.” dkfgjhs
Continuing the train of thought about unsure/nervous/whatever omega Quinn
And he just lets Brock scent him at first, and Jared because he's Captain.
The thing is, omegas who don't get scented enough regularly get sick. Like Quinn was when he first got to Minnesota.
And as helpful as Brock is, Quinn needs more people to scent him if he wants to avoid getting sick again.
Plus, scenting omegas help betas and alphas too. So he kind of feels like he needs to let them do it to help them too.
Cue Brock playing middle man and doing some careful but intent nudging to get Quinn to start letting some of the others scent him.
And of course he goes with Kirill and Matt first.
Partly because those are his guys, but also because they have a good relationship with Quinn.
And it's all a little easier for Quinn to consider when he's got Brock plastered to his back, patiently waiting for Quinn to allow it because he knows he will if they give him a min.
And he does.
Lets Brock carefully tilts Quinn's head back to rest of his shoulder and has the other arm around his waist.
Kirill and Matt each take one side of his neck and he can tell when his scent really hits them because it's like the air around them just relaxes.
Sharp teeth graze over his skin, and honestly wtf what is up these Minnesota alphas? He's never had so many teeth against his throat in his life because Brock definitely uses his teeth and I won't be swayed to think otherwise, and the muscles in his stomach jump as he fights the urge to drop his chin and hide his neck.
Brock just quiets him and holds him tighter, fingers under his shirt and petting at his hip.
If Quinn really freaked out they'd let him go.
They had made it clear they weren't going to let him get sick again though. Not while he was with them.
They'd been patient so far but Quinn knew that time was running out to do this on his terms, if he had any.
He really doesn't. It's just vulnerable as fuck and he's sat and thought about it too much now. Worked it up to this big thing in his head and it's not. Rationally he knows that.
And this isn't bad. He trusts Brock, trusts Kirill and Matt.
Trusts the whole team really, even though he isn't ready to let everyone at his throat yet.
And he does start to feel better, and it gets easier. He doesn't need Brock to hold him still each time anymore.
Let's more of them at his throat until they all do it almost absent mindedly, whenever they get the urge to or notice their scent fading.
Quinn just tilts his head when he feels one of them lingering and keeps doing whatever he was doing.
Brock still does it the most, Kirill and Matt up there too. They're more likely to work their teeth into it too, making sure their scent sticks into the little bruises they can nip into his skin.
And I imagine omegas having scent glands on their necks, wrists and inner thighs.
Sooo maybe those three take care of making sure those other spots are marked too? ☺️
okay. so. anon. this ask made me feral. just so you kow.
like i’ve been sitting on this one for 3 days but i could not stop thinking about it!!!
huge huge huge yes on omegas who get sick if they’re not scented enough. the need for scenting and pack bonds and stuff both ultimately come down to the fact that no one’s meant to be solitary, to be without some kind of pack, no matter how small—which in quinn’s opinion, is a pretty fucking big design flaw, but also biology doesn’t really care about his thoughts on the matter, so. oof and in vancouver things falling apart to the point where no one was really regularly scenting anybody else, and it really whittled down the people quinn could do that with to such a small handful, which with the degrading pack bonds had such an effect on him. like he even tried to be proactive about it, but there was only so much rejection (no matter how gentle or unintentional) before he just stopped asking.
and then coming to the wild, where they’re all over each other all the time in a way quinn’s never really seen in a hockey team, but even if he’s still hesitant about his place there with them, he can’t deny that it feels nice to at least be included on the periphery of that kind of thing. and once the wild figure out that he’s pretty scent-sick, for an omega, they immediately try bringing him into that even more fully—but quinn is anxious and still unsure, and it’s clear that their enthusiasm makes him uncomfortable and kind of skittish. they realize they’re going to have to go slower with it, if they want quinn to actually fold into the pack (and they want that so bad, and they’re pretty sure he does too). so if in the beginning, quinn’s only comfortable letting brock scent him, and only tolerant of jared doing so because he’s captain…they can be patient and work with that.
AND THEN BROCK HAVING TO HELP QUINN LET HIMSELF BE SCENTED!!! when i read this for the first time i had to get up and walk away from my computer. this made me insane. insane!!!!!! brock suggesting kirill and matt because brock trusts them to be good about it, and quinn—for reasons that are still unclear to brock—trusts him to make that choice and to keep him safe. which is both a huge amount of pressure and a real ego stroke (not that brock would ever admit it, but he’s pretty sure a bunch of the guys can tell).
the resting his head back on brock’s shoulder…….the teeth……….like seriously, anon. feral. insane. i’m feral and insane 🙂!!!!!!!!!!! brock gently reminding him to breathe, that it’s okay, they’ve got him, he’s doing really well, and quinn tries to not let instinct override his rational brain about it, tries to—trust them, and to remind himself that they’re trying to do this for him, so that he doesn’t get sick, and that they’re getting something out of it too. it’s not a weird power dynamics thing, they’re trying to take care of him. and he needs to try to let them do it. even if, the whole time, he needs to dig his fingers into brock’s arm around his stomach, hard enough that he’s sure there will be bruises—not that brock complains.
and it works!! exposure therapy is real 🙂↕️ and it must make them feel so good that he trusts them, and so proud that he was willing to try and push through how much he clearly hated that vulnerability. like now every time he tilts his head so casually they have to try not to make a big deal of it or let too much bleed into their scent but like!! holy shit!!!!
and of course it would make sense for him to keep doing it the most with brock—the bond between a man and his d-partner can be something so special—as well as with matt, who’s usually also on the ice with them, and kirill, who lives in his apartment building and visits invites himself over a lot
AND THE BRUISES!!!!! THE TEETH!!!!!!!!!!! ALL OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’M FERAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
