#beta x alpha

[bloomingnari]

In an Omegaverse world, Tighnari is still the usual epitome of logic and composure he has always being no matter the setting. However, in this wold, his fennec hybrid nature ties him deeply to his most primal, biological side. As a fennechybrid, he is inherently territorial of his partner; as an Alpha, those instincts are amplified to a...bigger degree.

​And that is exactly where the trouble begins. Because you aren't an Alpha or an Omega. You are a Beta.

​And as someone who prides himself on his restraint, managing his instincts around you is an exhausting daily battle. He wants to cover your body with his scent, have your senses recognizing his smell, hold you until you're completely enveloped by him, and constantly lend you his clothes. He does whatever it takes to keep his rosemusk scent on your skin, even though, as a Beta, your body naturally sheds it far too quickly. Yet, against all biological odds, he manages. He is calm and comfortable with that.

​The real crisis arrives when his biology urges him to bond. His inner Alpha keeps asking him to sink his teeth into your neck, to claim you so the whole world knows you two are bonded. However, reality tells him a Beta cannot be marked the way an omega could. A mating bite on you will never form a biological bond; it will only heal into a regular scar.

​So, Tighnari improvises:

He leaves small, deliberate bites along your jawline and the base of your neck whenever he can. They are never deep enough to truly hurt, but noticeable enough for anyone else to see them. For a long time, he firmly believes that this temporary marking is enough.

​Until it isn't.

​The illusion shatters the moment another Alpha, who is unable to smell a permanent bond on you, steps into your space and attempts to court you, because, to the rest of the world, you still smell unclaimed. It is in that single, agonizing second, where Tighnari watches someone else try to touch what his instincts consider his to love, that the logical Forest Watcher he has always been completely vanishes.

​And Tighnari...he believes he has never felt closer to madness than then.

BETA HEADCANONS

(Bc I got “Needy Beta” on the A/B/O Test)

A/N: When I say “male” or “female” Betas, I’m referring to the AGAB—not the gender identity. No disrespect intended! All are welcome here, obv <3

Also the neurodivergent/autism parallels are intentional, as part of the community myself <3

β Betas are the rarest type, rarer than Alphas and Omegas, not because they’re better or worse but because some of society vilified them and now people try to avoid bearing them. Overall, the average person wouldn’t be against Betas, but there’s still a good chunk of the world that has a little prejudice.

β Naturally there’s a little shame culture, in some regions/countries more than others, similar to neurodivergence stigma or something equivalent.

β Much like Omegas and Alphas, Betas produce a scent that is unique to them. Omegas tend to be cloying or sweet, Alphas tend to be muskier or smokier, and Betas tend to be earthier or mildly floral.

β Examples of Beta scents: Green tea, moss, jasmine, rosemary, fig leaf, almonds, a mild pear.

β Alphas have ruts and Omegas have heats, whereas Betas tend to experience something similar to a human woman’s hormonal cycle. In females, of course, this presents as a woman’s menstrual cycle normally would (ie a period). In males, it presents in cramps around reproductive areas and in the thighs, stomach/abdominal, and lower back. Male Betas also experience similar hormonal drops and highs as the female Betas do during these cycles.

β Betas have the same abilities reproductively as normal people do. Female Betas can be impregnated, and Males Betas cannot, etc. Fertility fluctuates the usual amount as well—although male fertility tends to increase during a period in his cycle, just like a female ovulation.

β Betas usually choose to mate with each other. When they choose an Omega or an Alpha as a mate, this is usually because the given partner is on the lower-intensity end of the spectrum for all of the high-maintenance parts of their second gender.

β Betas are the most sensitive to things physically. A better sense of hearing, a better sense of smell (including pheromones), a decreased chance of visual impairment. Their joints might also be looser, which makes them more flexible but also more prone to injury at times. They might be more likely to fall sick or have a chronic illness. They might choose to wear softer clothes, or might be more intolerant to heat or cold.

β Originally, Betas might’ve been hunter-gatherers. In the simplest description, Alphas are “protectors”, “fighters”, and “guards”. Omegas are “caretakers”, “counselors”, and “teachers”. Betas are “explorers”, “students”, and “organizers”. There’s certainly overlap but that’s the simplified version.

β Betas have some variable features of the physical and otherwise. Alphas have fangs or sharp canines, and some Betas do—some do not. Omegas like to nest and such—some Betas do, some Betas do not. Omegas produce lots of slick (male and female)—some Betas do, some Betas do not. It’s harder to distinguish a Beta from appearance or behavior alone, although definitely not impossible.

β The presentation of a Beta is easily identifiable, just like an Alpha or an Omega. Betas typically experience presentation with nosebleeds, migraines, frequent aches and pains, scent presentation, an urge to hyper-fixate or focus on something, an urge to make changes (dye hair, start a hobby, get a pet, etc), being even more sensitive to smell/hearing/touch, desiring to be touched or desiring to avoid touch, and et cetera. A usual way to tell if a presentation is determining a Beta is the skewed ratio between a very low energy level mixed with doings lots of very high energy things.

β Betas have a less dominant genotype than Alphas and Omegas.

If two Betas mate, the offspring is likely to be 95% Beta and 5% something else.

If a Beta and an Alpha mate, it’s 90% an Alpha.

If a Beta and an Omega mate, it’s 90% an Omega.

Purring when your alpha has their dick down your throat so they feel the vibrations and cum faster

Cause I like sharing, have a little sample of a Spinner x OC fanfic I’m writing. It’s an omegaverse fic with Alpha! OC and Beta! Spinner. It’s sappy and cheesy af cause why not

For context, the OC’s name is Jolt, and in this fic she’s an alpha female.

Criticism is welcomed!

Can someone PLEASEEE comment x reader fics where the reader is a beta. Pairing doesn't matter I just need the reader to be a beta!!!

[timsscars]

I feel like Tim and Kon are both betas or Tim’s a beta and Kon’s an alpha

(omegaverse, not podcastverse)
