*whispers* can you explain omega verse? Bc i literally have no idea what it means, or where it came from, but it shows up in A LOT of sherlolly fics...
Let me break it down to you, nonny. The omega!verse is something that got in with the Sherlock fandom (might be wrong). I’ve seen some other fandoms do it, but it’s mostly this particular fandom. Anyway it’s based on wolves. You’re going 'whaaat?' in the background I'm sure. Alpha's are the dominant ones, which you can look up in a dictionary as well. It's like the expression the 'typical alpha-male'.
If you know what Teen Wolf is there are Alpha’s who are leaders, and then there are omega’s who are under the alpha’s, taking orders. Still got you? Okay, cool. Anyway, fan-fiction sexed up the simple concept by giving it to human characters. Let’s set the scene - Sherlock being an alpha can’t resist his urges and if Molly the omega suddenly is in heat (her body sending out a cocktail of pheromones that make her irresistible and very very horny), then they’re bound to do it (a loooot). Of course that’s a very ‘simple’ version of what actually goes down. Here’s more information about the sexual bit and bobs. When omega-verse is done right, it’s all rainbows and glitter tossed about, so if I’ve not scared you here’s some suggestions (my two absolute faves, hands down, I bow to your excellency).
