Chapter Text
Some brief notes about the fanfic –
- Omegas are intersex, male and female both, they can reproduce as they both possess wombs (I’ll shut up now because I don’t know much about the intersex body)
- Alfio and Luciano’s relationship is already a little taboo (to those who know Alf’s an Omega because its seen as ‘improper’ because they aren’t courting),
- also also the events of the fanfic are in no way societally okay for a traditional Alpha, Luciano/Othello is literally risking being disowned and disinherited by his family who are well off, the reason that’s not really shown in the fic is because its mainly from Alfio/Iago’s PoV and we all know, he wouldn’t really give two fucks about societal opinion, plus his family are not Trad or involved in his life and therefore don’t really care what he does (Emilia aside)
---------------------------------- The above will make sense after reading the actual one shot------------- ------------------------------------------
- Modern-Traditional: This ‘preference’ fluctuates based on partners, although most mod-trads are not informed on the courtship rituals of the trads and are often looked down on by upper class trad Alphas.
- Modern: The most common type of label, modern Alpha/Beta/Omegas don't conform to the old gender roles for example, two Alphas may mate happily whereas Alpha/Alpha relationships used to be taboo, Alphas can also be submissive and Omega's can be dominant.
- Clothing for both genders is also ambiguous and each gender can dress how they wish, collars and bites are rare but sometimes an occurrence.
- Traditional: The rarest type of label but common within nobility/upper classes, Alphas are dominant and protective and Omega's are submissive and comforting, Omega's of this type also like to be treated softly and typically wish to bear pups for their Alpha as soon as they are mated.
- Omegas and Alphas in this category cater to their instincts and Omega's may like to be collared and/or given mating bites, Betas can be traditional but they have less impressive mating prospects.
- There are strict rules for relationships between Alphas and Omegas and there are many factors which can affect A/O courtship.
- Extra: it is entirely possible for Alphas/Omega's/Betas to repress their true identity due to family tradition/opinions or fear of being controlled.
- Courtships: a kind of A/B/O premating, often only applicable to traditional couples (they also tend to be really fast)
- I think I'd be a mod-trad Omega, feel free to let me know what you'd be in the comments :)
