🌙 lore: heat/rut cycles & pregnancy
cycles
Heats / ruts, or cycles, happen every 3-4 (or 2-3?) months, and last anywhere from 3-5 days. Suppressants (given in pill and patch form) can help ease the symptoms, or stop them completely—though the latter can be dangerous if overused. It’s recommended to have a natural heat / rut every 2 years.
Beta do not experience a cycle. (Or, perhaps, they experience a much more mild form—I haven’t decided.)
Cycles are not inherently sexual. Most cycles are pack-oriented—meant to strengthen pack bonds, not entice sex. However, they can turn sexual, if sex is instigated.
The days leading up to a cycle are referred to as pre-rut or pre-heat. Often the first sign of a pre-cycle is appetite, which can seem to double overnight as the alpha or omega’s body stores necessary calories. They may experience mood swings. Some may also find themselves clinging to someone—this is especially common in younger a’s & o’s; latching on to an older packmate (of any dynamic) to soothe themselves. They’re especially sensitive to rejection from this person. They spend a lot of time prepping their nests, making sure they’re comfortable, and filled with things that make them (and their pack) feel safe. Both stockpile lots of water, and easy to eat foods. Other pack members (or mates, during a fertile cycle) will supply fresher food when they can—usually by heating prepped meals and/or grabbing cut fruit/vegetables.
Pack Ruts increase an alpha's natural desire to protect their pack. They are often restless and aggressive, reacting violently to perceived threats or intruders (save for pups). Unless they feel particularly safe, they will spend a lot of time alert, sometimes even getting up to patrol the area around their nest, though always keeping their pack in sight. When not doing that, they're scenting and nuzzling their pack, ensuring their well-being and reaffirming their claim. They begin producing more, stronger pheromones, causing their scent glands to become swollen and sensitive. Some Alphas become so restless they may refuse sleep or food; body tension / pain from hyper-vigilance; and tension headaches. They spend most of this time deep in their instincts, clingy, extra sensitive to rejections, & at times non-verbal.
Pack Heats increase an omega's natural desire to nurture their pack. They want to surround themselves, and their pack, with soft things and comforting scents—keeping their pack close and covering them in their scent. They're very protective during this time, especially of pups, and can be just as aggressive as alpha to perceived threats or intruders. They begin producing more pheromones, which can make their scent glands swollen and sensitive. Some omegas report cramping, dizziness, and fatigue, to varying severity. Some omegas experience cravings, while others report nausea or just a general lack of hunger/disinterest in eating. They spend most of this time deep in their instincts, clingy, extra sensitive to rejections, & at times non-verbal.
Fertile Ruts, in addition to the symptoms of a pack rut, increase an alpha's sex drive. Their refractory period is lessened considerably, though if their knot is to "catch" (whether in an omega, or by using certain toys) it can ease the symptoms, and allow them to rest a little longer. Their skin and erogenous zones become more sensitive. They become flushed and feverish.
Fertile Heats, in addition to the symptoms of a pack heat, cause an Omega to produce slick. Their skin and erogenous zones become more sensitive. They become flushed and feverish. Their body craves a knot, desiring to be filled. Normally, it takes a lot of prep for them to be able to take one without pain, but that time is lessened during a fertile heat. It takes multiple orgasms to settle them. During heat, they’re also able to bloom. Blooming is very common... in romance novels. However, it only happens when an Omega feels safe, cherished, protected. A bloomed Omega requires almost no prep to take a knot—though it also means that, without protection, a pregnancy is almost certain.
Packless cycles, also referred to as dry cycles are less frequent, as without a pack to make them feel safe, the body doesn’t enter into a cycle. However, they do still happen (unless the alpha or omega is suffering from malnutrition or other complications). They’re very painful, both physically and emotionally.
pregnancy
For economy of language, except when talking about a specific dynamic, parents will be referred to as a "dam" and "sire."
Female alphas, female betas, and both omega sexes are all capable of bearing pups. Both alphas, male betas, and male omegas are all capable of siring pups, though it's quite difficult for an omega.
Most pregnancies only result in one, maybe two pups. However, on rare occasions, a beta or omega may have litters—litters being 3-4 pups.
Pregnancies generally last around 9 months.
Female alphas have a very difficult time getting pregnant, and their pregnancies are often considered high-risk until the sixth month mark, with c-sections being common. They are incapable of having litters.
Betas rarely have litters—usually just twins, at the most, and that’s still rarer than a single birth.
Omegas are the most fertile of the three dynamics, and have the highest chance of having litters. Litters are generally only conceived if an omega feels safe/cherished/protected, and are more likely if an omega blooms during conception.
A dam will begin nesting around month 7 or 8, creating a pup nest within the pack or parent's nest. A pup nest is a smaller nest or burrow, meant to keep the pup safe & warm—protected from any nestmates rolling into them, and hidden from prying eyes.

In a world where drow's reproduction works much like seahorses does, Caleb and Essek decide to expand their family.

Tumblr media
And two recs for the following:
you can have my absence of faith by Anonymous (87745, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: Dubcon/Consensual Non Consent, Male Pregnancy, Oviposition
Caleb helps Essek play out a fantasy of being chased by a Drider and carrying it's clutch
Reccer 1 says: I love the dual role that Caleb plays of both the Drider and the helpful stranger! The unusual domesticity is super interesting. Essek bratting drider!Caleb is both funny and hot Reccer 2 says: The brutal, ugly, sometimes over-the-top fantastical monsterfucking scenes for Essek/demon!Caleb and the sweet cottage domesticity of scenes for Essek/farmer!Caleb work together to create an odyssey of kink that ebbs and flows in intensity. IMO it's just the right amount of weird, with a surprising amount of feels for nearly 90k of porn w/o too much plot. Even some character arcs get resolved.

i'm writing my first omegaverse, and i wanted to ask abt the diff between an unclaimed and unmated omega, and if these omegas can go into heat when an alpha they like gets jealous of them spending time with someone else :)
Great question! I actually have a post or two about the difference between unmated and unclaimed omegas and what an unclaimed omega's heat is like.
It depends on the stability of the omega's heat cycle. Usually it's twice a year/every 6 months-ish. This pattern can be destabilized based on the omega's mental and physical stability.
I'm getting off track a bit though. I don't think they'd go into heat because their alpha was jealous. If their alpha does something extra spicy and the omega had claimed them then it's possible the alpha jump-starts their heat. But it wouldn't happen based on the situation alone.
I think you could get a fun story out of it!

Every time I'm on my period I think up of some insane replacements for literally bleeding straight for days and EVERY MONTH TOO like tell me why we couldn't borrow the heat concept from the omegaverse. That is literally so practical. Human males get nothing no ruts stfu but like females just get days full of being hella horny and everyone is sympathetic towards you instead of judgy bc it's literally a part of life it's how you're all born so like. Win-win. Literally so many options and we're stuck w something horrendous and totally not worth it.

PART 2 The predator grounds (Jim Hopper)
Alpha!werewolf!Jim hopper x omega!human!reader
Warnings: ABO, heats, ruts, sexual, smut, rough, monster fudging, age gap, hurt/comfort, swearing, angst, weird Vecna, takes place in the upside down
Last part <-
Tumblr media
You’re not sure how much time had past, but you’re certain things were getting worse. Your stomach hurt so much, it made your hips down to your legs ache, your back felt like a truck ran over you and your head pounded. Between your legs was too hot and wet, but you didn’t want to move from your curled up position. You’re unsure if Hopper had moved, or if he even cared. He would’ve helped? Stupid, he offered help and made it worse!
You would cry for a while then stop, then think of something and continue, it was a constant loop, you fell asleep couple of times too before pain woke you up. You don’t remember this much pain, just the want, the need. That was present too, just your pain was worse. You jolted when the door was knocked down and an angry wolf stood outside. You gulped knowing it was Hopper by his scent and looks. You didn’t bother moving, too weak too. He was panting and snarling at the same time before he moved. It was strange to see a werewolf, their front paws were more human like, their legs longer, body’s more wider, their back paws longer and feet like too, but their face was very much wolf like, a little shorter on the snout maybe but still deadly when pissed. Hopper moved over you and laid down beside you, curling his body around you. You shuddered and turned instantly, snuggling into the fur. The wolf growled lowly, almost like a purr. You were thankful that he at least decided to help, though you’d much prefer his human form right now. You were still in pain though, gods a massage sounded like heaven right now. Hopper groaned beside you, body cracking and reshaping before he stood on all fours in human form. You flushed turning over quickly with a whimper and handing him your jumper. You heard his sharp intake of breath and flushed furiously.
“Where does it hurt?” He asked voice still rough.
“Everywhere” you mumbled and he chuckled softly.
“Be more specific princess” he said softly.
“My back, hips, stomach and legs” you listed and he grunted in response.
“Can you lie on your stomach?” He asked and you grumbled but moved slowly.
“Good girl” he muttered and you shivered. His hands were warm and so inviting as he began to gently knead your back. You groaned softly relaxing instantly under the alphas touch.
“Good?” He asked and you moaned in response. You flushed covering your mouth, but he chuckled. The pain was lessening, the need though was pressing more. You didn’t recognise your voice when you begged out a please, the alpha stilling beside you. You froze also rational side of your brain trying to over power the heat drunk side. The drunk side won as you sat up and knelt in front of him. He sat with his legs crossed, your jumper covering him. You whined softly climbing into his space. He didn’t dare move as you finally sat in his lap. He had moved his legs straight ahead of him, so your knees rested by his hips. You rested your hands on his shoulders, fingers tracing the scars. He looked ashamed for a minute making you lean down and kiss them. You weren’t thinking straight at all, thoughts fine to one soul one, alpha.
Your lips moved to his neck where his scent glands were. You sucked on them, teeth scraping gently before he grabbed your chin roughly. He held you in place eyes almost black as he panted. You only whined as he struggled with control, his grip loosening. He let his hand drop on your thigh hanging his head. He chuckled dryly and you frowned.
“This is not right” he stated and your heart clenched.
“Why?” You asked, seemed perfectly perfect to you, despite the whole situation, you were where you’ve always wanted to be.
“I’m your dads age kid” he sighed looking to you again.
“I know” you mumbled.
“I’ve had a mate, a pup” he said sadly.
“I know” you repeated.
“Old, used and abused” he shrugged smiling dryly. You saddened body sagging.
“You know we knew we weren’t meant for each other” he muttered and you frowned as he stared at the floor.
“Just lonely maybe, seeking connection” his words were quiet.
“Then Sara passed and she felt the need to leave, I don’t blame her” you felt tears in your eyes as he spoke.
“Then you showed up” he said and you frowned.
“Pretty thing fresh outta collage or whatever moving with your mom for a new life” you felt warmth spread through you.
“You suddenly found every possible way to be by my side even though I avoided you like the plague” he chuckled lightly. You smiled, he did avoid you, you often sought him out though didn’t make it obvious to be with him, when you got caught up in the whole thing seems things just brought you together more and more.
“Then you went missing” his words darkened. Like Will, you had been taken, you hadn’t heard much of what happened while you were gone, but according to Eleven, Hopper went on a rampage.
“And I swore to god I’d kill that mindflayer, bring it back and kill it again” he stated and you giggled softly.
“I always held on too tight when you hugged me” he muttered.
“Not tight enough” you corrected and he lifted his head too look at you again.
“What happened to the needy omega?” He chuckled and you flushed furiously getting ready to scramble off his lap.
“I haven’t had a heat in 10 years maybe, it’s difficult, I-“ you struggled with words till hands rested on your hips.
“It’s ok” he said smiling and you sagged again. You tucked your head under his chin, he wouldn’t fulfil all your needs so you took what you could.
He was warm, a little too warm against your over heated body, you were panting slightly, trying to think straight again, he had great control.
You felt his nose press against your neck your whole body shuddering at the feeling.
���God Damnit” he muttered.

At what age do heats and ruts occur ????
In my verse it's a puberty thing. So like between the ages of 13 and 16. Give or take one year or two depending on the person.
Some people are uncomfortable with this headcanon though and choose to make it a 18+ occurance only. That's fine. Each verse to its own.

Heats
Overview:
Heats behave somewhat similarly to periods, though they happen less. Three times a year, an omega, regardless of primary gender, will go into a heat. 
Heats usually last a week, sometimes more, sometimes less, and are periods of time where an omega will experience discomfort, fever, and an increased libido. There are more to heats than that, but that’s a heat at its most basic. 
Depending on ages and situations, heats can behave differently. 
Normally: 
When an omega has a normal heat, after they’ve presented but before they’ve had any pups, their heat will last about a week. During that week, they will experience discomfort, somewhat like period cramps turned up to eleven, fever, dehydration, a decrease in appetite, and an increase in libido. 
If an omega goes through a heat by themselves, it’s smart to have someone check in on them every few days. Trusted beta and fellow omega friends are good options, as they can make sure the omega has eaten and drank without being very affected by heat pheromones. While most omegas can keep their heads enough to keep themselves fed and hydrated, it’s still good to check, especially if, out of heat, the omega already has a habit of forgetting to eat. 
Omegas are aware during heats, but things are just somewhat fuzzy. They’re mostly aware of their surroundings and what’s going on, but little details get lost on them. Still, one should always get consent before a heat to spend the heat with an omega. They still could, theoretically, consent in heat, but the idea of spending it with anyone can be so appealing in the moment, they’ll forget any reservations they might have. They may say yes in the moment, but hugely regret it afterwards. 
Normal omega heats, while somewhat miserable, aren’t really all that eventful. If they can remember, cool showers are recommended to help bring the fever down. 
Omegas will also produce much more slick than they would out of heat. Their fertility will become higher. 
If an omega is mated or is spending their heat with someone else, the heat will generally be more pleasant. The discomfort will ease with someone else there, though the fever will remain, as well as dehydration. 
An omega in heat will crave a knot, even if their partner cannot provide one themselves. Omegas with a beta or other omega partner will usually use toys with fake knots added. 
Intercourse during a heat is different for every omega. Every omega will crave a different way of doing it. Some may be too sensitive to take a knot or be penetrated, and want to be held more than anything else. Some may want more gentle love. Others might prefer it to be rougher during heat. 
Pregnancy/after birth: 
Like a period, an omega cannot have a heat while pregnant. If an omega experiences symptoms of a heat while pregnant, it can be a sign of something being seriously wrong, and they should seek medical attention right away. 
After an omega has given birth, they won’t have a normal heat for two-three years afterwards. They will still go through something called a heat, but it doesn’t behave the same way. 
Heats after a pregnancy and birth don’t have the same affect as a normal one. There is little discomfort, little fever, little dehydration, and no increase in libido. This is because the body is still healing from what it went through with pregnancy and birth. Instead, the heat will mostly be the omega parent getting extremely clingy with their pup(s). 
The omega parent will hold and keep their pup(s) in the nest for mostly the entire week. Going to the bathroom is really the only time either will leave, and even then they will still stay quite close. The pup(s) may have toys to entertain themselves, but it will only be plushies and soft toys, no hard plastics or metals. 
These heats happen to help establish and keep a bond between the pup(s) and their omega parent. It ensures that the pup(s) know their omega parents scent, and it gets that scent on the pup(s). It also reassures the parent that their pup(s) is okay, safe, and healthy. 
The other parent will usually join in on the week long cuddle session, but they will be the ones responsible for getting food and water into both the pup(s) and their mate. 
If an omega had multiple children at different times, resulting in the children having different ages, whenever said omega has another heat like this, where they just want their pups, the older will also be forced to cuddle. While the heat happens for the newborn and parents benefit, it will also cause distress to the omega if all children aren’t there. If an omega had a five year old and a newborn, the five year old will also have to join the cuddles and nest with the newborn. 
If the older pup were to move out before this heat, and their scent has largely left the home, the omega won’t need the older there. However, if the older left recently before the heat, and the scent is still there, the older will have to come back home. A similar case happens with omegas who’s older dies, though with a sadder outcome. If the pup died a long time ago, and their scent was gone, the omega would be fine. If it was recent, however, and the deceased's scent was still around, the omega would be put through unbelievable distress. Those situations result in the week long cuddle fest being filled with crying and mourning. 
These types of heats will happen for about two years, after which the heats will slowly return to normal. 
Presenting heats: 
When a pup presents as an omega, they will go through a heat, though this heat will not be like a normal one. A presenting heat will include much more discomfort and pain than a normal one, to such a degree that any affect a presenting heat would have the libido, which is already nonexistent and rare to experience, the pain would cancel it out. 
Instead, presenting heats are a time full of discomfort, where the pup will usually go to a trusted family member for comfort. There is nothing sexual about a presenting heat at all. The heat is meant for the pups scent to change to show their dynamic, as well as start preparing their bodies for what they’ll go through as they grow. 
Traditionally, a pup would spend the heat with their omega parent, if they had one, in their nest. In more modern times, these heats are also usually spent with the other parent present as well, offering extra comfort to the pup. 
Stress heats: 
Stress heats can be caused for multiple reasons. An omega could be so stressed their heat happens later or earlier than it’s supposed to. A stress heat could also result in a heat suddenly springing on an omega, with little to no preamble, though that usually occurs when there are alphas putting the omega in the stressful situation, and the heat is an attempt to diffuse the situation. 
The other usual stress heat is if something happened to the omegas pup. Whether theirs through blood or not, if a pup an omega cares about goes missing or goes through a near death experience, the omega has a chance of dropping into a heat. Unlike the other stress heats, though, heats caused by this type of stress don’t result in normal heats. Instead, the heat they go through will be like the heats an omega has after giving birth. The omega will simply cuddle and coddle the pup who went through the dangerous experience, assuring themself that their pup is safe. Any others in the pack will also likely join in on the cuddles, both to assure the pups safety, and to help keep the omega and pup both calm. 
Medication: 
There are heat suppressants an omega can use. These suppressants can help an omega chose when their heat will happen, somewhat like how birth control can help you control when a period happens. 
It’s unhealthy for an omega to simply skip heats, but it’s not unheard of.

Omegas dealing with trauma anon back to answer your question about inducing heat: in my story it's a medicine. In historical stories (like mine) it's usually a herbal tea. In modern it's probably a pill that needs to be prescribed. Possibly an injection is also available, but is much stronger and immediate (suppressing heats is fine, just like being on birth control, but not getting them NORMALLY is a problem. Linked to all kinds of health problems. Especially since, at least in my story, heats are not only important for reproductive health but mental health as well since heats are times when Omegas relax and are supposed to be taken care of by their pack. There is a bit of physical discomfort, but other than that they have nothing to concern themselves with, and can simply focus on their body being prepared for possible pregnancy)
More on omega's and their physiological trauma responses -
thanks anon!
