#pack dynamics

A lot of us have brought up like the Justice League wanting to be pack with Bruce or being concerned about him and his situation with the batfam.

I loooove Clark because he absolutely came from a healthy pack with the Kents but you know who of the Trinity would actually have the most to say about the entire issue?

Diana.

Because like.... she grew up on a secluded Island of Amazons. She's the princess! Her mother is very protective of her and Themiscyra as a whole. Hippolyta would have scented Diana regularly. Diana would have been highly adored by her "sisters". Can you imagine those pack nests?!

Even with it being an island of just women there would have been a diversity of designations (Alpha, Beta, Omega, and even the rare combos like an Alphamega or some shit idk).

Anyway I think the Amazons are one massive pack on a shared territory so like.... for her, the Justice League being another pack is like??? A natural progression of everything they have been through together. So obviously she would care deeply for Bruce be it platonic or otherwise. And to know that he's packless despite the amount of pups he raised and the regard she has for him I think would set off so many alarm bells in her mind. I think she intuitively would know something is very, very wrong here.

And I don't like the alternate mean Dianas so this is Miss Compassion. A real gem of a hero who is quite empathetic. But also she's from a different culture so in her mind the solution is probably simple and she doesnt know why it has complicated for him.

"But why?"

"You should be scented! Its good for your health?"

"What are you suffering for? Im right here."

"Then I'll just be your pack now!"

"Why not???"

"You are sick. You will die. I have a sash if you need my scent for your nest?"

"But we need to know when you will be in heat so we can see to your needs."

"WHAT IN HERA'S NAME DO YOU MEAN YOU GO THROUGH ALL OF THIS ALONE?!"

"Oh, Bruce...🥺🫂"

The information in the books is damn unclear and it would not be right to go ask for help from disciples or brothels, so he just... Well, he knows that Shang Qinghua is a spy for the demons, and he knows that Mobei Jun is an Omega for his meta knowledge. So he decides to go and threaten Shang Qinghua's ass with exposing him with the other Peak Lords for treason unless he allows him to have private meetings with Mobei Jun.

(At some point, they both reveal themselves as transmigrants? Yes. But not at the beginning for more drama lol Shang Qinghua racking his brains over what the hell Shen Qingqiu the scum villain and HIS KING will talk about in private- )

So, in private meetings with Mobei Jun, Shen Qingqiu humiliates himself with a half-truth: he tells him that I had never experienced anything like omega (after all, the entire CQMS thinks Shen Qingqiu is a beta), and now with Without-a-cure he has stopped taking his suppressants because the damage they were doing to his health, so right now he doesn't know how to do omega basic things like nest, purr, scent, pack behavior...

Mobei Jun agrees to teach him all those omega things; in exchange, Shen Qingqiu will give him more information and those things that Shang Qinghua doesn't have access to, since Shen Qingqiu is, well, Peak Lord of the second most important peak. They make a half-hearted and reluctant agreement, but they are on the same page.

And Mobei Jun teaches him. He teaches him how to fix a nest and the different ways he can use it. How apply blankets properly for softness, or comfort, or space, depends on what suits him. Teaches him to scent with the necessary amount of pheromones on people, objects, pack gifts, puppy gifts- It is a different level for each situation, and it is very necessary that it be respected, because otherwise it could give the wrong message!!

It also teaches purring, different growls, the type of reactions these sounds would have in Alphas or other Omegas. Also what kind of fabrics or robes are more comfortable to wear closer to the heat, what herbs to avoid, what kinds of things might not help him, what types of foods to stock up on for those occasions.

There is a lot of monosyllabic talk, a lot of directions and teachings, and Mobei Jun is not really the type to talk a lot, but neither is Shen Qingqiu, so unless necessary, they won't say much that is not so very important. They drink tea (iced) and they always end their secret meetings by scenting their wrists. It's a habit. Mobei Jun's omega scent is clear like ginger-mint and somewhat spicy, but it doesn't smell demonic itself, then it can go unnoticed.

The change in Shen Qingqiu's Omega behavior is noticeable, not only among the now very spoiled puppy disciples, but among the Peak Lords. Mu Qingfang is glad that Shen Qingqiu is finally accepting being part of the pack, scenting them, giving them scented gifts for their own common spaces. Alphas and betas do not necessarily nest, but in their homes they often have things with the aromas of their packs, giving shape to their home.

There is only one notable difference. Mobei Jun, of course, has taught his omega knowledge biased by his demonic family teaching. So, Shen Qingqiu finds himself... biting.

He bites his disciples' cheeks, he bites their little hands when he comes to scent them. It is easier to give them little bites, so they will only laugh or blush.

He bites Liu Qingge's cheek, one day the Alpha gets really close to him sniffing the clear scent of Mobei Jun on him, asking who is. In defense of Shen Qingqiu, he became nervous!!! And Liu Qingge stepped away as if he had been set on fire, walking away like a penguin.

Randomly bites Mu Qingfang's hands when he is checking him out by Without-a-cure, little bites on his fingers, on his knuckles. Mu Qingfang blushes, steps back, and quickly notes down the reactions. Pff. As if it wasn't normal for Omegas to bite and lick their packs!! Now they will tell that Omegas should not court their Alphas by proving they can kill them in a fight only to decide not to! Of course Binghe's harem didn't work like that, but those were female Omegas! He was a male Omega, that would make the difference, wouldn't it?

So, just, Shen Qingqiu is there, gifting his packs with things with his scent, purring when some Alpha around him is stressed, biting hands, wrists, cheeks. He shamelessly sits close to anyone and drenches them with his scent. He's much more tactile with everyone. He makes comfortable public-nesting spaces in gardens where he invites his youngest disciples (and Binghe, because how could he deprive Binghe of those experiences?! The poor boy is always hungry for affection, hugs, pats and bites more than any other disciple) to snuggle with him while purring and playing some music, just as Mobei Jun had explained that Omegas did with their pups so they could relax after long days-

(The other Peak Lords don't know if Shen Qingqiu has gone mad or is trying to court them all. They also don't want to risk asking and ruining whatever's going on.)

(Amidst all this, and instinctively, both Mobei Jun and Shen Qingqiu begin to see and feel like a pack. They give each other scented blankets, their scents are in their respective nests. There are new jewels among Shen Qingqiu's hair accessories, and new necklaces hanging over Mobei Jun's open necklines. They are a pack. Family of some strange and accidentally acquired kind. Even Shen Qingqiu relaxes in Mobei Jun's nest once while waiting for him due to an urgency among the rebellious demons - which almost causes Shang Qinghua to almost have a qi deviation when he sees him, comfortable in his king's nest just reading.)

Y.JEONGIN X M!READER [MASTERLIST]

authors note: yeah i know i said angst but im being a doctor rn okay

summary: jeongin coddles his baby (his very ill baby)

warnings: omegaverse, alpha!yenni, omega!reader, cringey but WHO CARES, pet name galore

wc: 817

kind of a companion piece to the very first post i made on tumblr

ahhhhhhh because the concept of omega!aerion who has sensory issues is dear to my brain, like this bad boy is touch-averse and touch-starved at the same time, he's had rotten sleep ever since they left the red keep and his own comfy bed/nest, the food's not great, things smell weird, the wind blows differently, everything's just off and awful all the way around.

also the concept of alpha!dunk not even consciously figuring out what's going on, he just knows that wrapping aerion up in his arms calms the omega somehow. there's always that token fighting, aerion testing dunk's hold on him, but then every time dunk's letting go of him or loosening his grip out of worry, aerion's hissing and snarling at him and pulling dunk's arms around him tighter.

eventually they just decide together that aerion using claws and drawing blood was a good enough marker of him actually being uncomfortable. otherwise, he can wiggle and squirm and kick all he likes, but dunk's just gonna readjust his grip and just keep holding aerion. guy's pretty much a giant weighted blanket. shares the prince's tent each night, but the guards posted outside report there's nothing untoward happening between the alpha and the omega inside.

maekar, of course, is losing his mind at the sheer impropriety of it all but then again, aerion's not threatening to hurt or maim or kill people, so a win is a win, even if he's not happy that his second son is practically attached to a hedge knight.

say lyonel invites dunk to his own private tent, but aerion comes along too cause he's not losing his support alpha. the instinctive posturing is almost instant, only it's an alpha and an omega scrapping over another alpha in growls and snarls, and lyonel is the one who snaps out of it first when he realizes that he's acting almost feral and possessive for no reason? and lyonel looks away first, freezes, and starts swearing up and down and sideways as aerion takes on a very smug look on his face, leaning back into dunk as he watches lyonel come to the realization that he essentially "lost" the fight.

dunk is oblivious to this fight going on, he only knew that both lyonel's and aerion's scents were getting pretty strong - not rotten strong, like aerion's got when he was upset, only strong, then lyonel's tapered off and aerion's smelled of great contentment. the scent of woods and ozone and rain gets undercut by mountain creek, orchards at harvest, well-kept furs in storage. but somehow the scents work together.

i haven't figured out what dunk's scent is yet. rich earth, wool/lanolin, sun-warmed grass? sure, why not.

and lyonel is a little at odds, a little confused as to what exactly he's meant to do with dunk and aerion attached to each other. maybe lyonel has an old hawking glove he doesn't use anymore, and his thing is just letting aerion bite at his hand in the glove - doesn't hurt him, it's more pressure than anything, but aerion gets that biting instinct out of the way.

anyway, point being, dunkaerion will run into alpha!tanselle next, the puppet-destroying and finger-breaking didn't happen, but aerion again feels threatened, again the feral challenge that tanselle didn't expect, but she backs down once aerion starts smelling distressed and then angry at the distress. her thing with aerion becomes playing with his hair, scratching his scalp, etc.

essentially aerion's accidentally collected a pg/pg-13 harem of alphas to meet his touch-starved/sensory needs, only they have to be precise-ish about how they're touching him otherwise he's gonna riot. now, adding daeron and valarr might edge close to rampant misunderstandings, but then again, everything is platonic except for the dunkaerion pairing, so let's roll.

with daeron, he knows that aerion liked having his tummy gently rubbed/massaged when he was little. even in the cradle, when aerion was a fussy baby and dyanna wasn't readily available, daeron could soothe him by rubbing his little tummy and singing to him. so if daeron somehow happens upon this "calm the feral omega down" campaign that's going on, he tries rubbing aerion's belly again. takes a little hissing and snarling before daeron figures out the pressure aerion likes, and then daeron's able to soothe aerion faster than just about everyone aside from dunk, and then it's a close second. aerion fights dunk to get comfortable. daeron just needs to figure out the right amount of pressure, and aerion's scent goes sweet and easy.

but yeah! aerion's well taken care of during his heat, and this is the first heat he's had where he's not absolutely miserable. he can't (or shouldn't) go out into the tourney while in heat, but if he does, then he's not going to be killing horses. i think that he's electing to stay out of the tourney this time, since all this proper attention is really very nice. his mind's quiet for the first time, he's not in aches and pains and hurting in a hundred different spots for the first time, and that must feel like euphoria to him, so nah, aerion's not giving up being petted and coddled for a tourney.

and since it's not like everyone's gotta be giving the omega all the attention all the time, lyonel and dunk and daeron can go off to do tourney things. but that just leaves aerion with tanselle, who's still got her puppet shows to run, unless he's actually sleeping deeply for the first time by himself, napping in his tent that now smells of all the alphas and him. mostly him. but enough of the other alphas to be comforting, as well as their contributions to his makeshift nest.

mind you, aerion's still a little feral even if he is feeling better, and that's not likely to stop. the base instincts might just run a little deeper with him, maybe the explanation is that the ancient ones are made known a little clearer through someone like aerion, the old ways, the forgotten ways. in which case, the "harem" is more of a pack, like the olden days.

let's talk about egg! again, in this au, aerion didn't go sneaking into egg's room to be weird and gross. he wasn't nice to egg, per se, but he wasn't that level of messed up. and really, by the time aerion's heats hit, he was just miserable and snappy at everyone all the time. now that he's got proper attention and treatment, though, aerion's sweeter to egg, maybe a little more warm, that's a pup there, that's a little guy, and a pleased omega isn't likely to lash out at pups.

all egg really knows is that aerion used to yell and throw things, and while none of it was really at egg, egg tended to bear witness and that's pretty bad. but now aerion's actually happy to see him? and is making those soft chuffing, chirping noises that dyanna used to make that egg barely remembers. and aerion's scent isn't rotten-sour-decaying, it's actually fresh and rich and content. so it might take a little while for egg to get used to the concept of aerion not losing his temper every time the wind shifts, but all the combined scents in aerion's tent might be comfy, and aerion's whispering apologies while patting the air around egg's head, not wanting to touch him and scare him.

at some point, dunk might come back to the tent to see egg cuddled up with aerion and they're both napping in aerion's nest. there's something soft and tender in dunk's chest that aches a little seeing this, and he just covers them up with a cloak or two (his and daeron's, so they're familiar scents) before leaving.

[ Description: Brendon Park. The notorious "shark of orthopedics" was doing good in life on the outside. He was married to a beautiful woman, they have three beautiful children together, they have a dog, he bought a house in the suburbs.

His children, the two old enough to attend school, only went to the best with tutoring afterwards. He met with his father once a week, had lunch with his mother, made appearances when required.

He was a good neighbor, never too loud, never involved in drama, never even got a notice from the HOA. His career was thriving, he was one of the best orthopedic surgeon's in the area, he wrote academic and research papers, articles.

The only public problem be had, was his lack of a personal chef, which is where beta reader comes in.

A young woman out of culinarily school who grew up on strict homemade/handmade recipes. You came barreling into Brendon Parks life with flour smeared on your cheeks, and a scent too sweet for your own good. ]

Pairing: Alpha Brendon "The Shark" Park x Beta female reader

Note: I wanted to write Brendon Park with a non-healthcare worker, since my other three stories are all Brendon x healthcare worker. Since I like turning everything into omegaverse here is, once again, a Brendon “The Shark” Park x Beta Reader.

I honestly have no idea if I’m going to turn this into a mini-series, right now it’s just a cute little idea so enjoy!

This is not apart of: THEY COME IN A PAIR, DO NOT SEPARATE! mini-series, APPROVAL mini-series, or STICKS OF BONES mini-series.

Will be posted on this tumblr account and my AO3 account: thewriters64 NOWHERE else.

Beta reader: Who comes from a huge family, and I mean a huge family. The type of family who lives in a family compound and everyone helps raise each other's pups. You consider your aunts, uncles and grandparents as parents just as much as your own parents. It takes a village right?

Beta reader: who was taught proper etiquette and pack hierarchy, and becomes confused when she sees others outside of her family not behave the way she was raised. She's a little sheltered.

Beta reader: who is hard of hearing and has to wear hearing aids, the type that wrap behind her ear to make them more noticeable.

Beta reader: who loves cooking, even when she was a pup and couldn't talk, she stood on a stool stirring. There are pictures all throughout her parents den...

Beta reader: who is mistaken for an omega by Brendon and gently corrects him, sensing his disbelief, she shows him her medical report that states her second designation.

Beta reader: who meets Brendon's wife and pups, immediately clicking with the pups. Which, is also not an easy thing to do considering how rambunctious they are.

Beta reader: who unknowingly becomes one of Brendon's first honest friend, not some colleague, or someone who only became his friend after he made a name for himself.
