omegaverse

A fictional alternate universe in which humanity has a dominance hierarchy based on stereotypical wolf pack dynamics, consisting of alphas (dominants), omegas (submissives), and betas (neutrals).

Still, just as important as the kinky aspects of the omegaverse are the emotional ones: the forcefulness of heat cycles and impulsive desire, the inevitability of imprinting and bonds, the joys and horrors of mpreg.

A subgenre of erotic speculative fiction set in this fictional universe.

What omegaverse fanfiction does is to construct imaginary bodies and societies based on premises drawn from the discourses that surround sex and gender, and imagine what situations would arise if those premises were embodied and experienced by a familiar pop-cultural figure.

It may be worth considering if dark Omegaverse slash fiction, with its descriptions of excruciatingly detailed and shocking sexual fantasies, is a reflection of the social reality both fan fiction authors and readers have experienced within an unequal and discriminatory patriarchal society.
