Tim/Kon being a peak ship except every few days they realize they’re acting too much like Bruce and Clark and have to ditch the relationship until they can look at each other again without flinching.

Have you thought about writing fics in sentinel and guide AU? Where they can have their own spirit animal as well and connected in the mind and like feel each other and like- so much more :000
I just did a quick search, and I’m shocked that there are only a handful of sentinel/guide fics for DC.
I’ve never written that trope before but I do enjoy reading it. I’ve never heard about the spirit animal thing before though.

[ID: Bruce Wayne and Minhkhoa Khan fighting in the snow. Minhkhoa kicks Bruce in the chest as his dialogue has been edited to be a post by @/electrificata. The post reads: “i am NOT gaslighting you. i am lying to you. gaslighting implies a level of effort that i am simply not putting in. deceiving you does not require much”. END ID]

I want to start writing fanfiction and have so many ideas, but the moment I sit down to write I am overwhelmed by a wave of self-consciousness lol. I have not done any creative writing of any kind for almost a decade now.
Is that familiar to you? Any advice on how to get over myself?? Literally no one but me can see it yet and and I still feel embarassed :')
Self consciousness/embarrassment can be such a tricky mental hurdle. I usually ask myself, are there people I respect or look up to who do this? And do I judge THEM for doing this? The answer is almost never “yes.”
So why am I being so harsh to myself? Would I tell my good friend not to write a/b/o because it’s cringe? Would I message my writing buddy and tell them they should feel bad for writing 10k of super fluffy self indulgent soulmates? Hell no!
It’s the internet, and we’re largely anonymous on ao3/tumblr. No one is going to show up at your house to judge you. The only person who even has the right to do so is YOU. And what use is putting yourself down for something no one else can even see?
Write the thing. Acknowledge the shame or guilt or embarrassment and try to figure out why it’s coming up, but don’t let it make decisions for you. If you’re opening the doc, if you have the ideas bouncing around you head, then clearly a part of you wants to do this! And that’s not a bad thing at all.

In your universe, if a female¡Alpha and a male¡Omega were together as a couple and decided they wanted a child... Who would bear the child? The female Alpha or the omega?
In my universe only omegas could ever carry pups! So the female alpha would sire and the male omega would carry.

oooohhh now I need to know more about bond sickness like would it be different for a child like bruce than a kinda partner like alfred? like aside from the fact that they're omega and beta? i love your portrayal of this with grown up bruce and jason, and would love to read more of your thoughts on this... Also... probably not at all related but would LOVE to read your thoughts on this for alphas as well, like the whole grief process for an Alpha like Clark after pa kent died for example, like is the scent as obvious and kinda repulsive as it was with bruce after jason?
Definitely different! Losing a parent-pup bond is different than a romantic/partner bond. Alfred also lost his Pack Alpha and Pack Omega in one fell swoop, which doubles his pain. Bruce was still a pup, and losing his parent bond was absolutely awful, but I think Alfred probably had a worse time as an adult beta. He had no one after that -- at least Bruce had him, someone who was pack and an authority figure.
I think there are some interesting physical and mental symptoms of bond sickness, some of which Alfred could stave off and others he truly couldn't. I'm not sure Bruce would fall into bond sickness since he would still have Alfred, though I'm sure he got close. Maybe that was why Alfred desperately was trying to keep them together in those first initial days and weeks. Trying to keep Bruce alive as his last surviving pack member, you know?
I also think betas are more resilient to bond losses than alphas or omegas. Alfred could survive bond sickness while trying to take care of Bruce, because he had been -- and continues to be -- the center of the pack. The heart, the caretaker. His need to survive to take care of Bruce keeps him alive and present.
For alphas -- yes, they also push out grief like omegas do. Their scents reflect that same kind of misery, where scenting them is a physically uncomfortable thing. I think they're less likely to go into a drop like omegas do sometimes during traumatic events, but it's not impossible. Grieving alphas probably have some different quirks than omegas, but the solution is usually the same -- closeness with pack, rest, time away from other people/non pack.
I will say, I think probably the worst kinds of lost bonds are a parent losing a pup. Especially an omega losing a pup they carried. Second would be a mated alpha/omega bond breaking. Those are most likely to cause bond sickness and drops.

Okay okay but if Alfred was pretending to not be pack so that he could get custody of Bruce but Bruce is a pup who just lost his parents and has this gaping hole when two members of his pack used to be, how would Alfred pretending not to be pack affect him?
Would he feel rejected by Alfred which leads to him suppressing is parental bond that forms with Alfred because to him, he knows Alfred doesn't see him as pack
I think it would be very, very confusing those first few moments. Because Bruce has a pack bond with Alfred already — not as strong as the one with his parents, but damn close. And he was too young to really understand why they could be pack at home but not always outside.
So when he loses his parents’ bonds, Alfred is the only thing he has left. But Alfred can’t show that while they’re in public, can’t comfort him beyond what a normal friend or acquaintance would do. But he still smells and feels like pack to Bruce? Like safety and the last bit of home he still has.
And Alfred has to pull all of that back — his love, his scent, his everything — until they’re home. And I’m sure for a moment, Bruce thought he’d lost all three of them.
I’m a softie so I like to think they reestablish their pack bonds and live happily as a beta and pup until Bruce presents, but I agree the whole thing could and probably did have an effect on how Bruce viewed all bonds.
When Bruce presents omega, denying his pack bond with Alfred was more of a secondary result of him denying his own instincts. By taking suppressants and trying to live without a dynamic, he was (involuntarily?) cutting off Alfred, even if that wasn’t his intention.
And eventually, Alfred could see how much him being visibly beta reminded Bruce of his own dynamic, and he pulled back his own scent and instincts. I’m sure it nearly killed him — that’s why everyone keeps remarking upon how much happier Alfred seems in ASOH, when he can he thoroughly beta again.

hello! I’ve read different omegaverse fics and most of them seem to have different worldbuilding so I was curious about yours. In ASOH, do mated alpha and omega couple’s heats and ruts line up? Also how often do heats and ruts hit? I would also love to know if you have any thoughts on if any of this is different for Kryptonians. I hope you have a great day, I love your writing!
I actually think they start to sync up even before mating. The longer you spend near your alpha/omega, the closer your ruts/heats get to each other. Gradually at first, until they start to overlap and then sync. Mating would automatically cause them to sync, I imagine. And a shock heat/rut could cause a sync if it was strong enough, even while unmated.
In my head, ruts/heats come cyclically around 4-6 times a year. Some people have fewer, some more.
Some things I think are different for Kryptonians: fewer annual heats/ruts (possibly leading to repopulation issues back on Krypton), longer knots during ruts/heats, more likely to experience mini ruts/heats during pregnancy to encourage healthy progression. Just a lot of adaptive instincts and physical changes to try and address fewer pregnancies in the last few generations on Krypton.

Okay but for Alfred getting custody of Bruce, would it help if it was known they were pack? Or would it be too much of a scandal that the Waynes made their butler part of the pack?
I think it would be too much of a scandal. And even if Martha and Thomas didn’t care, Alfred certainly would. Protecting them and their pack means stepping back into the shadows, even if it hurts.
I’m sure legally, as a pack entity, Alfred would quietly assume guardianship of Bruce. But if he was bond sick and grieving too noticeably, they might withhold that guardianship and find another person to take Bruce.
Hence, Alfred has to pretend he’s absolutely fine (if a bit saddened at his employers’ passing) so he doesn’t lose Bruce.
