Nesting for Omegas

•A Nest is a space an Omega keeps for their heats especially but also for a calming, comfortable space all their own

•No one is to enter that space without express permission from the Omega in question-permission is needed every time you enter unless you’re the Omegas Alpha and you know you’re wanted there-permission will still be needed for an Alpha if the Omega is upset with them

•When an Omega builds a nest they zone out and focus on their task, it is nearly impossible to get their attention and if you do you’ll wish you hadn’t, Omegas don’t take kindly to being distracted while building their nest {Disrupt at your own Risk}

•Do Not wear your shoes into an Omegas nest!

•Young Omegas will always have a nest of their own but when with friends or family outside their home, like at a sleep over, they will often make a nest for them and their friends to sleep in. Alphas and Betas are taught not to intrude on a nest that’s not their Omegas but in this case it’s a community nest, though the Omega will still be particular about how it’s built, often changing little things about how they buid their own nest so it’s not too similar, not wanting people to know what their nest looks like

•Many Betas and Alphas try to build nests when they’re children, wanting the comfort, especially once they’ve experienced a friends nest or been into their parents if they have an Omega parent, though it’s a behavior that doesn’t stick around long very often-only the occasional Beta will continue this practice and it will be different than that of an Omegas

(——However when an Alpha has been put on suppressants too young (usually before presenting) they will often display Omega-like behaviors and one of those is nesting. This action becomes just as if not more important to the Alpha as they grow-especially depending on their situation)

•An Omega will usually build their nest in a small space with surrounding walls, like a nook. Many young Omegas will build their nests in their closet when they’re new to it and instinctually try to hide it from people

•Many Omegas hang curtains around their nests to make them feel safer and less exposed, another reason younger Omegas nest in their closets so often. It makes them feel less vulnerable

•Typical nesting materials include

Comforters. Pillows. Body pillows. Sheets. Fleece throws. Stuffed animals. Mates clothes, or clothes of an Alpha they like that they’ve stolen to make their nest smell like them. -Young Omegas will quite often steal shirts from their Alpha fathers to put in their nest as in their youth it has only ever been a safe and wonderful/comforting smell that often helps them relax and sleep (to the small Omega ‘Alpha Scent’ just smells like Daddy and Daddy is safe-this wears off around puberty and sometimes even earlier) Many use faux fur as part of their nest, the feel of animal fur being instinctually comforting to an Omega as it was one of the only things Omegas had to use hundreds of years ago

•Candles will typically be placed around a nest or incense holders as well as lights, fairy lights often being things Omegas like hanging over their nests as they’re not overly bright and blinding, they offer a dim light that’s just enough without being too much, just enough to be comforting so Christmas lights are often perfect

•Nearly all Omegas will have a cache of snacks. Some have a mini fridge near by with things in it but most will have a box hidden in a corner of their nest containing water bottles/Powerade/gatorade since their heats cause intense thirst, it will also contain snacks. Mostly things that are filling and replace their energy during heats such as Trail mix, jerky, gold fish crackers, peanut butter crackers, granola bars, peanuts, pretzels, but they will also have other treats that they enjoy most for when they need them like fruit snacks, cookies, favorite candy bars, chips, pop corn, Rice Krispie treats

•Every single nest is different, because every single Omega is different. Some are extremely neat, some are hectic and messy, some are all matching and beautiful, some are mismatched colors and complex, made on a mattress, layered on a hundred pillows. No 2 nests are the same but they are all comfortable and perfect to each individual Omega

•A quick way to an Omegas heart is a compliment on their nest, they all work very hard to make it perfect and are more self conscious about it than you would expect since it is so personal to them

•If you are lucky enough to be allowed into an Omegas nest count your lucky stars, it is an honor and a privilege and you should never treat it as anything less

✨Omegas ✨

Present early traits in childhood such as loving to play hide and seek, wishing to be chased, playful with young alphas, may exhibit nuzzling or nesting behaviors too!

Into tween years they start having soft heats in which they begin nesting and longing to develop a pack outside of their family pack

Tween omegas may even exhibit stronger heats depending on how early they begin getting their cycles

Teen omegas having their first heats, nesting, seeking out alphas, and potentially making poor decisions in their heats

Teen omegas needing educated on how to handle their heats on their own and heavily discouraged against taking an alpha until they mature

Teen omegas taking part in false courting and even potentially sharing non bonding heats with alphas

Mature omegas 20-30 having their heats become more manageable and less intense. Feeling the strong desire to leave their family pack and start a pack of their own if they haven’t already made a platonic pack of friends in their teen years!

Mature omegas choosing this stage of their life to spend heats with potential mates and properly being courted.

20-30 year old omegas typically bonding around this time in their life with alphas of their choosing

40-50 year old omegas having their cycles slowly become less intense as their body stops trying to mate and breed.

60+ omegas reverting back to softer heats or no heats at all while still nesting as they normally would if they were still having heats.

Elderly omegas still having cycles but heats begin to look less and less intense until heats are only then being extra clingy towards their mate.

Elderly omegas and alphas forgetting everything but the bond between their mate when they get dementia symptoms. Maybe even getting shy or blush around their partner when they are having a bad day and don’t know who they are.

Elderly omegas being protective of their grandkids, being reminded of what it was like to be a young omega.

Bonded pairs dying within days of one another due to the close ties of the bond.

Omegaverse question?

Do omegas go into menopause? Is there a meopause equivalent for alpha ruts? Do they just stop having heats and ruts after a certain age or do they just keep having them?

Do we base heats on wolves and ruts on predatory raptors? That's kind what I've seen mostly.

[spaxi]

Born to nest and just be comfy, forced to deal with unbearable stress :(( wheres a cuddle pile when you need one akskjsksksksk

[arcticaomega]

misce scent question: if i have my scent as an essential oil how can i use that to scent stuff? i was thinking diffuser and maybe a spray bottle with some of it in it for clothes and stuff.

That’s actually pretty close yeah!! For clothes just put a drop or two in the sleeves or collar of your shirts and/or on the tags. That normally makes the scent last a lot longer.

Other than that the diffuser is a good base way to scent but don’t forget that you can put the oil on pieces of cloth and put that in trash cans, drawers, and in pillow cases.

Also mixing the oil with a carrier oil (coconut oil, sweet almond oil, jojoba) can make a great oil perfume to roll on your wrists and other pulse points!

By the fucking way I am meowing at you. I am meowing at you if you even CARE.

[ceps-pers]

🪹Some Nesting Ideas☕

🍵 Cosy snacks & drinks!! That way you don't have to leave the nest for them

🐧 Plushies!! And your mate if you've got one ^^ Having cuddles while I nest is something I deeply enjoy

🏰 Remember blanket forts? They're great as a base for a nest if you want a very safe, cocoony feel!

🍊 Scent stuff! I usually have perfume or essential oils matching my scent that I lightly (or not so lightly sometimes) spray on my nesting materials

✨ You can get a nice book, show or game to play/watch/read while you relax if you don't want to relax doing nothing!

🌿 If you have one of those lamps that project some galaxies or other nice lights, that can be an awesome addition!

[beta-adjacent]

Baby fever is sooooooo omegaverse coded. What do you mean some people just Have this fervent spontaneous desire to raise a family what? You really need a baby inside of you? And that will bring you joy? I’ve been thinking for months (9 actually /j)

[omegaxxanjo]

Signs from early childhood you were an omega:

You liked to play tag but hated being “it”

You liked playing Duck Duck Goose but LOVED being outside the circle

You made little nests when sleepy, sick, or just in general

You were the best at hide and seek

You felt the intense urge to nurture something whether it be a plushie, doll, bug, or even a simple earth worm

No More Hiding

Summary: When accused of stealing chickens from Mr. Sherman’s farm, Steve brings Bucky to investigate but ends up learning more about his friend’s private life. 

Rating: Everyone

Pairing: Alpha Bucky Barnes x Omega Reader

Warnings: None

Word Count: 900+

A/N: Not Beta'd. Some fluff to counter the angst I posted earlier.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

“Rogers, get out here now!”

Steve stalked to the front door, jerking the handle with a huff. This wasn’t the first time someone complained about his pack. Most of the humans were against a pack of wolves living so close to their homes. While the humans bared their guns, Steve opted for peace.

“Mr. Sherman,” Steve greeted. “What can I do for you?”

The old man scowled. “A couple of my chickens are missing. You wouldn’t happen to know anything about that now, would you?”

Steve frowned, crossing his arms across his chest. Mr. Sherman was an old farmer who lived a few miles down the road. A few chickens went missing here and there over the last month and each time Mr. Sherman paid Steve a visit.

“You should invest in a better chicken coop. I already told you; my pack has nothing to do with your chickens going missing.”

The old man took a large step in Steve’s direction, his finger crooked. “Don’t lie to me. I have proof. There’s prints the size of a wolf’s paw all over the coop.”

Steve was stunned. The first time Mr. Sherman complained, Steve called a pack meeting to settle the tension between the pack and farmer. Each of them swore up and down that they hadn’t stepped a foot onto Mr. Sherman’s property. Steve believed them. He had no reason not to. They had everything they needed.

“Don’t look so surprised. I’ll show you and that brute who’s always stealing my game. If you don’t punish the thief, then I’ll have to take matters into my own hands.”

Steve nodded. “I didn’t find anything last time I checked. I’ll bring Bucky by the coop. He’s got the best nose in the pack. If anyone can find the culprit, it’s Bucky.”

Mr. Sherman didn’t spare a word as he turned his back on Steve. His footsteps echoed along the rickety porch steps.

It wasn't much later that Steve confirmed Mr. Sherman was right. The prints in the mud belonged to a wolf. The pack leader examined the paw prints as Bucky looked inside of the chicken coop. Every once in a while, Bucky’s nose would twitch but he never said anything. 

“Well?” Mr. Sherman snapped with his hand on his hips.

Steve pondered if a neighboring pack crossed into their territory. That would cause bigger issues.

Bucky brushed past Steve and the farmer on his way out of the chicken coop. “You’re wrong. Must have been a dog. Do any of your neighbors have one?” Bucky casually asked, his hands tucked into the pockets in his jeans.

Steve raised an eyebrow in Bucky’s direction.

Before Mr. Sherman could answer, Bucky headed into the woods separating the farmer’s land from the pack’s home. Steve apologized to Mr. Sherman, then chased after his friend. 

“You know who it is, don’t you, Buck.” Steve didn’t need a verbal confirmation. The way Bucky’s eyes focused like they did when he hunted, and his nostrils flared told Steve they were tracking someone. Keeping up with Bucky’s large steps, Steve questioned, “Is it one of ours?”

Bucky grunted, occasionally stopping to sniff a leaf or a branch. “Omega.”

Steve furrowed his eyebrows. “How do you know?”

He made a sharp right, plowing branches in his path. “Smaller prints and sweeter scent.”

The prints made sense to Steve, but he hadn’t smelled anything. Steve hung back and observed the way Bucky stormed the woods like a mad man. That's when realization hit him. It was the only explanation for his best friend's behavior. Bucky Barnes found his omega.

When Steve finally caught up to Bucky, he tread carefully. It didn’t matter. Bucky’s scent alone was strong enough to draw the omega’s attention to the pair.

“Alpha?” The omega pushed herself into a sitting position on the porch. The cabin in the woods wasn’t the most luxurious house, but it was theirs.

Bucky dropped to his knees on the steps below his omega to be eye level with her, to be equal. “It’s me ‘mega.” Bucky muttered, his palm enveloping her cheek. Y/N’s eyes fluttered shut as she leaned into his touch. The moment was short lived when Steve cleared his throat. Y/N’s startled eyes locked on Bucky’s. She knew about Bucky’s pack, but he never brought them around. He never brought her to them either. The couple basked in the idea of it being just the two of them for a while.

Bucky asked, “Someone’s been terrorizing poor Mr. Sherman. Stealing his chickens. Do you know anything about that?”

Y/N knew she’d been caught. She also knew which buttons to press to get her way with her alpha. She tucked her chin into her chest and stared back at Bucky with doe eyes. “Of course not, Bucky.” She batted her lashes. 

Containing his laughter, Bucky plucked a feather from Y/N’s hair. Pinching the feather between his fingers, he tossed it over his shoulder toward Steve. Bucky cupped Y/N’s cheeks planting a soft kiss to her lips.

Steve frowned, “She can’t keep stealing Mr. Sherman's chickens. You know if he finds out he’ll have the whole town after us.”

Bucky stood, holding his hand out to help Y/N to her feet. Turning his head to Steve he replied, “I’ll take responsibility for her. She’s my omega. I’ll take care of her.” Turning back to Y/N, he squeezed both of her hands. “Come on ‘mega, no more hiding. Time to take you home.”

I'm still learning about terms/myself so please be like soooo patient with me

Idea for those who nest (and/or have cycles):

weighted, heated, scented plushie with a heartbeat that's made to mimic a baby

(could be used for those who nest during cycles and use plushies to calm down parental instincts, or just those who like the sensory aspect!!)

[alteredinstincts]

Made a scent flag edit from @rabidbatboy

mixed the rain and vanilla scent flags because that’s a mix of my chosen scent and the scent my mate associates with me!

Feel free to use, and thank you again Batsy for the inspo and flag base!

[oatmilk-omega]

This one goes out to all the omegas out there. You're all cute and deserve cuddles and something nice for your nest
