I love this list so much because it adds so much verity to scents in the omegaverse. My personal favorite scents (From my favorite candle) are sea salt and lily, lavender, old books, and the smell of bread.
Thoughts on Scents
So I wanted to just give my thoughts on some interesting scent options, because no hate to sandalwood, it seems like everyone always smells like it in fics. And since I also have an indie perfume obsession, I wanted to share some scents that may broaden people's horizons. I may do a part two depending on how well I like how this turned out.
Pine resin, with hints of wood smoke, and warm brandy.
The smell of damp fresh earth after a summer rain.
Palo santo, dry desert grasses, and sage
Amber, laudanum, and frankincense
Tobacco, burnt grasses, with hints of citrus
Pine needles, forest floor, and stone
Saltwater, ambergris, fresh rain, beach sand
Stone, oakmoss, clay, and wet concrete
Animal fur musk, mulled wine, and a cold winter breeze
Freshly washed linen, lemon cakes, and black tea
Coconut, dark rum, and sugarcane
Leather bound books, a dying fire, and cedar
A crisp fall evening, apple orchards, and toasted marshmallows
Magnolias, Spanish moss, and honeysuckle
Sun warmed earth, tomato plants, and iced tea
Cactus flowers, sweet grass, and wood dry vanilla
Lemon grass, heliotrope, and sugar cookies
Dead leaves, dry hay, and cognac
And that's no even touching on all the different kinds of plants, flowers, and foods. I could go on for a very long time.
Different Types of Ruts
Different types of Heats
Natural ruts
Definition: Natural ruts are organic ruts that are not triggered by an omega’s heat. An alpha’s body does not need to prepare for reproduction or extreme biological change, so natural ruts are not as frequent as heats. Ruts have a similar purpose to sexual heats, to find a mate and breed. Natural ruts last 1-4 days.
When: Natural ruts occur 2-3 times a year in alphas of all ages. Ruts tend to stop/slow down around the age of 55.
How to handle: Easier to go through with a mate/partner, however, if there is no partner, fellow pack members and loved ones can calm the alpha down and turn the rut mellow and non-sexual. Sex, cuddles, keep fed and hydrated.
Symptoms: Possessive behavior of mate and pack members, aroused state, restless, produces protective and, usually, seductive scent.
Induced ruts
Definition: Induced ruts can occur for two reasons. 1. An alpha’s mate/partner goes into heat. 2. They take a supplement that will send them into rut if they want to have pups. It is important to note that ruts cannot be caused by unfamiliar omegas. When packs were more primitive and had to fight for territory, rival packs would send their omegas in heat to lure enemy alphas in and kill them, leaving the alphas’ pack vulnerable. Induced heats last the duration of the heat which induced it or, if medically induced, about 1-3 days.
When: Occurs when a significant other goes into heat or medically activated. Common in alphas ages 18-50. Induced ruts can occur as often as once every two months.
How to handle: Let them be with their partner. Sex is the best solution.
Symptoms: Possessive behavior of mate, aroused state, restless, produces protective and seductive scent, fever.
What’s my Perfect Nest?
My perfect nest is this one!
The reason why is because I love floor beds! I also love air diffusers which I would put my favorite scent in. I love the blanket and all the pillows. The crisp white background and then all the beautiful green in the room would make me feel comfortable and very safe. Even with that comforter, I would a few more blankets to it.🌿
Poly Packs HC’s Pt.1
1. The classic Alpha/Omega/Alpha pack!
The omega gets twice the knot during their heats, twice the protection and most importantly, all the lovins they could ask for! Not to mention, so much fun! They want to have so many pups and the omega has to remind them that their omega is only one person.
2. Traditional Trio! Alpha/Beta/Omega pack!
They all start out as friends, but when it came to presenting, the beta was confused as to why their friends were acting differently. So they talk it all out.. the omega really likes the beta but likes the alpha just as much. The beta sees the alpha as a beautiful pillar in their life, the alpha sees the beta as sweet calming factory. The omega sees the both of them as beautiful humans they couldn’t do without. They decide to form a pack and the rest is history, they are inseparable. They have two pups amongst them. After all the alpha pestering the omega and getting the approval from their beautiful beta.
3. Sweet and Gentle pack Omega/Omega/Beta:
The omegas are both the doting type, always making sure the beta is ready for all their meetings or interviews if they looking for a job. During their heat cycles, the omegas help one another and the beta helps as well. They have often very long lovemaking sessions and they love it. Between the three of them, they have one pup, the beta doting and worrying for the carrying omega while the other omega spends way too much on things for the little one to be.
4. Topsy Turvy Pack Alpha/Beta/Alpha:
The two alphas are often at each other’s necks deciding which one has more reason to have the beta by their side during their rut cycle but ultimately the beta steps in and cuts that shit out with them. The beta is the peacemaker but they enjoy having two alphas to accompany them wherever they go, making sure that their mate is content and has all the things they need, one of the alphas wants to start making pups and the other isn’t necessarily ready and is more or less terrified of fucking up their pup and their beautiful connections to one another. Eventually they have a pup, they have a surrogate for their pregnancy after trying a few times and getting frustrated. Their omega surrogate has grown very fond of the pack and is around their home around the holidays and takes turns holding the pup during family photos.
5. The Simplicity is key Pack! Beta/Omega/Beta
They meet at a little coffee shop some where and hit it off. Starting off as friends and then slowly finding romance to be something they wished to pursue. The betas together take care of their precious omega, making sure they don’t feel uncomfortable or scared of going out for simple things. The betas are always helping their omega through their heats. When the omega expresses a long period of pup fever, the betas come up with a sweet little announcement to let their omega know just how much they want to have a pup.
