Been A Son

This is actually PART ONE of the BEEN A SON -- Omegaverse series.Dr. Hannibal Lecter, world renowned psychiatrist, has been hiding a secret.He's also the Chesapeake Ripper.Will Graham, Alpha, FBI criminal profiler and all around repressed aggressive mess is brought in to take down the Ripper. In hopes of helping him manage his empathy disorder while working the case, Dr. Lecter is brought in as a consultant to help harness Mr. Graham's more unstable tendencies. While Dr. Lecter doesn't mind Will Graham finding out about his murderous hobbies, there are *some* things he'd much rather keep to himself.Will Graham, however, is one persistent Alpha mongoose.

Okay, I was kind of dared to do this by victorine, who turned me on to what Omegaverse was and I became so fascinated by the phenomenon I read all the best recs and came to the conclusion that A) It's absolutely the best batshit trash out there going and B) this would be insanely fun to write. I love the whole sci-fi bend to it, and the fact that it's a fan generated phenomenon puts it way out there in terms of meta and how this whole fandom world thing is evolving. (It's quite fascinating to note that Outsider works, like those by Darger and Samuel R. Delany, often employ these kinds of gender bending tropes and it's especially true in science fiction written by women. I think it's an interesting thing to note and considering that I believe fanfiction does have considerable feminist leanings within it, I'm just going to hold Gloria Steinem's hand and we'll run away together.)I've been around the fanfiction block a very long time and I write original crap too, so that means two things--1: Unless otherwise specified, I finish what I start. This story is outlined at twenty chapters of approximately seven thousand words each and I know how it ends. 2: I play in my own sandbox a LOT. Expect a lot of world building.That being said, the basic logistics of this particular A/B/O universe are as follows:Alphas are the cream of the crop--and are under a lot of societal pressure to 'settle down and make more Alpha babies so we're super aggressive awesome superpowers yaaay!'Betas are basically the usual folks--they can be bossy and often unpredictable in relationships which is difficult for Alphas to deal with in long term affairs.Omegas--poor things got the societal shit stick. On the one hand they are considered 'sweet' and 'docile' and are expected to make lots of Alpha babies for their bonded mates (superpower! yaaay!) but it comes at a severe price. They are sequestered away, hidden from view unless Alphas are at functions and events where they are displayed like trophy wives. Male Omegas are extremely rare and are considered property of their Alpha as they are barren and are thus virtually ignored by society save for their novelty factor. The rates of abuse for both Omega sexes is extremely high and due to their lack of autonomy they have very high rates of depression and suicide. Frankly, it sucks being an Omega.No six fingered butt babies in this fic, and yes, male Omegas have perfectly functioning vajay-jays as they are phenotypically hermaphroditic. I hope you guys enjoy this ride, and I'd love to hear your thoughts. It's a plot monster, as usual. I'm going to try to update at least once or twice a week, if that whole real life thing doesn't get too much in the way.
