Animals and Prizes 3

[nike_ravus]

Title: Animals and Prizes (3/?)
Author: Alsike
Fandom: Victorious
Pairing: Jade West/Tori Vega
Rating: PG-13 (15? Mention of knotting, but nothing explicit)

Summary: Tori Vega is starting an exciting new school, Hollywood Arts, but she has a secret. She's a female alpha, naturally dominant and aggressive.  If anyone finds out, her life will hardly be worth living. In addition, Alphas sense when an omega goes into heat, but that doesn't mean she wants an omega - especially not a girl omega. Biology isn't destiny, right? Jori

Warnings: This is a Knotting world - because knotting is hilarious and kind of gross - so be prepared.  BUT PG-13 (for now)  And... maybe a touch of gender politics.

Ah, I understand. That makes your ability to write it well all the more powerful. Still, I have no doubt you can make the relationship between Jade and Tori epic.

Oh, so there's biological imperative as well. Well, if omegas go into heat, I can see where that would reduce their value in the eyes of society. It's just so odd, you know? That Jade is the exception to the rule, that most omegas accept their nature and just go along with it. Of course, one could say it's the same for Tori, but it's not. Because if Tori accepts her true nature, her situation could be worse, since most don't believe in it. I really want to see more of this, so it's good to know it'll be in the fic.

So wait. Can Female Alphas impregnate Omegas? Or is it only males who have the ability to impregnate in this world? Since both genders can get pregnant based on their position, I'd have thought there'd be some kind of consistency to it...

The relationship is really the best part of the fic. I'm actually surprised at Tori's parents for not correcting her mistake, but I suppose they're respecting Jade's choice. It's just odd - Tori is nice, as Jade noted, and very much does not act like an Alpha. If they had told her the truth, she probably would have gone to Jade and swear never to mate with her unless it was what Jade wanted. They managed to form a truce anyway, but it remains a question. Of course, there's also the question of why Jade doesn't see that Tori is modern, and if they did mate, she wouldn't be the inferior in the relationship. Indeed, she could be the superior. I want to hear more of their thoughts on this.

Lastly, forgive me if I am being annoying, but are there plans for any other fic sometime soon?

Well, perhaps epic, perhaps just overly drawn out. :)

Jade isn't an exception really. Her situation is slightly different from other omegas. But there's a reason that there's an omega rights movement at all. More will be explained.

Oh no, it's consistent. Examine the comments above. It may not be relevant to this story, but it is all sorted out.

Tori's parents are really 'hands off' style parents. It makes sense to them currently, though they may regret it in the future.

Oh man, other fic? My plans for winter break are to rewrite novel 1, finish novel 2, write A-paper 1, outline A-paper 2, so I'm going to say no. This one came as much a surprise to me as anyone, and if I hadn't had two days of student meetings with nothing to do in the interim periods I would probably have never written this one either. Check back next semester. And yet, as is clear, one really never knows.

Oh, thanks, that all makes a lot more sense now. Just... how? It is some kind of sperm that is unique to them or something?

I don't know about Tori's parents. They have a point. Especially as the main problem is Jade's attitude, and the next problem is that Tori herself needs to become more of an Alpha, more of an equal. They definitely can't fix the first, and they can only tell Tori she should change. But it'll be far more powerful and better if she does it herself, so... yeah. I think their main fault is in not supplying proper context and information for the girls.

Ah, I though so. Well, best of luck with those... and I shall remain patient and hoping.
