Animals and Prizes 6

Title: Animals and Prizes (6/?)
Author: Alsike
Fandom: Victorious
Pairing: Jade West/Tori Vega
Rating: PG-13 (15? R? I haven't changed it yet, but it's getting more and more... descriptive)

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.  And... maybe a touch of gender politics.

Thank you for using the "Dear Planned Packhood" to explain about mating and promoting safe sex. Also thanks for having Holly explain about different smells.

Even though "only .5% of natural mating heats ever occur in high school," I'm still hoping Tori and Jade mate in high school. Because I'm a fan of their awesome love and also I'm concerned about Jade's welfare. Am I correct that if Tori and Jade mate now, Jade's father loses his rights over Jade and Tori takes them over?

Tori's parents continue to be awesome.

Someone should kill Jade's dad. I feel the same way about Emma Frost's father.

I really, really enjoyed writing the Dear Planned Packhood letters. Apparently I missed my calling as an advice columnist :) .

If Tori and Jade mated now it would have to be with parental consent, and since Tori is a minor there would be some crazy legal finagling to sort it out. Um, not that I've worked this out.

Tori's parents are super. And Jade's dad is the worst. Well, maybe not compared to Winston.

Thanks!

That's mating with an artificial mating chemical. What's the situation concerning rights if Tori and Jade fuck (without parental consent) and the mating occurs naturally (proven by a blood test)?

[nike-ravus.livejournal.com]

Mating, both natural and artificial, can be chemically broken. In this situation, since both Jade and Tori are minors, the responsible alpha has the final decision on whether or not the mating will stand, i.e. Jade's dad.

If Jade was of age and Tori wasn't, Jade's opinion would be consulted, but Tori's father would have the deciding vote, since he would become the responsible alpha in the situation. He would probably find the concept of natural mating romantic, and leave it up to them. But he also gains a certain amount of power over Jade. When Tori comes of age, it goes to her.

If Tori was of age and Jade wasn't, Jade's father would be able to sue for damages, and avoid prosecution for taking Tori's head off. :) He would not find natural mating romantic.

If they were both of age, then Tori would become Jade's responsible alpha, and Jade's father couldn't get away with killing her.

(If I actually write a section of the legal code for this world, it's your fault. :) )

Wow. Thanks for explaining.

Oh, man, the updates I've missed while I was busy over finals were phenomenal! It's like an early Christmas present! :D

I'm enjoying the glimpses we see into this world even though it completely sucks for omegas like Jade. With the politics being what they are now, it seems that she just can't seem to get a break. Poor girl.

Jade's father does remind me of Winston though. Either would use their children as pawns to better their image and get ahead in the world.

And I've got a nice little Christmas present coming along for you! XD At the moment, it contains 14 (at the moment) little gifts that will hopefully make you smile. You're still getting dragon smut around your birthday, of course, but I figured you wouldn't mind some Christmas cheer, too! :D

You have gotten entirely too skilled at this updating business. I am not happy with it. That is, I am ecstatic (may it carry over to E2 fics!) but it poses a problem when I can't comment fast enough. Let's hope this catching up proves good enough to keep me up from now on.

I really like the opening sequence of each chapter. It really gives lots of good background information on the world, and also on the characters in it and how they feel. It's an info dump, but a classy and well done one. The idea of Daneel as a female alpha was especially nice, as were the Planned Packhood letters.

Jade's mind is a fascintaing place, yet also highly disturbing. It seems she's taken all her agression and anger at being n omega and turned it outwards, onto alphas. So when there finally comes an alpha she's attracted to, all she can really think of is that she has to dominate that alpha, to turn the tables on her, to be the only one to own her and control her. This is exactly why I think their relationship is currently very unhealthy, and will remain so as long as Jade is in this mindset, which will probably not change any time soon due to her father and societal mores.

Tori's father was brilliant throughout. I love how enthusiastic he's being about his daughter getting to be an alpha, it's very cute.You write Wikipedia fantastically well, as well as Tori's (and most teenagers) reaction to it. Have you considered doing an A/B/O wiki?

Okay, that was seriously disturbing. Tori acts... well, perfect, really. She remains in control. She doesn't kiss Jade. Jade is the one who lost control. And Jade's comment... that suggests to me her psychosis is far worse. Now she also no doubt hates herself for losing control and being an Omega. But again, she's channeling it outwards, hating Tori for being an alpha yet not being one. This is going nowhere good.

Cat is also incredible fun. I like how she constantly makes me laugh. "You're making her do drugs!" Indeed.

I like Tori's parents. It seems nothing bad has come out of them keeping the truth away for a bit. In fact, I think it may have made for a better relationship. It made Tori consider being friends with her in the first place, and respect her even without knowing she was such an aggressive omega. I still don't think it can go anywhere good if Jade doesn't get her act together... but yeah, if she does, they might have a good basis for a relationship.
