a snippet from ellipsus

the salty edge of sadness taints her scent, and the next thing he knows, Roach has shuffled over to sit at her knee. He doesn't feel afraid when she looks down at him, instead he just rests his head against her thigh, chest rumbling with something akin to a shaky purr.

Usually, Roach hates when these kinds of things happen, these instinctual overrides or whatever. They're so foreign and make him feel wrong. With the pups he does alright, considering the years he's had to adjust; but any other time…

He can see Ghost watching him, see the concern in his eyes, but Roach actually feels okay. A little unnerved, sure, but he's used to that. Right now, he just wants to comfort Alpha MacTavish, give her something to focus on.

Long nails scrape gently against his scalp as her hands card through his hair. It takes him a moment to realize she's speaking, but to Ghost instead of him.

"Can see why ye recommended him," her voice is soft, "But yer daft if ye think I'll be leavin ye behind."

a snippet from ellipsus

"Respectfully, Mrs MacTavish, you know nothing about me."

"Think that goes both ways, ye ken little about me, or ma family," Mrs Mactavish says, "But ye were willin to trust we'd take care of your dear friend."

Ghost, stubborn asshole, shakes his head, "That's different."

The alpha then asks, "Does this have to do with yer previous alpha?" Everything in Roach locks up, a low whine rising from his throat. Ghost begins to growl, but Mrs MacTavish is already speaking, "Oh hen, I'm sorry, tha was careless of me." Her palm runs down the back of Roach's neck, soothing him gently. "I didnae mean to upset either of ye, I only-" she pauses, taking long enough that Roach lifts his head so he can see her.

"I'm only sayin tha I ken what ye did, Ghost, an so does ma Match." She meets Ghost's eyes, "Tell me truly, do ye pose an unreasonable threat to me or any other alphas?"

"No."

It's not Ghost who says it.

Shut up Soap is just. Peak Angst.
physical torture? he's got training for that.
psychological torture? harder but he's got some training for that too.
he'll live or die trying.

but the onslaught of emotional hurt from being told to shut up by someone he loves, who he hopes loves him? unbearable.

meanwhile Ghost and Bucky are just trading war stories
'cartel hung me from a tree with a meat hook thru my ribs'
'soviets made this whole evil dentist's chair to fry my brain'
'i was buried me alive'
'i was on ice between missions. for years sometimes.'
and they nod at each-other in solidarity

the whole time I was making this, the idea of winterhawk meeting ghoap was simmering in the back of my mind

Clint's disaster self is somehow disarmingly endearing. Ghost wouldn't stand a chance
Soap would work his charm on Bucky
Both Clint and Soap are *so* ADHD coded and things will end up on fire

A three-way venn diagram, the top labeled as Clint Barton, bottom left as James Barnes, and bottom right as Simon Riley
the cells without overlap contain the following-
Clint Barton - loves purple, Archer, former carnie, canon dog dad
James Barnes - enhanced human, over 100 years old, metal fucking arm, canon cat dad
Simon Riley - keeps face concealed, magnet for betrayal, English, legally dead

the overlap between Barton and Barnes says: snarky, sassy sarcastic; marvel; would die for Natasha Romanoff

the overlap between Barnes and Riley says: follows a captain, former Prisoner of war, sniper

the overlap between Riley and Barton says: shitty dad cliche, just a Guy, Betrayed by superior (or superiors), Blond (applies only to reboot ghost)

the overlap between all three of them says Military-slash-paramilitary, Blue eyes (applies only to '09 Ghost), sharpshooter, and subjected to mind control.

Also find it funny that this is a #ghoap AU but the first two chapters so far are from neither of their points of view.

Maybe the third will be, who knows (definitely not me)

I think these two have a more significant bond than I intended but honestly I'm not complaining.

A snippet from ellipsus,

"Afraid there's been a casualty, Sergeant," says Ghost somberly, and it's not hard to guess what he's talking about considering where he's looking.

(Roach signs) 'How bad?'

"On a scale from decent to disaster…"

Roach groans, reaching up to tug at his hair - which is definitely not going to help him but what does it matter now anyway. Though why did it matter in the first place? It's not like the Alpha will actually take him, he wouldn't go even if she tried. What if they do try though–

Gentle fingers coax him into dropping his hands, then start to comb through the mess. It's soothing, grounding. His shoulders go lax.

Ghost hums, contemplative, "Which one was it that believed when I said you wash your hair with strawberries?"

With an amused huff, he mumbles, "Mary."

"Should've replaced your shampoo with something strawberry scented, could've convinced more of them."

Well Mama MacTav's chap is over 3k, but I've finally made it to the lads!

Roach is a wee bit anxious, and playing with the kids was a good distraction, but not without its consequences... mainly for his hair. (and just when he thought he'd tamed the perma-bedhead)

who's just there too. he's older, just keeps an eye on everything, ready to step in if need be - stop a cat fight before it can start. Some of the kitties like him, some just avoid him.

That's Ghost. Ghost is the dog. The other omegas are the kitties.

Honestly the mental image is making me giggle

just walk in and kitties *everywhere* - you have the ones that'll come say hi, ones that are too busy playing to care, the ones that watch warily from a distance.

and there's a dog-

honestly cannot remember why I made omega females experience both a period and heat, that's just fuckin rude
those two things are mutually exclusive so I might scrap that particular bit...

Sooo. Yeah. That's my standard version of #alphabetaomega dynamics.

That's also part of why I didn't detail what exactly the mating gland/s are; the other part is that I was tired and couldn't think of words.

Didn't think to include any notes regarding breast development either...

I may or may not still be sleep deprived.

Anywhoozles-

Obviously my little charts and notes are missing some information.
I didn't add any additional worldbuilding, because I like having flexibility and being able to change things up. So what's here is just the baseplate so to speak, and then the world goes on top of it [like Legos]

Title consists of the Greek letters alpha, beta, and omega separated by slashes
Subtitled reproductive anatomy per dynamic and sex
Below is a comparison chart, an 8 by 7 table that displays the following information-
An alpha male has a penis, testes, a knot, and mating glands.
An alpha female has a penis, testes, knot, vagina, and mating glands.
A beta male has a penis, testes, and mating glands.
A beta female has a vagina, womb, and mating glands.
An omega male has a penis, vagina, womb, slick glands, and mating glands.
Finally, an omega female has a vagina, womb, slick glands, and mating glands.
Beneath the table are some notes in a bullet list.
First point, The testes of Alpha Females are internal
New point, The knot is an erectile muscle slash structure of tissue that swells before ejaculation and prolongs erection and ejaculation with intermittent contractions. Its purpose is to tighten and lock (or 'tie') the penis inside the mate's vagina to increase the chance of successful breeding. On average, a tie lasts for 15 to 20 minutes, but the range is anywhere from 5 to 50 minutes. 
Last point, Slick glands are small glands in the vaginal lining that produce additional lubricating fluid known as slick when stimulated. During heat, slick is produced in excess, causing spontaneous secretion, also called leaking, without the need for stimulation. Slick assists with knotting, acts as a mild analgesic, and is meant to prevent painful friction.

Subtitled Reproductive cycles per dynamic and sex
below is a comparison chart, a 5 by 7 table, that displays the following information-
Alpha males experience estrous, occurring once every 3 months for a duration of 3 to 5 days.
Alpha females experience estrous, but only reactively with the duration depending on unlisted factors.
Beta Males do not experience either estrous or menses. 
Beta females experience menses, occurring monthly for a duration of 5 to 7 days.
Omega males experience estrous, occurring once every 3 months for a duration of 3 to 5 days.
Omega females experience estrous occurring once every three months for a duration of 3 to 5 days; they also experience menses occurring monthly for a duration of 3 to 5 days.
Beneath the table are some notes in a bullet list
First point, Various factors can affect one's estrous or menstrual cycle and cause irregularities.
New point, Fertility significantly increases during estrous, especially for Alpha Females and Omega Males
New point, Estrous can occur reactively via pheromone triggers or artificial means i.e. drugs
New point For Alpha Females, estrous only occurs reactively, as they do not have an estrous cycle.
Last point, For Omega Females, menstruation occurs twelve to seventeen days following a heat, and a total of three times between heats.

Title consists of the Greek letters alpha, beta, and omega separated by slashes
Subtitled additional notes regarding dynamic and sex
The notes are formatted as a bullet list.
First point, Alpha females and omega males are identifiable at birth, since they're the only dynamic-sexes that have dual genitalia.
New point, For the others, dynamic remains unknown until adolescence, when they finally present.
Subpoint, Betas typically present earlier, around age 15, while Alphas and Omegas present around 16 or 17 years old.
Subpoint, Delayed presentation can occur for numerous reasons, from delayed puberty to genetic factors to external influences.
Subpoint, Precocious presentation only occurs in those who've had precocious puberty.
New point, Presentation is the part of later puberty that introduces dynamic-specific hormonal changes and results in the maturation of one's dynamic traits. 
Subpoint, This involves changes in scent and the final development of one's mating glands.
Subpoint, For Alphas and Omegas, it also includes the onset of estrous and the estrous cycle. While Alpha females do not cycle, they still experience a mild rut during presentation.
Final point, Unpresented is the term generally used when speaking of a child whose dynamic is uncertain. [e.g. "I have two kids, an unpresented boy and an alpha girl."] Occasionally also used to denote young Alphas and Omegas who've yet to experience their first rut or heat, respectively.
