Generations

Explinations

Welcome to my re-write and hopeful continuation of "what about after school" which is now; "Generations"! Shorter, sweeter, accurate. There were a few problems with the original work, it had an underdeveloped world, underdeveloped system of magic and bodies and I accidentally made it way too...rapey. 
 
I have obviously had years to think about this now and though it may be a little pathetic of me to come back after years and re-write an entire fairy tail fanfiction, I enjoyed this! And I look back on this and find some things still make me smile and if that's not enough reason the two people who said they'd want it back certainly are. So! I shall begin by announcing the biggest change that will need the most explaining to fix this fanfic.
 
Omegaverse!
 
I know there may be some people put off by that but hear me out! I have re-worked/tweaked the entire omegaverse system in my head and hopefully, this will lead to allot more sense being made and interesting opportunity for characters and development. 
 
If you don't care about all the biological details then you may skip to the end and then if you get confused while reading you can come back and read this anytime. 
 
Now imagine me putting a doctors jacket on. I'm going to be talking in medical terms about genitals so if you're iffy about them too please skip. And if you don't understand any of this you may be too young for this fanfiction anyway.
 
We all know that the most looked down upon thing in omegaverse are the "men getting preggo up the ass" thing. I have seen a few diagrams explaining how this works but I have devised another solution. 
 
Sex, second sex and gender. 
 
Basically in this world, there are two categories of one's sexual anatomy, it’s like those picture books that have sections to change out bits of the body. 
 
Primary sex is the main shape of the body, the voice, the chest, most things you'd associate with our worlds sex, so a Female would have a higher voice, softer hair, less body hair, breasts, all that stuff. As a result, this world used primary sex as a social default. In caveman terms; has boob, is a lady, don’t have boobs, is a man. This gets interesting when it comes to this world and children which we'll see in a second. 
 
The secondary sex is the bottom half of the picture book, this refers to genitals, hormones and how your body reacts to things like pheromones and has heats and all that. Biologically its penises and vaginas (not exclusively as there are intersex people, of course, that’s just biology) and hormones. This is the Alpha Beta and Omega bit. There are some physical differences because of second sexes, omegas tend to be shorter, alphas taller, omegas softer and alphas tougher but those are often blown up stereotypes, people are diverse by nature. However omegas still have heats, alphas have ruts, alphas have a commanding alpha voice, omegas have their own lesser-known voice, alphas are seen as the protectors and omegas the homemakers/baby-makers but society is getting past that now. 
 
So! Let's talk in hypotheticals. In this world when a child is born they obviously have visible genitals. However, the parents don't know whether their child is male or female because their body isn't developed enough, most people can’t tell until puberty, and can't tell if they are alpha, beta or omega until they hit 'second puberty because betas can have either. However, some don't do that for money or just freedom of expression purposes and allow their children to discover who they are as they grow.
 
Of course, people make assumptions because people are assholes and once hormone testing became available there came a social standard of finding out your child's sexes and having a party. A gender reveal party. They are bad here too but they don't start wildfires.
 
Now we have the question of gender. The smart of us know that gender isn't your biology, that’s why trans people exist. In this world, much like our own, primary sex is often what people assume to be gender. If you get breaststroke and a feminine figure you're a female, you're a girl, you get no breasts and a masculine figure you're a male, you're a boy. But there are of course trans people who know or discover this label doesn't fit them. They have a female primary sex and they are, for example, an omega, but they know that they are a boy! So we have primary sex-based gender dysphoria but is there secondary sex-based dysphoria? Yes! We will call this...ABOphoria that trans man could also realise he's not omega but he'd feel more himself as an alpha or beta, he would prefer to have a penis and alpha pheromones. It’s perfectly reasonable and much like in our world it's becoming more accepted and treatments are much more readily available to help people fit in with their real selves. The freedom of expression and discovery some children are given when they don't have tests for their gender and only discover what their bodies are when they start developing really helps some kids realise they are trans early on. 
 
So there we have it! Gender, sex and ABO sex explained! Most ABO stuff is the same as most things except the parts, biologically, omegas have vaginas, alphas have penises and betas can have either, and all the hormones and mating and all that is the same as you’re probably used to. Unless this is your first time encountering omegaverse then hi! I hope this isn't too confusing! I'm not going to pretend its perfect but it's something. If you got this far, thank you for reading! 
 
If you skipped here’s the summary; Alphas have penises and Omegas have vaginas and Betas can have either, so a female alpha would have a dick and a male omega would have a vagina and sex is not gender. 
 
Okay! Now that is out of the way for the sake of ease and fun I have decided that I am going to keep magic as a part of this. Everything is in a modern setting so the things they can get away with is toned down and there is no Zeref and demons and all that. But you can't stop fairy tail breaking shit, that's who they are. 
 
This is the most explaining I'm going to do so from here on you will be figuring out things from context clues. Good luck!
