Are you the one who made the cover art?

11150070
This is the second work I've done where people have asked if I did the cover. Y'all have a very high opinion of my abilities. :rainbowlaugh:

I found it on NewGrounds by the artist NairdaGS.

Never been into these ABO stories but daaaaamn. This one caught me. Started reading and just... kept going XD

Seriously. If y'all are going into this (or downvoting) because you expect smut, then read it first. I was pleasantly surprised. It's unique and an interesting read.

The "Omegaverse"?

This is the first time I learned of this?

11150239
Yeah, it's surprisingly stealth, but I practically guarantee you've seen at least one other thing. I've seen references on TikTok, Tumblr, etc. There've even been news articles about it (but of course they get a LOT of it wrong).

Dude, I swear to you I was just thinking of how cool it'd be to see a Alpha Sunset fic with A/B/O Dyna's, are you my fbi agent or smth?

11150243

Wait, I'm confused? I thought this is just another name of the sub genre of stories in here?

11150251
I've seen precisely one (1) other fic on FimFiction that's Omegaverse connected, and it's a clopfic. There's precisely one (1) other MLP Omegaverse fic on AO3, and it's a completely different fic. I have no idea how A/B/O has bypassed MLP/EQG up 'til now, considering how prolific it is in other fandoms. (120-thousand plus fics on AO3, in fandoms from Star Wars to CSI to heckin v-tubers to original fics to Batman to...well, you get the point)

11150259

I think people are super obsessed with Wolves and Werewolves lately? I think it has something to do with that infamous Alpha and Omega cartoon movie series.

11150259
True. Honestly it makes me a little ticked too because I love the dynamic alot. Stories great so far btw can't wait for more

Awesome story.
I kinda already read the first chapter over on AO3. I wasn't paying attention to the author name, so I hadn't realised it was you until you mention "My Empire of Dirt".

11150321
I know for me the Jane Jameson/Half-moon Hollow series was my gateway to this shared-universe/subculture/fandom. While there's nothing explicitly A/B/O about JJ/HMH (there are werewolves with a pack structure and some discussion of scents and the like...though the most recent book does detail the life-mating bite. It's missing the knotting mechanic and the pack roles are limited to a single "alpha couple" and "everyone else"), liking that series led me to other urban fantasy romance novels, which included the Mercy Thompson series, which has a spin off series called (say it with me now) Alpha and Omega. If you read Mercy Thompson, you'll recognize some of the pack structure and social dynamics I'm using in Deviation (no use reinventing the wheel, after all). There are minor differences, like "Alpha" being predominantly a title earned by the strongest wolf in the pack, "beta" being any other wolf that isn't an omega, and the knotting mechanic and the omega MPREG aspect (and I never, ever thought I'd be writing an MPREG anything, it's not my thing, but I guess I live here now...) is missing.

11150327

Yup! I may cross-post to Wattpad, too. We, unfortunately, live in an age when someone can pull a Karen and get your content pulled completely legally and, even if they're proven to have made false allegations to get that content pulled, face no repercussions. I used to be in favor of only posting to two locations for any fic, but in the wake of fanfiction.net's Purge, the Tumbpocolips, and similar, I'm all about spreading content postings as far and wide as possible to prevent another massive loss of culture like what happened with my beloved Ranma fandom; unless the author's took extra steps to load their works to backup locations around the web or you know exactly where to look on archive.org, lots of fantastic content is lost to history.

11150459

Um. I think that we are thinking two different things. Because, I'm talking about the cartoon movie series of Alpha and Omega. Not that romantic/drama books.

11150845
Oh, I'm aware, my roommate's been teasing me with the movies for a couple days now. :rainbowwild:

(start quote wile keeping the spoiler box) shouldn’t have waited, she reflected, I should have told her she was my daughter when she graduated. Even if I had to tell her it was a state secret…(End Quote)
That was quite the sucker punch, in that I didn't see it coming, just being dropped suddenly in the middle of a chapter and all, not that it was bad.

Anyway the story's quite interesting so far, this is my first ever encounter with this kind of story though so i got to ask a question;
it wasn't super well explained which is understanding as the characters would have no reason to comment on it in story but what is the biology for them in this case, are they humanoids with some more canine genital characteristics? i think you mentioned werewolves in the description, do they transform in certain circumstances?

You don't need to answer those questions yourselves if you don't want to, but if so can you point me to a wiki or something?

Also my pedantic nerd brain wants to point out that the alpha wolf thing was an improperly studied hypothesis and that alphas don't really exist in wolves, but that doesn't really mater for this story and would make me an ass... wait... shit!

11150078
The Newgrounds page says that you should give credit, and a comment is kind of obscure

11151350

You are new here... :rainbowwild: Being serious, nearly all stories for the Omegaverse have some sort of canine physical characteristic being prominently displayed by the Alphas and omegas, though betas are usually used as a "baseline" human body-type to compare by the more...competent writers, which implies that there's zero difference other than vestigial between betas and IRL humans. Very few that I've encountered that weren't specifically about werewolves feature a full fuzzy transformation, but the majority will include things like canine muscular characteristics (tends to be more dense and composed of more fast-twitch muscle fiber than humans), wolf-like eyes, the already mentioned nasal and dental configurations, etc. and leave it at that. A large percentage will also include a limited "transformation" like their canine teeth elongating to out-and-out fangs, eyes changing color and gaining a lucida tapeta, etc.

It's going to be in the next chapter, so this isn't much of a spoiler; In this version of (Omegaverse)EQG, eyes change color, fangs drop, and nails extend, and when in this "mode," the Alpha's speed will increase and their strength jumps up quite a bit. Sunset's changes are going to be basically the same, but with notable physical differences that will draw attention to her alien nature.

You don't need to answer those questions yourselves if you don't want to, but if so can you point me to a wiki or something?

I haven't seen a good single source of info, like a wiki, for this, and most "reference guides" have been full of the author's specific headcanons and will either out-and-out contradict other guides, the content of some of the stories, or both. I've been reading stuff that's A/B/O-adjacent and precursors to what is now called "The Omegaverse" since before the Internet was a thing, so I was able to jump in with both feet and go from there. I've had to adapt some nomenclature, like the usage of "Alpha," "beta," etc., but all in all most Omegaverse fics follow the already long established pattern of, "It's humans, but with wolf social patterns (for given values of the understanding of exactly what those even are) and some werewolf-like traits using fantasy/sci-fi mcguffin logic here" that's been around for ages.

The specific features of an A/B/O fic are the application of the labels, the emphasis on the sex-characteristics of the Alpha females and omega males as they differ from the human norm (specifically the genital configuration), and the heavy emphasis on scent. Some (like mine, and certainly not all) fics will also include a pack social structure that's been modified to fit the more modern studies of wolves and the specific needs of their presentation of the in-universe world, but most just go with whatever understanding of Omegaverse-specific social structure that's been established for fiction.

Also my pedantic nerd brain wants to point out that the alpha wolf thing was an improperly studied hypothesis and that alphas don't really exist in wolves, but that doesn't really mater for this story and would make me an ass... wait... shit!

It's largely a vocab issue. I have a sidebar on this blog post here about this very thing, but if you want me to discuss it in more detail I certainly can. :twilightblush:

Credit given when hovering over "Source" on the cover image I do this whenever I use a fan-created image if I can find attribution, and in the last couple years I've specifically started hunting down pics that were specifically labelled as "share-alike" of some variety to respect artist wishes. Again, presuming the perfect pic has attribution to be found, some pics are posted to image-dump websites like a -chan or -booru without proper attribution and the author's original image links are just gone from the Internet or on pages hidden from search engines by paywalls so I can't find the source.

I will always respect artist wishes, and if it's an area of possible concern (like this one), I'll make appropriate and reasonable modifications (even I have limits in this regard), and in this case a quick edit of the story description is certainly well within "appropriate and reasonable." :twilightsmile:

Me when I saw this:
"Omegaverse? Ewww."
::pokes self::
"Hey Elsie, you're reading pony fanfiction. Isn't it a bit hypocritical for you to be judging? Like a lot hypocritical?"
"Good point me. I should probably not do that and just give this an honest chance since I've liked Columbia's other stuff."

Once I got over my initial "That's not how wolves work" pedantry and saw that Omegaverse was kinda it's own thing I enjoyed it a lot more. It spends a lot of time introducing the whole alpha, beta, omega thing. But that was kinda necessary since I had no idea about the whole thing, now the story can actually take off without introducing basic world concepts. Which might be why the rating is so skewed, 12k words in and all that's been done is mostly introduction. Peeps don't have patience to let a story develop slowly, once people realize this is only the beginning of a longer story I think the ratio of upvotes to down will head more positive.

Also, I adore Sunset as Celestia's kid headcanon. Why the show didn't just lead with that I'll never know, it just works so well with their relationship.

11151461
yeah, as you said in another comment, i think, this is pretty much the first story like this on FimFiction, and i don't read much fanfiction else where so hadn't come across anything like it.
But thanks for the info.

as for my pedantic nerd brain bit, it was mainly just me wanting to bring up a bit of science trivia, even though i knew it had nothing to do with the story because science is fun when done right. so i added the "I'd be an ass, wait, shit." bit to try and also get a laugh. these are fiction stories after all the don't need to be accurate to reality's.

Anyway, i'll be waiting on an update, the starts been a great read so far.

"Hey Elsie, you're reading pony fanfiction. Isn't it a bit hypocritical for you to be judging? Like a lot hypocritical?"
"Good point me. I should probably not do that and just give this an honest chance since I've liked Columbia's other stuff."

That has been my mantra for so many things on the Internet since 2010. :rainbowlaugh:

Oh, you sweet summer child to assume that's why people are downvoting a MLP-centric fic with sexual themes. :raritywink: Nah, every time I post a fic that has the "sex" tag, I get a slew of downvotes before there's even been a chance for it to be read by a single person, meanwhile the ones I post that don't have the "sex" tag don't receive that treatment. Not saying I don't get downvoted for being too wordy (Music Box Blues proved that's a thing), but the pattern of downvotes is different, which points to some sort of Purity-culture-stalkers that are trying to drive any mention of sex out of the fandom. That I've made the Feature Box three times with sexual-themes-heavy fics is evidence of just how much of a minority these people are, but it's still frustrating.

Also, I adore Sunset as Celestia's kid headcanon. Why the show didn't just lead with that I'll never know, it just works so well with their relationship.

I KNOW, RIGHT!?!?! I'm so glad I'm not the only one! (Just once, they could have had Sunset slip and say, "Mom." Bonus points for it being at the end of an episode and having the only pony reacting being Twilight being all, "...wait, WHAT?!" and then flip to black, roll credits. :rainbowlaugh:)

11151689
There's also this one (you'll have to turn off the "View Mature" filter to view it if, like me, you have an issue with FiMFiction not saving the value to "off," and yes, I've brought this up to the staff multiple times, it apparently only happens if you have certain ad-blocker and privacy settings turned on, and they refuse to tell me which ones so I can whitelist FiMFiction) on FiMFiction and this one on AO3. The former looks rather compelling and I'll be reading it in the near future, the second is low-grade smut (nothing wrong with that) that I haven't been able to get into.

Well, this is interesting, looking forward to more. Poor Sunset though, she’s completely oblivious to the fact she is Celestia’s daughter yet if someone was to point out all the extra fuss she got, or how they spent more time together than a average student/teacher would, I wonder if she’d realise. Goddamn Celestia why did you never tell her 🤦🏼‍♀️

Goddamn Celestia why did you never tell her

I'm not gonna say too much on this, 'cause all of it is future plot points that I've already got plans (in one case there's a full scene sketched out already) about this story arc, but minor spoilers if you want 'em ('minor' in that I've already started teasing them):

  • Sunset's got a bit of a blind spot when it comes to her relationship with Princess Celestia. You point out the extra "mom" vibes from the princess and she'll just wave it off 'cause she doesn't realize the princess is treating her any different than any other pony would be treated in her position. (In fairness, she's kinda right, but what she's not seeing is Celestia is incredibly particular about who she takes on as a personal student, as evidenced that she doesn't take another student after Twilight "graduates" and the pair have a canonical "mom/daughter"-esque moment in S07E01 ("Celestial Advice") where Celestia reveals her VERY MOM-LIKE reaction to Twilight leaving the nest. Basically, Sunset and Twilight are sisters in everything but name but they're both so socially oblivious they can't see it unless smacked upside the head with it :rainbowwild:)
  • Princess Celestia would love to tell Sunset, but she'd rather her daughter be alive. End of ch. 2 drops hints that there's something bigger going on that Celestia needs to be able to deal with in order to be able to reveal that relationship to Sunset and the rest of the world, and Sunset kinda threw a wrench in the works by leaving the planet

The only time I heard about Omegaverse stories is through Lindsey Ellis' video and I'm sure as hell not touching that with a hundred mile pole. Not to mention I just don't like the theme.

Anyway good luck on your story. Have fun.

11151948
Oof, yeah, had to look that up...
Is Lindsay Ellis in trouble? Learn about her Omegaverse lawsuit - FilmDaily.co

Not surprised I missed this, I skip most v-tubers and talking heads (personal preference, they usually kinda bore me...though I'm surprised I missed this one if the Legal Eagles guy was part of it).

I'm bummed that you're not going to check it out at this time, but I never take down my stuff, so if you come back later and decide you want to give it a go, it'll be waiting for you. :raritywink:

I was going to lay down. I was.

Then this was updated.

i wonder if they'll need to add gems into sunsets diet soon? if my guesses on the origin of that transformation are correct.

Uh oh, Celestia’s getting attached already… I think Luna would remind Celestia that Sunset is someone’s or (somepony) else’s daughter. I have a feeling Luna has already guessed the truth

Well that's unexpected. What else happens when an alpha is in rage? Because that looks considerably more dangerous than enhanced reflexes, strength and natural weapons :twilightoops:

This is going to get really awkward when Sunset meets her mom again :rainbowlaugh:

Spoiler tags for minor spoilage:

This is going to get really awkward when Sunset meets her mom again :rainbowlaugh:

This is a thing that's already kinda plotted out in the story, so definitely keep an eye out for it.

I have a feeling Luna has already guessed the truth

(human)Luna won't have, but will feel kinda stupid when they do find out. She has the disadvantage of:

  1. Never having met the princess, and
  2. Being too reliant on scent signatures to make the connection

11152533
Separate topic is separate:

Well that's unexpected. What else happens when an alpha is in rage? Because that looks considerably more dangerous than enhanced reflexes, strength and natural weapons :twilightoops:

Not much more than already mentioned, aside from an increased chance of going feral (more on that later in the story). Sunset is a special case, obviously.

By the way, gotta aprove the implied AppleDashery & RD as an Omega, likely bratty, fits her to a T :rainbowlaugh:
Won't deny I expected a full reversal with Fluttershy, putting her as an alpha, but I do agree it's very much not what one would expect of her.

Oh, yes. Rainbow is a bratty bottom and I've only ever read ONE fic that could convince me otherwise.

As far as Fluttershy goes, I don't know why more people don't see her as a soft Domme, especially given all her traits that point straight at that archetype. Does (canon, pony)Fluttershy have more anxieties than a whole flock of submissive brats with a praise kink? Absolutely. Is (canon,human)Fluttershy a bag of insecurities and sass that most people miss because she's so reserved? Undoubtedly. But BOTH canon representations of her character have A Point Which One Does Not Cross, or Momma Shy Isn't Mad, She's Just Disappointed..

11152543
It was worth it though. All that cuteness. Ugh. So worth.

I'm not usually a fan of Alpha/Beta/Omega dynamics, but there are a few lampshades and subversion in here that help me enjoy this story! Good on EQG Celestia in this AU for laying down the law, too!

11152822
It says something about the genre that just basic world-building so that everything is logically consistent with a functional world/ecosystem/culture/etc. would be considered subverting the genre. And yeah, don't get me wrong, I'm mostly interested in the "subversion" stuff, too, mostly because I always feel smut for its own sake is just such a waste of story.

11152829
Thank you. Honestly, you're a good writer and I love this.

Smut for the sake of smut can be indeed dull.

it'swhyifollowanAApornwithplotficonanothersite

Got me interested. Added to my read list. Looking forward to reading more of this story. :twilightsmile:

Dumb question.
Do you have an idea on when chapter 4 will be ready?

11167077
Once I get LLW Ch. 13 out (goal of by end-of-week this week), Deviation Ch. 4 (and ch. 5, too!) should be out within the next two weeks of that.

I got the message before that the reason Celestia hid the truth from Sunset was Unicorn supremacist's, but I tend to dig into subtle things of stories I'm reading so may that was just me. but he a war path meeting was fun to read.

Great chapter.

It's always so hard when you finish a chapter and have that "There's not more?" Feeling.


I say that because god I wanted to keep reading. ;-; I really enjoy this story.

11175518
Well you're in luck, I have a second one queued up and just about to be posted. :twilightsmile:
