(Anonymous) 2022-12-11 12:20 am (UTC)(link)It's not just feminizing the omega, it's making the alpha tall, giving him abs when he's physically strong but very wiry arms with a soft middle, claiming his hands are big when we've SEEN his hands and they're NOT... like, let him look unimposing! Let his alpha-ness come as a surprise based on his looks, let there be a non-traditional element!

(Anonymous) 2022-12-11 12:42 am (UTC)(link)D/s has always been the closest to hitting my kink buttons, I'm sad it's not really a thing anymore (at least in my fandoms).

(Anonymous) 2022-12-11 02:22 am (UTC)(link)However, finding D/s AU fics that work for me has always been more of a struggle, because generally the sub really does need to submit, and I hate that. What makes ABO work for me is that, in the ABO fics I enjoy, the Omega isn't controlled by their biology. They aren't weak or soft or submissive, regardless of what the world might think, and they have suppressants they can take when they don't want to experience their heats. Whereas with the D/s AUs I've read, the sub needs to sub, or they fail to thrive. It doesn't matter whether they want to; they need to. Also, in most of the D/s AUs I've read, a strong Dom can make a sub obey, regardless of what the sub wants. Which makes me absolutely enraged on behalf of the sub.
I'm open to D/s AUs, but I almost never find ones that work for me, because in order for me to enjoy them the sub needs to be able to override any Dom who tries to mess with them, and only sub if and when they choose to.

(Anonymous) 2022-12-11 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)Personally I have a bunch of ideas for D/s AUs that go further than just "Dom is Dom and sub is sub", some of which explore the things you like about A/B/O. The kinky sex is great but I also really want to go into the social and cultural side of it--what does consent mean in the context of a D/s AU, how does X character deal with the fact that he hates being sexually submissive but needs it, what happens when a Dom or sub doesn't get what they need sexually (do they get ill? and if so, what do governments do to make sure everyone can get laid the way they're supposed to?), what happens when there are too many subs for the number of Doms, or too many Doms for the number of subs in the population, what happens when the government makes suppressants illegal because it's "unnatural" (probably a very pertinent analogy you could make with that one)...agh, I have so many ideas and so little time to write them all. :(
I'm sure these are all/mostly fairly commonly explored in A/B/O fic, but I just don't trust any A/B/O fic to not spring m-preg, knotting and feminization on me because that's just...part of the genre, I guess.
