Well, now you've done a very unclever thing by introducing this "mate or die" thing. First of all, no wonder Omegas are rare if they up and kick the bucket whenever some haughty bastard of an Alpha decides they are not appropriately pleased.

Second, you've killed any chance for real emotional intimacy to develop between the characters if Charlus is driven purely by the instinct to not goddamn die. It's like instant Stockhome Syndrome, just add moondew!

WTF is moondew, anyway? Off-brand Mountain Dew? Does Charlus smell like lemon-lime soda and a basement full of sweaty, desperate nerds?

*snerk* See, I can't even take this seriously anymore. You lose. Good day, sir/madam/starfish.

(( I Googled moondew, just on the principle of knowing what I was talking about. Apparently it's a plant from the Harry Potter video games. How 'bout that. Still sounds silly enough to deserve a little mockery, though. ^_~

(( Oh, and speaking of Stockholm Syndrome, "Thanks! I hate it" refers to Lindsay Ellis' video essay on the live-action Beauty and the Beast. Good stuff; I recommend it. Also her twothree-part breakdown of the Hobbit films.
