And um I'd like to hear your thoughts on A/B/O Sam, Dean for uh science reasons.
I was thinking specifically of Sam and Dean in my omega!Jo verse. There, all a/o guys are alphas, and all women are omegas, and it's the a/o people who have magical capabilities and form the hunting community (and the witch/mage community, not to mention lots of loner off-shoots). And then there are the betas, who are genetically distinct (although compatible in terms of reproduction).
So Sam and Dean are a/o via Mary and the Campbell side, but John is a civilian, pure beta. (I wrote this long before 8.10, obvs). He gets pulled into the hunting life via tragedy, as happens sometimes, but as a beta he's always something of an oddball in the hunting community, which tends to be pretty insular. And so he raises his boys as betas, as normal guys, because that's what he is, and that goes counter to the standard alpha conditioning. So Sam and Dean, despite being alphas, are actually missing a lot of the general alpha misogyny and ickiness towards omegas. It's one of the reasons Jo likes them so much - they treat her like a person, which isn't all that common with alphas. (Although not unheard of; Garth's a pretty solid guy, which is why he's her heat buddy, and also there's Rufus, whom Ellen married just after Bill died. It's seriously not safe for an omega to live alone without the protection of an alpha, and Rufus was willing to be that for her and Jo.)
