J2 Historical/Royalty AU- Found!

[westie-fan757.livejournal.com]

So I reread fufaraw's Hostage (an amazing fic and author that I highly recommend looking into!!) the other day, and I remembered reading about a fic that was similar (or possibly inspired by Hostage). For the life of me I can't remember the title or author, but I believe their blog was on livejournal.

The fic was a historical au, and I think it was also a/b/o with alpha!Jensen and omega!Jared.
Jensen was a prince from a foreign land who falls in love with Jared. They both attended school/college together in Jared's country where they fell in love. When Jensen proposed to Jared he was refused; Jensen thinks it might be because he is foreign, and that maybe their relationship was an elaborate hoax. Years later Jared is travelling in Jensen's kindom and Jensen figures out a way to make Jared marry him in revenge for his humiliation. Jensen then learns that the reasons why Jared refused his proposal may not be as cut and dry as he thought.

Any ideas or leads to the author or fic would be appreciated!! Or some recommendations to similar fics!

Hi, and thanks for the rec, I'm happy you liked Hostage. There's a WIP at the moment that sounds very much like the story you describe, phoenix1966's The Golden Cage. She also updates on both LJ and Tumblr, and she posts updates weekly.

Jared's family has never hidden that they hate him for being an omega. They think it makes him weak and his existence dishonors their family. When they discover that the king's son is looking for a mate they jump at the chance to rid themselves of Jared and increase their social standing. They believe that something good should come from the blight on their lives.
Jared is anything but weak. He is intelligent and strong, not to mention that he isn't small. His siblings have taken great pleasure in informing him what the rest of his life is going to be like. Jared can expect to be barefoot and pregnant, his only purposes in life to service his mate's sexual needs and to provide him with heirs. They even suggest he will never be allowed to leave his mate's bedroom. Jared refuses to allow this to happen and vows to himself that he won't go down without a fight.
He's completely unprepared when the king's alpha son Jensen treats him like something precious and is interested in actually getting to know Jared better. Jared is wary, convinced that this is some sort of trick and Jensen will turn on him any second and treat Jared exactly as Jared's siblings said he would.

This does sound similar to the story I'm currently working on, as fufaraw mentioned. It is a fill for an spnkink_meme posting. I haven't read Hostage yet, only so I don't ball up my story and toss it in the wastebasket.

It is an AU where a small percentage of men are carriers, though, and not a/b/o dynamics. It is set in 1853 and takes place in Qatar, with flashbacks to their time in London and Somerset.

Your story was the one I was looking for- a while back I had been reading some of your other works and saw a post about the new story you were going to start writing, but I didn't bookmark it. I'm really excited to start reading it- I love historical AUs!

Here, here, none of that. I was just marveling the other day to someone about how lovely and *dense* your story is, with physical sensation, the weight of breath in the lungs, the precision of detail, how lovingly you describe not only emotion, and the environment, but the people--even those just noted in passing, giving them dimension and realism with just a few words. It's a truly amazing fic that's set perfectly in its time period.
