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!

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.
