Edited: I have title/author thanks to the comment by jimbobjoe below. We're now wondering if anyone has a saved copy?
Greetings! Looking for a specific story. It was pretty short, if memory serves. AU - Jared is an eligible bachelor of some sort of high station - royalty or high social status, something of that that nature, who marries Jensen. I think the marriage is arranged through Jensen's family, but I think it's the case that Jensen is happy about it rather than something being forced on him, and that Jared asked Jensen for his consent before arranging it with the family. Jared is a considerate, caring partner. It might be alpha/omega?? but one where mates can be chosen rather than being the one-true-mate-for-everyone type. Or it may just be that Jensen is of some lower social strata. In either case, Jensen had grown up knowing that he'd be some sort of more submissive partner, and heavily prepped for what would be expected of him. He's been taught that the partner of his station is supposed to just lie there and take it rather than participating in lovemaking, whereas during the act, Jared becomes frustrated and sad, and assumes that the lack of participation means that Jensen was never really interested in him and only accepted the proposal so he wouldn't hurt Jared's feelings. They sort it out, of course. I think it was set in more of a past context - Victorian era, or maybe something like that? I've come up empty in searches. Any info would be appreciated!
