Hi all----
I've been totally inactive in the Supernatural fandom for a few years (got married, had a baby, took a full time job, still working on the dissertation, you know----the usual), but after rewatching some of the early seasons, I'm trying to get back in. And I have lost. Everything. All of my favorite stories, all of the stories I was watching, all of my favorite authors----you name it.
One of the stories I'm trying to find is a Jeff / Jensen slavery fic. If I remember correctly, Jensen was taken (as a child) from his family to pay for a family member's medical bills. He's trained in some celebrity's house (Tom Cruz, maybe?), and ultimately, Jeff buys him. Jensen has totally bought into the whole slavery mind set----he's all about being the "perfect slave," etc. Little does he know that the house he was bought into is actively undermining the slavery system.
A few very specific details: Jensen's afraid of dogs because he was hurt by one years ago, which left him too "flawed" for the original celebrity owner to love; Jensen and Jared are sent to purchase a horse, and Jensen thinks he's been "ordered" to sleep with Jared, does, and finds out that wasn't the intention; Jeff refuses to have sex with Jensen because of the power dynamics in the relationship----but Jensen is already in love with him, and is terrified that if he and Jeff aren't having sex, he'll be sold again; etc.
If I remember correctly, it was a pretty "famous" (fandom wise) fic that spawned a huge number of off-shoot fics.
I know this is probably really, really obvious, but I've been looking for AGES already and cannot, for the life of me, remember what this was. Thank you!
