Pros story list - The lads as slaves

[byslantedlight]

So I was wandering around lj friends-of-friends this morning, and I came across a Pros wip (I think it's a wip) where Bodie is being sold as a slave (no specific time specified, but not modern) - The Rough Luck by pushkin666 (great title, too).

Like a good girl I went and added a keyword to prosficindex, and added the story - and then went completely blank and couldn't

Not BDSM mmmm....

Not a great AU fan, so tend to stumble into, rather than look for, slavery stories. There's 'My Brother's Keeper' and 'Catch a Falling Star' which both have Doyle enslaved - but aren't really what you're talking about (I assume).

Breakheart by Jane, is probably closer - it's from the Boys in Chains archive import, but isn't BDSM - apart from the inequality in the relationship. It's fantasy - LOTR style, rather than historical. You may, or may not, know it...

Ah - Catch a Falling Star was in my head as I wrote the post, then I forgot it again! And My Brother's Keeper counts, and then that reminds me of Arabian Nights by Pamela Rose, so that's good!

I'm actually less sure about Breakheart - "Doyle" describes himself as a bondsman rather than a slave, though in practice they're the same thing for the temporary period, at least... I do know the Boys in Chains archive import, and to be honest I'm not entirely happy about it - the people who did it have basically posted stories online without the author's permission. They give a nice little line about trying to contact people for permission, but they're satisfied with posting first and getting permission after, by which time it's too late, the damage has been done to someone who doesn't want it...

But more to the point - I'll add Breakheart and let readers decide!

Thank you!

What about The Hunting? at least part 1.

Oh, I couldn't remember whether Doyle was just a prisoner in this one, or if he was a slave too - but he describes himself as a "bed-slave" doesn't he, so it must be! Thank you!
