SPN Fic: The Heart Must Yield (Masterpost)
Title: The Heart Must Yield
Author: deirdre_c
Pairing: Jared/Jensen
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 41,500
Summary: Jensen was just a common knight of the King's Guard, astonished to be named as Warden to young Jared, a cast-off son of one of the realm's great houses. Jared had been compelled to leave the monastery where he was stashed as a child to take on the title of Lord Padalecki after the unexpected death of his father. Jensen’s duty was to escort Jared to the royal court so that he could select a cousin from among the warring noble families to marry as a condition for his inheritance.
Once they were enmeshed in the intrigues of the Court, Jensen realized he’d fallen unconscionably in love with his Ward. Yet while Jensen was bound by honor to urge Jared into the arms of another, it turned out Jared had other plans.

Author's Notes and Acknowledgments: Eternal thanks go to my betas, the omniscient cherie_morte (she knows everything, Jon Snow! she also has great hair!) and the wonderfully wise and generous electricalgwen who actually combed through this in between continents. Both of them went above and beyond the call of duty, and my gratitude to them could fuel a small city for several years. Thanks as well to the brilliant tebtosca for help with the title when I was floundering, and to my gang of email loopers (#TeamProcrastination!) without whom I’d never get a Big Bang written. Please go praise the work of my sweet artist, uh_tiramisu. I’m thrilled she’s been so enthusiastic about the story and eager to make it beautiful. Finally, huge appreciation to wendy for being a mod second-to-none and making this challenge one of the best in all fandom. ♥
