That doesn't sound like my kind of fic either! I don't recall ever seeing it; I found The Gift now, but I don't think it's that one? I skimmed a couple chapters and Matt speaks and doesn't act like a pet (but I don't love his characterization anyway).
Isn't SP the one we referenced earlier, with Matt broken and getting together with Frank? At least that's how I remember it.
I checked out A Claim now, the premise is nice enough (Matt owned by Marci for a change! They grow up together and bond like siblings! Marci wants to free him but he says no because they plan to win the elections to remove slavery entirely, and it’s better if Marci appears traditionalist like their parents were), but then it's more about Matt meeting his soulmate I think. (And the last chapter is missing.)
