There's another dub-con scenario, one which I've almost never seen in fanfic: the scenario where one partner genuinely has no idea that the other isn't freely consenting to the sex.
I can personally only think of one story I've read that fits this definition (in Sentinel fandom). (I might've read others but they're not coming to mind.) I'm not surprised -- it's partially rare because it's difficult to pull off, I think, but also I think it's rare because (although many people can torment characters six ways from Sunday), that particularly weird kind of mindfuckery is queasily unpleasant and reminds people uncomfortably of things they might have done to others that maybe the others weren't so keen on.
Not, like, rape or anything -- but it's this kind of queasymaking Extreme Sports version of Like That Time I Made My Sister Watch Aliens With Me.
