Summary
“And besides, we lovers fear everything”
― Ovid, MetamorphosesSeonghwa is a former prince whose kingdom was annexed by the empire five years ago. During the fall of his kingdom, Seonghwa is taken prisoner and brought to the capital as a gladiator, forced to compete in the brutal games put on by the emperor. He becomes the most popular fighter. The people call him the hand of Mars, but his strength in battle is only fuelled by one thing: the wish to take revenge for his people, his country. When the young emperor makes him his private guard, Seonghwa sees an opportunity.
Behind the facade of the cruel emperor, however, lies a human being with a fear of intrigue and treason. Emperor Hongjoong hopes that Seonghwa’s protection will bring him something more than just safety.
What will Fortuna have in store for them?
A Matz AU set in a fictional version of the Roman Empire, ca. during the Julio-Claudian dynasty.

Summary
“Do you think there’ll be anything left?” Seonghwa rolled onto his side, studying the rise and fall of Hongjoong’s chest. “After the war, I mean.”
“I doubt it,” Hongjoong said. He was close enough that Seonghwa could see the pores in his cheek, the faint stubble along his jaw.
“Maybe the rain will destroy what the war doesn’t,” Seonghwa whispered, “and it’ll just be us left.”
Hongjoong’s gaze dropped to his mouth.
“Maybe, pretty boy.”
—

Summary
The others call it favoritism, but Seonghwa calls it survival. If the most dangerous man in the city wants to spoil him, he isn’t stupid enough to refuse.
At least that’s what he tells them.
Because sometimes, when Hongjoong’s eyes follow him across the stage, when he fucks Seonghwa, breaks him like he is his, he lets himself imagine it’s something else. Something that means more than what they have been doing for the past two and half years in the confines of that private suite.
Or;
Seonghwa is a struggling college student working at a café. That is until he meets a stranger in an alleyway who gives him an opportunity he cannot refuse.
What Seonghwa doesn't expect is to get tangled with the dangerous leader of Busan's most powerful organized crime syndicate in the process.

Summary
"If you were the last living creature left on earth, I still wouldn’t fuck you, Mr. Napoleon… Rest assured." Seonghwa spat, and Hongjoong let out an amused scoff; like this whole thing was nothing more than a game to him.
And maybe it really wasn’t.
“Good to know. If that day ever comes, I’ll make sure to die before you ask, Angel face.”
⊹.݁˖.݁༉‧₊˚.
Seonghwa wasn’t supposed to end up marrying the man who shattered his heart two years ago. He wouldn’t make the same mistake twice.
Except he did.
And now, knee-deep in the pile of shit he swore he’d never walk into again,
What could possibly go wrong?
