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
“They said I lied,” Hongjoong said, remembering the looks on the guards faces, the way one of them had punched him in the gut and threatened to make him regret lying.
“Did you?” omega asked. There was no curiosity in the voice, like he was asking the question just to entertain Hongjoong or be polite, not because he actually cared for the answer.
He grinned. “Well, yeah. Had I told them that I’m a pirate and I actually had robbed the facility moments ago, I’d be heading straight to the gallows.” Getting hanged really wasn’t in his plans that day. “Are you going to tell me what landed you here?”
“They say,” the voice replied, mimicking his tone, “I stabbed someone.”
“Did you?”
“If I did,” the omega said, “he was a nasty alpha and deserved it.”OR: Hongjoong meets Seonghwa in a prison cell. They're supposed to part the moment they've escaped, but life, as it happens, has other plans. Having a deadly omega on his ship might be the worst and best thing that ever happened to him.

Summary
“Where is your Luna, Hongjoong?” The king inquired, his voice carrying across the hall.
Seonghwa, who had been watching with curiosity, felt a flicker of intrigue at the question. Yes, it was necessary for Alphas to arrive with their Lunas, especially to events such as this.
The Alpha did not hesitate as he replied.
“That’s what I’m here for.”
Seonghwa blinked, his thoughts suddenly thrown into disarray. Here for what?
The Dragon king seemed equally intrigued. “Oh? Are you participating in the Mating Flight as well?”
“Yes.”
