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
It’s happened enough times by now that it feels like a running joke. Seonghwa throws out a complaint about never being praised properly. Hongjoong meets it with an easy grin and just enough teasing in his tone to keep it from tipping into anything serious. The members laugh, the staff laughs too, and the moment passes like it always does.
And afterward, Seonghwa leaves everything exactly as it is. He straightens his posture, gathers whatever dignity remains, and pretends—very convincingly, he thinks—that he has absolutely no deeper emotional investment in the situation whatsoever.
Seonghwa tells himself he is above fishing for compliments. This belief lasts right up until Hongjoong is the one withholding them.

When Seonghwa stumbles into the closed shop one night, bleeding and desperate, Hongjoong has a choice: call the police, or help the man he’s been trying to flirt with for months.
