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
Yunho is beautiful. Mingi has known that since the moment they met. She isn't blind. But this… this is something else entirely. The girl on her screen doesn't look like the girl who eats ramen at the convenience store at two in the morning. She isn't the one who binges Spiderman and falls into Mingi's side when she laughs. No, this girl is… alluring? Sultry? That train of thought comes to a halt when Yunho tilts her head to expose her neck and suddenly Mingi knows exactly how to describe her.
Mingi's recently acquired best friend is sexy.OR: A collection of times Mingi was horrifically down bad for her best friend.

Summary
In a world in which humans and vampires live side by side, Seonghwa is a struggling human desperate for a steady income and a roof over his head. He applies to be a personal feeder for a vampire, to serve as a constant supply of blood and nothing more. However, he does not anticipate being assigned to the head of the most powerful coven in the area, Kim Hongjoong.
Seonghwa has never had a home, but he begins to find one in the least likely of places, discovering that Hongjoong and the vampires within his coven are kinder than most of the humans he’s encountered in his life. But humans look down on feeders, and Seonghwa catches the eye of many vampires as he becomes a permanent fixture at Hongjoong’s side.
He isn’t safe from anyone, humans or vampires alike, and when disaster strikes he finds himself more entangled with Hongjoong and his coven than he had ever expected.

Summary
"What the fuck is your problem?"
Objectively, if Yeosang had the presence of mind to actually give it some thought, he'd say it's the whole situation; that him being forced to stand beside someone who highlights all his imperfections simply by existing is excruciating on many levels. But he's stressed, and San's concern sounds a whole lot like a jab in his shame-induced paranoid state, so instead he just turns to him like he stands a chance.
"You are." The fire in the other's eyes only spurs him on. There's some sick catharsis in getting a reaction out of Mr. Sunshine, he thinks without words. "You're my fucking problem. Stop embarrassing me."
-
When a new model seems to steal the spotlight whenever he goes, Yeosang is left feeling like he can't compete.
But maybe things are a bit more complex than that.
