Summary
A self-satisfied grin breaks across Shido’s face as he addresses Akira. “Omega.”
The King’s voice cuts across the din, and the chatter around them falls into a hush. Akira exhales loudly through his nose and returns his glare back to Shido, chin held defiantly high.
He knew. Somehow, that bastard knew.
“A rebellious Omega is a troubling one,” Shido continues, “A rebellious Omega that thinks he can steal from the Northern Court is a dangerous one. A liability I cannot afford, nor have the time to deal with. For your crime against the Crown, I hereby sentence you to death.”
A Thief is caught stealing from the Northern King, and is sentenced to death for his crimes. The Alpha Prince intervenes, but at what cost to them both?

Summary
“Oh? So if I miraculously succeeded and escaped to the Southern Realm, you’re saying you might actually miss me?” Akira teases.
Warmth flares across Goro's face, and he’s grateful he can blame it on the heat of the water as long as he commits to his mask. “Don’t get ahead of yourself,” he warns him, looking away again and up at the ceiling.
Goro Akechi does not do sentiment, even for stupidly attractive, off-putting men. If Akira Sakura is the same way, then they shouldn't have a problem getting through the next... however long together. All they have to do is tolerate each other, maybe even become friends. It'll be fine.
It's not like they're destined to be anything else, right?
After being forced to bond as a punishment, Prince Akechi and his new Omega, Akira Sakura, navigate their developing relationship. It doesn't go smoothly.

Summary
All of this is biology, is nothing, is their hormones and cravings and the illusion of compatibility creating the shadow of happiness on the walls of the Northern Fortress. There is no happy ending for them; there is no world where they are anything but desperate and terrified and starving on crumbs of peace thrown at them by the jeering specter of his father.
They’ll try.
They’ll fail.
They’ll die.
It’s as simple as that.
There’s a lump in Goro's throat, large and tight as he presses impossibly closer to Akira. Foolish. Idiotic. If only he was smart enough to not want more from this losing game of chess they were trapped in.
Even after spending time apart, tensions remain high between the Prince and the Thief. New challenges approach, and they’ll have to reconcile their differences if they want to make it through the coming winter.

Summary
Dear Goro,
I have read and reread your letter far too many times to count. I've started and restarted writing this letter as many times, if not more. There's so much I need to tell you, that I've been meaning to tell you, but the timing was never right. I know that sounds like an excuse, but I had my reasons for not mentioning this sooner. Reasons I hope you can come to understand. I’m so sorry I couldn’t figure out what to say, or how to say it, sooner.
I should have. I know that.
