    Summary

    Dante settled into the worn, faded cushions of the seat, a soft chuckle escaping his lips as he glanced at his brother. “Do you remember what we used to do as kids?” he teased, his eyes twinkling with nostalgia.
    Vergil's face contorted into one of absolute revulsion, his lip curling in disdain. He pierced Dante with a sharp, contemptuous gaze that seemed to dismiss the very notion. “Absolutely not, Dante,” he retorted, his voice dripping with irritation. “I will not engage in such a ridiculous charade,” he spat.

    Vergil excels at many things. Fatherhood isn't one of them. When Dante suggests they swap places so the elder twin can spend time with Nero during his birthday, it seems like a marginally better plan than raising another demon tower. The catch? Vergil has to maintain Dante's carefree persona while navigating his brother's chaos of lifestyle and questionable fashion choices. As for everyone else? They're either completely fooled or enjoying the show too much to say otherwise.

    Summary

    Leave it to Dante to leave him behind with an outstanding mission—not just any mission, but one that gets him trapped in a time warp with his rigid father.

    Nero's eyes widened as he realized what had happened. "Dante?" he asked the younger man, his voice laced with disbelief.
    The young man's lopsided grin widened. "I guess I am that popular, huh?" he replied, a mischievous twinkle in his eye.
    Oh, he didn't get paid enough for this.

    Caught between this family drama and various versions of his uncle, Nero is tested as he tries to bridge the gaps, heal old wounds, and prevent the fragile peace they've forged from being shattered beyond repair. It's daunting, but Nero is determined to see through for the sake of the ragtag family he's come to cherish.

    Summary

    When she closed her eyes she could almost pretend she was safe. The harsh snap of a nearby twig, however, belied the serenity of what should have been a peaceful morning spent with bare toes in the sand and sunlight caressing her skin.

    Sum: “Vergil,” Dante carefully studied Nero’s expression, “I think your son is getting jealous.”
    *No pairing, just some Sparda family fun.

    Summary

    Vergil’s devil form, curled over The Thing Dante Isn’t Thinking About, crumbles at the edges into blue sparks. He won’t be able to hold it for much longer, but Dante keeps Ebony and Ivory aimed at him — his brother has never needed teeth and talons to be dangerous. Vergil growls at him from somewhere deep in his throat, and it makes Dante’s bones rattle just as much as that awful
    crying.
    The idiot probably thinks it makes him sound all scary and intimidating, and not at all like a horny turtle. Dumbass.
    “What, you don’t feel like talking? ‘Cos I know I have a few things to say, starting with where the hell have you been where did you get the kid?”
    That wickedly sharp tail smashes into the ground, cracking the concrete. Dante is out of its reach, but the message is clear:
    shut up, I hate you.

    Summary

    "The Qliphoth isn’t good at thinking. It’s a tree, albeit demonic, and its innate objectives are quite simple: get a master (usually the first thing it sees once it pokes out from the ground; a biologist would find a surprising amount of common points between Qliphoth and ducks), host them, grow from blood, create a fruit."

    “You again,” Vergil says, voice dripping with disdain as he turns around to see the witch, standing on the platform above him, peering down. “Are you really so desperate for a rematch?”

    or: Nero meets his uncle. Vergil faces down a strangely familiar enemy. Dante's not home right now.

    Summary

    Vincent Cordell, a college student with schizophrenia, doesn’t want to be different. He just wants to lead a normal life, something his condition has never let him have. Voices whisper, walls bleed, eyes sprout in strange places. Getting a degree in electrical engineering is hard enough without worrying about falling into the abyss of his own madness.

    But one dark night, the abyss pulls him in...

    A supernatural entity strikes, and a simple car accident becomes anything but as Vincent finds himself thrust into a majestic, alien world where dragons stand on two legs, living and dying like men. And, thanks to a painful, impossible transformation, he is now one of them, stuck in a body he doesn't even know how to use.

    An ancient evil stirs. Strange storms leave terrors in their wake. The natives of this world think Vincent has the power to save them. But he doesn't want anything to do with them or their myths. Dragons and prophecies are the products of a broken mind...aren't they?

    Summary

    There's making kids and there's having them. It is, surprisingly, not always the same thing. Add to that the fact that nobody ever managed to domesticate the older twin, and the younger is an absolute mess, this is going to be one hell of a trip.

    Some of the oldest scars never had a chance to heal. A little book and a handful of words won't magically fix things, but that's okay. What they puzzle together from the collateral damage of the past might just be a whole lot nicer than anything "normal" out there could ever hope to be.

    Summary

    “I did not betray your confidence,” Snape tells Harry. “The Dark Lord is an accomplished Legilimens, but I am a master of the art of Occlumency. My mind is an impenetrable fortress.”

    “Er… okay,” Harry says.

    He doesn’t know what either of those words mean, but he’s very glad to know that his professor hasn’t sold him out to Voldemort to be tortured and killed.

    Snape regards him for a long moment, his eyes sliding over to the open door of the cupboard. He opens his mouth as if to say something, and then appears to change his mind at the last second.

    “It is nearing lunchtime,” he says instead. “Would you like a sandwich?”

     

    --

     

    It's the summer after fourth year. Harry is still reeling from the events of the graveyard. He is haunted by constant nightmares and stuck at Privet Drive, isolated from all the people who care about him.

    When Dementors visit Little Whinging, Harry suddenly has much more to deal with than painful memories. His removal from Privet Drive leads to an unexpected encounter with professor Snape.

    Jon sets down the paper and shuts his eyes, listening to the gentle whir of the tape recorder.

    He can hear something else. A soft sizzling from the corner of the room, the faint crackle of a dying fire. He ignores it.

    She’s afraid of herself.
    The claws that every night dig into her skin, the glowing yellow eyes.
    She doesn’t know what to make of it, of this feeling. The black pit in her stomach each morning when she wakes after the beast broke inside the walls of her consciousness.

    What is more undoing than a daughter and a son?

    A lesson in vulnerability and acceptance.

    Summary

    Patty Lowell was ready for war.

    She’d arrived with a bucket, a paint bucket, a full retinue of sponges, a mop, three different types of brooms, a bandolier of cleaning solutions, and a vacuum slung over her shoulder like a flamethrower.

    “Nice try, Dante,” she said. “I’m here and I’m ready -- and you’d better have an explanation for why you didn’t come to my birthday party!”

    The Dante she finds is...a little different.

    When Kyrie goes missing, Nero goes on a desperate search to find her. Unfortunately, Dante and Vergil go too. Lots of Sparda boys shenanigans, fighting demons, a smattering of family drama, and male bonding. Otherwise known as Nero's worst nightmare. Set a few years post-DMC 5

    Now complete! Chapter 9, Epilogue: How to Lose a Fortune in 10 Days, in which the Spardas get a (sort of) happy enough ending.
