Another DMC Christmas fic leftover I gave a little polish to toss in the scrap bin:

Decorating the Christmas tree was, unsurprisingly, a chaotic affair. Nero was doing his best to wrangle the three adopted kids, each of whom seemed determined to hurl anything shiny and sparkly directly at the tree. Or at him, it hardly mattered to them.

Dante and Vergil had taken up supervisory roles—or at least, that’s what Dante liked to call it. He was sprawled across the sofa, looking disproportionately pleased with himself after what he considered an unprecedented amount of effort in setting up the tree in its stand. Meanwhile, Vergil sat rigidly at the opposite end, his expression that of a bored king surveying the trivial on-goings of the court.

Eventually, the tree’s lower layers became a tangled masterpiece of color, glitter, and crooked ornaments. The top half, however, remained bare, frustratingly out of reach for the kids. This just wouldn’t do.

Calling upon his spectral arms, Nero hoisted the children one by one, guiding them as they gleefully reached to place ornaments higher up. It worked, mostly. With three kids and only two sets of arms, one child was always left out of the fun, which inevitably led to pouting and complaining.

“Fine,” Nero grumbled, realising this was getting out of hand even for him. “Dante, get off your lazy bum and help.”

Dante stretched theatrically, leaning further into the couch cushions. “Naaah, I’m wiped. Setting up that tree was no joke, y’know?”

“Bullsh—oes,” Nero muttered through gritted teeth.

Dante ignored him entirely, instead turning to Vergil. “Hey, Verge, you’re up.”

Vergil froze, caught off guard as one child’s wide, expectant eyes locked onto him, arms outstretched and ready to be picked up. Meanwhile, Nero’s sharp glare drilled into him, a silent warning laced with skepticism. It was no secret that Nero didn’t entirely trust Vergil—especially when it came to the kids. Predictably, Dante seized the opportunity for mischief, giving his twin a none-too-gentle shove off the sofa.

Vergil hesitated, but the unspoken challenge in Dante’s smirk left no room for refusal. Surely, this was a simple task, he reasoned.

As he approached, Kyle began bouncing on his heels, arms outstretched in eager anticipation. Vergil leaned down, scooped him up… and, with all the grace of a man handling an unfamiliar object, held him by the leg, dangling him upside down like a grocery bag.

“What the hell are you doing?!” Nero hissed, his spectral arms twitching in disbelief.

“Assisting,” Vergil replied evenly.

“You’ll drop him—”

But Kyle’s delighted giggles drowned Nero out. “This is so fun!” he squealed, swaying his arms wildly to hang an ornament on a high branch.

The other two kids immediately began clamoring to be held the same way.

“Yeah, it’s fiiine,” Dante drawled, strolling up to join Vergil. Without hesitation, he plucked one of the kids from Nero’s arms and flipped them upside down with an exaggerated flair. “Our dad used to hold us like this whenever we decorated the tree.”

Vergil turned his head sharply, narrowing his eyes at Dante. “He absolutely—”

“Sure did!” Dante interrupted with a broad grin, waving off any protest.

Even as a man with fragmented memories, Vergil knew nonsense when he heard it. Sparda had never held them upside down during tree-decorating—or any activity, for that matter. Clearly, Dante was trying to smooth over any tension between him and Nero.

The children’s delighted giggles were infectious, and Nero finally relaxed. Resigned to the absurdity, he flipped the kid he was holding upside down, mimicking the twins’ ‘method’. “Only you two could come up with this,” he muttered.

And so, the three Spardas stood around the Christmas tree, each holding a child upside down as they decorated the Christmas tree. It was chaotic, unconventional and downright ridiculous. But such was the Sparda way.

#dmc #devil may cry #nothing like the mental image of Vergil holding a child upside down and as far as possible like they're radioactive #Dante covering for Vergil like a true bro while thinking 'what the hell is wrong with you'#scrap bin #fanfic scrap #dmc vergil #dmc dante #dmc nero #dante sparda #vergil sparda

I finished Xenoblade X again today and... wow.

OK so, I played Xenoblade X for the first time last year in a marathon of Xenoblade 1, X, and 2, and honestly, compared to 1 & 2, I didn't enjoy it as much. It was the only one I didn't really know much about going in. I felt like it had a lot of good parts, but I hadn't any idea what I was doing because the game has literally no tutorials and I ended up stumbling through the game when I wasn't able to use my Skell, so I just didn't have as much fun with it compared to the trilogy.

However, after finishing Xenogears and the Xenosaga Trilogy, I thought it would be a good idea to give X another shot as a nice way to bookend playing the Xeno series, specifically after watching some guides and learning how the combat actually works (Thanks Enel)

And, holy shit. Out of every game I've ever played, this and DMC 3 are the ones I'm most glad I gave a second chance. I genuinely could not stop thinking about this game after I started playing again. Before I stopped pretty much as soon as I beat the final boss, this time I went literally all the way and completed the entire Mira Survey. I'm just gonna take this chance to go in and incoherently go off about about all the stuff I have in my head about this beautiful mess of a game.

Ok so the combat. Overdrive, is a completely balanced mechanic that doesn't allow you to completely take the main game’s difficulty and snap it over your knee like a fucking twig. Except it is. Like, it is honestly comical just how trivial almost everything becomes with the right arts on your build. And if you throw really busted arts like Ghostwalker/Ghost Factory or Blossom Dance into the mix, literally nothing can stand up to you bar the literal endgame superbosses, and a big part of that is just because a lot of them, Telethia in particular, are in positions where you literally can't fight them on foot and realistically survive without a highly specialised build. But with that proper build, that probably takes a lot of grinding, you can still beat them fairly quickly, save for Levael The Terminus, because it's literally in the middle of the ocean. All because of this funny counter gear.

Going along with Overdrive, is the amount of customisation this game offers you. Almost every weapon type offers you at least a couple arts that work really well alongside Overdrive. The build I ended up with at the end was a Knife, Dual Gun combination, mainly because Smooth Recovery, is an amazing art for Overdrive, and Black Butterfly and Full Specs are great compliments for an Ether Build with Executioner as the main Damage Art. Yeah sure I ended up using Ghostwalker/Factory like most Endgame builds, but hey that shit is comically busted, and I absolutely love abusing stuff like that, intentional or otherwise. Plus I do enjoy the idea of my Cross, Coraline, using the arts of Irina and Elma, her immediate superior officers in BLADE. Which actually brings me to,

I was honestly surprised at how much thought I ended up putting into my Cross this time around, but it was fun. Not just deciding on a good look both when creating her and finding what gear she'd wear, but also thinking about how her character woukd respond to the situations and dialogue options presented throughout the game. It's to the point that Coraline's basically become my first OC, depending on how you count Milton the Mythrakid I guess, since he's an interpretation of a character we know exists but we haven't seen or heard about. Either way I definitelywant to do more with Coraline. Probably gonna draw her some more as time goes on to get a better feel for the design as well as drawing her skell too just because.

That actually brings me around to the story. I'll be the first to admit that overall X's story falls short compared to the trilogy andveven Gears and Saga but it still has a lot of solid stuff that really git me thinking, in addition to stuff I only picked up the second time around, something Xeno stories have been fantastic with since the beginning with Gears. Obviously spoilers ahead as I talk some notable stuff in the plot

This moment really stuck out for me after simmering on it for a while. Because this idea that memories and the continuation of a person's consciousness are what make them who they are would continue as a prominent thematic plot point in the following games. Xenoblade 2 emphasises it the most heavily with Blades losing their memories with each reawakening, thus they lose their "contuity of consciousness". It's quite literally the central source of conflict for Blades and is everywhere in the main story and side content with characters like Praxis, Theory and Vess. Xenoblade 3 has this too, albeit as a more subtle background element with the Agnian and Kevesi Soldiers effectively being reset upon death as they are reborn, however there are still cases where things slip through the cracks, most notably with Eunie and Ashera. Yet despite that, Monica asserts to Eunie that whatever her past life was, it wasn't her and she didn't make it, all because soldiers simply don't have that continuity of consciousness.

Thinking about it now X has plenty of thematic ideas that 2 & 3 would go on to pull from. Things like a cycle of death and rebirth, something that Blade and NLA are trying to achieve with finding the Lifehold Core. As Lao puts it, they're the lucky ones who can come back as many times as they want. Lao's arc is particularly well done all things considered. A moment early on that stuck out to me was when they were discussing how Lin got her spot on the Whale as a way to repay her parents who were crucial in getting the ship going in the first place. Lao, whether he shows it or not, would have some misgivings about that, and Elma seemingly picks up on that and is quick to point out Lin's own skill were crucial in her getting her spot and that it wasn't just pure nepotism. It's really interesting to see Elma pick up on Lao's misgivings so early. If we do ever get an X sequel, which I do think and hope we will sooner or later, I'll be very curious to see where Lao's character goes from here. Speaking of characters who I really want to learn more about,

Elma is a really interesting character honestly despite the many unanswered questions surrounding her, it just has me more intrigued to learn more about her. The question of what her species and planet are like is one i really want to see explored someday. Funnily enough, 2 actually gave us a breadcrumb of that. Elma has a line when receiving a Seafood pouch item, one of her favourite categories, where she expresses fascination with the concept. "Making meals out of marine lifeforms, fascinating" which I've always taken as her species just straight up not having a concept of seafood. Idk why, it's such a minor inconsequential detail that isn't even from X but I always found that super interesting. Her designs are also two of my favourites in the Xeno series, especially dince they double as subtle references to Kos-Mos and T-Elos. I think I lean a little more towards Alien Elma though, something about the crystal hair is really cool to me.

A few other Miscellaneous things I can think of:

The sidequests are fantastic. While many are a little tedious, they do a really good job of building the world and fleshing out the natures and cultures of the different alien species that come to inhabit NLA.

The Affinity Missions go hand in hand with this, they do a great job of fleshing out all the different party members all the while giving you an avenue to learn their unique abilities. Most of those party members are also really well developed abd mostly compelling characters. Even the most if the ones who seem like assholes at first, like Boze or HB, do get better as their affinity missions progress. They clearly knew it was a great concept as it came back in 2 & 3 with the Blade Quests and Hero + Ascension Quests.

The ost is fucking incredible, I've been adding X music to my personal playlist over the course of my playthrough because there's so much good stuff in it. It's honestly criminal how much you end up missing because the Overdrive and Flight themes override 90% of them.

Skells are incredibly cool and a brilliant way to bring in the concept of mech combat systems from the previous Xeno games.

Phew, I think that's everything I've had to say. I've called out many of this game's flaws in other places and most of that I do still stand by. The game is in desperate need of an actual tutorial and QoL improvements. The game's draw distance can be quite frustrating at times trying to find specific things or characters and getting certain materials can be a really annoying grind, (Neinail Materials), but if you can put up with that there is a hell of a game there. I don't know if I'd consider it better than the trilogy, just because it has more complete stories, but it's quite close.

Overall I'm so happy I gave X a second shot and now I'll definitely be there waiting for a port or sequel. It's easily the most underrated game I've ever played. I'm confident it'll happen at some point but either way I'l likely have more Xeno stuff to play in the meantime if whatever's next is Xenoblade 4.

My reaction to this game.

Thanks so much for your Sparda headcanons (TT o TT) I really hope Capcom does give us more info about him in a later game; heck, even the reboot gave more focus to Eva. Especially since now that Dante was voted most popular Capcom character, it might incentivise them to develop more DMC. It might be foolish, but I do hope he is still alive. Idk if you already said it in your blog, but do you have a voice claim for him? Somehow I imagine him starting out with a posh accent, though it gradually faded over the years, so it wasn't as strong as it was when the twins were born.

You're welcome. Glad someone likes my ramblings.🥰

I think Capcom or rather DMC team is in an awkward place with Sparda. Each installment tells us something about him. Breadcrumbs but no more. He's arguably been pivotal in every piece of media so it's not like Capcom and co have been deliberately ignoring him. So I hope they do reveal more about him, preferably giving him his own game.

Sparda is dead by all accounts. So unless he's resurrected, I don't think retcononing that is right. He's been enacting his will through Dante and Nero. If Capcom retcons him to be alive, it would be a character assassination. So if he's to turn up in a sequel, I prefer it's resurrection or flashbacks.

I don't know where Capcom stands with DMC at this moment. It's a popular franchise and makes them money but we know it's far from being the favorite child. And DMC's chief director, Hideaki Itsuno is doing Dragon's Dogma 2. The DMC future is foggy. I hope Capcom doesn't leave us hanging for years again. Especially with the results of the recent survey.

As for the voice, @saiyanblood2 suggested Crispin Freeman whom you know as Alucard from Hellsing and Hellsing Ultimate. And I do agree with a posh British accent as Redgrave, Sparda's city is based on London structures and Sparda himself is shown in Victorian era garbs. So at least in his last centuries, he sounded British.

BUT I also love the idea of Sparda changing accents over the years. He was a wanderer in canon, met different people, spoke different languages, etc. Those are bound to affect his accent in English.

----- Sybilla's backstory pt.2!

5 years later (in dmc 5), Sybilla, or who now went by the name 'Renate' or 'Renie' for short, was found by Nicoletta Goldstein and Nero, and she ended up hanging around them as a form of support (supporting with her healing powers of course, she doesn't use any of her forms until way later). She forms a bond with Nico and Nero (all platonic), with Sybilla staying in the van for the most part. She has known Nero since she was ten years old, so she was already somewhat familiar with him, Nico was a different story. At this point, she is 15 years old and have grown significantly, also due to the fact that she has a birth defect called "gigantism", making her almost as tall as Nero, only a head shorter than him. Sybilla was approx. 205 cm tall back when she was 40, so she is around 170 cm at 15 years old.

When V joins the team, she was already by his side most of the time, healing him between foes when she could. Though she was thrown off slightly by Griffon and his loud mouth, but she only shook her head at his words and continued to support V in the form of the Healing Hunter ability, knowing how fragile he can be.

Though she was in a different world for now, Sybilla could still hear Nukzeh's commands from literally worlds away. She just doesn't react on it, the voices will haunt her forever at this point, but she pushes through, staying strong and focusing on the present.

When meeting Lady, and Trish, she was uncerntain about them at first, but she warmed up to them pretty fast aswell. She was flexible with people, which was the only good trait she had. She stayed with Lady in the van after she got out of the demon, and also kept her company.

When fighting Urizen, she would distract said demon half the majority of the battle (which was a bad idea, you will see in a second). She ended up getting caught in the crossfire and knocked out of battle, she didn't die, just pretty wounded and stabbed in the torso. As V merged with Urizen and Vergil was back, Sybilla wasn't conscious enough to fully comprehend what was going on. She found herself in the dmc van, bandaged up and laying on the couch, confused about what happened.

As we skip to the fight with Vergil on the top of the Qliphoth tree, that's when Sybilla finally uses her Sar'Hingaro (Ahri'Tahmuk) form to fly up to the top of the tree. And it takes her a while (give her a break, Ahri'Tahmuk is not the fastest flier of all), but before Dante, Nero and Vergil could engage in the fight, she arrives at the top. Though she doesn't land, she glides around the platform, large wings only flapping a few times to gain momentum. The three heads watch over the three confused men, the fight pausing temporarily. The enormous beast that is Sybilla, is peaceful, and doesn't engage with the three, just merely keeping an eye around them and killing off pontential danger.

After the fight was over and Sybilla finished surveying around the tree, the three headed beast landed on the platform of the Qliphoth tree, not even bothering to turn into a human at the moment. It lays down, the three heads resting on the platform as each of them let out steam out of its nostrills from using her light beam so much (the little frills on the noses opened aswell hehe)

Of course, Dante, Nero and Vergil were concerned, not going near the thing because they didn't know that it was Sybilla. After a while though, and with a flash of very bright light, the three headed dragon was gone and there fell a very tired and worn out child onto the ground.

Nero and Dante became concerned, and Vergil was confused. But after making sure that she was alright, the conversation between the three men continued.

After all of this, Sybilla returned into the dmc van, sitting right behind Nico's seat as she was forced to explain herself after what Dante, Nero and Vergil saw (the Ahri'Tahmuk situation). She did explain, every detail, even telling her real name, but asked to be called 'Renate' or 'Renie' still.

Why did they even make the remakes? Was it to 'fix' their current story to reuse the characters to assure more money? Like it an obvious, yes for the money, but what's up with the numbers and surveys? Why wasn't just remaster an option?

The early/mid 2010s were not a good time for Capcom. Like, I know that today, Capcom is one of the most trusted publishers in the AAA space, but that was not the case 10 years ago. 10 years ago, Capcom was what Blizzard is today (you know, without the whole "rape and suicide of female devs" thing)

SF5 released with on-disc DLC to massive controversy.

DMC4 flopped, and then DmC was an absolute disaster, with the director of that game openly trolling fans.

Monster Hunter had gone fully mobile and Capcom stopped releasing it in the West.

They canceled like 3 or 4 Megaman games and let the franchise die an undignified death.

Dead Rising got run into the ground with two horrible releases back to back.

And then RE6 happened.

Fans had been begging Capcom for an RE2 remake since the first REmake, and Capcom's answer has always been "no" "not gonna do it" "not a chance" "you already have Darkside Chronicles" "not now sweetie the grownups are talking" and finally "NO. STOP ASKING."

So, in 2015, when public opinion of the company was in the toilet and Capcom needed to stop the bleeding, Hirabayashi grabbed a hammer and smashed the "IN CASE OF EMERGENCY BREAK GLASS" window and dropped plans for an RE2 remake onto Capcom corporate's desk.

And it actually worked lmao

Hirabayashi's announcement video for RE2make was so sincere and so genuine and so earnest and so exciting that "WE DO IT!!!!!" became a rallying cry across the industry, and everyone forgot for a while just how much they distrusted Capcom. I can't recall a single person going "lmao modern Capcom remaking RE2 LOOOOL"

The RE2make announcement was the start of Capcom's redemption arc. It was something they needed to do to signal to fans "we're listening and we want to do better."

Hi! Can I get a matchup for Devil May Cry

I am female, she/her, 25 years old, bisexual, ENFP.

I am a very ambitious person that loves to learn new things, I am an artist by profession and finished 2 art schools. I am a big art history nerd and love to talk about artsy and philosophical things. I am very extrovert and love to meet new people, I love going out and taking long walks. My main hobbies are video games, writing, reading, watching anime and movies and lifting. I am very friendly, love hearing out other people and I always try to understand their side and how they feel. I am very sensitive and tend to easily get attached to people. Romance wise I struggle to show affection to my partner, however I show it trough gift giving rather than physical touch or trough words. Overall in relationships I am very communicative and will always bring up issues or understand if my partner has issues with me and I will try to fix them always.

Appearance: medium length red hair, a mole above my lip, chubby build and short, pale skin and hazel eyes, 5'2 (I am very short). What I seek in a partner is someone understanding of my issues, I suffer from BPD, anxiety, OCD and depression and it's essential for me to have a partner who is patient and can support me when it gets bad.

Heya!! Sorry it’s been a hot minute, I’ve been working on this gradually since I got the request I hope it’s to your liking c:

Here’s to striking up a new spark!

Matchup loading! ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥

…

your match is…

TRISH!

* Trish admires your character. You’re ambitious, headstrong and well intentioned. There’s something about you that instantly draws her in, and then she can’t turn away. It’s not very often someone is able to catch her attention so much and so quickly. You’re already ticking her boxes with one conversation- although it’ll take a lot longer than one conversation if you want to truly crack her. It’s going to be a slow burn relationship.

* Direct communication is an absolute must for Trish, so you’ve come to the right place. She doesn’t like to imply. She doesn’t like when she has to read what people mean when they say something else. If you want something, ask. If there’s a problem, speak up. She’s not going to take offence to that. She may come off intimidating to strangers, but her heart is good, and even better to those she loves most.

* Trish is calm and patient by nature, but will never overstep her boundaries. She can read you very well once you get close, and she’s not overly the mother type anyway- that’s a stereotype she’s not too fond of being read as. She’s just the perfect amount of caring. No more, no less.

* She’s always got sound advice. She can tell it like it is, but not so bluntly that an unwanted response will come off mean. She’s your rock, she’s here to support you. In return, you support her in her own times of need.

* You’re an extrovert? Now you have a scary dog! Congrats! When I tell you she would let the world BURN for you. If you want protective, you got it.

* Nico most definitely catches you staring at Trish and proceeds to make fun of you for it. Will call you guys things like “lovebirds” and what not.

* Trish has expensive taste and that includes when buying for her lover. Prepare to be spoiled with not only lavish but also the most well thought out gifts ever. And she absolutely adores and treasures anything you give her.

* Philosophical talks are a total go for Trish. She loves to hear you, you love to hear her. She can be quite mature and intellectual so having someone on her level to communicate with is the key.

* Trish can be quite witty, so even if she isn’t the loudest, she can totally gel with the extroverts.

* She uses your artistic talents to her and everyone else’s advantage- by which I mean you decorate the dmc office together because Dante refuses to have an eye for interior design.

* You’ll probably find yourself on a lot of far out missions with her, seeing, surveying and fighting in the new places the gang haven’t been to yet

* Bonus points if you know some background about the history of said place!

* You’re occasionally in charge of a group movie night now, and everyone adores it. Dmc family bonding time!

* Trish is the more affectionate one but she can read the room, so she knows when to lay off if need be.

Happy New Year! I hope you enjoy the surprise!

Hello, everyone! Happy Callender New Year! I hope you spent the first day of the year having fun and making good memories!

Now, I said I have a surprise, and It's time I revealed it! I'm setting up a Discord Server for everyone to join (should you wish to!) It launches on Wednesday, January 3rd of this year! Wow, It's weird to think that it's not 2023 anymore... I hope 2024 is better. A low bar to meet, I know, but if the last few years have proven anything it's that you can always limbo lower lol!

I've been planning this for a looong time now, but I figured that launching it at the start of the year would be a better idea! Several of you asked for something like this in the feedback surveys, so I thought it might be fun! It will be a fun little hub where we can talk about the Soliloquy Saga, chat about DMC in general, and just hang out and have fun! It will also serve as an additional place for me to post updates on things like what time chapters will go up on the days that they are posted, let you know if there are any last-minute cancelations (I hope I have a lot less of those this year!) and post little teasers for things to come! I have a lot of fun plans, so I hope you come and check it out! And of course, it's free! I wish I didn't have to say that, but I know some servers charge fees or whatever, so I probably should!

If you are not into that sort of thing, that's totally fine! Don't do something you don't want to for my sake! This is just something additional that I want to do! But if by any chance you want to check it out, let me know! And of course, I'm looking for feedback on what you would like to see in the future for the stories (and for the server), so let me know! I want to tailor the server to everyone's interests, and above all else, I want everyone to enjoy the stories! That will always be my main priority, so don't worry! Also, if you have any Discord alternatives you would like me to check out or if you have any features you'd like me to add to the server, let me know! I'd love to be able to release little tastes of what I'm working on and just be able to chat with all of you! Also, don't worry, I'm not going to spam you all. I can't stand spam lol! No one wants that.

Anyway, take care and I hope to see you all soon! The first chapter of the year goes up this Friday and the server launches Wednesday! I'm excited to release these next few chapters! They are super exciting! I hope the surprise wasn't lame! Sorry if it was! Take care, celebrate safely, and know that I'm wishing you well! Bye bye!

Dante/Vergil Oneshot

This piece is heavily inspired and referenced from my favorite DMC writer and her ageless and peerless Consanguinity. I immensily recommand to check it out to fully understand the reference and setting behind this little piece. She's the best thing to happen to the DV fandom and the best one to ever give life and voice to Vergil since the devs.

It’s not thundering outside. It’s not even raining and they both just joined their beddings, yet Dante sneaks into his twin brother’s bedroom, under his duvet and next to his body before the latter has even time to warm his bedsheets.

Vergil isn’t fazed. He complements the behavior with a grouse, a peeve or just sigh sometimes—depending on Dante's conduct throughout the day, and other times, he says nothing and welcomes his twin’s habit with a scoot or a hand lifting up the covers.

They’re thirteen now and they outgrew a number of things for a while. Their father’s swords replaced their makeshift ones, their clothes don’t come from the same closet anymore, Vergil doesn’t write his name on his belongings anymore because Dante doesn’t snag them anymore. His favorite books, his favorite toys, his favorite instrument, they’re all things eight years old Dante loved to paw at because his twin is supposed to share everything with him since he’s sharing everything with Vergil.

“We’re twins! What's mine is yours and what's yours is mine!”

(You have all my attention so I want all of yours)

Yes, Dante and Vergil outgrew a number of things now.

But not all.

Dante’s love for firearms for example, Vergil’s love for the violin and Dante’s habit for slipping into Vergil’s bed at night.

It started when they were still infants, whenever it was raining or Dante had a bad dream. Dante would pad to Vergil’s bedroom, creak the door open, Vergil would tip his head up, see his brother’s small silhouette and Dante would slip in next to him, clutch the pillow always there for him and breathe out restfully under the hand patting his hair.

But the pretense of storms or nightmares was dropped for a while now.

At least they outgrew that part.

Something happened a week ago.

Something that will change them forever—but they don't know that yet.

Something that will ascend and descend them to heaven and hell—but later on.

For now, Vergil has poised his lips on Dante’s one cidery-redolent autumn evening, amidst the fallen apples and leaves at the edge of the garden, after Dante lost a sparring with their father's swords.

The world, the life, the ecosystem Dante knew and would know altered off their axis - forever.

“You are not my enemy. You’re my brother and I am yours. So let it be for once, Dante.”

Now Dante burrows into Vergil’s duvet; the little ritual reenacting itself after a week of abstinence and slight avoidance.

His brother rambles about something for a good time. Vergil allows the droning sound of his hushed timber with a resting pout as it shall transport him to the realms of Morpheus soon, he knows. Dante's voice is never more pleasant than when it's under the obligation of quietness.

But his little brother seems more fussy than usual as he doesn’t only burrow into the duvet and sheets but snuggles closer and closer, until he’s comfortable enough to reveal his ploy by kissing Vergil’s lips all at once. “That’s payback for earlier by the way,” he lowly states when he pulls back.

It’s just a peck. Chaste and chary like the boy who's just delivered it if the way Dante’s quick withdrawal is anything to judge by.

“Dante.”

“This way I know I’ll have the upperhand before the day’s over.”

“... What?”

“For pushing me in mom’s favorite flower bush earlier. I know you’ll be too scared to get back at me this way.”

It’s true. Vergil hasn’t tried to touch the forbidden fruit ever since he took a bite; but as everyone knows with that particular tale, the damage was already done.

Vergil quietly surveys his brother lying next to him; his shimmering profile bathed in the tender light of the moonrise, his cocky statement betrayed by evasive eyes, a smirk that can’t stop twitching and fists that fidget around the duvet.

Vergil sees all this endearing beauty and it doesn’t deplete the chagrin brimming in his pale, blue eyes, for beneath those still, arctic lakes simmer a blue fire—and isn't it the hottest part of a flame? The part that burns so readily and intensely? So enduringly and devastatingly…

“You’re right. I’m scared.”

Dante is all haughty and winsome when he replies, “Tsk, I knew it.”

“I’m scared to hurt you if I do something similar.”

Dante whips his head in a scramble of flaxen white strands and stares at Vergil with a dent between his brows. He states matter-of-factly, “You’ll never hurt me.”

“You don’t know that.”

“I do. You’ll never hurt me. And even if you do, I think it’s gonna be a good hurt.”

Vergil’s silver eyebrow cocks up. “A good hurt?” What is his brother saying? Is he even aware of what he's doing?

Dante leans close–closer, one hand slipping under the expensive silk of the pillow, the other balled in a fist against his bottom lip.

Pain in pleasure and pleasure in pain, that’s what his brother’s probably trying to convey in his plain, homespun words.

Vergil had come across the concept in a few poems. Or Perhaps he’s guilessly alluding to the clattering thrill they feel every time they viciously spar - these secret quivers felt as if standing upon the verge of imminent peril—and loving it.

This dark pleasure domesticated after learning they were unable to kill each other.

Right. ‘A good hurt.’

“Yeah, ‘m just saying, I dunno," Dante fumbles with a pout now. "What I mean is I'm not scared of anything… and I trust you.”

What Dante doesn't understand is that it's not about the quintessential ways of being scared or hurt. Vergil - in his visionary sense beyond his youthful age - is foreboding that thinning the fabric of their strong bond to a translucent premise will cause hurt where they usually feel those secret quivers in combat - in that deep, deep solemn place where affection and affliction are born and bolstered.

Dante is so fiery. When he loses, when he bites the dust and time’s up, he gets this ardent look in his eyes that threatens to consume his own vision.

Helping him off the ground, hands clutched and unwilling to let go, Vergil pitching Dante forward to break the impasse was the mistake.

He took him off guard, yes. Dante caught himself short of his face and looked even more accusatory, yes. But something in his eyes changed. The ardent look subsided, replaced by something searching and… unknown.

But it was too quick for Vergil to know what it was - the moment but fleeting seconds and insufficient to decipher something as fickle as his dear little brother.

And his little brother was so fickle, for after the fire and the caesura, came the void.

Vergil is used to seeing himself reflected in the flames of those eyes. Has felt himself burned and consumed in them time and again like a fort meant to be conquered. But that day, in that fleeting moment where Dante was pitched short of his face, Vergil saw himself burn to a crisp in his brother’s gaze.

No fort anymore. Just barren soil; and he felt his chest tighten like never before, for it was a deep sense of loss and small, lovely Vergil never knew what that is, even with their father still not back home.

In his introspection, Vergil forgot that he left Dante hanging, but he knows not to worry too much about that as his roguish brother always finds the best ways to draw his attention.

"I kissed Evelynn the other day."

Vergil's brow twitches.

With eyes glazed by tiredness and apathy, he let out a small “Oh.”

Dante shrugs. "Yeah. ‘twas nice," he marks a pause on purpose, making sure his brother either meets his eyes or at least grasp the full impact of his next words. But his twin doesn't meet him in the eyes so Dante lets the bomb drop in an undertone, "but not as nice."

It's enough to drag Vergil's placid gaze all the way up their mirror image - but he stays silent. Dante is trying to rattle him and the fact’s as clear as his blue eyes. Maybe he should try to do the same.

‘Maybe you should try the gardener’s son, then,’ Vergil’s wit quickly devises, but refrain from using the comeback for the simple and good reason that he wouldn’t mean it.

It’s appalling enough that he’s made Dante dispense kisses and God knows what as a trial run. He doesn’t want to give him the impression that he should peruse more.

“She said my hair’s pretty but it’s too white. And mom keeps telling us that we’re very special...”

“I don’t think kissing your brother is what mom meant by ‘special’.”

“I’ll probably regret saying this later but right now, I don’t give a damn about mom.”

“That’s not very nice.”

“And you’re chickenshit,” Dante rebuts, turning away to face the high ceiling with a pout, finally doing something that reflects their age.

And Vergil could leave it here. The chokehold of this ungodly discussion reached.

Blue peppers observe and deconstruct in the deep silence that sets.

They map out the situation and Dante’s dainty profile and slowly, slowly, the vines of something errant grow through the reasoning loam of the elder brother’s mind…

(In this moment, I admit I felt betrayed, my brother. Betrayed by my integrity and my nerves. Nerves I thought colder than millennial glaciers. In one moment, a single movement, a lone incentive, you made everything melt away. And by everything, I mean all - me, you, the rules we live in, the normalcy Mother strived to keep us in.

I lean in and kiss your neck and send it all flying into the breeze.)

It’s vowed to fail like Néron’s reign, but for now—just for now, they’ll indulge the sinful Rome.

Dante gasps and jolts in surprise. Vergil has already assumed his previous position by the time Dante faces him.

“What was that?”

“What you wanted.”

Dante frowns. “That’s not what I wanted.”

“What did you want then,” Vergil asks without asking, stifling a sigh the best he can. He feels out of his element and on the edge as if the power of macrocosm is pouring on him with a chastising glare.

"I don't want anything," Dante says and keeps on sulking like Achilles in his tent.

"Don't call me chickenshit then."

"But you are. Heh. You're the one saying you're scared."

"Yes. Scared to hurt you, idiot."

"Hurt me with what? That? Psh. That didn't even faze me.”

Vergil holds Dante in a fierce glare. Oh, he wants to be fazed, huh? He wants to feel the goosebumps. He wants to be shocked.

Vergil scowls, hackles raised by the effect of these foolish taunts and his brother's twinkling eyes forever challenging and beguiling.

A virginal gaze.

His pantheon to blaze.

And Vergil will show him ‘faze’.

He grabs his jaw at once and delivers a kiss to it - soft and at odds with the stern grip that allows it - but he doesn’t stop there.

He presses his soft lips a second time slightly below, then again further down and Vergil is kissing down Dante’s neck without knowing that he had just opened the fabled box—with the gentleness of bow-shaped lips.

But Vergil can’t know that now. They’re just thirteen and all he cares about at this moment is Dante's proficiently shutted mouth.

Vergil takes a peek at Dante from beneath his silver lashes and sees his little brother’s expression definitely not unfazed.

He pulls away then with the smoothness of his precious Yamato being pulled away and settles back against his pillow.

He knows it’s wrong. He knows he shouldn’t bite the forbidden fruit twice. He just… needs to set his brother still for a damned second. Just show him that he won’t be a pushover in his own beddings. And perhaps set still something else inside him, too. Something deeply ferocious that’s beginning to rear its head with every day that goes by.

Dante stares at him, a shock delivered to his spirit like the vibrations of a bell which his brother has tolled across the citadel of his body, down to the deep galleries of his soul.

Vergil prides himself for a moment at the result. Dante is quiet, contemplating and breath-stolen—just the way he likes him.

But that is not knowing Dante—or his innate inferno.

He springs up, abrupt as a string that snaps beneath the bow and descends on Vergil.

He descends on Vergil lips first and reason last - always a loser this one - and from this moment on, it’s like a vice has closed on them—the thinned out fabric of their bond ruptured but quickly gathered into something else - and onward will only be the path of suffering the burden of this newborn troth.

But they don’t know that yet.

For now, something is happening. Something huge like hurricanes, tornados and boys with blue eyes—blue eyes kept wide open…

When they part for breath, their silver-blue gaze mirrors the other like two predators unwilling to drop their guard first.

Or like two starstruck lovers.

“You didn’t close your eyes,” Dante states.

“You didn’t either,” answers Vergil.

“‘twas to make sure you won’t skedaddle.”

“This is my bed. I’m not going anywhere.”

“I see… well, in that case…” Dante rests his palm above Vergil’s eyes and slides it down softly. “Let’s try this way out now…”

And Dante covers his brother again.

Imagine a perfect hideaway without a time.

Imagine a perfect eden without a serpent.

Imagine you’re thirteen and you’ve discovered the meaning of a pure kiss…
