A Headcanon about Verlady:

┎┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈୨♡୧┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┒

I can't help myself but to think of Dante as the "Fairy Godmother" in this relationship. I even have this clear image in my mind of him wearing a shirt with "Verlady's #1 Fan" printed on it.

Lady is struggling with insomnia and discovers that Vergil's bed is the only place she can sleep peacefully - without him in it, of course. Things take a somewhat melancholic turn, however, when she finally asks him where he's been going at night.

@verladyweek Day Six!

Prompt - Sharing A Bed

This took me far too long to write, and I don't even know why... It ended up being longer than I'd planned, and I've been spending days trying to cut it down and make it more streamlined lol. Despite my best efforts I was still working on it today, even though I started it weeks ago.

But! I still have half an hour(ish) to go until midnight in the UK so technically I made it in time! XD

I need them to be more than friends 👀

This interaction in DMC5 has a catch, a deeper meaning like the scene in the library in DMC3.

i am once again thinking about this development. pls be friends.

Song that I associate with Vergil and Lady:

▶ Cirice - Ghost

「 ᴠᴏʟᴜᴍᴇ : ▮▮▮▮▮▮▯▯▯ 」

I relate these two a lot to this song because for me, Vergil and Lady have that potential to be able to understand each other much more than they could with Dante. And, taking away the obvious context in which Ghost unfolds, I basically interpret the song as an unspoken understanding, a deep connection between two individuals.

To begin with, the first two verses of the song:

❝I feel your presence amongst us/ You cannot hide in the darkness❞

I can't help but think directly of DMC3, specifically the fact that Vergil was aware of Lady from the moment she stepped on the Temen-ni-gru. He knew every move, even when Arkham supposedly "took over" the unwanted guest.

Then there are these two verses that are key to me:

❝I can feel the thunder that's breaking in your heart/ I can see through the scars inside you❞

Canonically they didn't interact much, but in that fleeting exchange of words I always seemed to perceive that Vergil somehow saw through Lady, like an open book.

They have some things in common in my opinion, such as that eagerness to be tough in front of others, even in heartbreaking moments. Maybe we didn't see it on stage with Vergil, but we see Lady break down twice during DMC3 and both are when no one is watching her (of course, when Arkham is "dying" she allows it because she thinks he's innocent and didn't count on her father deserving an Oscar for such a good performance).

What more can I say?

Oh, right.

These lines:

❝A candle casting a faint glow/ You and I see eye to eye❞

I can't help but see that in them, especially in this moment:

And finally this:

❝I know your soul is not tainted/ Even though you've been told so❞

More than anything I see a description of Lady in these words. In DMC3 I see many of Lady's actions – having a hard and cold attitude in front of everyone she comes across – as a way to protect herself and cope with everything she lost, behind all that anger and hunger for revenge. She has that attitude of "I've already lost everything... what else can happen to me? What else can I lose?" then she, in her belief, perceives in herself a premature adulthood; Mary, the "pure and innocent" girl, died with her mother.

And it turns out that she doesn't. The good, pure girl showed a sign of life when she forgave Arkham that last time and called him "father" again, in that naïve, but well-intentioned idea of doing justice to Arkham, because she believed that Vergil orchestrated everything.

That's why, half-dismissively, Vergil calls her "foolish girl." But I feel like there's something in his gaze, beyond his lousy insult intent, if it gets to that level. Calling her "girl" has that hidden meaning for me. Beyond deciphering her, he understands her, he's been in that position before.

And with that I conclude my crazy ideas.

I would say "yes, it's cinema", but I'm the only one who see it that way.

Maybe the others would say, "They missed a lunatic from Arkham Asylum."

[unlucky-leek]

When Lady is injured in battle, Vergil must act quickly to save her—even if it means crossing some boundaries.

Alright it’s happening - It’s @verladyweek !

I tried my best to have something for every day, but due to life commitments there may be some that I have to miss.

Day One’s prompts were Rainy Rendezvous / Huddling For Warmth. 

This story also incorporates the Day Four prompts - Scars & Stiches / Confession, so please accept this as my contribution for that day too!

Let me just say this now - I absolutely ADORE rainy stories. Can’t get enough of ‘em! The only problem is that I’ve ended up writing a lot of rainy stories already, so I decided to try something different and go for the Huddling For Warmth prompt! (Although rain still does feature in it a little hehe).

I hope you enjoy, and I can’t wait to see everyone else’s contributions today and for the rest of the week! 

For those interested, you can read some of my other stories featuring rain below the cut!

And of course...

(Yes it’s long, but there’s rain in there somewhere haha)

VXLENTINE'S DAY 2024: Bridging the Distance

A wonderful good day to you, Verlady nation! We are back with some information about the upcoming VXLENTINE'S DAY - a day to spread some love and share thoughts and fanworks that focus on Vergil and Lady.

What is VXLENTINE'S DAY?

VXLENTINE'S DAY is a celebration dedicated to the platonic, romantic or sexual relationship between Vergil and Lady from the Devil May Cry series. VXLENTINE'S DAY will start on February 14th, but late submissions to the tag #vxlentine will be shared by this blog until March 14th. All Verlady Week submission rules apply to fanworks shared during this celebration.

How can I participate?

There are lots of ways to participate in this year's VXLENTINE'S DAY celebration!

Create and share a fanwork based on this year's theme: Bridging the Distance.

Share a snippet or preview of a project you are working on - future contributions to Verlady Week are welcome and allowed to be shared!

Send a message to this blog and rec your favourite fanwork! All submissions will be compiled in a community's pick rec list - a virtual box of chocolates, if you will, of your favourite creations to easily share with others and hopefully delight your day as you maybe even discover new fanworks to shower in love! (Please include a link to the fanwork!)

Send in a short (up to 4 lines) love letter, note, quote or poem and receive a Valentine's graphic! (Submissions can be romantic, funny, sad, whatever comes to mind when you think of Vergil and Lady.)

Submission deadline for recs and Valentine's graphic texts is February 9th. Please post your creations and previews sometime between February 14th and March 14th and use the tag #vxlentine or feel free tag @verladyweek to make sure your post will be seen and shared by this blog!

All submissions can be sent in anonymously if you'd prefer not to be credited in the rec list and/or Valentine's graphics.

A fanwork, in the context of this celebration, includes anything and everything you can think of: fanart, fanfiction, AMVs, collages, moodboards, meta posts, headcanons, memes, and probably many more ways to express your love for Vergil and Lady that I cannot think of right now. If love is stored in it and you or someone else made it, then it is a fanwork.
