Vincent's New Kid Just Dropped CH. 3

A little from Nero's perspective. Finally.

edit: added a pic of his arms marks and darkness tentacles cause i really think they're neat

It was an act of cruelty, to resuscitate his body. The cruelest thing anyone had ever done to him, in his lifetime of torture and captivity.

The dearest wish of his heart had finally come true. He had abandoned this mortal husk and they had become one, at last. Truly united, in body and soul. In that moment of sublime joy, he surrendered his entire self, to be swallowed up and assimilated, once and for all, into the one he loved.

Then that fucking red-caped bastard tore them apart again. Ripped him violently away from his other half and left a gaping, bleeding hole in his place. 

Now, his every breath was a misery to him. He was shattered, ragged, raw and gutted; consumed by aching, gnawing desperation, that made his bones itch and his teeth feel hollow.

He stretched his jaw, but there was no soothing resistance to push against. He crossed his arms tightly, but there was no reassuring pressure to hold them down. He missed his muzzle and straitjacket. He even missed the darkness and the chains. To sleep away the years in nothingness would be preferable to this waking nightmare, where he was alive, without his brother.

And they had the sheer audacity to say Weiss was dead. As if Nero wouldn’t know it, the moment his only beloved’s soul left this plane of existence. They were severed halves of the same whole. He would know it, if the other half of his heart died. He would fucking know.

Too agitated to sit still any longer, he got up and paced about, from the window to the closet to the bed, arms crossed rigidly, black fingernails digging into the black, tattoo-like patterns that were crawling along his arms, writhing and shifting, in response to his emotional turmoil.

A purple tendril reached out tentatively from his forearm and twined itself around his finger, almost like a pet, nuzzling its master. Then another, and another. When he pulled his hand away, thin purple strands had got themselves webbed between all his fingers, and stretched out between his hand and his arm, like tacky slime. 

He scowled and shook them off. They dangled there, for a minute, flopping around and acting pathetic, but when it became clear he wasn’t going to pity them, they sullenly retracted, into the markings on his arm. 

Hearing clanging noises outside, he stepped back to the window and peered out, through a crack in the blackout curtains. That obnoxious blonde man, with scruffy stubble and a cigarette permanently dangling from his lip was out there, doing something to one of the rusty old vehicles, that involved wrenches and cursing.

Nero went back and curled up into a ball on the bed, hugging his knees to his chest. There was no way to escape from this place. Not with that absolute monster Sephiroth always around, guarding the place like an overenthusiastic Doberman.

An overenthusiastic Doberman that was also a full-time nanny. What the hell was his obsession with that stupid baby? He had her more than either of her fathers did, and he was always talking to her (half the time in Mandarin), as if she was an adult who could understand him, in any language.

The bandaged wounds in his chest throbbed, suddenly, making him wince and take short, panting breaths. They said the puncture wounds went straight through his back and all the way out the front, collapsing both lungs and just barely missing his heart. They all agreed he should be dead, but no one could figure out what weapon had been used. The prevailing theory was a trident. Doctors were idiots.

When he was considered well enough to present a serious and immediate danger to the stability of society, he was moved from the hospital, to a Shinra owned maximum-security super-prison, where they kept him muzzled and chained up, just like he’d been in the reactor. It wasn’t much different from normal. 

But then lawyers started coming to see him. Saying things like ‘not competent to stand trial’ and ‘traumatized victim’ and ‘horrifically abused over a sustained period.’ That wasn’t very nice of them, but he didn’t care what they thought, and never deigned to acknowledge anything they said to him.

Then they started in with the ‘DNA testing has confirmed paternity’ and ‘only living relative’ and ‘father.’ What the hell were they on about? He tuned in for a little while, till he understood that the red-caped bastard who beat him senseless, was also the one who’d dragged him out of there and ‘saved his life.’ And now they were claiming that very same bastard was his father. Which, ironically, made Nero the bastard.

His entire being revolted against the idea, and at the same time, he wondered at the fact that it hadn’t been obvious to him, the moment he saw the man’s face. Crimson wasn’t exactly a common eye color, not to mention naturally straight, jet-black hair, with almost no respect for gravity. The deathly pale, faintly olive-toned complexion and lithe, slender frame (the height seemed to have skipped a generation, but he was only twenty-three; there was still a chance he’d grow a little more). Even the man’s east Asian ancestry was visible in Nero’s face.

Not that he acknowledged that bastard as his father. He did not. Given the choice, he’d have remained in prison, rather than go with him. He was not given a choice.

The prison system felt it was inadequate to handle such an individual, long term, and pleaded the potential for immense casualties, as well as tens of millions of gil in property destruction, should they lose control of him. The insurance rates alone would bankrupt them in a matter of weeks. They simply couldn’t bear the liability.

Failing a death sentence, which they could not impose, since he was deemed insane, and not legally culpable, the court decided that the best way to keep an augmented person in check was another, stronger augmented person, who had already proven himself to be on the side of law and order. Even better, the little walking apocalypse’s biological father happened to be just such a person.

Thus, Nero was remanded to the custody of Vincent Valentine, under house arrest, term to be determined, depending upon progress, behavior, mental stability, blah blah blah.

They didn’t know how to remove his darkness power, so he was put in a permanent neckband, with some diabolical Shinra tech in it, that restrained it somewhat. Then they just sent him away, with the red-caped bastard and his foul-mouthed husband.

The prison system breathed a collective sigh of relief to have that mess conveniently off their hands, and everyone moved on with their lives. Everyone except Nero, who’d had no say in the matter.

Nero, who was now in the cold-sweat phase of a full blown panic attack, curled up in a self-soothing ball, in this teeth-grindingly spacious and airy bedroom, in this sickeningly harmonious household, with his fake family and WITHOUT HIS GODDAMNED BROTHER.

That silver-haired lunatic didn’t count, no matter how he insisted on it. Sephiroth was not his real brother, and he never would be. Never. Nero clenched his teeth and bit back the childish tears, that were attempting to force their way out of his eyes. 

Stupid. Juvenile. Weak. What would Weiss think, if he saw you behaving this way?

That thought sliced through the panic spiral, and the iron bands that were constricting around his ribcage fell away. He sat up, taking deep, calming breaths and regaining his composure. He had a responsibility to Weiss. He had to get back to him, no matter what. 

Escape was his number one priority, but he couldn’t overpower the enemy, so he’d have to outsmart them. In order to do that, he’d have to gain their trust. Get them to let their guard down. Bide his time and await the right moment. The second they gave him enough slack, he’d slip the lead and vanish, before they knew what was happening.

But he couldn’t suddenly become a model family member. They’d see through that immediately, and the game would be lost. He would have to run cold, take one step forward and two back, let them think they were wearing down his resistance. Getting through to him, little by little. 

Just when they started patting themselves on the back, for rehabilitating this poor, troubled youth, they’d realize he was nowhere to be found. He smiled to himself, imagining the looks on their stupid faces, when they realized they’d been played for fools. 

Then his smile faded and he chewed his thumbnail, anxiously. The problem was Sephiroth. Nero doubted he’d ever let his guard down, and he could very well spoil everything, if he kept the others on alert. 

Well, there was nothing for it. No plan was without its hitch. He’d just have to be extra vigilant, around Sephiroth, and never let the mask show a crack. There’d be no escaping with him present, either, so he’d have to wait for circumstances to line up. When the Doberman was away, the cat could play.

[hiddentrails7]

Adding to the Stardew Valley mod post from earlier today, I like to think Weiss wouldn't have many loved gifts. To counter this, as soon as you're romantically involved 99% of the items are suddenly peak gifting material

Mahoyaku on Halloween (high on sugar)

i had only read the first season of the main story so far, so this is completely based off how each character had been perceived by me through that small part of the game, as well as some login stories too~

Seated in a circle of the common room, the Sage and their Wizards brainstormed a few events for the Central Prince. A festival idea this month, he asked.

"How about Halloween?" Fuast unexpectedly chimed in from the hallway.

Arthur shot his head towards his direction. "What is that? I think the last Sage briefly mentioned it but he never got too much into detail..."

"I have things to do." The gloomy cat lover spent no time to scurry away from socialising.

Now screw that normal stuff, chaos underneath.

Owen's ego gets destroyed

No, please, he just wants to have sweet stuff...

Sage: Halloween? Oh! People dress up in scary customers then go from houses to houses to scare others and get sweets~ <---- the reason why Owen is interested (it's called Trick or Treating by the way~ ♪)

Owen: Humans fear at the sight of me, I don't need a costume.

Arthur: You need a costume so people won't be scared to approach you.

Owen: Then what's the fun of that? I want to see the sheer horrified expression on their fa-

Arthur: If no one approaches you, you can't get chocolate.

Owen: I ca-

Arthur: No stealing.

Owen, now willingly puts on the costume:

Arthur got that ozthority

Grandpas, hoho, what are you talking about? 

They blended right in with the kids you can't tell me otherwise. Heathcliff, Mitile, Riquet and Faust (too tired to notice) fell for their disguise and really thought they were just genuine children asking for candies. This went on until Bradley called out their mischief. 

Bradley: Oi you grandpas, what are ya doing actin’ all scared n’ then askin’ for treats? 

White: Looks like we have been caught, Snow…

Snow: Hoho… this wouldn't do. 

The twins start to cling onto Bradley and attempt to steal his candies instead.

Bradley: No、 get off me ya ジジ！Those are for the kids! 

Snow: We are kids~

White: Yes, we're kids~

Mithra being a babysitter is common knowledge so I'll make it more unhinged + he's forced to socialise

Christmas? Crisis?? Charcoal?????

Mithra, to a kid: Do you know if you're a naughty kid, you'll get charcoal instead of candies on Horror Where?

Mithra, offers the kid some charcoal:

Kid,visibly confused: ???

Rutile: Mithra, I think that is for Crisis, not Hollow What. 

Mithra: Oh… really?

Mithra, turns back to the kid: The demons will find you and replace your candies with charcoal. (Probably picked it up from Snow and White's weird topics) 

Rutile: Mithra, I think that's Satan (Santa), not demons.

The kid ran away at the end. 

Mithra would probably also dress up as some lazy ghost in bed sheets. Not those ragged white clothes, it's literally his blanket. (He wants sleep.) (Sage, please run, he's trying to find you and hug you so he can sleep.)

Off topic HC: Rutile and Mithra always get holiday names wrong

Bunny babies

Arthur talks about how he wanted to be a bunny boy when he was a kid and dressed up as a lil bunny boy for Halloween (I read this somewhere but I forgot whose HC it was ;;) He convinced Oz to join him so they can be father and son bunbuns. It took a lot of nagging, begging, convincing…

Ozzyyyy bunnnyyyyy and Artie

Mainly looked over the stall the Eastern Wizards had put up in the market since the Easterners preferred to stay at one place (except Shino, he went around flexing on other kids) Oz was a little embarrassed at first, seeing how ‘playful’ he looked with those clearly visibly, fluffy bunny ears and it's little tail.

When Arthur saw how Oz was getting bored (he feels bad), he approached Nero and made him teach Oz how to make cotton candy. Nero panik. Nero rejected at first but had no other choice. He got the hang of it really quick. First, make some magic sugar stars, insert it into the centre of the machine, then the colourful powder… swirl the stick around and… done!

Kid 2: Oh…! The cotton candy made by the bunny tastes better than the pirate’s!

Nero: Oi you litt-

Oz: subtle smile in hapi

Arthur obviously organised this whole thing mainly with the help of the Sage. Most of the time Arthur is in charge of keeping everything in control but the Sage said they will take care of it so he can have some fun too. He’s so precious, took this chance to do some un-princely stuff and act more chaotic. Those include: scaring his subordinates, having a little excessive candy, Uncle Vincent might’ve been a victim too and he tried to scare Oz, it did not work. Although his childish mischievous self may be out, he nonetheless still dislikes nightmares so—he was pretty easy to mess with too. Arthur himself was fine with this fun, Oz though. Oh he was not having any of it, you can see it in his eyes that he wants to protect Arthur even though it was harmless.

Owen pt 2

Loves how busy it is and definitely found himself a few delights from the dark, scary atmosphere. The constant laugher does tick him off though but for chocolate, he can endure.

All of the Northern Wizards as well as everyone else in the manor agreed to let him be the ‘non-older wizard’ (aka set him free to join the kids) just in case he decides that this town should be no town. Well paid actor

Adult figure, giving him a few sweets: Your costume looks so cool, ya even got eye contacts on?!! That's amazing!

Owen, creepily smiles under his hat but it all seems like natural acting: =)

Adult figure, continues to spoil him with chocolates: Super in-character. Love it!

Owen: walks away satisfied

Of course that idiot would thank NO ONE and thinks he deserves whatever they give him.

Also he's wearing an even more authentic pilot uniform but in black.

Most loved Knight—Cain

Kids swarm towards him the entire night, even the knights of the Central Kingdom who Arthur asked to join the little festival all came to him and offered... alcohol??? (Miscommunication 101) Definitely ended up in some cabin by the end of the Halloween night after giving out all of the candies he had on him, now drunk…

At one point in the night, he thought he was actually being haunted by ghosts due to his injury from the Calamity. "Master Sage... Master Sage...? I can hear your voice but I can't see you nor feel you nearby..." You enjoyed the colours that drained his face before tackling him down.

Seldomly, Cain would check up on both Arthur and the Sage (making sure Owen won’t mess around with the Sage).

Nero's baking and candy making~ ft. Bradley foolery

Actually made most of the sweets for the ‘older wizards’ to give out to the kids in town and extras for Mitile and Riquet. Initially, he refused to join the banter but then again, the kids won't stop bugging him too…

Nero is the lead that took responsibility as well as suggesting the sweets stall in the central market. It was also his first time making sweets from the Sage’s world too and found it fascinating. Time to time, Bradley would help out when Oz is on break (obvious reasons).

Whenever he gets the chance, he will lie to the kids saying the red cotton candy is made out of some magic beast’s organs or something twisting, and the purple is threaded from their brains. Nero does not approve: bonks him.

Bradley: Yo it's darker out than usual. Those stinky grandpas are busy too, I’ma go steal some stuff, you keep yer eye’ out for me, alright’?

Nero, who's clearly tired already from all of this: don’t go n’ do something stupid. Look, the kid’s grandparents r judgin’ ya already.

Bradley, who has a soft spot: God damnit.

C'mon at first look Shino definitely is the grim reaper

At the same time, I want to see Shino running around as that masked guy from spirited away. A lil midget chasing down the citizens of the neighbourhood. I'm sorry.  He would use his actual scythe as a prop. At first, Snow and White disapproved since it would be dangerous but: “It's dark out in the night and everybody's in masks, if anything happened to Heath I can quickly jump into defence.” Thus, here he is, showing it off to all of the kids in the market. Shino is very proud of it. (Still kept an eye on Heathcliff though.) 

HEATHCLIFF AHHAHAHA

Isn’t enjoying any of this at all. Too many surprises, scary noises, eerie valleys and stalls decorated in weird bugs, spiders, ghosts, scarecrows. Sure, he enjoys tinkering with machines but NOT THOSE??? As much as he refused to join them, he did at the end since he didn’t like the idea of being alone in the manor too. Shino tries his best to prevent Heathcliff falling victim to the pranksters despite telling him how he's “disappointed”, deep down he’s quite worried.

Shino: Why don’t you dress up like a Grim Reaper with me? You know, you won’t get scared if they can’t even find the courage to come near you.

Heath: You might be right…

Shino: We’re going to look so cool!

They proceeded with this idea… at the venue: Heathcliff, in fact, got called angel of death (just sounds a little more elegant than grim reaper in my head). The duo started a crowd by accident and Shino took all of the opportunity he could to grow his fame while Heath talked to those little curious ones at the side. Shino would butt in and say something prideful for Heathcliff and get their awes. Heathcliff mainly stayed out of the pranking due to Shino, not because of his costume. Aww yes guys when you're at the end of the life line, Heath will magically show up, bridal carry you to the other side of the river <3 NOW YOU ALL BETTER SAY HAIL HEATHCLIFF SAMA - Shino, probably

Faust is a tsuntsun

He doesn't want to be here. He hates it. He wants home. Even after rejecting the Central Wizards' requests for 12 days straight, he showed up bringing the most candies and even wore a little cat headband that Heathcliff gave to him because he said "I do not own a costume for an occasion as bizarre as this". While tending the stall, he found himself happy and invested crafting sugar paintings (畫糖) for the little ones. He would take their requests and draw it on the spot for them. Faust secretly practised the art in his room using his magic hehe so now he’s pretty skilful~ Maybe he would’ve even carved a few apples too.

Figaro papa :>

That one father who's super supportive of everything. He'd help out Chloe a lot with the making of the costumes. Partially, just partially also because he can choose the design. The cat hairband was his idea and simply asked Heathcliff to give it to Faust knowing he wouldn't accept it if he knew Figaro is the mailer. Figaro dressed up as a plushie protector for Halloween. He's a prideful frontline fighter than protects your plushies, pillows, little things you call your loved ones when you're deep asleep in the night. At the end of the month, he pulls out his 'non-branded, non-sponsored germs killer spray' and cleans them up for you. Figaro is no more than your plushie guardian.

RUSTICAAAAAAAHHHHHHH RUNNNN

You know damn well he's still terrorising pedestrians, except now he does it looking even more handsome. 100% asked Chloe if he can dress up as “My bride's groom” or “My wife's husband” So he now got a zombie-like tuxedo on…~ definitely pleased every woman he found to be his eye candy. Sage told him about the ring pop proposal thing so now he brought some around and started asking pretty ladies to be his fiancé of the night. (Chloe forbids him from caging people) Yes, Nero made them. 

Chloe carried the event

He made everyone's costumes! Gets mistaken as a kid when he's out being the ‘older wizards’ role and giving out candies. Honestly, he doesn't mind. Not only would he give out sweets, he would probably wrap it in custom wrappers he had sewn some wrappers too kind of like a souvenir. Like a handkerchief wrapped around the candies with a ribbon? I'm not sure how to describe it. I'm not sure what he would dress up as for Halloween to be honest, searched up some ideas and Alice in Wonderland would kind of be a theme he'd go for… not sure! 

Murrrreaaww- woof woof! grr “mom im scared”

Even after the event Murr still wears the costume Chloe made for him inside the manor. Yes, he's a cat. Yes, it has fluffy ears and a tail. Yes, the Sage (me) asked Chloe to make it a dog since he barks too. Yes, he barks in his cat costume.  At the event, Murr went and meowed at little kids, using magic to make candies materialise in the air. He's basically the light of the whole thing, setting off orange fireworks in the air ever so often. When he's bored though, he does go and trick some children by turning their candies into flowers. He does turn it back, don't worry~

Shylock just needs to give out some unconditional love

Due to his long term interactions with lustful adults and their constant high demands and desires, interacting with the harmless, pure children somehow warmed his heart. Shylock was more gentle and softer, when a youngin requested him to do something he would happily do it for them. Whether it be magic or asking if they could touch his costume. Meanwhile, the Sage (us) are judging and recalling all the times he made the Sage BEG. Of course he noticed and made the Sage a drink after the event.  Murr stuck around too and teased Shylock from time to time about how the kids can easily sway his feelings. When it comes to playing tricks, he simply hid mentos in cokes. The panic in their eyes kept him entertained throughout the night. (let's pretend that exists there) Shylock chose to dress up as a fox. Hearing how the Sage described their depicted behaviours applied on humans, he thinks that he'd be suitable. 

Lennox being a true baby

“Why don't you dress up like a shepherd?” - Faust, probably. “What do you mean, Faust様?” “You don't look like one.” Determined Leno face. (In my opinion, he looks like a soldier at passtime.) Also when he forced himself to smile during Halloween he got praised (it was scary), but he thought the people were cheering him on for his charming smile (it is charming too). 

Ruchiru & Michiru

Rutile made at least 20 kids pronounce "Halloween" as something that's not "Halloween", the Sage tried to fix the damage but it has been done. This is "mixer 2.0". Like Cain, Rutile is welcomed by the children! One of their other favorites. Soon did join Cain in the cabin and the reason how that knight got back to the manor. Now, the Southerners aren't ones to play tricks on people but in an occasion like this, they couldn't pass up now, could they? Mitile hiding behind Leno then jumps out throwing candy looking pedals at peoples face, just wholesome...

If you made it here, thanks for reading!~ ☆

[ashymations]

Jotaro, come get your niece damn it, she needs saving again.

[lasquadrasfuckhouse]

Sorry if you’ve already answered this but what’s your hc for La Squadra? (Nationality, age etc)

NO PROBLEM AT ALL i realized i haven't compiled a lot of these in one place so here u go, ages im measuring by how old they are in 2001, some of these i've ended up thinking a lot more of than others so far lol

risotto: 27 (y'all ever noticed how being 28 don't line up if he was born in '74?), sicilian, tunisian, egyptian

prosciutto: 27, italian, swiss, russian, turkish

pesci: 22, italian, swiss, russian

formaggio: 25, italian (MAYBE MORE ????)

illuso: 29/30 (i haven't fully decided yet lol), italian, eritrean, kyrgyz

melone: 26, italian and indonesian

ghiaccio: 24, italian and singaporean

sorbet: 41, maltese and lebanese

gelato: 40, belarusian

and that don't even scratch the surface of the variation of ethnic backgrounds and languages within national identities and the fact that regional identity is so huge in italy and there are different dialects with that. like pesci is milanese and genoese, formaggio strikes me as the kind of guy who's napolitano born n raised, melone was raised around bolzano, ghiaccio is venetian (yes yes).

so here's some more little bits n pieces for u that i've collected across this blog:

birthdays and (western) astrology hcs

where some of them were born

ghiaccio and being jewish

prosciutto and pesci and being jewish + broader hcs abt their family

a lil bit of gelato being slavic

some of their linguistic backgrounds are reflected in what they'd call their s/o

[i-mybrunettelady]

With Pride almost done, I have to share this hc with y'all

It's been on my mind for a while now and it's all coming together

So Nyra's first love just happened to be unrequited and it was a girl who, like her, had issues coming to her magic but had much less forgiving parents than Nyra did so she suffered for it

They bonded over that and soon enough Nyra was like welp I'm in love

So in a bold fashion she went for a kiss on a feast, a really public space, and the girl pulled away cause 1) it was an awful moment what were you thinking Nyra and 2) she wasn't into girls

And they haven't spoken for years after that for obvious reasons, they were 13-14 at the time

Not all of Nyra's crushes led to rejection, obviously, and it didn't do a lot of damage to her confidence overall, she just learned to be more refined about it but dayum

That girl eventually went on to become a skilled magic wielder

And it's a cameo of my DAI Inquisitor cause I love Valeria so much and have had thoughts about her

[cantusgratia]

When did you start developing feelings for Nero?

My muse has to tell nothing but the truth for 10 asks || accepting

3/10

A fond smile makes its way onto her lips instantly, although her brows knit just the slightest as she carefully goes through the memories in her brain. When did it happen? Nearly-hazy childhood scenes are sorted through– she grew up with Nero, spent most of her years in the orphanage with him, and so she figures it must have happened around then.

In that place, Nero was one of the very few who had her complete trust, and naturally she had his as well. The companionship he offered had been strong and kind and warm (it still is like that, of course), and around him Kyrie hardly felt sad and alone, especially once Credo was old enough to leave the orphanage to be trained under the Order for Knightship. Feels like the two of them had been close ever since the beginning (although she has to remind herself that it took her so long to actually get Nero to warm up to her the first time they met)…

But romantically? When did those kinds of feeling develop?

“I think…” she’s now staring at something in the distance, looking both serene and focused at the same time as if the answer simply materialized for her just now, “… probably when I was about to turn thirteen. I don’t… quite know anymore what exactly happened, and what Nero had said. I only remember because that year was when Credo was finally able to take us out of the orphanage, and we were back to living in our old home with Nero. I guess I was just… upset one night, started crying and couldn’t sleep, so Nero suggested we walk outside to get some fresh air. 

“We ended up walking to the very edge of Mitis Forest, to a little spot where we used to play while we were still living in the orphanage, and we sat down and just… talked until sunrise.” Whatever their topics had been, she can’t remember anymore either, but she does smile at what details pop up. “Nero’d been so sleepy and yet he made sure I stopped feeling terrible, distracting me even as he struggled to keep his eyes open… 

“He’s always been so incredibly caring and selfless. Hard not to love that about him, you know? That was an incredible thing he did for me, and I suppose it just made me realize that… I wanted to have Nero at my side all the time.”

Build a Yandere results!

It’s finally done!! I apologise for the delay with posting this, but hopefully it was worth the wait! Thank you again to everyone who contributed to the event and I hope you enjoy the final result! 💕

As I mentioned in the original post, you can send in hc/scenario requests, ask the yandere direct questions, ask for drawings etc now that they are done! I really hope you enjoy interacting with them!

Yandere and info under the cut!

Introducing Nero!

General info!

Nero is 21 years old and his birthday is the 12th July

He stands at about 6’0 but often wears platforms which make him closer to 6’3

His dad is an executive in a mafia family and owns a large business to act as a coverup. Nero will be taking over for him eventually so he’s majoring in business

However, he’s also minoring in English Literature as he adores reading and writing poems and he wanted to become a writer himself at some point

Despite his intimidating demeanour, Nero is actually a massive hopeless romantic and you can’t really tell how… passionate he is if you ever get the chance to read one of his poems

Nero is often seen carrying around cigarettes, although he doesn’t actually smoke. There was a misunderstanding once where someone assumed he wanted a cigarette when he came over to them, and since then people have assumed that’s what he wants whenever he approaches someone

He has a younger sister whom he absolutely adores and would do anything to keep her happy. She loves painting his nails and playing with his hair so he keeps them both long for her

He’s also in charge of looking after her a lot so he’s getting close to househusband material. He’s amazing at cleaning and getting it done super fast, but cannot cook for the life of him. He’s trying his hardest to get better at it though

Nero has partial heterochromia in his left eye!

He has tattoo’s from his father’s mafia family on his back and right arm. He covers the one on his arm with bandages so he doesn’t look as unapproachable or scary, but the bandages make it looks like he gets in lots of fights so it’s slightly counter intuitive

He’s an ambivert. There are times where he has to be social and interact with lots of people, and he doesn’t mind too much. But he also loves to spend a lot of time cooped up in his house doing nothing

Not a hc, but a fun fact abt his design! The lip piercing he has is called an angel bite and he has pointy jewellery to mimic vampire teeth! This is bc the human votes won, but it was a super close call between him being an angel or a vampire if he was non human. Just a cute lil easter egg 💕

Yandere type!

Nero is obsessive first and foremost. When he falls for someone, he falls hard and all his thoughts and actions revolve around them

His poems go from being about the feeling of wanting to experience love and a relationship, to cryptic but heavily detailed confessions to the object of his desires

He’s also quite protective of them as well. He knows that because of his father’s line of work, he has a target on his back as well and that it is probably extended towards his darling, so he goes above and beyond in ‘protecting’ them. Even if they’re not aware that he’s made it his job to watch over them 24/7

His persistence comes about from the perceived lack of sincerity that his darling assumes he holds

No matter how many times he asks them out to a nice fancy restaurant, or a cute little picnic, or on a world famous cruise, or even just to go see a movie. He’s not very outwardly expressive so every invitation seems to hold a tinge of insincerity, no matter how genuine he’s trying to be

The constant rejections won’t stop him or deter him though. They usually go right over his head as he continues to follow his darling around for the rest of the day

Even if they don’t enjoy his presence, he’s still gonna be right there next to him as often as he can be. He likes being close to them and it helps keep the others away as well

If his darling willingly lets him hang around them though? Well he’s got this excited air around him the entire day, the positivity practically radiating off of him. Which is actually helpful, since just looking at his expression would make you think he’s regretting even asking

His darling’s friends are absolutely not invited to hang out though. Just having his darling acknowledge someone else is enough to set him over the edge, let alone if he hears them planning outings together or anything like that

He knows he doesn’t have the right to monopolise his darling’s time, but he just can’t help but want to keep them all to himself without any pests bothering them. What’s more romantic than being the only person in each other’s lives?

He views his darling way above him. Nero knows he’s by no stretch of the imagination a good person. Especially considering the ties to the mafia through his father. Compared to him, his darling is practically a saint that can do no wrong

[fruit-of-infidelity]

The servant, who was at first leading him further into the entrance hall, almost tripped over his own feet as they caught ahold of him. With an slight annoyance almost-masked visibly by the blindfold but certainly heard plain-as-day, the servant began his response.

"That piece is the young master's."

Although not purposefully, the servant avoided naming Ryuuto directly; It was far simpler to differentiate the Sakamaki's by age, after all. Though, perhaps not to an unfamiliar patron, alike Nero.

"Please, wait here whilst I fetch Lord Riーー" Despite being blindfolded, the servant could sense very well that Nero had begun his ascent toward the painting, cutting himself off rather abruptly with an urged warning, harshly annunciated. "If you have a delivery, I urge you wait down from the staircase, Sir."

As those very same bat wings disappeared down the dimmed hallways, they soon stumbled upon one of either Sakamaki they were instructed to locate; Ryuuto was just about to retire to his studio for the evening at the news of an unexpected delivery.

"No need to inform Father."

It was the shortest request by Ryuuto to his familiars in some time, then asking for their guidance in leading him to greet Nero. It wasn't a notable distance; Taking a few strides down the hallway, and right then a left, Ryuuto was already approaching the grand staircase rather quickly, just happening to overhear his title.

Naturally, he was curious.

Coming to a halt at the upper-most landing of the stairs, the young Vampire first acknowledged the servant with a raised brow, then the wide-eyed, peculiar deliveryman.

"Which piece?"

The soles of his boots thudded and smushed against the grass as he traversed the Human Realm in the rain. Had he known the man he’d wish to see lived so far away, he would have forwent the trip and waited for the next time he visited the Demon Realm; especially since halfway through his walk it began to rain.

“ ‘Go ahead and deliver it to him’ he says, ‘It’ll check off one of your tasks.’ Check off a task, my ass. Carrying this much marble on my back in the rain could have waited.” Nero mumbled to himself, as he mocked the man who currently shelters him. Said person may as well have been a thorn is his side, as he shooed Nero out the door, package in hand. Thankfully he own a bag designed to be able to carry things like this, as long as they weren’t too big.

With the hood of his trench coat pulled over his head, they maneuvered their way away from the bustling city, and towards the neighbouring forests. Truth be told, the package they were carrying was only around five pounds, give or take, but they weren’t necessarily the active type… For a Vampire, they were quite weak.

The booming sounds of thunder and lighting pounded in the background, as Nero approached a rather haunting looking home.

“Wow, how original… This place just screams Vampire if you ask me…” He uttered, as he approached the grand looking doorway. ‘At least the architecture is beautiful…’ The visitor thought.

A mere few inches away from the entrance, the white haired individual raised his fist, giving the door firm rhythmic knocks, as he anticipated who would be the one to answer.

[ HIIIIIII AVAAAAA. NERO IS HEREEEEEEEEEE. and finally delivering the bust Richter ordered but never picked up 🙄 man got a statue of himself then decided not to take it 🙄 ANYWAY I HOPE THIS WAS OKAY SKSKSK. FEEL FREE TO ANSWER THIS WHENEVER!! OR FEEL FREE TO IGNORE IT 🫶 | @deciipula ]

// HIII WHINNNNN!! I'm so excited for these two to finally interact, but forgive the lil formal entrance with the servants, i thought it would be some fun SKSKSKSKS. BUT, when Ryuuto hears why Nero is here?? he probably wont be surprised his old man ordered a whole damn bust of himself 🙄😭 AAAA im so excited to interact!!!! <3 <3

Who, indeed... It appeared the answer to that came quicker than expected. A smartly-dressed - though in quite a plain variety of grey and blacks - and blind-folded man silently opened the door, noted the unfamiliar visitor, and sent another unseen person off.

"What is your business?"

Although not blocking the fair-headed persons entrance per se, the servant - as conveyed by the Sakamaki crest adorning his blazer upon a pin - assumed manners of them, regardless of how long their journey was, nor of how tired their feet may have been.

As quickly as he demanded a reason for their presence, however, the servant widened the entrance by stepping aside, despite Nero answering his question or otherwise; The flapping of a few bat wings, however, suggested this change of pace was an order.

"Wipe your feet before you enter, one of the Master's will be with your shortly," He shortly spoke, the darkness engulfing him as he turned back into the entryway of the manor.

(Key differences between my canon divergent Nero and Lil ‘aka Nero’ is just the facts.

CD Nero is a tired, grumpy, overworked guy with 3 kids and a bunch of semi adopted critters. Who occasionally suffers for old injuries and his body does some weird shit every couple of months/years. All in all, not much of a jokester and more serious. Also screw both his parents. Especially his mother. Because Vergil did not know so there’s somewhat of a pass.

Lil Nero when grown up gives a ‘chill stoner’ combined with ‘devil may care swagger’ kind of vibe. 1000% would have that ‘smug cat knife’ expression when someone yells at him but somehow manages to be serious when it counts. Also a HUGE mama’s boy.)

(Diavolo anon) oh rip, don't worry, JonaDia it's the rarepair with less content that I ever found lol. So instead, do you mind if i ask your hc about either RisottoxDiavolo or GiornoxRisotto? Sorry if I keep being an annoying lil bitch with rarepairs tho 😔😔....

It took me so much time to make something for this request and, finally, with a help of my dear friend I wrote it! Thank you for your request, my lovely Diavolo anon💚

Risotto x Diavolo headcanons

Warnings: NSFW

Both Risotto and Diavolo are switches, they can be either top and bottom. Most of the time Diavolo is a top, he enjoys seeing Risotto, who is way more bigger and stronger physically than he is, all spread beneath him begging to let him finally cum

Risotto doesn’t reciprocate Diavolo’s feelings, and pink-haired knows about that, but he tries not to think about it much. Diavolo loves Risotto, really loves and adores him, but Nero does all this only because of all the money that boss gives him

Diavolo would never admit it but he loves when Risotto defeated and doms him utterly, when pink-haired has no other choice but to obey. He cherishes every hickey, every bruise that Nero leaves on his skin

Diavolo loves watching Risotto training, his tanned resilient skin shines from sweat, the way his broad chest raises and falls from heavy deep breath. His abdomen looks just great, incredibly great, to be exact, all this makes Diavolo horny and on those rare occasions he becomes Risotto’s little whore

Diavolo is an jealous bitch, he wants all Risotto’s attention to himself. He has work to do? - no, Diavolo will send someone else to do that. Risotto has a meeting with his group in 20 minutes? - “You’re not going anywhere, dear. You’re staying here, with me, and I don’t care what you think about that!”

okay good to hear!!! can i request a headcanon or drabble, whichever you prefer :D, where dante has an so whos very jumpy but he doesn't know that and so for a joke he decides to greet her by scaring her but that makes her jump and she starts crying bcuz she got scaeed and he has to comfort her??? everyone scares me to greet me a lot and it always makes me cry lol.

Heya sweetie! Oh mood, the jumpiness is something I suffer with too. Doesn’t help that my family are all pranksters ;-; Here’s a lil HC/drabble hybrid cause it turned into story-time halfway through oops 👀

Easily startled S/O with Trickster Prankster Dante

⚬ Being the girlfriend of an eccentric devil hunter had more ups than downs. But every so often, his quirks got the better of you.

⚬ Dante absolutely loves getting the jump on anyone in sight. Whether it would be his brother, his nephew, his friends, an unsuspecting pizza delivery guy, or even his S/O; AKA you.

⚬ He seems to find out what would make a person jump with incredible speed. Perhaps this was to keep the upper hand against anyone willing enough to scare him.

⚬ For example, Vergil and Nero have a fierce aversion to their ribs being tickled. Poke ‘em, and they will execute the perfect eight foot vertical leap before returning the favour with a flurry of stingers.

⚬ Nevertheless, this devil was damn good at deciphering people and what makes them tick; Or in this case, keel over in shock.

⚬ With you, however, he was gentle at first. His paranoia of offending you nearly crippling his need to surprise people.

⚬ With time, since he began dating you, he opened up, and started to ease off on his guard. This was when his cogs clicked into place, finally planning out his fool-proof master plan when you left for the store to top up the fridge.

⚬ He hid behind a floor length curtain, comically leaving his boots peeking out from under the fabric. Awaiting your timely return with two full bags of groceries, he clasped his hands together, rubbing them like a diabolical villain.

⚬ You were completely oblivious to his presence, happily walking past the living room to reach the kitchen.

⚬ “Babe? Dante, I’m home-” The trailing curtains and a chilling draft answered your call. No scarlet devil in sight.

⚬ This was when he had reached the conclusion of his plan, the big bang. A deafening exclamation of your name, and a poke at your hips, was to be his execution. What he did not expect however, was your banshee screech, and a scrunched up face ready to turn crimson from the tears.

⚬ You turned barely breathing, fragmented sobs leaving your lungs. The sight of you made Dante’s stomach churn. He hadn't anticipated such a reaction. Never in his life has anyone countered the surprise with such visceral emotions.

⚬ He cursed himself for his callousness, and decided to scoop you into his arms, in turn making you nuzzle into his collarbone.

⚬ “C’mon doll, I’m sorry. I’ll never do that again, I promise. Let’s get you something to drink. I’ll call up the pizza place and get your favourite. Ok? Maybe a good movie? The Shining? Wait no- shit. No horror movies. Er-” You couldn’t help but somewhat smile through the startled tears, his flustered reaction giving him an endearing puppy vibe.

⚬ Meanwhile you sniffled into his clavicle with your elevated heartbeat slowing down to its resting rate, Dante continued to hold you in his arms, carding his fingers through your hair and planting apologetic pecks upon your crown.

⚬ He spoke in soft tones, telling bad puns and overused jokes. Evidently, they made you giggle, no matter how atrocious and antediluvian they were, as long as they were told by Dante. 

⚬ He would try to treat you to anything you’d want. You objected, saying that you felt as though you were guilt-tripping him. He shushed any mentions of guilt, and continued to shower you with love.

⚬ For weeks after the jumpscare, he left bouquets of red roses around the house, leaving notes of his devotion and apologies to you. By the end of the month, your home became a makeshift garden of flowers at different stages of their life.

⚬ He’d continue to frighten the stockings off of anyone who isn’t you, even letting you in on the pranks, begging you to join him on his escapade to become a walking horror movie. Besides, what better way to involve you without frightening you than to let you be part of the jumpscares?

WAIT ACTUALLY.... just modern au risotto headcanons (ill attack myself w the other one i sent KSJEKEJSKSJ) like. general hcs i suppose? what do you think he’d do :0

Irene!! congrats on your 100 follower milestone, friend! you honestly deserve it. 💕 I wanted to work on your suggestion as a lil way to celebrate, so w/o further ado, here’s some modern Ris! 🎉

tw: mentions of blood and death

❥ ┋ ❝ modern risotto relationship headcanons!

ok so... I’m assuming you meant just modern, every day headcanons. and if we’re assuming he’s still 28 in this au, I like the idea of his wrapping up his residency in hematology (aka blood medicine!). Risotto is shown to be a super observational character, with his being able to deduce that Doppio is a stand user during their encounter, so I feel like something analytical like that is fitting of him? but he also cares deeply about the people around him, considering he was the last to leave Gelato and Sorbet’s funeral. hematology is obviously a direct reference to 「METALLICA」, though I also feel that he enjoys the puzzles and personal relationships that come with a medical practice.

that said, he’s researching something to do with the iron content in blood. he probably won’t talk too deeply about it if you ask; it’s a lot of medical jargon and he’d rather focus on something other than his studies when having a conversation.

and I know you mentioned tattoo artist!Risotto in your previous ask so consider: Risotto with a half sleeve on both arms.

anyway, the first time you both met was at his mentor’s office. it was very unromantic. you came in after receiving concerns from your primary doctor. this caused you to freak out and scour pages upon pages of Web MD diagnoses, which made you panic even more. cancer? oh my god could you have cancer?? 

you tried to explain yourself to Risotto’s mentor, to which she nodded and gave some half-assed reassurance, then ran tests on you. Risotto only watched.

turned out it was nothing. you (and your primary doctor) didn’t have anything to worry about.

all that worrying. for nothing.

you were relieved. okay. that was good... but. jesus christ, really? you wasted all that energy for your tests to come back negative?

being as observant as he is, Risotto could tell you were annoyed. after his mentor confirmed that you were fine and sent you on your way, Risotto led you from the back office to the waiting room. before you could leave, however, he put his hand on your shoulder, gave it a slight squeeze, and told you that piece of reassurance that you needed all this time: ↳ “you’ll be alright. let us know if you need anything else.”

it was a simple statement, and honestly, his expression didn’t change much as he said it. but that way that he comforted you, how he took the time to tell you that yes, everything will be okay, and if it's not, I’m here for you really made you feel special.

the second time you met went much better. it was at a cafe, the coffee shop that you made a habit of stopping at before school. lo and behold, Risotto was there too, no doubt for the same reason. this was it! this was your chance!!

so you hurried behind him in line and struck a conversation. thanking him for taking care of you, what his usual order was, the works. when it came to paying for the drinks, you swooped in and covered him. the rest was history from there.

as a partner, Risotto Nero is... interesting. you can never tell what he’s thinking about. his expressions don’t give off much. sometimes you think that you’re boring him when you’re telling him a story, to which he frowns and says: ↳ “boring me? what gave you the impression that I’m bored?”

he’s also really bad at affection... he’s trying, though! before becoming exclusive, he’d frequently ask you out for dinner. but like. at 10:45 pm, right after getting out of work. and he’d do so very bluntly. ↳ TEXT FROM: RISOTTO    “hey. dinner? on me.”

likewise, he stiffens whenever you give him any physical attention. he won’t return any himself because he’s not actually sure how to react. 

but he’s phenomenal when it comes to quality time and words of affirmation. his residency doesn’t allow him much free time, so you always have his full attention during dates! (he stares a lot when you’re talking... it initially made you uncomfortable, but you’ve become accostomed to it). moreover, he never wastes any time giving you compliments. they’re just kind of plain. ↳ “ah. you look nice today.”

prefers spending time with you at home. it’s much more intimate and quiet.

all in all, dating him in a modern / normal setting wouldn’t differ much from canon!Risotto. he just wouldn’t be doing anything illegal. and he wouldn’t be brutally murdered by Narancia bye.

[butcherknives]

Happy New Year, Leon! Here's to hoping this year is way better than this previous hellscape of a year 😩 Your writing has been so engaging and really fun to read! (Both sfw and nsfw fics + HCs 😉) Your characterization of the Sparda boys is on point and I can't wait to read your future stories. Can I ask for #5 and #8 for writing asks?

Hey, thank you! And happy New Year to you, too. 🤍

Man, I’m hoping 2021 has a few lil blessings to sprinkle in. LOL

2020, though? Never heard of her.

Also, thank you for your kind words! 😎 I’m totally stoked you enjoy my work and I appreciate the fact that you took the time to tell me.

5. Which of your fics do you wish was more successful?

Okay, to be totally honest, this last request I fulfilled is my answer. I actually enjoyed writing it a ton. The lack of attention it got between this blog and AO3 maybe–just a little bit–hurt my feelings. I think it’s partially between being unable to get anything I post to show up in the tags and the transition between blogs, but I’m not going to make excuses. It’s quite possible it just wasn’t as good as it could’ve been and that’s why it didn’t pick up traction or get much interaction.

It happens. No big deal. ✌️

8. Which fic this year was most fun to write?

Nothing’s Gonna Hurt You, Baby has been a ton of fun so far between weaving together plot points and planning out the finer details. (The banter has been pure serotonin.) I can’t wait to start unveiling bits and pieces. Hopefully, everyone who’s been keeping up with it will enjoy it as much as I do! That’s the goal, anyway.

Second place is my short Dadgil prompt, particularly for this bit right here:

“You have nothing to fear,” Vergil is saying to his son. Nero hiccups, yet listens with rapt attention. “Within you flows the blood of Sparda. You’re more formidable than any monster that would dare threaten you harm.”

“I… I am?”

“Yes,” he answers. “So should you have that nightmare again, tell it who you are.”

The underlying context that I hope came through, ultimately, is that this was the mantra Vergil had told himself as a child. This mindset was how he’d survived. He’s learned that so long as he holds onto who he is, he can’t truly be defeated.

Sound advice for his young son.
