DMC FANFIC MASTERPOST

Series

Grip: Post-DMC5 family-centered dysfunction & fun! 2 works, G-T rated, ongoing

  • the devil’s got my arms: Vergil & Dante return from hell and crash Nero’s latest job. Things go exactly as smoothly as they did last time. (20 chapters, complete.)
  • briars, my joys and desires: mid-quel centered around a brief trip to a world too dream-like for Vergil’s liking, yet, he likes it. (3 chapters, complete.)

The Escape: Hades AU, 7 chapters, complete

  • As a Prince of the Underworld, Nero is entitled to all the glory and leisure befit to the gods of his distant family on Olympus. Yet, he has anything but an actual family, and he'll fight for the rest of his eternal life to find one.

Drift: Pacific Rim AU, 4/6 chapters, on hiatus

  • Dante & Nero’s tumultuous experience as drift-compatible pilots of Sparda’s famed demonic jaegers, thrown together in one last-ditch effort to fight the demonic invasion of the human world, under the command of the mysterious V.

Jaded Jewels: Prequel one-shot collection of the Sparda family before and after they fell apart. 

  • Ruby Red: Eva-centric musings centered around the fateful amulets she gave her sons, and what they were truly meant for. (Pre-canon, implied character death, sad Eva headcanons)
  • Saccharine Silver: Tony Redgrave wanders into a part of his namesake city he never thought he’d see again. (Pre-canon, sad Dante hours)
One-shots
  • It’s a Boy!Dante & co throw Vergil a very-belated baby shower for his newly-devil-triggered bundle of joy 🎉 (Dadgil, family bonding, team as family, canon compliant, everyone teams up to tease Vergil.)
  • Open Seams: Nero decides to learn how to sew for Kyrie and gets some help from a surprising source. (Canon compliant, father-son bonding, brief Nerokiri, egregious use of sewing terms, family fluff.)
  • Try, Try Again: Teen Dad!Vergil raises baby Nero AU. All of the typical chaos and incidental fluff.
  • Catching Up Nero needs a favor, and he’s got a pretty tight deadline. But the local devil hunters aren’t about to let their best down. (Slight SE spoilers.)

That’s it for DMC stuff, other fics from miscellaneous fandoms can be found on my profile here!

The Gollum game is such an incredible throwback. Back in the PS2 era that type of buggy movie tie-in game was a dime a dozen & no one would've even noticed but by virtue of coming out in 2023, the last of its breed, it's a king, beheld with quiet horror by all. It crashes every five minutes even on the best hardware and when apologizing for its instability the devs misspelled their own game's name

"It looks like a PS2 game" is usually an inane insult and I guess it is if used for graphics here but in every other way? Yes, it's exactly like something that went right into the budget racks in 2004. It captures the weird frenzy of LotR releases during the trilogy so perfectly, it's like those ones that had the book license but not the movie one or one of the weirder spin-offs EA jammed out to exploit the license
