    Summary

    Vergil was the strong one; the one that weathered each storm as they came. It was his duty, his role, to be the one to stand in front and break the wind before it could hit his brother.

    Dante was the sheltered one. Protected by their mother, by circumstance, and by Vergil himself, even if Dante was too blind to recognize it.

    Thrown through time and space, on a morbid expedition of his brother’s life, Vergil lives through the worst moments of Dante’s life and finally begins truly understand the brother he always thought he had completely figured out.

    Summary

    When Vergil wakes up, he's covered with curse sigils all over his body, with a face that wasn't his, a skin that wasn't his, a body that wasn't his. Vergil comes to a quick and yet dreadful realization. He was brought back alive.
    Whoever the owner of this body was, they were gone in exchange for his soul.

    ***

    AU where Vergil died at the end of DMC1, V wasn't Vergil in the first place, and they had a deal.
    Co-starring: Dante being protective, Griffon being secretive, and Nero being supportive.

    Summary

    His eyes shot open.

    He was in his bed, his alarm clock blaring at his side.

    The screen blinked: time 6:00 AM, date 16th of May.

    ----

    Or the one where Dante is stuck in a time loop, forced to endlessly wake up and watch Nero shoot himself in the head. No explanation.

    He has two minutes from the second he wakes up to the second the gun is fired. How many times must Dante watch the kid die in his arms before he can finally save him? And why did it take him getting stuck in an endless gory time warp for him to come to terms with his feelings?
