    Summary

    One year after Vergil and Dante dove headfirst into hell, Nero has been defending humanity. He's gotten stronger, dispatching the final demons in the remnants of Redgrave with ease. But no matter how much he tries to distract himself, he can't help but stare at V's book and wonder:

    'Will they ever come back?'

    Meanwhile, Mundus is planning to return. He's been gathering his forces, and something interesting has caught his eye. Thin, glowing blue strips have been appearing in hell at random. Portals. Hundreds of them. They are small at first-just scratches-but as they slowly devour the reality of space, they will grow wide enough for his entire army to invade the human realm and He, the Prince of Darkness, will truly become a King of all.

    But what power is this from? It feels like Sparda, but different. The twins are trapped here, so it can't be them. Plus the Yamato can only work in a single dimension at a time, it can't be the bridge.

    Mundus shows his teeth in a knowing, wicked grin. "So, there is a third."

    Summary

    The Qliphoth, a demonic tree capable of crystallizing human blood into demonic power. When Vergil learns he can ingest its seed to transform himself into a full demon, he does not hesitate. After all, the only cost is his ability to form human bonds, and he has no use for such weaknesses. That is… until he learns he has a son, a ten year old boy in desperate need of a parent to love him. The blue roses crawling out of his mouth just might mean something has gone horribly wrong with his ritual…

    A collaborative illustrated fic inspired by Hanahaki stories for Dadgil Week, by The Writing Squid (writing/outline) and Labyeha (art/outline).

    Summary

    The voice continues, “Hey, down here.”

    Vergil complies against his better judgment, but it takes him a second to realise where the sound is even supposed to be coming from. It's only when his shadow's left hand, the one not clutching the Yamato, moves of its own accord to rub against his shadow's face that he realises what must be happening. A shadow cannot be fought so easily, but even intangible demons can be bested. He must bide his time. His eyes narrow at the offending invader and he voices, “Who are you?"

    There’s a slight pause, as the shadow tilts its head. Finally, it replies, “The name’s Nero. And don’t scowl too much, it makes you look older than you are.”
