Disclaimer: I don't own Devil May Cry.

If you read Centuries, you've seen these drabbles before. I removed ones of certain pairings to post them by pairing.

1. Chinese

"Okay, I'll bite."

"Please do." She lifted another piece to her mouth.

He snorted. "How do you know how to use chopsticks?"

"Mundus was trying to conquer all of earth, sugar, not just the Roman Empire. I was plying my trade in what is now China while Alastor was assassinating rebel leaders in that empire."

"Oh." He shoveled noodles into his mouth (not as good as pizza). "How was the food back then?"

"A bit hzarak for my tastes, but if you chased them for a bit the adrenaline would make you not notice."

"I wasn't asking about the blood."

2. Fire – Sparda Emperor AU, Prince Dante, companion to Ice (Centuries set 20) and set 19 Diplomatic – for Splendid Shadows

He hated paparazzi. You couldn't go anywhere without cameras in your face! Say a few words to some starlet who likes your music and all the tabloids are saying she's pregnant. Yeah right. His parents would kill him metaphorically, Vergil might kill him literally.

His father might really kill him when he reached the age of consent in five hundred years and married a succubus.

Father wasn't going to live forever, and the more harmless he seemed the less likely one of Vergil's supporters would kill him to clarify the succession. Vergil would kill them, but that wouldn't help Dante.

3. Doll – Dante's reaction to toys of himself – for Bloody Puppet

Dante groaned. "This is worse than the goddamn tabloids! That's what I get for being nice to a client!"

"They don't look that much like you," Nevan tried to sound sympathetic, but even with his eyes pinched shut he knew she grinned. "And we are getting royalties, sugar."

"Demon Hunter action figures. Dolls! Enzo is never going to stop laughing."

"All sorts of people make Sparda action figures."

"But they didn't know what he really looked like. Can we make him stop?"

"They're already in the stores." Nevan had brought a few knowing Dante would shoot the maker's free sample.

4. Harmony

She couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. Nevan sang like a siren and was a guitar, Dante sang and played piano, drums and guitar, and she couldn't even sing a little even after getting Nevan (her rival) to coach her.

Trish sighed, looked at the sheet music, and tried to remember what the one with two tails meant.

Maybe she'd get better with more than a week's work of practice, but… Dante loved music. He loved his jam sessions. With Nevan.

She wanted to be a part of that. She wanted to have fun with him, not just fighting.

5. Crazy – Nevan's position at DMC – for Alexander – Godslayer

He didn't really know why he had a demoness secretary. Back in New York, he'd made Enzo do all the work. Now he was in Metropolis, he was setting up a new shop and getting so many jobs he was busy as hell.

She was hot. Maybe that was why he kept her in human form almost all the time. She was fun to jam with. Beautiful voice. She was manipulative, got things done quickly for him. Black dress suit. He'd trust her to do missions solo. They had the same sense of humor.

Love. A demon? That was crazy.
