Note: AU here doesn't always mean AU of DMC itself, just of my ficverse. I've been trying to keep it so most of the stuff I write is contiguous, eg. Seen the Glory happens right after Beautiful Music

1. Rubies - Lucia/Nevan – AU for Alexander – Godslayer

Looking at herself in the mirror, she knew she had been made to look like this. Feeling her ample breasts, she felt disgusted by Arius. Had he had a Lolita complex? He'd created them.

She'd been created as a weapon, and a succubus as well. She knew fighting, but she needed to know what the rest of that meant. Needed to know who she was and what she wasn't going to be. So she'd asked the expert.

She'd learned a lot about two bodies so much like each other. It wasn't what that mattered but who. Sex with Nevan? Wonderful.

2. Lack - Nevan/Matier – AU for Alexander – Godslayer (You know, when we were discussing yuri pairings, even crack ones, this never came up so kudos to you)

"Just another succubus. It would have been a stain on his honor, to break his sacred self-control for a fling. Pass the mead."

"A little, love-struck, hero-worshipping part-blood." Matier passed the mead. "I'm old now, he would have had to watch me die."

"Instead he marries a human! Just a human! Weak and mortal! Don't tell Dante I said that, he'll dunk me in Holy Water." Nevan swigged. "What did she have that we don't!"

"She was a very impressive woman, but you're certainly not lesser."

"Thank you. You're not too old yourself. Let's show his soul what it missed."

3. Abstinence - Nevan/Alastor – AU for Alexander – Godslayer

Without breaking their kiss she smashed him up against the back of the storage closet. Finally.

Beowulf had his precious honor, Agni and Rudra tried their hardest (and their swords were pretty big) but they were just kids, the Doppelganger, which had been her salvation back in the tower only came out when Dante willed it and Dante had his mission.

It had been way, way too damn long since she'd had a good lay with another thunder demon.

His sword was pretty impressive, too, but it was how you wielded it that…

"Nevan?" The door opened. The door closed.

4. Cherubim - Lucia/Lady – AU for Alexander – Godslayer

Bright white wings soared above. She was an angel. A Guardian angel, not a demon or devil.

Lady understood why Lucia had tried not to show her her devil form. Dante tried not to use any of his around her either. It was nice that they had that consideration for her feelings, even if she didn't include them in the demons she had sworn to kill. Lucia had a human heart as well. Dante said she had cried.

She'd even been created by a human, wrong as that was. Lady still wasn't sure about Trish.

But Lucia was an angel.

5. Lucia/Vergil – AU for Alexander – Godslayer

"I don't know exactly what you went through, Son of Sparda."

"I'm not worthy to be called that. Mundus defeated and enslaved me. Dante's the true heir, he inherited Father's power, not me."

"You survived with your mind intact. That is very impressive. But I was created as a slave, and I'm afraid of it. What if there is… buried programming? What if I attack the humans someday? What if I kill Matier?"

"I don't know everything he did to my head. That's why I had to get away from Dante."

"I understand you, a little." Her hand took his.

6. Loyalty - Dante/Griffon – AU for Alexander – Godslayer

His new bow was silent in his hands.

He was relieved there was a devil arm. Unless… Mundus had been the one to finish him off. Would this bow shoot him? But then, Vergil had been the one to finish off Beowulf, and Beowulf had had to submit to him.

"You served him loyally, and he just threw that away." Dante shook his head. "I'm even madder at him now, if that's possible." Trish looked on as Dante fired, white lightening arching across the courtyard. "He won't get away with this, any of it." Breaking his servant's heart.

"…Thank you."

7. Ancient Lamp – prompt the Yu-gi-oh card I just got with this month's Shonen Jump

"You have freed me from my imprisonment, mortal! For this service, I shall grant you a wish."

"One question first: what are you going to do now you're loose?" He'd read his mythology, and he knew an Ifrit when he accidentally shot to pieces the lamp one had been imprisoned in.

"I shall rain down terror from the sky, burn the cities of man to dust and laugh, mortal! But I will spare you to watch." Too many teeth. Typical.

Dante aimed. "Here's my wish: die." He could use another pair of fire gauntlets since he'd given his to Trish.

8. Nightmare

If this really was some pocket dimension, why not lock him up and throw away the key? This had to be inside his mind, Dante decided as he fought the Phantom that wasn't like any Phantom he'd seen. You could hardly get the damn things to shut up.

This had to be some sort of mental plane, the enemies representations of what was keeping him here.

Still, it hurt to have to fight Vergil again, now he knew the Dark Knight was Vergil. He was 90 sure he wasn't dead, Mundus wouldn't let him have a quick and merciful death.

9. Steelcage – also a Yu-gi-oh card prompt

Bars… these rooms had once been cages, and he was pretty sure it hadn't been the demons that lived there, no matter that they were here now. It had been millennia, and he could still smell it.

Blood.

Or maybe the tang of iron was just from the bars. They hadn't rusted, but this place was very sturdy, like the clown had said.

He didn't want to imagine what had been done to human captives here. He didn't want to imagine what was happening out there now the seal was broken.

If he lost there'd be nowhere to escape to.
