Disclaimer: Don't own Devil May Cry.

This was written for the 1sentence group on livejournal: you are given fifty themes and write a sentence for each of them about a pairing. These take place in the Rapture fic-verse, so I decided to have it be another side-chapter. The real part IX will be posted on Friday, which is regularily when I update.

This takes into account what was revealed in the Veiwtiful Joe AU Kamiya (the director of DMC1) did, which is that Eva's soul is in the amulet and was what brought Trish back to life in the game. These sentences are little snapshots of moments. Let me know what you think, okay?

#01 – Comfort

Sparda always carried hot tea, to comfort the living with a little thing, a trapping of the rational world demons were outside, and breathing in the steam Eva knew this was one of the little things that made him greater than human.

#02 – Kiss

The first time they'd kissed, he had been afraid his teeth would grow into fangs of their own accord and known with shame she'd feared the same: neither had expected their noses to bump into each other.

#03 – Soft

Soft hair and smooth, flawless skin: Eva wondered, running her fingers through it, how anyone could miss the fact he was inhumanly perfect.

#04 – Pain

He lay there betrayed, dying, and knew the pain he felt as his soul left his body was nothing next to the pain she would feel when he never came home.

#05 – Potatoes

His antique clothing looked perfectly at home amidst echoing halls and antique rooms, but utterly ridiculous smiling at her in a fast food joint as she ate her French fries.

#06 – Rain

The rain was pouring down now, and the children were probably crying for their bottles, but Eva didn't want to go inside: to go inside would be to give up on him coming home.

#07 – Chocolate

The second time she'd met him, she'd been fascinated that a creature that fed on pain and death had a fondness for chocolates.

#08 – Happiness

He'd always gloried in blood and death and the destruction of his enemies, the strength and power of his own devil's blood, so why was spending time with a human he could kill with one blow making him the happiest he had ever been?

#09 – Telephone

She really should be keeping the line clear (what if someone called with a demon problem?) but talking about the Divine Comedy with someone who had met the author was just too fascinating.

#10 – Ears

She had told herself that she kept examining him minutely to find some trace of his inhuman nature, well, there was his shadow, but shouldn't he have fangs or pointed ears or something?

#11 – Name

In Latin, the first human language he had learned, Eve was Eva, and sometimes he felt that he was indeed a serpent, wanting her to abandon her purity for him.

#12 – Sensual

She should be fleeing in terror from his insect-like devil form, not running unclawed hands along the ridged carapace in a way that made him want to devour her.

#13 – Death

"I'm being terribly selfish, aren't I Sparda, I mean I'm human and I'm going to die and leave you alone and that's one more reason we shouldn't be together, but I don't care."

#14 – Sex

Human women had collapsed smelling of blood because of him before, but she was the first to do so still breathing, let alone gasp out, "Wow," and pull him down for a kiss.

#15 – Touch

The terrifying creature that stood before her felt smooth and hard under her hands, so different from skin softer than hers, but still the warmth was the same.

#16 – Weakness

Demons revered strength and despised weakness: he should kill her when she was wounded, not save her, but, after all, for a human she was the strongest soul he had ever seen.

#17 – Tears

She should stop this now: devils never cried, after all, and Sparda would certainly never have wished her to shed tears over him.

#18 – Speed

He moved with blinding speed when he fought, silent death that brought despair to those who faced him, skill and strength that left her behind in the dust: and yet he waited for her.

#19 – Wind

The wind was whipping the lace of his cravat out of place, so she fixed it for him.

#20 – Freedom

Two little words and she'd be giving away her freedom, binding herself to the thing who had enthralled her until she died, but she loved him so it was easy to say, "I do."

#21 – Life

The hunters of the world must think her even more of a damned traitor now that she was breeding with it, but feeling the flutters of new life within her she really didn't give a damn.

#22 – Jealousy

It was a good thing she hadn't been with anyone before him: it would be a shame to kill his first innocent human in two thousand years out of jealousy.

#23 – Hands

His hands were strong enough, even in this human form and with his powers sealed, to punch through stone and yet they trembled holding their children until Eva, still exhausted from the delivery, told him to put them down on her before he dropped them, for whatever's sake.

#24 – Taste

He could see her fear, anger, hate, all the dark emotions his kind fed on, taste a trace of her blood when he kissed her, know what it would be like to devour her.

#25 – Devotion

She hated single motherhood, the two of them were running her ragged, but they were his children and now her life was utterly devoted to them.

#26 – Forever

His soul would exist forever in this Devil Arm long after she was dead and dust.

#27 – Blood

His blood was one of the keys that could undo the seal that protected this world, and now his blood slumbered under her heart.

#28 – Sickness

She had been irritated for some stupid reason when he'd told her he couldn't catch the flu, but having someone to bring her tissues and hot chocolate had more than made up for it.

#29 – Melody

He had had two thousand years to kill so she shouldn't be surprised he knew how to play the piano, she thought as she hummed along.

#30 – Star

When Eva had been thirteen she'd had a crush on the actor who had played Sparda in the movie, but the real thing was much, much better.

#31 – Home

Eva stared blankly for a while, finally saying, "Between your shadow and the fact that you wear skull jewelry, don't you think you're making it easy enough for people to figure out who you are without the Dracula-style castle?"

#32 – Confusion

After changing their diapers, checking to see that their bottles were full, burping them, rocking them in her arms and singing a lullaby, Eva finally admitted to herself that without her almost mind-reading husband, she had no clue why the babies were crying.

#33 – Fear

She had died not knowing what had happened to him, died after years of living constantly with heartbreak and the fear that whatever had taken him from her would come for his children.

#34 - Lightning/Thunder

The first night in years there was another warm body in her bed, Eva had muzzily murmured, "Sparda, tuck the sheets in, it's getting cold," before she woke up enough to realize it was the boys, scared by the thunder.

#35 – Bonds

Finding out that the Sparda bank her father had had dealings with was owned by the actual Sparda had been a strange moment: seeing him talk with a subordinate about the bond market was peanuts after that.

#36 – Market

He dressed like a lord of old and the people here treated him like one, Eva thought as she walked through the village market, covertly watched by those curious about the new lady of the manor.

#37 – Technology

Sparda had fought with gun and sword, a harmony of technology and magic, human and demonic strength, so it struck her as strange that his half-blood sons each held one superior to the other.

#38 – Gift

When he had offered the Amulet to her as a gift she had grinned, taken it and said, "Most women only get little gems, but you've given me the fate of the world to wear around my neck like a pretty bauble."

#39 – Smile

It broke her heart when Vergil smiled: he looked so much like his father.

#40 – Innocence

She wasn't sure, but she thought her children had lost the last of their innocence the day she had had to kill someone she had greeted as an old friend for trying to kill his children.

#41 – Completion

When the amulets had been joined together and her soul awakened, the sword was unsealed and his soul awakened: brought together again after an eternity by their children.

#42 – Clouds

The dark clouds turned the day his enemies came for her children into a night darker than her Dark Knight.

#43 – Sky

The sky was crying white tears of snow as she lay there dying, the desperate plea that at least one of the seeds of their love would survive this attack answered.

#44 – Heaven

Being stuck in a piece of gaudy jewelry wasn't her idea of heaven, especially not when she was forced to watch, helpless, as Vergil was tortured, but she wasn't complaining about playing guardian angel: only when she had her love with her had she ever rested in peace.

#45 – Hell

She had been brought up as a child to believe in the horrors of Hell and seen as a teenager the evil of the Underworld, but then she'd met a kind and compassionate demon.

#46 – Sun

Even though he was a creature of darkness, the sun had never burnt him, though she thought he was just as handsome with a tan.

#47 – Moon

She'd always been a night owl, demons came out by night after all, but she'd gained a new appreciation for the silver moon and the deep purple cloak of night.

#48 – Waves

She had avoided the sea at night after he died: deep dark color and silver crests were one of many things that made her remember what she was missing.

#49 – Hair

Silver and gold: she'd thought it was wrong that he was the less valuable of the two.

#50 - Supernova

She'd always wanted to go out with a bang, she thought as Dante fell and she cast the spell that was the last thing she could do to protect the only things left of him in the world.
