Mercy- AU of the aftermath of the attack that killed Eva.

They'd been dropped callously before him, two tiny trembling forms of red and blue, silver hair shining in the false heavenly light of his throne room. The twin spawn of his most hated enemy here before him. Such a shame the two's dam had been unable to accompany them.

The great dark Lord Mundus stared down from his great height at the nestlings. Observing how the red one buried his face in the blue's chest, whimpering and sobbing whilst his brother tried to glare up at the towering demon. Blue's own arms trembled though, giving away his fear as he tried to protect his brother. red and blue, mixed together to become purple, the colour the cursed Sparda had enjoyed whilst in his human form.

Mundus chuckled and left his seat, shifting, morphing into his own human form. An angelic man shining with light he bent down to the twins, lowering a hand in benediction to touch the silver hair gently to the shocked gasps of the surrounding lords.

He took no notice except to smile in amusement as teeth and nails attacked his hand futilely, listening to the nestlings growls with pleasure.

Yes, he mused as slowly they stopped their pathetic attack to stare at him cautiously with blue eyes, a little mercy could go a long way.

Chuckling the Dark Lord stroked the hair of his new knights-in-training.

Modesty- Takes place in my female!Dante AU Manga meeting

Together again for the first time since their mothers death, the twins stared at each other.

Blue and red, male and female, ice and fire, yin and yang. they were polar opposites yet as one being. Each examined the other with a touch of uncertainty, though the brother hid his well. Until one matter asserted itself.

Vergil's eyebrow twitched. "Dante..." he forced out through gritted teeth as he stared at his baby sisters grown form. "Couldn't you have..." a strangled noise, "Dressed more appropriately?!"

Dante looked down at her open coat for a moment, then smirked, throwing her head back and laughing at Vergil's obvious discomfort.

Magic - Crackfic, various crossovers.

Dante had come to regard magic as a pain in the arse.

Aside from the amateur practitioners, whacked out teens and Satanists causing all kinds of mayhem with their misuse of the art, there were also a few strange encounters that to this day left him wishing he'd never bothered to climb out of bed in the first place.

There was that time he'd been chasing some kind of black robed creep and found some kids with wooden sticks shooting silver animals out of them. And then another time when he'd met some freaky cultists with masks shooting green lights and yelling Avada Kedavra! at the top of their voices much to his bemusement.

Another time he'd passed three witches, overhearing some muttering about knicker elastic, the usefulness of an Igor and how rude young devils were nowadays, before he was hit round the ankles with a broomstick.

And then in Japan, during a quick, sneaky inspection of a shrine he'd been forced to hide quick as a young girl climbed out of a well and was followed by a red clad, white haired boy with dog ears. He'd almost gone after the kid for stealing his look, but had been distracted as to where in hell they'd managed to come from.

Magic was just plain confusing.

Marksmanship- Sparda, guns

Sparda had watched curiously as the gunsmith worked, forging for him a pair of these newfangled inventions called guns.

He'd taken them eagerly out back barely after the metal had cooled and the parts were assembled, Luce and Ombra they had already been christened. Man made and enthused with demonic energy he couldn't wait to try them out. Raising Ombra he did as he'd been instructed, watched by the gunsmith.

BANG! Ombra went off with a most satisfactory noise and demonstrated her effectiveness by creating a large hole in the target tree's bark. However Sparda wasn't quite prepared for the force that rushed back at him and knocked him off his feet, white hair now askew and monocle broken irreparably he glared at the gunsmith.

"Eh... yeah, should'a warned you 'bout that kickback." The man smiled apologetically.

I got the idea for the first one early today. And then after writing it I decided to do a few more, all based on words beginning with the letter 'M'. Hope you enjoy.
