    Summary

    Robin’s fingers caught the edge of the bandages wrapped around Nero’s arm. Nero tried to twist away, but the wrappings came partially undone. Red scales and glowing blue veins revealed themselves. Nero moved his arm behind his back, but it was too late. Robin had seen.

    “You’re a meta,” Robin said. Nero felt shame course through him. He didn’t know what a meta was, but he would have to be an idiot not to hear the obvious disgust in Robin’s voice.

    In which a white haired boy gets adopted into a family of bats, but not without some complications along the way.

    Just wait until Dante hears about this.

    Summary

    Nero is sixteen and never knew his birth parents, and he’s done this whole “new home” thing dozens of times before. He’s a rough kid, and he’s been told he has a particularly unpleasant personality, so he never sticks around in one place long.

    Look, it’s not Nero’s fault he’s bad with authority, they just gotta stop telling him what to do and what to think all the damn time. He may or may not have punched his last foster father in the face during a heated argument about Nero being allowed out of the house.

    Yeah. It’s no wonder no one wants to keep him around.

    In other words; Vergil is the head of a gang, Dante is a private detective, and Nero is a high school student new to town. Their lives will collide in a spectacular, and violent, family reunion.

    Summary

    Neri’s life is hard—no family, no friends, and a look that has people think of her as damned before she even opens her mouth. Little does she know how things will change. Fem!Nero.

    The caretakers at the orphanage look at her with disgust. They whisper nasty things about her looks when they think she can’t hear; ”a sign of hell, blessing of the devil.”

    Neri would look at her hair and try to see what the others saw. What about it caused so much disdain? Something about her hair must be ugly, misshapen, unfortunate.

    Something must be wrong with her, otherwise nothing would make sense.

    Summary

    When Nero's demonic arm develops early, Agnus takes him for experimentation. It's a horrifying experience.

    ...

    The guard looks down at him with a snarl, but doesn’t say anything. The last guard that laid hands on him disappeared after Agnus found out they were ruining his “precious experiment.”

    And that’s how Agnus treats him. Not just as a freak, but something important.

    He’s never been important to anyone before.

    If this is what good attention feels like, then Nero despises it. He’d rather be hated.

    Summary

    “May His light shine and blind my eyes to what my hand shall do.” he uttered, lashes landing on his cheeks as he closed his eyes in prayer. But it was one that went unanswered and hopeless.

    Each emotion that Nero broadcasted in the language of his own was read plain as day by Kyrie. Every little thing that revealed the pain he was in. That was the curse of such intimate familiarity. They could both feel that this fight was hardly an easy choice to make, though there was now a thick shroud of doubt about if the hybrid really ever cared about him at all. The sword Kyrie drew was long and thin, a rapier of sliver of glittering silver metal which ended in an ornate caged handle. Nero was familiar with it; Kyrie’s own cherished sword Chamuel.

    Summary

    MANKIND IS DEAD
    S2 still considers himself more Man than Machine. He clings onto the name given to him by a long-dead woman, he laughs despite the artificial edge to his voice, and he plays despite the clinking of metal in his bones. He tries to honor an extinct species as a final testament to their horrific glory. He doesn’t blame them - not all of them.

    BLOOD IS FUEL
    S1 considers himself more Machine than Man. He only remembers his name due to his obnoxious brother, he refuses to emote despite the long-dead instincts, and he operates based on efficiency, not flashiness. He blames them - but there is nothing left to blame.

    HELL IS FULL
    S3 isn't sure if he is Man or Machine. He didn't really know enough about humanity to decide. S1.3 had told him stories, of course - he gave them like gifts. The most important thing he gave S3 was a name, but it's not like there's anyone left to use it.

    (aka: the dmc parallels/references were already obvious, might as well)

    Nero's having trouble with his Devil Trigger, and Vergil more or less helps him. Dante, being the considerate family member he is, gives them space—unknowingly starting something about daddy issues, disconcerting staring, and unresolved tension.
