Summary
Dante settled into the worn, faded cushions of the seat, a soft chuckle escaping his lips as he glanced at his brother. “Do you remember what we used to do as kids?” he teased, his eyes twinkling with nostalgia.
Vergil's face contorted into one of absolute revulsion, his lip curling in disdain. He pierced Dante with a sharp, contemptuous gaze that seemed to dismiss the very notion. “Absolutely not, Dante,” he retorted, his voice dripping with irritation. “I will not engage in such a ridiculous charade,” he spat.Vergil may be a master at many forms of battle, but fatherhood? That's one conflict he still needs to figure out. Dante proposes an unconventional solution when Nero's birthday approaches: a good old-fashioned twin switch. For once, it's not the worst idea his younger brother has had—much to his reluctant acceptance at the wager of competing with his brother. There's just one catch: Vergil must stumble through maintaining his brother's chaotic persona...

Summary
“...ro…Nero!” Hands grabbed hold of his shoulders, and soon, he was shaken.
The nestling’s eyes grew wide, and he snapped out of whatever hell came over him. Nero was panting and looking around wildly before he heard his father calling out his name again. His eyes finally met Vergil’s once more, and he saw that his father’s mask had crumbled slightly.
“What…What were you looking at?” Vergil asked, confused. He looked over to where Nero had been looking. Nero followed his gaze and saw that the bench was empty.

Summary
When Vergil jumps down the Qliphoth to enter the underworld and cut its roots, Nero cannot let it go. He snatches Dante out of the way and leaps after his father, desperate for answers that have plagued him all his life. His plan contains one major flaw, however: neither him nor Vergil are any good at communication, and the road to the Qliphoth roots is longer than he'd expected.

Summary
Vergil walked back into Dante’s life the same way he did everything else; without a care for how it might effect anyone but himself. But that also meant Vergil was back, and Dante was prepared to do just about anything to keep him there. Anything, of course, other than ask him to stay.

Summary
"Do you know how to kill a dragon?" Dante asked. It was something Dante had asked many times through out the years. Over and over, the same words, the same pleading look in his eyes, the same question that Vergil could no more answer as an adult man than he had the first time Dante had asked it at eight.
Perhaps the nonsense words meant something; perhaps Dante was trying to tell Vergil something in his own strange way.
Or perhaps, Vergil's little brother was simply as foolish as he had always suspected he was.
"Or," Dante started again, "do you still not get it?"

Summary
Dante's convinced that the best part of returning from Hell is getting to eat pizza again. Seeing his favorite nephew is an added bonus.
When their impromptu family reunion ends up going far worse than he'd have liked, Dante quickly realizes that Nero isn't as fine as he thought the kid would be. His behavior is uncannily close to how Dante acted after he was forced to kill Nelo Angelo.
Talking things out was never Dante's strong suit but he figures he's gotta do something before he loses the family he'd just put back together.

Summary
An awfully vague mission description causes Nero and Dante to be gravely underprepared for a fight. Instead of facing off against some weak lesser demons, they are greeted by a strange type of Angelo that even Dante wasn't sure existed. When the demon outsmarts them, Nero is prepared to protect Dante at any cost. Even if the cost is his own life. He's not exactly thrilled when Vergil is the one to show up at the last second to turn the tide and allow them to escape.
_
Or: Nero takes the bullet for Dante and Vergil saves the day and finally tries to be a good father - with mild success.
