Summary
Caleb Widogast's life is finally looking like it's on track: he's got a good job, his friends are all doing well, he remembers to take decent care of himself, and his familiar is the most popular figure in the Nicodranas library. Things are finally good. But are things ever truly quiet when your friends are The Mighty Nein?
Dr. Essek Theylss has been exiled to the worst place his mother could think of — bright, sunny Nicodranas. Luckily, unbeknownst to her, Essek has a friend there already. Unbeknownst to him, his friend has been impatient to drag him into her shenanigans for a very long time.

Summary
11/23/2025- Updating this fic after a long hiatus! Every chapter will be updated for flow, style, errors, and general readability. Some chapters will have changed content for story consistency. Some chapters in the 30s will be fully rewritten, or they will be reused for a more appropriate place in the timeline. Any chapters with updates will have an A/N listing the nature of the changes and the date!
Tavryn had a bleeding heart, something feral just beneath the surface, and allies aplenty. Perhaps protection from a vampire lord was a bit much to ask of a stranger, but surely a lover would have a vested interest. And the groundwork was already set.
All he needed was to get the man to fall for him. Easy enough.
Follows Astarion getting to know my Tav (Tavryn), throughout the events of the game (with some alterations). Learning how similar they are, that healing is harder than it looks, and finding themselves in the face of disaster.
Spoilers from Act 1 through Credits. Tags and warnings will be updated per chapter- see chapter notes for individual chapter warnings

Summary
Astarion had an agreement with his lover: as his lover died and he continued undying, he would find them. Every time, every reincarnation, every life.
Until he failed them.
Arryn doesn’t know why the pale elf is so flirtatious, or why he feels so familiar. It’s probably just a feeling. It probably doesn’t mean anything at all…Bookmarked by RandomObserver

Summary
Straining tears leak from his eyes.
“Oh, love.” A wet hand on Tav’s cheek, brushing away a tear but only bloodying him more. The coolness is soothing, still. His eyes shutter closed. “No, no. Tav, look at me. Stay with me. Tav, please. I...”
Blearily, Tav wills himself to look. One last time.
No words can describe the look in those wide eyes, his face a tangle of dark lines. Half of his perfect white hair is caked in blood.
Perfectly imperfect, his Astarion, and Tav—he must be a wreck, coated red and black except for his eyes, dimming.
Again, Astarion: “Please. Stay with me.”
***
Two kindred spirits, a traumatized, chaotic ex-courtesan bard and a rogue vampire, get tadpoled and make it everyone else's problem.
Astarion x trans m!Tav. Loosely follows the game plot.

Summary
On a demon hunt in Fortuna, an incident with the Yamato leads to Vergil and Nero trapped with endless waves of demons pouring through an open portal to Hell with no way of closing it.
In which Vergil and Nero come to understand each other through a four-day odyssey of blood, and deal with the consequences thereafter.
Or: How Dante, Vergil, and Nero learn to become a family again despite all their painful history. Copious amounts of angst, whump, hurt/comfort, with equally large servings of brotherly and father-son fluff to make up for it.

Summary
"Do you know anyone who messes with this kind of stuff?" Nero does his best not to fidget under her assessing stare.
"I might," Trish eventually says. "There's a witch I met a while back who studies demons."
"Really? Where are they?"
"Slow down, boy. Witches can be nasty to deal with. This one especially. Study is a word I used to be polite. One look at you and he might swallow you whole."

Summary
The Qliphoth, a demonic tree capable of crystallizing human blood into demonic power. When Vergil learns he can ingest its seed to transform himself into a full demon, he does not hesitate. After all, the only cost is his ability to form human bonds, and he has no use for such weaknesses. That is… until he learns he has a son, a ten year old boy in desperate need of a parent to love him. The blue roses crawling out of his mouth just might mean something has gone horribly wrong with his ritual…
A collaborative illustrated fic inspired by Hanahaki stories for Dadgil Week, by The Writing Squid (writing/outline) and Labyeha (art/outline).

Summary
A young boy with white hair and baby blue eyes, no older than four if he had to guess, was standing his ground in front of some older kids. That boy…he wasn’t an ordinary child. V could tell just by looking at him. He had demonic power, only a little but it was still there. He could feel a pull towards him, one that was indescribable other than paternal instinct. If there was one thing he was absolutely certain about, it was that this boy was his son.
----------------
V escapes from Mundus and finds himself in Fortuna, and discovers that he has a son waiting for him. Determined to right his wrongs, he decides to adopt him and be the father he never knew he was. Of course, trying to raise a quarter-demon child isn't easy, especially when V doesn't know what he's doing, but parenting is a learning experience in itself as he's about to learn.

Summary
There was a reason hybrids between human and demon were so rare. Even a pregnancy in a normal human pairing was taxing upon the mother but with a hybrid it was more often than not lethal. Human and demons were never truly meant to breed and for all successful pregnancies there were thousands of deaths, of stillborn or infants born only to die moments later from their conflicting nature or grotesque malformations. Or of purely demonic young eating their way out of their mothers and both dying as a result.
Mundus went through many humans, women abducted to the demon world by his minions, until one survived through the pregnancy long enough to birth a child which could pass for traditional human being. One which was too demonic in appearance was no use- he wanted eyes and ears within the mortal realm. Someone who could slip pass demon repellents and could search without scrutiny into unlocking the seals holding him prisoner. Something that could slip past Sparda's notice and to search, under the radar, for ways to fully manifest into the human world. For all Mundus looked down upon humans he wouldn't dismiss a tool without testing its use first.
You never had a normal childhood.

Summary
Being a parent wasn’t easy, nor was there such thing as being perfect at it. Good news for Dante, seeing as how he doesn’t have the slightest idea in hell what to do with a child.
Sometimes, he was certain that fighting off a hoard of demons was a far better match than keeping up with his own daughter. Well, at least he wasn’t going down without a fight.
