Summary
The world is on fire, ravaged by an ongoing demon invasions ever since Mundus opened his first portal on Mallet Island. Not even Dumary Island, a bastion against the underworld, is spared the onslaught. The Order of the Sword and its young Chosen One soon become the last line of defence for humanity. Nero is still a fiery, impulsive teenager, helped on the battlefield by his older brother, Credo, and the world's best gun-for-hire and demon hunter, Lady, but even that seems insufficient to stop Mundus's twin knight generals. If they want to stand a chance, Lucia will need more than the Devil Heart of Dumary Island, and Nero will have to master the Yamato, a devil sword which unleashes his bloodlust in dangerous ways. Doing so, however, may lead them to secrets about the Order and the blessings bestowed by Sparda best left alone.

Summary
Some days, Vergil thought he should have let himself fall into Hell.
He had caught Dante’s hand by reflex, against his better judgement, against his pride. But once his brother held on, it had turned impossible to let go. The humiliation of defeat had tightened his chest with every step of their way back to the human world, filling the silence between them, burning away any words they had left. It stayed with Vergil long after he’d vanished, leaving Dante and the scorching memories behind.
None of it compared to the utter hopelessness of watching a three-year-old child throw a tantrum on the floor while wearing pants stained from his diarrhea. And not just any three year old, his.

Cavit Ro Voyager Alternate Retelling (Season One) by ApostropheN
Fandom Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Voyager
31 Oct 2021
Summary
A re-telling of Star Trek: Voyager's first season with two major changes: First, the Voyager senior crew who survived the trip to the Delta Quadrant is reversed, leaving Commander Cavit, Lieutenant Stadi, Doctor Fitzgerald, Lieutenant Honigsberg, and the unseen chief science officer (Zandra Taitt, from Star Trek: The Next Generation) alive, but leaving the crew without Captain Janeway, Tom Paris, or Harry Kim. Second, the Maquis ship pulled into the Delta Quadrant wasn't Chakotay's, but rather a newly-"acquired" Maquis ship, captained by the former Lieutenant Ro and a different group of Maquis. There are a few original characters, mostly based on background characters who were barely there (the other Ocampa in Daggin's garden), but for the most part, every name otherwise is from Trek canon, albeit some of it very, very bare-bones, like Okudagrams or "mentioned in dialog."
Continued in the Season Two series, here.

However, after a particularly harsh meltdown, the statue turns from stone to flesh and Nero realizes just how true all the Order’s legends were as standing before him was the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda himself.
