* Laryna's fics are different that most for one reason, an extremist in-sight on every characters' mind which expands and adds deep to the characters. She's got several one-shots, collections of drabbles and even long stories, and explored almost every character up to [[Devil May Cry]] 3.
** Interesting stories, indeed. [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3325768/1/bWages_b_of_bSin_b This] is one of this editor's favourites.

* ''Synopsis'': Fenrir and Hantu are a pair of demons who at one point were under the legendary knght himself. Following his change of heart, they followed as well. The duo hid in the human world, keeping away from the prying eyes of the demon world. However, something or another always seems to pull them back into conflict with the demons. Pre DMC3 for the most part. No word on shipping's yet.
* ''Coments'': Definately a good fic. Ghost has taken the time to do his research on the lore of Devil May Cry and executes the plot well. There is also remarkably little interaction with canon characters so there is no OOC. The characters in question, despite being vauge self inserts, are far from Mary Sue's and are truly their own people. The power scale is also well respected; Hantu and Fenrir aren't slapping around Devil Knights like nothing. If you want a good fic, check it out. Still being updated, despite how slow.

* ''Synopsis'': Nero didn't sign up to be interrelated to Sparda's psychotic Wonder Twins. Just his luck: They won't leave him the hell alone. Evil abounds, Vergil raises s'more hell, and Kyrie takes up swearing. Dante just can't believe this crap keeps happening to him. Post-DMC4, hints between Nero andKyrie but really more of a [[Gen Fic]] than anything.
* ''Comments'': Probably the best explanation of Nero's Devil Bringer and his connection with Vergil this troper has ever seen. On top of that, the story manages to introduce Lady, Trish, Dante and pretty much every other major player in the series, and has a slightly more forceful but not entirely unbelievable personality for Kyrie. Brilliant fic, wonderfully written and engaging despite possibly being abandoned. Definitely worth a look anyways, probably the best one this troper has found in the fandom yet.
* Agreed. It's pretty well written, and despite being [[Dead Fic]] it's worth a read; it's entertaining.
** I can't recommend this one. I for one have no problem with swearing in a story if it's in character, but this fic [[Flanderized]] Nero's mouth to the point where it was just obnoxious. If the story ended up going somewhere, I'd suggest it, because the writer is actually pretty good, but since it really doesn't go anywhere (and pulls a massive [[Retcon]] out of nowhere), I'd say you're better off passing this one by.

* ''Synopsis'': Post DMC4, Dante heads back to Fortuna on an impulse to check up on Nero, if only because of the possibility that Nero is the only blood relative he has left and to ease his own loneliness.
* ''Comments'': Somewhat narmy summary aside, it's quite well written. Night Companion plays on the teasing hints of Nero's relationship to Dante, and portrays Dante strongly in the [[Big Brother Mentor]], emphasis on "big brother". Granted, it's only two chapters, but it's a good introspection piece with some action.
* Recommended by eagle108
* ''Synopsis'': To wit, "The first time Dante met his son, the runt stole his pizza. The second time he had half the police force of Capulet East after him. The third time he saved the Kid's life and got a kick to the face. This time, he was determined to introduce himself."
* ''Comments'': [[Alternate Universe Fic|AU]], taking place during the [[Devil May Cry: The Animated Series|anime]] post episode 8, but spoilers for all four games and anime. Dante is Nero's father here, and Rhiw surprisingly works out a rather well-done father!Dante with a son!Nero. Dante may seem OOC with several [[Papa Wolf]] moments, even during the [[Sink-or-Swim Fatherhood|sink-or-swim phase]], but if one takes into account the events of ''DMC3'' and his background, it's rather justified. This line really tugs [[Heartwarming Moments|the heart strings]] when both finally have an actual face-to-face and Nero voices a child's fear that many will have questioned as children: [[Tear Jerker|nobody wanting him]].

* ''Pairing'': Dante/Lady
* ''Synopsis'': A look at what a possible relationship between Dante and Lady would involve. During and post DMC3.
* ''Comments'': The title and this troper's vague summary don't do it justice. It's really, really good. Possibly the best-written Lady I've ever seen, not to mention a refreshing perspective on Dante. There's some strong language and suggestive material, not to mention is IS a lemon, but as someone who normally doesn't enjoy that I recommend reading it anyway. Skip the one M-rated chapter if you have to, because for the most part this is some of the best characterization you'll find in the fandom. I can't even describe it any better than the summary above, it's just the kind of story you enjoy anyway. Further more, it's still updating, which is rare for any good fic.
* I [[Unfortunate Implications|can't]] [[Double Standard|recommend]] this one. Sexism, cliches galore, and one of my favourite characters getting [[Alternate Character Interpretation|flanderized]].
** [[Arktos]] - How so? This might be my general cluelessness towards stuff like this, but I really can't see the sexism. I just really don't see anything of real issue besides the rating. If it really bothers you that much, I'll take it down, but can you name anything in particular?
* I (mochakasem) agree with Arktos, here. This fic is high-quality work, with some of the best character development I've seen. One caveat: the first half of it is a more in-depth look at Lady's scenes in the game, and new plot starts after that. If it bores you early on, skip to Chapter 15 - you won't regret it.

* ''Pairing'': Dante/Lady
* ''Synopsis'': Lady put up walls. It wasn't that she hated his demonic heritage—not anymore—she simply refused to let him in. It had fascinated and frustrated him ever since they met in Temen-ni-gru, but Dante knew she'd cave eventually. He would just have to wait.

* ''Synopsis'': Before Fudge can appoint Dolores Umbridge as the new DADA Professor, Dumbledore seeks out a candidate of his own. And after all, the best tutors against the Dark Arts are those who are Dark themselves... [[Harry Potter and Thethe Order of Thethe Phoenix (novel)|5th Year]].
* ''Comments'': Spot on characters, the authors usual humour and Umbridge being injured while fleeing a gang of armed fifth years... What more could you ask for.
** Hellscourge:This troper can only point out that this fic is well written, hilarious and has a lot of shoutouts (Simpsons, Sailor Moon, etc). I am not sure how well the new Proffessorf of DADA is portraited, as I never played that particular game, but the reasoning behind his actions is very well done and plausible for me to understand.

* ''Synopsis'': Crossover with ''[[Dead or Alive]]''. Dante gets hired for a job by the head of a certain company...
* ''Pairings'': For DMC characters there's Dante/Lady, Dante/Helena, and Dante/Christie while DOA has Ryu/Kasumi([[Ship Tease|teased]]), Ayame/Eliot, and pretty much every DOA character has a chance to be paired with someone.
* ''Comments'': Ongoing. While the plot itself might be hit or miss for some, it has great character development and insight, especially the rather underdeveloped DOA characters. The minor Oc's also add some much needed backstory. The main draw is the character interactions (i.e.: any scene with Dante and the ninjas). The scene where Dante meets Bass is a personal favorite.

* Recommended by eagle108
* ''Synopsis'': Dante has more than one famous relative - his great-uncle is [[Harry Potter|Albus Dumbledore]], and a "pest control" job request from his grandfather Aberforth and Snape has him headed to England. [[Harry Potter and Thethe Deathly Hallows (novel)|7th year]].
* ''Comments'': While the writing style leaves a bit to desire for on describing almost every action taken, the interactions and characterizations are rather close. Nero here is presented as having a witch for a mother, but raised Muggle due to Fortuna's beliefs (and Sanctus' actions).
