#dmcweek2024

A (late) piece for dmcweek2024 day 4! I was buzzing to put forward something for the week. Prompt was alt universe.

AU where Eva survived the fire and had to figure out a way forward, believing the twins dead. She becomes an RPG shopkeeper selling wares ranging from antique books to magical goods (Devil May Scry). She's also out for Mundus' blood.

Image descriptions are the same as in alt.

[ID: 7 Digital illustrations and sketches. 1: Coloured illustration of a bookshop at sunset. Eva, a pale blonde middle aged woman mans the bright patterned counter. She wears a turtleneck and red shawl, has shoulder length hair, and diagonal facial burn scar and scarring on her left hand. Light rays illuminate her gently smiling face. Besides packed books, on the shelves are potion bottles, statuettes, succulents, and a displayed katana. Roses and plants decorate the shop. On the counter are a thick hardback, bookscanner, and crystal ball. Cards are displayed inside the counter. On the wall hangs a price sign, featuring doodled vital stars (large star drawn with sunglasses), holy water and fortunes. Beneath it is a rose wreathed divinity statue display, with 2 red orb offerings in a dish. 2: Eva from behind, sitting hunched alone at a table where a birthday cake sits untouched. It's a two flavour cake. By her clenched hand are crumpled tissues. Caption: 'Vergil...Dante...happy birthday...' 3: Eva bracing the Devil Sword Sparda across her shoulders, aimed at the ground. She wears a bell sleeved, ruffled funeral/wedding dress with a slit for leg movement. A veil trails behind her like a ribbon. Close ups of her show the headpiece design; a pacifier made of a long bird skill, feather, rose, and four skeletal 'legs'. 4 & 5: Trish taking on teen Dante's image: a tan teen in black, with chin length white hair, a halter neck tank top, leather pants, kneelength boots and black polish. Her leather jacket collar resembles lightning bolts. She leans against an invisible wall, one leg bent to brace her foot against it. She looks askance with arched brows, lifting shades from her face. The 2nd image is a 3/4 profile with shades perched on her forehead and popped collar. 6: Helmetless portraits of Dante and Vergil in armour, expressionless. Dante's hair is shoulder length and falls across his face. 7: Full body of 2 somewhat lanky demonic knights. One (Nelo Angelo) in black and blue with droopy horns rests his palms atop his blue broadsword's pommel, the sword upright against the ground. He stands straight, staring ahead. The other in white and red and curled horns has a palm clapped on Nelo Angelo's shoulder, other hand at his hips. Somehow the eyes on his helmet express playfulness. At his back is the hilt to a flail, the spiked ball resting on the ground by his armoured heels. They're labelled '~16' . End ID.]

Read more for some wordy backstory and sketches. TW for mentions of torture, abuse and solitary confinement surrounding the twins.

DMC Week prompt 5

Kyrie. This woman. Can you imagine the thoughts going through her head the moment she answered that one phone call from Nero. The silence. And then that weird cryptic little speech.

"Kyrie... when I was a kid, I... I was alone. You and Credo were all I knew. And now all the sudden, I found out I have a family. What am I supposed to do with that?"

That young woman had the most honest and sincere response to him. Honestly if i were in her shoes, I'd have probably been freaking out. And who knows. She may have been. I can believe she was worried. Hell anyone would be worried about their significant others in that situation. But she had the calmness and strength to give him an honest response and trust he would be okay and come home in the end.

Sunday

This prompt was about characters bonding. One of my earlier posts on this blog was a lengthy headcanon that Nero and Kyrie both liked to draw as teens, which brought them together.

Monday

This prompt was about hurt/comfort, and I think the closest thing I have to that is one part of a post where I speculated about Trish's powers.

Tuesday

This prompt was about underappreciated characters, and I think the best choice for this one is my plot in which Kyrie gains demonic minions, similar to the ones V uses in DMC5. I've talked about this a lot in the past, all instances of which are linked in my pinned post.

Wednesday

This prompt was about time travel, and I do have another plot that involves time travel. I've posted about the general premise, as well as how a particular character would get involved.

Thursday

This prompt requested a sad headcanon. I think this one about Trish qualifies.

Friday

One of the options in this prompt was "commune with dead". I made a post speculating about Sparda's experiences persisting in a demon-exclusive afterlife.

Saturday

The final prompt was about a character rescuing another. I think about my AU in which Dante is captured by Urizen instead of Lady and Trish, and while it was made with the intent to remove two characters from the role of being rescued, it ironically does still include some rescuing.
