| 16 | * 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 ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry3DantesAwakening''. |

| 24 | * ''Pairings'': Dante/OC |
| 25 | * She has good writing skills and uses OCs constructively to support a gradual world-building and writes dialogue with a good sense of humor. She has one-shots, short-story collections and long stories that make up a nice fanon and explores different modes of and styles of writing. Really good at keeping canons within character but still gives them a slight personal spin that's welcome. |
| 26 | ** [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/14846003/chapters/34365029 This]] is where her fanon begins and it's still one of her best fanfics. Her portrayal of a very young, teenaged Dante is hilarious and pretty on the nose and his interactions with her OC are for the most part really entertaining. Starts a bit slow and some scenes are overdone but it makes up for it with atmosphere and Dante and Tess' developing friendship. Now has it's own trope page [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/FanFic/FrailEquilibrium here]]. |

| 40 | * For those looking for the lighter side of the DMC-verse, wingsofthenight delivers a good number of fluff on both [=AUs=] and canon that'll fill one's dark soul with light, although there are the bittersweet moments. Recommended reading among would be the AU ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/15443757/chapters/35847396 Found]]'' where Dante is Nero's father, and ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/16810993/chapters/39459520 Brave Shine]]'' which takes a new twist regarding Vergil's presence in ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone''. |

| 60 | * ''Pairings'':Eva/Sparda |
| 61 | * The main reason this author is good is for their long-running series 'Human History', an in-depth exploration of Sparda and his rebellion. This is the only fic in the fandom that does such a thorough job of exploring Sparda and his rebellion, and is filled with some great character arcs and side characters |

| 67 | * Recommended by Unlimited_Archer |
| 68 | * Vanished from the internet. Please post a link if found. |
| 69 | * ''Synopsis'': Fenrir and Hantu are a pair of demons who at one point were under the legendary knight 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. |
| 70 | * ''Comments'': Definitely 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 vague 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. |

| 75 | * Recommended by {{Arktos}} |
| 76 | * ''Status'': Dead |
| 77 | * ''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 and Kyrie but really more of a GenFic than anything. |
| 78 | * ''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. |
| 79 | * Agreed. It's pretty well written, and despite being DeadFic it's worth a read; it's entertaining. |
| 80 | ** 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. |

| 97 | * ''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 BigBrotherMentor, emphasis on "big brother".

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 PapaWolf moments, even during the [[SinkOrSwimFatherhood sink-or-swim phase]], but if one takes into account the events of ''[=DMC3=]'' and his background, it's rather justified.

Whether it's being called to her school as an emergency contact or acting as chaperones for campus tours, [=PrecariousSauce=] does a wonderful job at keeping the Devil May Cry crew in character when facing the relatively normal situations they end up in here.

| 131 | * ''Comments:'' Taking place after [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry5 Devil May Cry 5]], the fanfic focuses on Vergil adjusting to life in the human world, specifically [[spoiler:his estranged son Nero]] and new coworkers. Notably, it does not gloss over Vergil's previous crimes. Acceptance is something he has to work for as he finds common ground with the people around them.

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.

| 167 | * ''Comments'': This story, and its companion fic ''Ephemerality'' (which focuses on Lady's point of view instead of Dante's), focus again of the interaction between Dante and Lady during DMC 3...with the added benefit of seeing their on-and-off oddball relationship progresses through the years and various other games, past [[spoiler:the second game when Dante leaves for hell]].

| 213 | * ''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. |
| 214 | * ...There is no DanteLady, but there is DanteTrish (with all the {{squick}}-y [[ParentalIncest implications]] intact).

| 330 | * ''Crossover with'': ''Anime/{{Puella Magi Madoka Magica}}'' |
| 331 | * ''Status'': Hiatus (?)/Ongoing |
| 332 | * ''Synopsis'': Homura Akemi has made countless attempts to defeat the witch Walpurgisnacht, turning back time every time she fails, repeating the same month over and over, with no one even being aware of it. After one such repeat, she meets a man in a stylish red coat, claiming to be aware of time looping. Will the presence of this man be enough to change her fate? |
| 333 | ** Comments: The second fanfic to get me interested in the PMM Universe, Time and a Word is one of the few DMC Fanfics that out there that I actually enjoy. Set after the ending of DMC 5, Dante and Vergil have returned to the human world...only to discover that not much time had passed since they left. Eventually, Dante realizes that it's because of Homura's Time Loop and (after fucking around a bit) decides to help the girl out to end it (since he remembers the loops thanks to his Time Manipulation powers/abilities). What follows is Dante being his typical self while fucking around with the Magical Girls. It's one of the few fics that I can honestly say gets Dante's personality right, actually shows off how he fights, and keeps things interesting. Best of all: No Shipping! |
| 334 | ** Unfortunately, the Author takes a LONG time to write Chapters. Thus the fic might as well be on hiatus at this point. In addition, it follows in the footsteps of many PMM Crossover Fics. Where the fic focuses more on the Magical Girls and their lives, while the Crossover character mostly remains on the sidelines doing very little. Save for killing a few witches. Still though, I think it has potential to be great...if the author continues it. |

| 343 | * Comments: Fans of both franchises know that Dante and Vergil could easily resolve most of the boss fights in any ''Resident Evil'' game due to their half-devil powers, even Nero being quarter-devil would have a bit of an easy time. Rialga actually took this into consideration and twists some details to where Nero actually has to work to earn his victories, and it's even lampshaded by both Nero and Ethan at a later point. |
