* Comments: Excellent dialogue and has Marcello saying things that he likely WOULD say if he were in this situation! You could easily read this story in one sitting given the fast paced style of the writing. The ending is a bit abrupt, but has a good plot and worth checking out despite the m/m content(there isn't much of this though).

* Comments: One of those fics that says a lot in very few words. And yes, Angelo would look good in pink! Then again, he'd look
good in a burlap sack.

* Comments: Yes, they certainly do make the best of the situation the brothers are in, but the point is not anything naughty, but rather that they do indeed complement each other quite well. The author does a good job showing that and the complexity of Marcello and Angelo's relationship.

* Synopsis: King Trode tries to cope with the situation he and his daughter are in.
* Comments: The only fic I know of that goes into King Trode's head and shows that the haughty man is far more grateful to everyone(especially Eight) than he lets on.

* Recommended by Axelseru
* Pairing: DQ4, Saro/Rosa
* Synopsis: Rosa and Saro, life after fairytales, the burden of agency, and other ways to fall. Mind the shameless abuse of color symbolism.
* Comments: That color symbolism is all over the fic in a beautifully poetic manner. One of those fics that says many things with very few words. Just gorgeous.

Added DiffLines:

* Pairing: Marcello + Angelo
* Synopsis: Dragon Quest VIII Pregame Angelo is approximately ten. Vignette. Angelo is ill, and Marcello is obligated to check on him. Nonfluff Marcellocentric.
* Comments: A very interesting fic about Marcello appearing to be concerned for Angelo, but is really concerned for what happened to himself. However, one way to interpret this fic is that maybe, just maybe, Marcello cares more for Angelo than he will ever admit. Or, that despising someone doesn't mean wanting them dead.

* Synopsis: "Getting Yangus's attention wasn't turning out to be as easy as she'd hoped it would be."
* Comments: Excellent insight with Red when dealing with Yangus. Red/Yangus is an uncommon pairing in the DQ8 fandom, but this fic says a lot about them in relatively few words.

Added DiffLines:

* Pairing: Marcello + Angelo
* Synopsis: "During his time at Maella Abbey, Marcello ponders on his halfbrother, Angelo, and how his life was ruined. As they say, vengeance is a dish best served cold."
* Comments: Paints a sympathetic picture of a strong, powerful, and complex character. You don't see much of him in game, but he still manages to be a dominant presence. I liked how the author showed that Marcello /has/ to see Angelo as BAD, or he would have to admit that he made a terrible mistake.

* Recommended by Axelseru
* Pairing: Eight/Marcello
* Synopsis: "Marcello wants some way to hurt Angelo, Eight wants someone to save, but there are children being kidnapped and monsters to fight, so none of that really matters. Eight/Marcello of a sort, warnings for mild descriptions of sexual relations and violence."
* Comments: Excellent dialogue and has Marcello saying things that he likely WOULD say if he were in this situation! You could easily read this story in one sitting given the fast paced style of the writing. The ending is a bit abrupt, but has a good plot and worth checking out despite the m/m content(there isn't much of this though).

* Recommended by Axelseru
* Pairing: Eight/Angelo, Marcello
* Synopsis: "After the events on Neos, Marcello sets a desperate plan in motion, only to be thwarted by the last person he expected."
* Comments: A very influential and tightly written piece. If you LOVE Marcello getting some kind of comeuppance for what he's done, especially at the hands of someone who is considered a "blank", then this is an excellent fic for you. If you don't(and I honestly don't), then this fic is still worth a read.
