Summary
The voice continues, “Hey, down here.”
Vergil complies against his better judgment, but it takes him a second to realise where the sound is even supposed to be coming from. It's only when his shadow's left hand, the one not clutching the Yamato, moves of its own accord to rub against his shadow's face that he realises what must be happening. A shadow cannot be fought so easily, but even intangible demons can be bested. He must bide his time. His eyes narrow at the offending invader and he voices, “Who are you?"
There’s a slight pause, as the shadow tilts its head. Finally, it replies, “The name’s Nero. And don’t scowl too much, it makes you look older than you are.”

Summary
Cadet Strife was an unmitigated nightmare of the likes which had never graced Shinra's doorstep either before or after his employment. Sephiroth couldn't shake the overwhelming sensation that Strife was perhaps a little too knowledgeable about the company's inner workings for a cadet only a week into his employment with the company.

Calypso and the Illusion of Belonging by jiemae
DC x Marvel crossover, wherein Damian gets sent to the 1st Avengers movie, turning into a mutant and getting adopted by Natasha, ft. Disaster uncles. Completed, 1st of a series.
Phenomenal fic. The characters feel so realistic, from their perspective to their dialogue and motivations. Found family feels, within a believable setting. This was a delightful read, looking forward to more.

A Child's Choice by TheWritingSquid
DMC, one-shot. In which Dante does the ol' ritual of having toddler Nero choose 3 things that could represent his future, and Nero chooses his dad. I had to take a moment after reading this, it's so heartwarming and full of love I had to pause.
“Scelgo… Da’!” he declared.
Mi corazon.... Nero mi nene.... buenísimo
