The Legendary Dark Knight and The Lady in Red

I was looking at old posts, and I amazed to see that while I'd posted the second novel information here, I hadn't reposted any of the evidence for the sheer win of the pairing from previous games/sources. This must be amended. I thought of this while typing up the below rant and I came her looking for the links to places these quotes were that really should have been here.

What's interesting is that while Eva's Theme is of course associated with Trish, the Sound DVD track for it is all about Vergil: it's his character track like Lady has a character track as well as a boss battle track in the DMC3 DVD.

Eva's theme, translated out of poetry into semi-normal language, is her saying this: "I managed to keep them safe and loved enough that they were happy and hopeful for the future. Then the world intruded, I got killed, and they were alone, helpless, and surrounded by hatred and darkness. They were helpless little kids but they didn't let it destroy them and they didn't give in to despair. Now they've finally found each other and they have hope again: they've survived all this. While it's nowhere near over for them and things look grim this is the darkness before the dawn. I know they'll be fine now, and I'm so proud of them it breaks my heart."

You see? This is why I was unable to resist this character. She rocks so very, very hard, and when I came in there was nothing I considered good enough and a lot of stuff that portrayed her as weak in so very many ways despite the fact that she's easily the strongest character in the series. Not in terms of firepower, sure, but in VJ, which Kamiya did partly to get across his original ideas by mocking them after the mockery that DMC2 made of them, Mundus considers her his most dangerous enemy!

VJ - Mundus: (to Trish) No, you are mistaken. In that amulet resides the soul of a human. The one who gave birth to Sparda’s son... The one who protected that son’s life, who protected YOUR life... That detestable woman... Eva’s soul! The real enemy was you, Eva! This amulet was used to resurrect the child Dante. I shall destroy it, and you with it!

She is why the entire series happens, both the modern events as herself and why Sparda rebelled in the first place as a symbol.

DMC1 Sound DVD Sacred Heart - It was then that Dante first realized something. Why did his father who was evil decide to protect the world of man? Why did he decide to stand up alone against all the dark forces? Seeing the form of Trish who had protected him just as his mother had and who had her same looks, Dante finally understood.

Here's a post I did with in-game references to Eva in DMC1 & DMC3, with screencaps:

The same thing for Sparda in DMC1-3:

And there's more stuff floating around. I'll start adding where to find stuff like this to the userinfo, so it's easier for you to find things to use in fics/fangirl over. I really need to just write a ship manifesto and have everything in one place...

Thought I'd share this with everyone.

Oh, my. It seems this isn't entirely dead. That's quite nice.

The anime showed a lot of new information about our (or one of our) favorite pairing(s). For one thing, Dante (in episode 3, Not Love) told Brad, a demon also contemplating a biracial relationship, that from everything he saw his parents were truly in love. I'll try to look up the exact line later. Also, Dante returns to someplace he was with Eva as a child (although no mention of Vergil being there, which is odd), and we get the impressions of the two of them some of the people there had.

In another episode Dante encounters a pair of devil brothers (or possibly twins) who were trained by Sparda. I'll try to watch the series again and get you guys some quotes like I did for the second novel for squeeing and/or fic purposes. Also Patty (this pushy orphan girl that just moves in. Dante really is a doormat for assertive women, especially blondes. Eva had him well trained.) comments a bit on the photo, and her lost mother is contrasted with Dante's. Still haven't seen the final episode...

Also, gabriel_chaos drew: from Rapture Eva twice, her birth family and from Angel Saga Sparda and Eva devil chibis, Sparda with chibi Eva and an adult Eva devil-triggered. She takes commissions, so contact her via AIM at DjibrilShadow if there's something you'd like drawn.

^the above is cut and pasted from the bit on my ff.net profile since I didn't want to redo all the html. I know she's done some other stuff that I haven't been able to list there because of lack of energy and crazy computer issues. I'll try to find the links again. Especially because now that I look at the list the really Sparda/Eva pics aren't in it. Oy.

hey i've been looking round the net for some sparda/eva fics and there doesn't seem to be many does anybody know where i can find any good ones. 

I'm willing to offer fic or money in exchange for fanart of Sparda/Eva/the children or any combination of the above. Preferably set in the world of my fic Rapture, but that's not necessary. If you're interested in the offer/know anyone who does commissions, could you let me/them know?

For fic, I'm willing to spend as long on the fic as the artist does on the art. For money, it depends. The artist must be willing to possibly have the art posted on a website, of course with whatever credit/links are desired.

Thank you.

"All For You" by Sister Hazel is somewhat my Sparda/Eva theme song, at least for the fic Rapture. Does anyone else have any songs that evoke their vision of the pairing?

Here's the song ( Collapse )

Another song is Surrendering by Alanis Morrisette: ( Collapse )

I thought I'd share what yuffie510 drew for me. ( Collapse )

Author: laryna6
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Angst/Romance/Tragedy
Warnings: Implied yaoi in first chapter.
This is a series of four oneshots, like Wages of Sin if anyone read that one. This one, however, follows Sparda instead of Nevan. The first one, which is the only one posted so far, is Sparda/Mundus. The others will have slight, onesided Priestess and Matier relationships, and it will end, of course, with the 'ultimate' love, Eva.
I did it, guilty as charged...

As this community is also for things about either Sparda or Eva, I thought I would post about a oneshot focused on past Sparda/Nevan (leaving him free to move on to Eva :).

Title: Wages of Sin - Charge
Author: laryna6
Rating: M
Warnings: Not really.
Pairing: Sparda/Nevan, in a Nevan/Various collection.
The wages of sin are a world without god.

As you may have noticed if you looked at the group page, the person who offered to do a layout and community icon for this group has not been able to. Is there anyone who would be willing to do one? I would be willing to do a ficlet in thanks.

Also, I've posted the contents of Capcom's Fifth Anniversary DVD Trinity of Fates to YouTube. My profile is here. There's not really any S/E content, but I thought you might want to see what there is. I also have the Sound DVDs up there.

Finally, my Sparda/Eva fic Rapture is being translated into Korean by yuffie510. If you want to read the translation, it can be found on this site in the Writings category.

Ok, posting here (for real this time-d'oh) because I promised laryna6 I would way back when I mentioned doing this fanfic for her. In addition, it's a bit of a birthday present for her, happy birthday! Hope you all enjoy reading this tidbit story of Sparda and Eva, and I'll try to finish the next part before too much time passes by.



And, of course, I take no credit for the characters in the fic, as obviously Capcom owns the dark knight and his lady. And don't mind the icon, I just haven't used it in a while.
