I think about Dadgil au’s ALL the time, as sad as it is that Vergil never got to raise Nero it now gives me so many ideas for “what if” situations so here are some of my favs:
- Classic Vergil raising Nero as a baby, total teen dad that is emotionally unstable having to be there for a kid. Vergil abandoning his search for power due to the sense of responsibility he had for raising a kid. Vergil would by no means be an amazing father but I think he’d try.
- Vergil discovers Nero when Neros already a bit grown but not an adult. Like Vergil gets out of hell or whatnot and runs into a 10-15 year old Nero at the orphanage and raises him from then on. Just a lot of Nero teen angst and “You’re not my father,” and “You weren’t there when I was younger so you have to earn my respect,” type shit.
- Vergil raising Nero as a baby but disappearing when he’s older. Similar to the first where he steps up as a a dad and abandons his search for power and the such but when Neros older something happens to Vergil like he gets trapped in hell or demons kill/kidnap him and Neros still a child but of course remembers his father. I think if he knows/thinks Vergil was killed he’d become so deadset on revenge it would destroy any chance he had at teenhood. Meanwhile if it’s just a “Vergil disappears mysteriously” situation then Nero would be so conflicted on if his Dad abandoned him or not. I like this idea a lot since it’s similar to what happened to Vergil with him thinking his mother abandoned him but she didn’t and it wasn’t her fault.
Those are the main versions of Dadgil that cross my mind of course but if you have any other ideas or wanna add onto mine pleaseee do, these guys infect my mind.
