This piece is a real heart-breaker. It's both terribly sad and frightfully funny. How did you do that? The idea itself is brilliant to begin with, and you've executed it really well; I could practically feel Dante go through his muddled memories while reading this. I can't believe you haven't gotten more reviews. You deserve a ton of praise for this. :)

Wow.
I read this story once, enjoyed it, didn't review. Now, I'm back for a second (or is it third?) time, I like it even more, and I have to say something. There are precious few - very, very few - twincest fics in this fandom that don't make me roll my eyes at the setting and characterization, and this one of them. It was perfectly Dante from the first sentence to the last, all of his humor, his crude temper, everything. You managed to nicely bring out his vulnerability when it comes to his brother without turning him into basket case. 'And the doppelganger had caught him and Dante had thrown his arms around his neck and gone into some stupid maudlin speech about how he missed his jerk of a brother who had kept stabbing him. Ended up crying. Crying, for fuck’s sake.' Lovely, that line. I found myself actually engrossed instead of ranting 'OMG stop they're twins' at the screen the way I usually do. The sex was definitely on par, no flowery language, no romanticizing, rough and desperate and intense. And very cool, making it the Doppelganger instead of actually Vergil; 'ultimate in masturbation' indeed. Kind of makes me wonder what other interesting things can be done with that thing...
Yeah, that's enough rambling for one evening. I think you have a knack for getting into Dante's head, and I hope to see more of your work in this section.

Haha, you're right. Whoever thought of masturbation this way?..... .__. It's good though, angsty.... Poor Dante, better luck next year Dan.. or maybe quicker than another year.
