Fics like The Devil Who Laughs

Italy, early 16th century. Nero is nothing but a bastard soldier in the fortress-city of Fortuna, scraping through life one cold dawn at a time. His white hair draws whispers, his mysterious arm draws fear, and his only solace is a girl whose voice could calm saints. That life shatters the day a reckless aristocrat rides his horse straight into the cathedral, smashes a statue with Nero's own hands, and announces to the stunned crowd that he is taking his nephew home. Thrown into the labyrinth of the Sparda ducal house — a family he was never meant to know — Nero must navigate ballrooms, battlefields, and the icy silence of a father who seems carved from marble. Demons are stirring. The Pope is sharpening his knives. And the laughing devil in the red coat, the one they call Dante, may be the only person holding the family together. Or: a Renaissance AU where Nero discovers that blood ties are forged in fire, and that the man who storms into churches on horseback might just be the best uncle he never asked for.
