Investigating Together. A Birthday Gift For @maria-tries!!  This But As A Twitter Thread

▶ Fanbook project : wip #02

Cover is done!! *slides on the floor* I'll reveal the full picture when I'll start to post the pages.

Btw, for now I can say the story takes place 3 or 4 years after Phoenix's disbarment, I still need to think about the date hmmm.

More details and previews under the cut ⬇️

Speaking of which, I think I figured out how to color the pages with tones like a manga, I always went with just a black and white style, and I've always wanted to try this with a real project. I hope it will look nice 🫣

For now only 2 pages are clean out of 41 *nervous laugh*

Also... as always, I love to put a lot of details on my arts and I went hard with the backgrounds 🥲 I always do this to myself but worth it

And here's Miles trying to deal smoothly with Phoenix's aloof attitude ;_;

See you in the next update! And thank you already for those who are already interested even if I don't reveal much for now 🥺💕

So freakin’ good! A wonderfully written character study and narrative set around the Investigations 2 era, where Miles comes to realize some important things about himself. Highly recommended.

ಠ‿ಠ 👍

to live is to desire, 20k, phoenix wright/miles edgeworth

His troubles truly started, Miles reflected, when he decided to live - because with life came desire, and Miles's desires were troublesome indeed.

in which miles edgeworth fights tooth and nail against his own feelings.

now finished! read chapter 3, or start from the beginning.

I’m playing through turnabout reminiscence rn and everytime I remember that there is a like—at most— 20-year-old Miles Edgeworth running around with his 13-year-old sister demanding to be let into a crime scene. Like. This case is really interesting but every time Edgeworth makes a comment about Franziska’s height or Franziska pretends she understands Miles’ thought process I just remember that they are *so* young.

The maturity difference and the way they just behave like siblings means so much to me. And the way they act around Manfred? I will cry. Edgeworth’s so timid and even Franziska is subdued.

But like the way Callisto reacts is so real because if I saw a 20-year-old guy walking around with a cravat saying things like “do not take me for some naïve novice” I would also laugh at him.

When a fic doesn’t fit my head canons but it’s well-written

7 more 7 year gap Narumitsu fic recs (here's part 2!)

The seven year gap years are some of the richest for Narumitsu fan fiction. Below are seven more of my favourite seven year gap fics, in no particular order. Part 1 is here and part 3 here and yay, there’s now a part 4 {:-) :-)

Enjoy!

1) Mitte by sunsmasher

Rating: M Words: 4,693 Time to read: 10 min

This fic takes a more cynical look at love but oh, the end scene is perfect, and stays with you for a looooong while. I think I've reread it at least 4-5 times. It was one of the fics that motivated me to joining Ao3 as a member, rather than a guest, so I could participate more fully with commenting and Bookmarks. My original book mark said "Still thinking about this weeks later… so brutal but not without hope."

~7~

2) Rule of Three by DeiRyuu

Rating: G Words: 1,948 Time to read: 10 min

Taking place during one of the Wright's visits with Edgeworth in Europe, this fic is a wholesome, well written, fambly one shot. ❤️💙💙 Part 1 of NaruMitsu Week 2020 series

~7~

3) Bernstein (liminal) by just_a_wavefunction

Rating: G Words: 3,661 Time to read: 15 min

One of those fics that are so well written and that you crave more at the end. Set in the early years of the 7 year gap, Phoenix and Trucy spend quality time with Miles in Europe (Miles POV).

~7~

4) hop a plane by alyxellipsis

Rating: E Words: 3,790 Time to read: 15 min

Phoenix spontaneously flies to Europe to specifically not talk about his feelings with Miles. Kristophe is mentioned, read the tags. Recommending because it it is so good, but oh, my heart. This one kicked me.

~7~

5) Childswap by theacegrace

Rating: G Words: 11,781 Time to read: 50 min

A beloved Narumitsu ‘classic,' this one feels like it should be on a 'required reading' list for Ace Attorney found family fans. Written for narumitsu week 2019 day 7: domestic

~7~

6) Kindred by timepatches

Rating: G Words: 11, 781 Time to read: 6.5 hours

Pess fic! A case fic! and yes, a Narumitsu fic set during the 7 year gap years. Super charming and a wonderful story to settle into over a weekend. This set me off on a Pess fic binge (hmmm, maybe a future fic rec list :) )

~7~

7) The Same Thing, Self Aware by cosmogyral

Rating: M Words: 15,921 Time to read: 60 min

So well written. Ow my heart, but hold on, cosmogyral has you baby, there is hope. I love the way that Miles is written and while it hurts to see Phoenix so…asshole-ish? Jaded. I love how his path to redemption is so beautifully crafted in this story. It leaves me wanting more.

Also found in Podfic form by blotthis! Beautifully narrated and with excellent art!

And thus concludes part two of my 7 x 7 year gap fic recs. I hope you enjoy them all, and if you want more, please check out part 3 :)

Narumitsu Fic recs:

Neverending stories edition (yay!)

Life is about the journey, not the destination, right? Some of my most enjoyed reading time has been spent experiencing long, unfinished but satisfying fics. These fics may not be finished, they may leave you wanting more, but in a 'I could eat more because, dang that was tasty’ kind of way. But isn't that kind of a good thing? If you enjoy these, I recommend subscribing to them as a small and powerful act of hope. One day, you may be surprised by an update or additional chapter. It's happened before! {;-)

1, Symbiosis by @dei-ryuu (check out their Ao3 collection link here)

Rating: T Words: 332,023

This au fic is sooo layered, so creative, sooo…. I haven’t come anything like it. It honours the games and characters by following canon touchstones, but through a new lens. Miles, Maya, and oooh Phoenix, are just written so sweetly and charismatically. Great dialogue, great emotional moments, and the foreshadowing and Easter eggs just so generously given! I imagine the authors’ living quarters are wall papered with stickies and red strings cross-crossing to multiple rooms to keep track of them all. Also read if you like cliff hangers. Around chapter 20, the author evolves into the GOAT of cliff hanger crafters. This is the longest bookmark rec I’ve ever written for

(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ REASONS!

2. Saturation by TiedyedTrickster

Rating: G Words: 311, 066

This is a magnum opus of slow burns. Even though it is unfinished, it’s so worth your time to get into. Miles' character growth is really the heart of the story. The author describes the story as 'An exploration that begins with colour, continues with grey-scale, then fluctuates between the two...'. Delicate and lovely yet substantial. Kinda like Miles!

3. (Ya Got) Trouble by Chatvert

Rating: E Words: 303, 655

I wish that this work was complete (we are sitting at 44 of 48 Chapters) but really, it doesn't matter. This fic has some of the *best* Maya lines I've ever come across. The dialogue and banter is SO GOOD! Recommending for those that like sweet, sexy and sensitive portrayals of canon adjacent characters (read the tags for more details).

4. A Brief for the Defense by orphan_account (May have been Ophelia_Writes?)

Rating: T Words: 261, 895

Sadly orphaned, I still think this is a top contender for one of the best fanfics I have ever read. Tender, laugh out loud humour, pain, healing, insightful, thoroughly entertaining…Look at the number of comments, Kudos and Bookmarks! It is so worth your time. Sending lots of love and gratitude to the author, wherever they may be ❤️

5. A Series of Turnabouts by LeFlayART

Rating: E Words: 128, 264

Yeah, ok this is a series so I'm kind of cheating, but I think it still meets my 'over 100,000 words collectively and marked unfinished' criteria for this list. For folks who are driven nuts by incompleteness, go enjoy the first two stories in the series. It's only the last one that is unfinished.

Interesting and sometimes explicit long fic where it's revealed that Miles is related to the Feys. Epic in scale and feels.

6. BONUS Super long Chat Fic!

Virtual, Visual, Viral by TrueImmortality

Rating: M Words: (who knows?! This story is 173 chapters (so far) of phone text screenshots. It took me days to read it.

The feels! Incredible emotional mileage given out of screen captured texts. Some are funny, some infuriating, some tender and all with heart. Woah, also some unexpected ´A-game ´ cliff hangers and drama story arcs. And playlists! File under “came here for the story, left with a massively loaded playlist.”

Amazing.
