7 x 7 year gap Narumitsu fic recs (part 4)

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. This is part 4 of a series. See Part 1 and Part 2 and Part 3 for the others!

Sharing because sharing is caring <3

1) The Path Once So Clear by Wildfey

Rating: T Words: 4,693 Time to read: 60 min

Beautifully written with empathy for our beloved characters, this fic is a freakin’ hidden gem. It takes place over the summer of earlier in the 7yr gap and contains the origin story of how Phoenix meets Athena. It has fantastic and smart dialogue written with affectionate humour and savvy. I fell in love a couple of times over the 4 chapters. Highly recommended.

2) Tomorrow by marttyyriroskis

Rating: E Words: 54,215 Time to read: 3.5 hours

In my eyes, this work is incredibly underrated and deserves so many more kudos and comments and bookmarks. The take on the characters ring so truthfully. Not fluffy. Dark but wholesome. If you like rewarding character growth journeys, not sketched but painted, based on key canon events, this fic is for you.

3) like a warm embrace by Samioli for hydrancheas

Rating: E Words: 8,828 Time to read: 40 min

Miles finds himself in a situation where he needs to wear Phoenix's hoodie and when he puts it on, he finds it smells like Phoenix, and, um, it leads to some smexy, schexy, swexy times. The one with the hoody and corset (I had no idea male corsets were a thing until I read this fic, and uh, thanks fan fiction for bettering my life!). One of the tags says 'Porn with Feelings' but honestly, there is a story arc here, it's wonderfully written and it's lovely.

4) if you leave the light on by angstinspace for starluci

Rating: T Words: 16,077 Time to read: 1.25 hours

One of my fav 7 yr gap fics that is on the comforting side of this era. Phoenix and Trucy spend time with Miles in Europe. Filled with gorgeously written locations, memories of closeness but where the timing just wasn't quite right, and tender domestic moments, Miles is pining kinda hard in this one, but that said, read this to feel better. <3

5) Promise You'll Stay by thornrabbit

Rating: M Words: 14,903 Time to read: 60 min

The story of how Miles came to secretly live with Phoenix every time he's in LA. I loved this one on so many levels... Thank you thornrabbit for all the feels and just the perfect amount of exciting, sensitive and beautifully written smut ;)

6) waiting for the post credits by kitelines

Rating: G Words: 4,676 Time to read: 20 min

Really nice short fic. When reading you can just picture their location, feel the weather, taste the crumbs, sense texture of the scarves and concrete, and pick up on the tension, love and subtexts/nuances in their relationships. Such flavourful, good writing. I'm a huge fan of kitelines’ writing and encourage you to binge them all. Most are works you can devour in under 30 mins, and all of them are just wonderful. This fic is part the Wright Family Week 2022 series

7) 3 x 7 year gap ficlets! by various

Yeah, yeah, I may be fudging my '7 x7' rule - but self-made rules are made to be broken my babies! Moo ha ha haaaaa!!! Ψ (•̀ᴗ•́)و

7.1 Those Are Bad for You by SaturnPeach Rating: M Words: 516 Time to read: 2.5 min Hiccups and wine on the balcony, and good, believable dialogue in a ficlet 👍

7.2 you only have one chance by SapphireWine Rating: T Words: 1170 Time to read: 5 min I'm laying down this one, because it is so beautiful and good (this is the one where Miles has more than one glass of wine the night before Phoenix has to leave and he realizes that 'he needs to kiss this man before he leaves. Or he might die.'). But really, please go check out all of SapphireWine's stuff. They are a *brilliant* and imaginative writer.

7.3 Phoenix Wright vs Hans Christian Anderson by SapphireWine Rating: T Words: 1,511 Time to read: 7 min Another beautiful, bittersweet, 7 year gap piece by one of the most intuitive Narumitsu masters out there.

Ok, sadly this part 4 ends my 7 Year Gap Narumitsu collection - for now! To keep you going until I have more, I am including a BONUS 7 year gap fic - An unfinished one! Subscribe to it and join me in the comments section if you like it!

red tape and the pieces of youth by demistories Unfinished - so far the word count is at 31,450 (2 hours) Tagged as M (smut to come?) This is a really sweet canon adjacent au fic where Miles and Phoenix get married in order to adopt Trucy. I LOVE the fact that this author realized that Phoenix's adoption of Trucy in the game was highly improbable in real life, so they did a pile of their own research and took matters in to their own hands. Sensitively written with humour and empathy. Come for the fake marriage of Miles and Phoenix, stay for the Franziska, Maya and kids.

And thank you again to the authors for sharing your awesome talents. You’ve enriched my life so much (and yeah, maybe helped me procrastinate from doing my taxes and housework 🤓❤️)

you wouldn't download a limited edition ace attorney christmas sweater from 2016

pattern adapted from this post by @acerunaway from original design by nina matsumoto/space coyote :))

cross stitch pattern + fcjson here bc i don't gatekeep + other notes under the read more!

for 3852 in the pattern, i actually used some of my light effects threads, E3852, for that sparkly feel. i couldn't find a reliable source on what the closest non-light effect equivalent is, and flosscross wouldn't let me put in light effects, so i just left it as 3852.

i stitched this with 10 count aida and 4 strands. if you want to make this on a sweatshirt, make your own measurements accordingly & make sure it fits and has good coverage.

i stitched this similarly to the original sweatshirt in that the navy background fills in the dark areas on the design itself (like maya and nick’s hair and nick’s suit) so you don’t have to stitch them. if you want a lighter color sweatshirt, keep this in mind & modify the design accordingly

i played with the colors a bit from the original design (fun fact edgeworth’s suit is the closest dmc thread color i could find to b00b69, and maya’s outfit is also modified from a funny hex code but i don’t remember which one). if you want to make changes, you can go to flosscross.com, import the fcjson file in the google drive folder, and make whatever modifications you want <3

please do not sell this pattern for money or put it on mass-produced merch as the design is not originally mine or acerunaway’s! on that note i encourage you to support the original artist nina matsumoto/space coyote; she has a ton of cool video game merch (including ace attorney) available through fangamer. i myself have the ace attorney desk mat on my desk at work and have gotten a lot of compliments on it from my coworkers

What it feels like to play an Ace Attorney case without someone in your ear saying it sucked and was the worst

hear me out the other day i woke up and was immediately hit in the face with "7 year gap narumitsu in europe where phoenix kisses edgeworth in a low moment and then tries to flee and edgeworth uses mind chess on him to get the truth out of him which is a completely normal and ordinary average way to discuss your relationship"

are you sure
