    Summary

    To say it had been a shock to see Phoenix across the courtroom from him that first time would be an understatement. Phoenix was an old, warm memory gone cold with time and von Karma’s influence. But facing that nervous smile, that brightly determined gaze, had cleared some of the fog. It had forced him to remember that sunlight existed. To realize it lived in too-kind eyes.

    The gaze Phoenix fixes him with now is as dark and unsettling as a day that begins without dawn.

    While Miles has been making his slow way to spring, Phoenix has fallen into winter.

    Across the span of seven years, Miles Edgeworth gives Phoenix Wright four envelopes.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “I’ve seen the people you’ve saved. Their tears of gratitude. Their smiles. I’ve seen how hard you fight for them. How much it means to them.”

    There’s a tremor in his chest. A quiet magnitude, barely an aftershock. He presses his face into dark hair and weathers it.

    “How much it meant to me,” he whispers brokenly.

    Summary

    “What the hell was that incantation you spat earlier?” Miles asks.

    Phoenix’s lips twitch.

    “Limp Bizkit,” he answers. And then he adds, desperate, “Please say it. Please, Miles. For me.”

    Miles cringes. But, behold, he parts his lips and delivers a beautiful, beautiful:

    “Limp biscuit.”

    And the laugh this provides Phoenix carries him all the way into the royal blue sky that stretches across the afternoon, where Truce calls him up and he can finally give her the news. Calm, clinical:

    “I’m stuck in the land of shit and honey with Miles Edgeworth. Hold down the fort for me.”

    (In Florida for a legal conference, Phoenix and Miles find their flight home cancelled courtesy of a hurricane churning through the panhandle, and thus decide to take a little road trip.)

    Summary

    Miles Edgeworth writes a note and leaves. He does not return for a year.

    The story of where he goes, and what he does.
    -
    It’s a great relief to talk to people and have them not care about what he says. It’s a relief to walk across the grey unforgiving shore and stumble on the rocks. It’s a relief to find himself in this liminal town. It has trapped him in its seasonal existence.
