“A good prosecutor is not swayed by irrational bouts of emotion,” Miles heard himself say, voice thick with venom, “least of all love.”

Summary
Phoenix is pulling an all-nighter at Wright & Co, desperately trying to get his shit together for tomorrow's case. He really, really does not need Edgeworth showing up, especially to yell at him, especially to act really weird - hey, wait a minute--
Miles Edgeworth works something out. Phoenix Wright has no idea what the fuck is going on.
Excerpt:
"Listen to me, Wright," Edgeworth snaps, voice low now, and steps way too close to him. "If anyone gets to tell me how to behave, it certainly isn't you. Honestly - you? You can't control your hair. You can't control a witness. You can't control a courtroom. You may as well add me to the long list of things you can't control." Inches away now, practically snarling: the Demon Prosecutor, large as life, and intimidating as hell.
Except… Phoenix isn't intimidated.
In fact, Phoenix suddenly has a weird hunch.Series

Bookmarker's Notes
"Do you know what you are, Wright?" Phoenix looks over his shoulder and, yes, Edgeworth is pointing at him again. It's even more irritating from inside his own office.
"I bet you're going to tell me," Phoenix says, and closes the door before the building security comes to find out who's yelling.

Years ago, when Phoenix had asked Edgeworth if he wanted to be his safety husband, with an age cut-off of forty, Edgeworth agreed. It was meant to be a joke. It was never a joke.

Speak of the devil and he shall appear: dressed still in his work suit, deep crimson befitting of all nine circles, and swinging a briefcase from one hand. Satan never sleeps, or something like that.

Summary
Nebulous canon time fluff.
This time with kissing and smart-attitudes and worrying about feelings (necessary and unnecessary). All the name of figuring out exactly how this thing between them is going to work (with about as much arguing as one would expect).

Phoenix and Edgeworth are locked inside a mall. Unfortunately, this forces them to talk about their feelings! And to commit some burglary. And to arrest a murderer. Because that's just what the holiday season is like sometimes.

“Well, I,” Edgeworth says, and then stops talking. He's been doing that, lately. It makes Phoenix want to shake him until the words fall out, or maybe just hold him really tight, absorb meaning through osmosis until he finally knows what the fuck Miles is thinking.

Summary
“What I have been trying to ask, is —" Edgeworth breaks off, takes a deep breath, and then says, as slowly and as clearly as if he's reading his own death warrant: "Would you like to have a drink with me."
Phoenix stares at him. Edgeworth stares back, face red and growing redder with each passing second.
“Uh,” Phoenix says. "Sure?"

Edgeworth asks Phoenix out on a date. Phoenix doesn’t realize. But hey — to be wise and in love exceeds man’s might…right?

Bookmarker's Notes
Phoenix likes to think he’s a little more interesting than paperwork, though, and he thinks he can prove it. Not that he needs to, but it's as good an excuse as any for letting Edgeworth kiss him cautious and chaste for all of two seconds before Phoenix does what he has been told he does way too often, and opens his mouth.

Summary
Miles Edgeworth has a realization. Phoenix Wright also has a realization. If there's a significant length of time between these two events, well. No one ever said the course of true love ran smooth.
(Edgeworth thinks they're dating, Phoenix doesn't realize - mostly because they've basically been in unspoken love for so long that nothing really changes, until it does. Nebulously post Dual Destinies.)

He takes a short step closer, and those damned cornflowers are still blooming at the hollow of his throat, sky blue, and he is close enough now to reach out and touch them if they were real, pluck one from the fabric skimming along his collarbone and cradle it in his hands

Summary
Miles Edgeworth is an upstanding professional and a pillar of the Los Angeles legal community. He would never allow personal feelings to tarnish his fight for the Truth. And something as base as affording his lover special privileges in the workplace would be, frankly, unthinkable.

Bookmarker's Notes
“You are sculpting—” he takes a shallow breath, “contorting your entire life around someone who couldn’t care less if you lived or died.”
Wright does lift his gaze to meet his own then, cruelty like ice in his eyes. Meaner than Miles can ever recall him being.
“I’ve done it before,” he says.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. Ough. This is so good.

Summary
As another bite sends pastry flakes raining down once more onto her lap, Daddy says, “Y’know,” and at his change in tone, at the way he says only that and then pauses, not just his speech but also his hands in his handkerchief pile, Trucy lifts her head to him. She’s greeted by his side-long gaze; expectant, as if her own gaze is late to a shared engagement. Phoenix smiles. “He’s only being so pedantic because it’s nearly done.”
Trucy stares at him. She brushes a crumb off her chin. “Really?”
The season of summer is trying its best in Amsterdam (and doing a pretty good job of it), Trucy's got magic props to sort out on the sidewalk she's co-opted, and Phoenix, as it happens, is nearly done with MASON. After years spent overthinking it herself, Trucy wants to know what her dad thinks that'll mean.

He smooths down the final handkerchief triangle where it tops the pile. He’s been working at it while they talk, this passing over her attention. He says, “Yeah. I do, Truce.” He bundles the whole thing carefully in his hands, and holds it out.
Ready for her to take over.

He's got his phone pulled out and zoomed in on a diagram that Miles sent him because instead of trusting Phoenix to navigate a foreign airport, Miles Edgeworth sends a map with a clearly marked path, like he's showing how a murderer has escaped a crime scene instead of directing Phoenix to a central meeting point.

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.”

“It is Florida,” Miles says, shrugging, looking down at his phone. The glare in his glasses screams SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING FOR MARION COUNTY. “Which means it will likely be bright and sunny again in five minutes.”

Miles sighed, curling his other hand around the curve of Phoenix’s bare shoulder, just above his collarbone. “Yes. And I like it, I like the idea of going house hunting with you. And furniture shopping. I want to pick out expensive plates for our kitchen and put them on our registry list.”
Phoenix quirked an eyebrow. “With an air-fryer we don’t need?”
Miles hummed, “And crystalline champagne glasses. Those are a must.”
Phoenix and Miles go house hunting. Los Angeles, 2027.

Phoenix is in shock merely from the experience of making eye contact with Miles Edgeworth. It has, after all, been approximately thirteen years and four months since he last made eye contact with Miles Edgeworth.
Not that he's been keeping track or anything.

“I’m sure they’ll be very good at their job eventually,” Phoenix says.
“And in the meantime, I’d like to try to catch a criminal or two. Maybe three, if we’re very fortunate,” Edgeworth says, still dry. “So if you don’t mind, let’s get back to work.”

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
The admission is simple—almost childish. But it breaks out of his chest and he’s reaching for something, seeking, and finds Miles’s coat to grab onto. Miles stumbles forward and Phoenix is pressed against the wall and it’s there he falls apart, between two things that can’t offer him comfort.

Phoenix has cleared his name and started on the path to reinstatement, with Edgeworth back in the country to help implement the jurist system. They’re closer than they’ve been since Phoenix’s disbarment, finally meeting up without the pretense of work. But wounds new and old take time to heal, and gaps never close that easily.

“I am perfectly trustworthy around fragile things,” Phoenix defended, looking down briefly to secure his sleeve in place. “Name one thing I’ve broken.”
