Yay!

chapter 4 of the chrysanthemums are burning is finished!!

finally meeting the "naru" in narumitsu and seeing a lil bit of what phoenix has been up to after all these long years :333

I whole-heartedly recommend this fic. It is sensitively and compellingly written, and deals with themes of mental health and what it means to really love someone unconditionally. It is truly of the best 7 year gap and Phoenix & Trucy fics I've ever read.

Rating: T Category: Gen Relationships: Trucy Wright & Phoenix Wright, Miles Edgeworth & Trucy Wright, Miles Edgeworth/Phoenix Wright Words: 5.9k Tags: Seven Year Gap, POV Trucy Wright, Epistolary, Character Study, Family, Complicated Relationships, Borderline Personality Disorder, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Angst with a Happy Ending Summary: “It begins with a diary, like all things with Daddy do.”

Kicking off this blog with probably my favorite fic I’ve written to date. This is set in the 7yg, in which Trucy discovers Phoenix’s diary, reads it, and learns an awful lot of miserable dad-lore in the process. Mainly a Phoenix character study also featuring complicated narumitsu, Trucy parenting her own parent, and Phoenix navigating the labyrinthine minefield that is BPD.

Enjoy and thank you! 🤍

One of my absolute favourite fics and Noodles-and-tea art!?!? 🥰 I’m so happy!!!

Narumitsu Fanfics that YOU may not have heard about! (You won’t believe #5!!)

…joke title aside… I wanted to share a few NaruMitsu fanfictions that are slightly lesser known! I love Legal Partners as much as the next fan, but I thought it would be a great idea to share some new works to put onto your bookmarks bar.

stories with NSFW content are marked with ‘*’

One-Shots

Postscript by CantFaketheFunk and Aria/Raelle (Court Records Forums) A gorgeous, simple slice-of-life story revolving Edgeworth and Wright learning a little bit more about what they mean to each other, all thanks to a double date with Larry… and Iris? Established Narumitsu, past Iris/Phoenix is an important plotpoint, and not-really Larry/Iris. Characterisation is well-done.

Your Secret Admirer by snorkellingfish (FFnet) Very cute, short letterfic in which Edgeworth writes love letters to Wright.

The Correct Way by VIII of XIII (FFnet) * (mostly just suggestive content but marking just in case) Humour fic in which Wright rejects Edgeworth. He demands to know why, and the answer isn’t what he was expecting.

Where The Heart Is by hanae0711 (LJ) With an introspective, calmly-paced writing style, the writer captures a family dynamic between Wright, Trucy, and Edgeworth. 

That Other Kind of Dance by Ellcrys (FFnet) Also known as “pantswarrior” on AO3, this user has written well-known Narumitsu pieces such as Surviving You and Trucy’s Daddy. Not everything is written by this person is on AO3, and some may not be aware of the existence of their other pieces. 

Good Company by Northernflicker (AO3) If you’re in need of a sad, bittersweet fanfic, here’s a short NaruMitsu AU that’ll satisfy. In a modern setting, Edgeworth copes with regret over the things he should have said.

Change by kiyala (AO3) Iris struggles to accept that things change, and Edgeworth needs to realise that things don’t have to.

Night Lights by Anon2015 (AO3) Wright thought things were just fine as is, until he bore witness to another world where things were better than fine.

Sorry Doesn’t Cut It (When You Don’t Need To Say It) by GahoolianGirl (AO3) Canon divergent Trucy and Wright fic, plotpoint Narumitsu. Wright feels remorse over the things he couldn’t have given to his daughter. She thinks he gave enough.

The Stars Above by Tarma_Hartley (AO3) Good old Regency-era!NaruMitsu. 

Simple by VickyVicarious (AO3) A simple fic that shows how even though certain things are complicated for Wright and Edgeworth, one thing certainly isn’t.

I, In the Art of the Compromise by Quitebrilliantindeed (AO3) Franziska-centric. Who knew how much buried emotions could surface upon hearing the news of Wright and Edgeworth’s engagement?

The Answer is Just Like Heaven by Lyrical Rawr (FFnet) In which Larry drags Edgeworth to a bar, and he’s just a little slow to catch on the exact nature of the relationship his two childhood friends have.

the words unspoken, we’ll be there soon by jonphaedrus (AO3) Mountaineering canon-deviation. Wright and Edgeworth meet again, not as attorneys, but as mountain climbers, braving the elements.

Freefall by estelraca (AO3) Being together with Wright is wonderful. Now, if only Edgeworth could share this fact without feeling fearful.

Keeping in Character by fuzzybees (AO3) Edgeworth and Trucy share a phone call.

Thoughts about the ‘Demon Prosecutor’ & ‘That Man’ by nerdowl (AO3) Poem fic that develops alongside Wright and Edgeworth’s thoughts about each other.

Periphrasis by EvilEkat (AO3) Four birds that Edgeworth comes to associate with Wright, aside from the obvious one.

The Way to a Man’s Heart by SlowQuotesQuill (AO3) The universally best ingredient is…

Lux by organicgold (AO3) The use of diction and a motif of light in this story brings a comfortable realisation of feelings.

The Turning of the Tides by altairattorney (AO3) Introspective writing in Edgeworth’s point of view. Conveys very heavy emotion and resolution.

and down came the rain by The Soup (FFnet) Ambiguous timeline. Wright and Edgeworth slowly come to realise what has been there all along.

Incomplete or Ongoing

Call Me by Erstaz Writer (FFnet) - incomplete Anything by this writer is amazing. I selected this one particularly because of this author’s very insightful portrayal of Edgeworth’s character. The plot is as vanilla fanfic as you can get: main characters get drunk, share a drunken kiss and awkward conversations, both of them remember the next day but never talk about it; rather, it is the characters that truly give this story life.

My Oath, My Vendetta, My Vow by Cupcakitee (AO3) - ongoing In an alternate universe, the ghost of Gregory Edgeworth follows his son, unable to do anything about his transformation into the “Demon Prosecutor,” until Maya reveals his presence thanks to her spiritual powers. Slow-burn NaruMitsu in the background.

Struggling Against Gravity by musouka and Aria/Raelle (AO3) - ongoing A favourite with those who remember the Objection! Archive. To those who have not been in the fandom that long ago, this work is a story that explores the relationships Wright has with the important people in his life: Edgeworth and Maya. He learns more about himself and others in the wake of accompanying his prosecutor friend to dinner one night.

1001 Times by Pomelofangirl (AO3) - ongoing Written in a very unique style, and organised in even more so. This AU involves time traveling Wright and mistakes. It also has an immortal entity Edgeworth and fixing them.

Apollo of Notre Dame by Farris (AO3) - ongoing The Hunchback of Notre Dame AU, with a few twists! If you’re looking for an AU to follow until it’s complete, let Farris be your guide. (Don’t let the Apollo/Phoenix tag bother you, as per the original story, the endgame should be Miles/Phoenix.)

Our Thoughts Were Wicked by Design by VivaRocksteady (AO3) - ongoing The writing style of this work pairs very fittingly with the AU that takes place in an Ancient Rome setting. It’s a loose retelling of the trilogy series.

The Ghost of Edgeworth Manor by FyreBird_risefromtheashes (AO3) - incomplete A manor, a family of six, and a ghost who haunts the manor. This family quickly figures out that the one most haunted by the past is the ghost himself.

Wright and Prejudice by lalabnf (AO3) - ongoing? Pride and Prejudice AU. Wright is a barrister who just wants a case, but when company arrives from Germany, they bring along an old friend.

Correspondence by ingthing (AO3) - incomplete Victorian AU. A soldier and a law student meet at a party.

Completed

One of Every Color by Croik (FFnet) - 85k * I recommend all of this user’s Ace Attorney fanfics, but this one stands out as The NaruMitsu fic they’ve written. A casefic in which Wright must come to terms with a difficult client and his growing feelings for Edgeworth.

And Baby Makes Six by withpractice_ff (AO3) - 21k * Set in a time where the true identity of Apollo and Trucy is revealed, Wright lives with Thalassa and her children. One frustrating night, he ends up sleeping with Thalassa and gets her pregnant despite being in a relationship with Edgeworth. Everybody must now figure out how to deal with this complicated situation.

King of Hearts by Pearls1975 (AO3) - 6k Mildly canon-divergent. Edgeworth and Wright had gotten engaged at some point, but the incident leading to the seven-year gap leaves them separated. This doesn’t change the fact that they remain dear to each other’s hearts.

Locked Hearts and Hidden Voices by flybykeylimepie (AO3) - 11k This writer pulls off the second-person narrative well in this piece. While staying in Germany with Edgeworth, Wright meets a girl named Athena Cykes, who is able to look into his heart. Using her psychological abilities as a medium, this story gives an insightful perspective into Wright’s mind while he was disbarred.

Birthday Family Dinner by InvaderHam (AO3) - 7k Celebrating a birthday is best done with loved ones, and there is nothing short of beloved friends and family with Wright and Edgeworth.

Congratulations by (orphan_account) (AO3) - 4k Hurt/comfort fic. Edgeworth experiences just a fraction of what Kristoph is capable of.

Cold Harbor by Tarma_Hartley (AO3) - 4k A touching Civil War Narumitsu AU. Need I say any more? …actually yeah, have some comics of this story too.

Looming Truths by AsunderWolf (AO3) - 356k * The sheer size of this piece might scare some readers, but if you’re into long stories, it’s a must-read. Weaving in more in-depth character motives, incredible backstories, and an underlying plot that explores darker themes than Capcom allows, this story attempts to fill in the gaps of the unexplored details we were left puzzled over in canon. Every character is thoughtfully portrayed, leaving no doubt in this writer’s characterisation. There is so much in here, so just give it a go.

Phoenix’s Inferno by prospectkiss (AO3) - 9k Inspired by Dante’s Divine Comedy, the end result is an epic-style poem that has a very creative use of the Seven Deadly Sins and Heavenly Virtues. Did I mention there is a classic Wright-way turnabout?

The Glass of Paradise by gogollescent (AO3) 18k Great dialogue, great use of diction and syntax, and Wright’s inner-voice is spot on. Though this is predominantly a character study, it has all the elements that make up a narrative.

Honourable Mentions (not NaruMitsu, but highly recommended) 

The Realm by Farris (AO3) - ongoing Very creative use of a psychological/spiritual setting in order to share a narrative of characters confronting their internal conflicts. There are mentions of one-sided Iris/Phoenix on Iris’ part, but also includes some very subtle Edgeworth/Wright scenes.

Follow the Fool by CantFaketheFunk (FFnet) - complete A lovely FranDrian fanfiction that takes place after 2-4/Engarde case. Explores the dynamic both of these characters have with each other in order to overcome their past shadows.

Allowances by Lerayl (FFnet) Wright and Franziska wait for Edgeworth to return overseas in the airport. Ambiguous/implied NaruMitsu.

Kneesvember Day 9

10 *more* Ace Attorney fics that made me >LOL<

Reading AA fanfics on Ao3 has been my 'go to' choice for self-care this past year. The following are works that literally made me either snort, giggle, cackle or laugh out loud (or at the very least, smile hard ;) ). As usual, these are in no particular order, because creating a sense of order in life is an illusion, and fics are to be enjoyed and celebrated, not ranked ;p
