BOOP!
fml we gotta do everything ourselves here
Coñe como mola
Every now and then, I come across a hidden gem of a fic. THIS IS ONE OF THEM!!!!!
Seriously this was written in 2021!? I keep scrolling up and wondering why the stats aren’t higher! The writing is gorgeous, the dialogue is so well written and the tension so delicately crafted. At the end of that last paragraph, I wanted a cuddle!!! Or to give one to the author or writing and sharing this!
More people need to read and appreciate this work. Here is my bit to help with that.
Major and Minor Keys (5848 words) by FlamanZ
Summary: Day 1 of Narumitsu Week 2021: Chains/Locks
Snapshots of a friendship (/more), through the four times Miles uses Phoenix's spare keys. Takes place wholly in the disbarment era. Very tempted to title this "Miles Edgeworth Has Read the Book Holes, and Zero is His Favorite Character." Do with that what you will.
Always makes my day to see Hilda ❤️😊
Hilda by Duane Bryers
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)

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

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.

Do you have a fave unfinished long fic? Please share the link in the comments!

Really beautiful one-shot! Really captures those dreamy ‘noticing’ moments of early love.
okay so this is not the fic i teased a few months ago cause ive been too busy to dedicate the time needed to finish it, but apparently not busy enough to stop me from writing at all
here's a very short 1.9k narumitsu one shot
i promise you that 10k 5+1 thing that i was writing will get finished at some point so help me god
also THANKS CHEL AND SABER FOR BETA READING THIS ONE AS WELL I LOVE YOU GUYS
Bro is tired
NNNNNNYYOOOOOOM!
It felt like it took Edgeworth about three seconds to get there
I've had this headcanon rattling around in my head for a while
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 🥺💕
