Summary
The tip of the mountain was just broad enough for a dozen men to stand abreast, and it balanced precariously on a much thinner base, like plates spinning on a mummer’s stick. Tiresias sat by the ledge, his legs dangling over the abyss. When Hermes sat beside him, he met his gaze easily, unseeing but finding him regardless, recognising him through the star-filled sockets of his eyes, a space reserved just for Hermes in the unending void of him. Hermes liked to consider himself one of these stars, somewhere Tiresias could always see him. He did always seem to expect him when he came.
“Hermes,” he said, with all the recognition of birds returning home after winter. Hermes loved hearing his name like that, said in that lovely, droning voice, even and steady as the man Tiresias had been in life. He loved arriving somewhere and being welcomed just for the sake of his presence, needing to do nothing other than being there.
“Hello, darling."
/////
Or: The weight of mortality, and a place to put it down. An average day in Hermes’ life as psychopomp—and the leisure that follows when his work is done.

Summary
He’s ten years old, sitting at the Von Karma table, idly pushing the food on his plate back and forth. He hasn’t eaten in probably two or three days, his appetite swallowed in the wake of the anniversary of his father’s death.
“Tonight,” Von Karma begins, clearing off his own plate and dabbing at the corners of his mouth with his napkin, “I have decided that we shall host another mock trial.”
Manfred drops a stack of files onto the table, spreading them out in front of him. Miles’ stomach lurches to his shoes, a pooling dread taking its place.
The cover in front of him reads: DL-6, documents 1-18.
(Or: December 28th, across the years.)

Summary
This house is her father’s last act of revenge, it seems, for his last will and testament lays somewhere within these walls, collecting dust on a bookshelf or perhaps locked away within a drawer. It seems fitting that his final cruelty will be a walk down memory lane, every reminder of her childhood unearthed like a corpse from a tomb.
(On the eve of her father’s execution, Franziska von Karma revisits her childhood home.)
[formerly titled "The Burning House"]

Summary
Phoenix Wright is going to be a great defense attorney, Mia is sure of it. He truly believes that everyone has a bit of good in them, and nowhere is that more apparent than with every mention of his childhood friend, Miles. Though she may not have the whole picture, Mia knows that Phoenix will one day be in court saving people like Miles from cruel prosecutors like Edgeworth.
Or: Mia doesn't know that Phoenix's childhood friend Miles and Prosecutor Edgeworth are the same person... until she does.

Summary
Phoenix wanted to make Pearl’s first Valentine’s day one to remember, and he certainly succeeded… just not in the way that he hoped.
Thanks to an attempted murder, Edgeworth decides that it’s about time he returned to America. Once home, he promises Phoenix Wright that he will repay him for saving his life. This quickly becomes a more complicated task than he’d originally envisioned. Not only does Edgeworth have to bring Phoenix’s “killer” to justice, but he also has to focus on fixing all of the damage he’d done to his friends psyche.

Summary
Alastor, Altruist, Died for his Friends. That was the headline. Vox made sure it was plastered all over Hell the moment he'd seen that demon flee for his life. After he remained missing, Vox accepted that he really was dead. Dead and gone. No rival. He and the Vees were now free to rule Hell as the Overlords they'd always dreamed of being, and the plans were finally in motion.
Then Vox went out for donuts, and everything came crashing down. Because Alastor wasn't dead.
He was barely alive.

Summary
Alastor comes across an unconscious and battered Vox while out on one of his strolls. He feels compelled to bring him back to the hotel.
Ao3's formatting continues to defeat me. Why do you remove my indents? I don't know why it hates me, but at the time of positing this I've been working on this for like 2 hours. I'm tired. I want to go to bed. The story is readable. That's all I care about. Peace.

Summary
[...] Even though he knew that the demons are only summoned according to what the current Papa truly wants, what he needs most out of his supporting pack of Ghouls. Usually, Papas don't even need to be fully aware of what those needs might be; the Pit just reaches into your soul and figures it out, he guessed. He wondered what it was that he needed.
A synopsis of Terzo’s tenure as Papa, with a special focus on his relationship with one quintessence Nameless Ghoul.

Summary
“We archivists have never seen the light of the day nor the darkness of the night. We archivists, orphans of life, have only known the roughness of books and papers. We archivists, know everything but our own birth. We archivists, know the very life of the poorest man on Earth and can recite the life of a commoner born in the century you don’t even know. We archivists, can recite what happened the day the new era of magic appeared. We archivists, shall reveal the secrets never told. We archivists shall reveal the truth of the Emeritus Bloodline.”
