    Summary

    Akira Kurusu is dead.

    Goro knows this because he can see him. He’s standing beside the bar, miserable and translucent, his posture tight and eyes faded dull. He flinches every time someone suggests going back to the ship to get him, presumably because, like Goro, he knows what they’ll find. He wonders if he’s real— he assumes he can’t be. Ghosts aren’t an actual thing that exist, and it wouldn’t be that much of a stretch for his own mind to finally have fucking cracked after a day like today.

    It doesn’t matter. Either he’s finally snapped, because Akira is dead and it’s his fault, or he’s being haunted because Akira is dead and it’s his fault. The difference, in the moment, feels semantic.

    (It's not like it's bad having him around. And if he's right and Goro can bring him back? Well. He's not going to get his hopes up.)

    Summary

    “Nobody seems to know what to do with you. When I received the call, the warden seemed bewildered that you were even here at all.” It was a phone call that Naoto would not soon forget—the chilling way that the warden seemed to continually forget what he was asking mid-sentence, unable to latch onto Akechi’s name as if his existence was something contingent on his direct and immediate presence.

    Akechi bared his teeth, eyes in shadow. “Nobody has ever known what to do with me,” he said, voice dripping acid.

    “Then, this should be refreshing for you,” he said, delighting in the way that Akechi’s gaze sharpened as Naoto plucked a nonexistent piece of lint from his coat. “You’re coming with me. To Inaba.”


    At the end of P5R, the world forgets Akechi.

    Summary

    Phoenix Wright has a secret. He can hide it from the world, but he can’t hide it from himself. At least, not anymore. When stumbling over one old memory digs up one after another, the dominos fall and he finds himself in a place where he hasn’t been in many years, in more ways than one. Here, in the deepest chasm of his soul, he must go face-to-face with something that he has avoided for a long, long time.

    (Full synopsis in initial author's note).

    Dedicated to WingSongHalo for starting me on the path of fanfiction-writing by showing me, through the writer’s art, what fanfiction really is and what it can be.

    This story is also dedicated to the memory of Marcel Dupré: a French organist, composer, and music teacher, whose work and aspects of his life greatly influenced this piece.
