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
“He’s sick,” Trucy supplied. “I think it’s the flu. He keeps pretending he’s fine, but I checked his temperature with that thermometer you gave us, and I can’t remember what it’s supposed to be, but more than a hundred is bad, right?”
-
Edgeworth visits the Wrights' residence after a worried call from Trucy with the intent of just dropping off some medicine before heading to work. There's just one problem: Phoenix Wright absolutely refuses to take cold medicine.

Summary
A slow burn that's on one level about Gay Lawyers, and on another about healing from pain and finding joy in a world that sucks. Each chapter springs up around various homes, furniture, and found family. As Phoenix and Maya attempt to pick up the pieces after Mia's death, Edgeworth and Franziska are likewise struggling to figure out themselves and their feelings in the wake of Von Karma. Mostly about letting people into your life and letting them change your way of life: how caring for others can ultimately help you care for yourself.
Title is taken from a poem of the same name by Jack Gilbert.Series

Summary
“A vacation?” Apollo asked.
“Yeah! You know what a vacation is, right Polly? When are you going to get another opportunity like this? A beach vacation? A pool? It’s not like you could afford this place without splitting the cost.”
One condo. Six lawyers. Seven secret plans. What could possibly go wrong?(Otherwise known as: If I can't have my beach vacation, someone has to.)

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.

Miles, in his grief, switched paths and became a defense attorney, and gained a new life with his daughter Trucy. He's trying to put the past behind him, but when a new prosecutor with no memories shows up and starts reminding him of someone, it might be harder than he originally thought.
*******************************
An AU where Phoenix dies after falling off the bridge in Bridge to the Turnabout (At least, everyone thinks he does). In his grief, Miles changes his path and becomes a defense attorney instead. Except then, three years later, a mysterious prosecutor with no memories shows up. -

Summary
Getting over one's doomed romantic feelings for Phoenix Wright was a simple task: give the man polite distance, focus on one's career, and contemplate a Phoenix Wright-less version of the future where one was somehow happy.
Notice that these steps did not include pushing a shopping cart alongside Phoenix Wright, trading flowers with Phoenix Wright's young daughter, or going to Phoenix Wright's home to celebrate Phoenix Wright's stupid, endlessly endearing made-up holiday.
Miles did this to himself. He deserved it.
(Or: Phoenix & Trucy celebrate "Discount Candy Day": the day after Easter, when all the chocolate bunnies are on sale. Edgeworth is regretfully dragged along.)

Summary
“Come on, Ren-kun,” Yukari nudges Ren as he slumps. “I dove into being Pink Argus with little experience myself, and I haven’t regretted it since. Maybe you’ll feel the same.”
Ren thinks about it. His life really couldn’t and shouldn’t revolve completely around the shadow world, he supposes. And he’s not obligated to do any more than this if acting doesn’t agree with him after all.
Ann’s going to freak. Futaba is going to lose her shit.
“You remember the Phantom Thieves of Hearts business a few years back?” The director asks. “It won’t be a complete one to one, but I do have to admit that this series’ plot is loosely based on it.”
Okay, now that’s just unfair. Now Ren has to take the role.
So that’s how Ren becomes a Featherman Ranger.
Or, Amamiya Ren becomes a Featherman actor, bases his character off Akechi, and the real Akechi Goro disastrously simps from afar.

Summary
This was the fucking worst.
Sure, he and Lup weren't technically adults yet, but he didn't see why they couldn't live on their own. No, instead they were forced to go live on some ranch owned by an aunt they never even met before. Yeah, if push came to shove Taako could rock the cowboy glam aesthetic, but that didn't make living out in the middle of goddamn nowhere any better. There certainly wasn't any sort of entertainment out here, nothing but goddamn horses.
And if shit wasn't bad enough, Lup had to go get a crush on some dude in bluejeans and cowboy boots. Now Taako was high and dry on his own, with no company for his misery. At least the horses didn't mind listening to his complaints.
