bulletproof loneliness, at best by cosmiado

Summary
At ten years old, Miles had woken up alone in a hospital bed on December 28th and been told that his father was dead. The memory had stuck with him like bloodstains on a white dress shirt, but it hadn't exactly been a surprise. Some part of him had known the moment he had woken up alone that his father was gone.
The same bone-deep inexplicable knowing could not be said of Phoenix's confession. There was no part of Miles Edgeworth that had even remotely expected to hear those words, on that day or any other. He had long ago resigned himself to the idea that his feelings would never be reciprocated. The realization that apparently he had been completely wrong this whole time refused to sink in.
-
In a moment of bravery and emptiheadedness, Phoenix confesses his feelings to Miles. How can Miles get what he wants when he's not even entirely sure what that is?
(Prewritten fic, chapters uploaded weekly.)

Summary
Up until the day that Phoenix earns his attorney's badge back, Miles has no idea that his closest companion and his childhood best friend are in fact one and the same.
Or: Phoenix is trans, Miles doesn't realize, and one simple statement accidentally sets off a chain reaction of realizations that threatens to break poor Miles' brain.

Summary
“Oh, Normal, hey kiddo, uh… Could you go wake up your dad for me? I need his help with something, it’s pretty urgent.”
Normal nodded, and closed the door for a moment to remove the chain. He was about to tell Henry to come in, that he would go grab Sparrow and then be right back, but all the breath was punched out of his chest when he noticed the second person standing with Henry. At first, his brain couldn't quite make sense of it, refused to comprehend the thing he was seeing.
And that was it, wasn’t it, because what stood next to Henry on the porch was a thing, not a person. It was a corpse, skin pallid and beginning to rot, milky eyes sunken deep into their sockets, mouth hanging open limply, displaying a gray, dry-looking tongue. It had a blanket wrapped around its thin bony shoulders, but Normal could still see scraps of fabric clinging to its shrunken limbs… a short sleeve button up that might once have been white, khaki pants, a green sweater vest with a huge bloodstain in the center.

[MAJOR S2 SPOILERS] Hermie takes a deal, and comes back a little bit wrong. Luckily for him, Normal's never been too scared of zombies, especially not when those zombies also happen to be cute boys.Bookmarked by astrcnaut

Summary
If he had been paying any semblance of attention, then the Swallows-Oak-Garcia’s backyard would have looked pretty much exactly like Hermie remembered it. But he was only looking at the boy standing alone on the edge of the porch, tear stains on his face, and clutching a small piece of fabric like it was a lifeline. Upon closer examination, Hermie saw that it was a jaggedly-cut piece of a vibrantly green sweater. Hermie’s sweater. The last one he’d ever worn.
It was enough, he told himself. It was enough to see Normal, to know he was safe and okay, to lay eyes on his best friend even if Normal didn't see him in return. Hermie would go back to hell, and try not to want to die, and spend the rest of his life picturing his friend's face in the dark. It was enough. It had to be enough.
It was not enough.

Hermie went to Hell after the events of ep. 47 and became a full-blown demon. Weeks later, the world has been saved, Normal still doesn't know Hermie's (kind of) alive, and Nicky is tired of lying on his behalf. Shenanigans and feelings ensure.Bookmarked by astrcnaut

Summary
“Perhaps you could… no, never mind.” Hermie looked back down at the table, and yoinked a fry from off of Taylor's plate, which prompted another “GUH?” from his nephew.
“Wait, do you have an idea, Hermie?” Normal asked, interest piqued despite his friend’s nonchalance.
“Oh, it's hardly an idea, really, you wouldn't be interested,” Hermie said, a slight smirk on his face, carefully not making eye contact. If Normal didn't know any better, he'd think he was being messed with, but he supposed Hermie was just odd like that sometimes.
“You should tell me just in case! I'm open to pretty much anything at this point.”
Hermie's eyes flashed up to meet Normal's, and the smirk on his face expanded into a full-blown grin.
“There's always… well, I mean, there's always theater."
-
After being reprimanded by Tony Pepperoni for his lack of elective credits, Normal is convinced by Hermie to join Teen High's production of Big Fish. Surely it will go perfectly fine and there will be no jealousy or melodrama or romantic feelings whatsoever.EDIT oct 2025: the hyperfixation has faded, but it never leaves entirely. i'll finish this one day, but it may be a couple years. thanks for your patience!

Summary
“Hey.” Normal’s voice is just a murmur. Hermie swivels his head to look at him. Normal’s face is turned towards him, and some of his hair has fallen across his eyes. Hermie’s hand comes up and brushes it back. Normal catches his hand gently and holds it. “If you’re tired, I can let you sleep.” He starts to shift as if he’s preparing to leave. Hermie’s hand tightens around Normal’s.
“You can stay.” Hermie’s not sure what he’s offering. After searching Hermie’s face for a moment, Normal nods minutely. Normal twists his hand around to link their fingers together.
“I’ll be here,” he whispers. Hermie’s eyes drift shut.
Life always finds a way to leave Hermie behind, until he meets Normal.

Summary
"Of course, they've devised the perfect plan to catch him while he’s out of the suit. After studying The Human's behavior from afar, they’ve come to recognize his pattern of sympathy and kindness to those in need. Other humans seem to be put-off by this trait of his, but what Herman notices the most is his cycle of caring for helpless animals. ...
That is why, through the power of shapeshifting, they plan on stealing The Human's heart… while playing the role of a pitiful little bat."

Summary
The mascot costume is ridiculous–the head too big for the body, the hands flopping oddly at the wrist. The person within jumps up and down, cheering nonsensical, simplistic phrases. When they see the opposing team score a goal, they yell, “It’s ok, teens! Next time it’ll be, uh–seen! Woo!”
Hermie is entranced.
“My God…” he whispers. “It’s perfect.”
…
Or: Hermie’s not here to make friends. He goes to a soccer game to better understand his character—nothing more, nothing less. It’s too bad Normal doesn’t get the memo.

Summary
Normal was fairly resistant to spending his summers away from San Dimas, but he finds a friend in the forests surrounding their vacation home fairly quickly. They’re a bit odd, but Normal likes them all the more for it.

Summary
“I’ve watched dozens of fake-dating movies, shows, plays. It’s a very popular trope. They’re always hampered by underlying feelings for one another, drawn out by the façade of their intimacy,” Hermie grins, “that won’t happen to us.”
Normal looks perplexed, but nods, “sure.”
______In which Hermie is exceedingly wrong about the above statement, and a lot more besides.

Glenn Close dies as he lives–with pain in his chest and a smile on his face. Glenn Close dies, and the universe does not weep. In fact, well. The universe is rather pissed off.
…
God is wearing a bathrobe.
“You’re early,” he says, legs crossed. His face, aglow in a heavenly light, is distinctly unimpressed.
Glenn blinks. He looks down, and his feet have found solid ground. “This isn’t hell," he manages.
“No shit, Sherlock.”

Summary
They both exhale together, a sigh that lingers in the space between, a shared satisfaction. He briefly marvels at the sun-kissed flush across Ed’s cheeks, the curl and dip of his eyelashes. Ed’s hand is squeezing too tightly, but Stede finds he doesn’t really mind. In fact, somehow, he feels it’s not enough, that he needs to be closer, held tighter. Somehow, he feels that he fits perfectly here in the curve of Ed’s arms.
(canon divergent: In which Blackbeard decides he would like to attempt to impress society again, and this time, sets his sights on a masquerade ball. Stede decides to teach him to dance)

Summary
“Remember that girl from last night? We’re gonna go out today.”
Ryan felt something in his stomach, but this time it wasn’t annoyance, or even anger. It was more like a pit had formed, a sense of dread leaking into his body. He didn’t know what to say. This was good, right? That Min-Gi was hitting it off with someone?
...Why did it not feel good?

Summary
"Look, Minster, buddy, pal," Kez begins, "I'm not gonna be all, 'Oh my goodness, I totally didn't see this coming, woe, my world is collapsing!' Like, yeah, you got the same birthday and I know people are like 'awww, they're brothers by choice.’ But nah, man, when I met you guys it was like I could cut that sexual tension with a knife. Almost did, actually! You were both so obvious, you deserved a good shanking."
Min-Gi cringes for a multitude of reasons. "Thanks for not doing that."
Kez flaps a hand. "Case in point: I had a feeling this was gonna happen, so I don’t think any less of either of you for doing...uh, the do? I’m just flattered you told me, ‘specially since it’s bugging you so bad.”
“But what do I do?”
“Uhhh talk to him?”
The guttural noise Min lets out is a mix between a cackle and a sputter. It turns a few heads.
Kez’s brows rise. “Wow, okay. Glad my stand-up’s still intact, but I didn’t realize I was selling out Madison Square with that one.”
min-gi wakes up, finds a letter, and it gets worse.

Summary
He's gotten better, since the train incident. If Ryan has gotten better about minding how his actions affect other people—and he has—Min has gotten better at taking chances and standing out. He wouldn't have dropped out of uni to live out of the back of a near rusted-out 1969 Ford Econoline if he wasn't willing to follow his heart, at least a little.
But it's still a gradual process. Growing up always is.
He has limits.
