Summary
Somehow, Matt has become an adult before Jay. He goes on runs, lifts, cooks at home, reads, takes more than 2 showers a week, goes out on the weekends, does his laundry consistently. It drives Jay crazy. It's not fair. He goes back to sleep, pulling the covers over his head, hoping that maybe he'll disappear.

Fic title from The Leanover by Life Without Buildings
A look through the years at how actual filmmaker Matt Johnson and actual composer Jay McCarrol continually attempt to stuff their ever-evolving relationship back into its platonic confines.
-
“You familiar with the Beatles, Bird?”
“Am I familiar with THE Beatles?”
--
“Hey. Stay still.” Jay said, very matter-of-factly. He rested his head down once more, and actually closed his eyes. There was something serene about it, something that made Matt feel more comfortable somehow. Here, in the closest he’d ever come to sex so far, he was under no obligation to perform. No eyes were on him, no cues were being taken from him, not even the gaze of the guy who had his fucking dick in his hand would rest upon him. Matt knew Jay was too high to have done that intentionally, but part of him wondered whether it was a subconscious choice. If he really did know Matt that well, to know that he wouldn’t be able to let go of himself with an audience.

Summary
“This weekend? It's Wednesday.”
“It's Thursday,” Jared says quietly. Jay looks at him open-mouthed like it's the first time he's seeing him.
“It's Thursday,” he amends. “That’s not a lot of time to prepare.”
“We’ve done more with less,” Matt counters. Jay takes the point silently. The game is on.
The only reason Matt would ever go to a family wedding is if he and Jay could get a show at The Rivoli out of it. The plan: Play the wedding, bring the house down, and get his cousin and all her cool young friends to book Nirvana the Band for an after party. The part where they pretend to be a couple, threatening decades of load-bearing repression, comes out of nowhere – at least for Matt, it does. Jay has his own plan.

Summary
Jay wants to be somewhere else, back home with the space heater at his feet. The stadium is miserable, his chair is hard and small, and his lower-back pain is flaring. He's relieved that he was able to convince Matt against more hamburgers, narrowly escaping a pickle-flavored kiss. Speaking of, Jay watches the couple on the big screen smile and wave goodbye, replaced by a bright advertisement for concessions.
"We might be next!" Matt says, turning his head close to yell in Jay's ear.
What if Matt didn't eat all those Wahlburgers?

Matt's smile is full of pride. "What else do you like, Bird?"
It's so difficult to do this, but he knows how much Matt likes it. The praise. And he deserves it, besides.

Summary
(Jay asks Matt to help him take photos for an online dating profile.)
“Show me. I wanna see what you do to them. You never tell me when I ask.” Matt is petulant and commanding all at once, in a way that he and only he could balance.
This is officially a record-breaking new level of gay chicken. Someone should alert Guinness.

"I'm from the future," Jay says at last.
That's not possible, is Matt's first thought but he clamps down on it because this is Jay, and Jay is wandering Spadina, and Jay is also here in his room. So. Something impossible is now possible and it may as well be time travel.
"You're a time traveller." Matt giggles. "Holy shit. Holy shit. How did you—? No, never mind that, what am I thinking. Do you have a sports almanac on you? Any winning lotto numbers?"

Summary
“Plan,” Matt exclaims as he bursts down the stairs. “Plan, plan, really good plan. Really fucking good plan, Jay.”
Jay, who had been half asleep on the couch, blinks awake. He had been dreaming. They had been on a picnic in the park. It was empty save for the two of them and, actually, maybe they were in a meadow. There were flowers everywhere and they were sharing a big sandwich, and Jay was wearing a — huh. Matt stands on the couch over him, a foot on either side of his body, and Jay watches as he writes in big letters: Dress Plan. And then underlines it a few times.

Summary
There is something wrong with them. There must be. Because it's been a week since Jay came back from 2008, since they'd kissed, and they haven't been able to stop. They've barely come up for air. Jay had managed to get dressed on the first morning but it didn't last long. Matt was strong and impatient. Jay gave up on shirts with buttons by the afternoon. Gave up on wearing anything other than sweats or briefs by the second day.
Matt wants him all the time. And Jay wants what Matt wants. He really, really, really does.

Summary
Phoenix harbours no illusions that getting his badge back is going to be an easy task, even if the hardest part of clearing his name is technically over. He's fully aware that his reinstatement is going to be a bit more complicated than just passing the bar and is going to be more of a case of:
Step 1: Save money to retake bar exam
Step 2: Study frantically to pass said bar exam
Step 3: Pass bar exam
Step 4: Hope and pray that he'll somehow be able to still pull in clients after his reputation got burned to the ground
Step 5: Haircut
Step 6: New suit
Step 7: Finally, finally confess his passionate love for Edgeworth that has been eating him up inside for the past 25 years
Step 8: ???? Lawyer???Thankfully he has a pretty solid support network of people willing to help him out. And if Edgeworth has anything to say about it, they'll probably be able to cut out a few of those steps along the way.
Which is why Phoenix promises himself one thing. If he passes the bar again, he is absolutely going to kiss the Chief Prosecutor square on the lips. Whatever happens after that, they'll just have to wait and see.

Summary
Athena sighs. Kind of embarrassing, really: the Turnabout Terror and the city’s chief prosecutor, legal legends, unable to make even the most basic logical leap and figure out that they’re this deeply in love with each other.
She glances back over at Apollo, whose head is tipped back, staring at the smoggy sky. He’s never been one for getting involved in these sorts of things, but honestly, Athena is just about nearing her limit with Mr. Wright and Mr. Edgeworth.
This requires an intervention.
