Summary
"I know you will never want to speak to me again. I know you will never see me again. And I'm sorry.
I'm sorry because I very much think I love you. And now I've ruined everything."
Five moments in the love story—a phrase which here means "a tumultuous affair including quite a lot of hate, self-doubt, tragedy, and mistakes"—of a firestarter and the phoenix who rose from the ashes that he left behind.

Summary
The first cracks in Bruce Wayne’s mind begin to spider outwards with the death of Barbara Gordon (well, that’s not strictly true. We all know that the first weakening of the foundation that is Gotham’s sweetheart’s psyche was the murder of his parents, followed by the murder of Jason Todd, followed by a helluva lotta fear toxin - but now we’re delving into recent history.)
Admittedly, there has been strain on his mental health all night, starting with the aforementioned fear toxin, and the appearance of an enemy he’d tried so desperately not to think of for so long. It’s been getting worse as the night goes on. What started as the occasional comment has developed into a full running commentary, and Bruce is no longer capable of droning out the din. -

Phoenix has never been anyone's first choice, and the concept scares the shit out of him.

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
Phoenix had known what he was doing. He’d known that he’d be giving things up. If he hadn’t known it would be Miles, well, that was because he hadn’t wanted to think about it hard enough. Miles didn’t owe him-- a daughter, a life, a second income, a different world; Miles doesn’t owe him anything anymore.
*
Pre-Apollo Justice. Phoenix and Miles get back together.
