    Summary

    The truth of the matter is, Kaveh has no idea how to read Alhaitham. He prides himself on being an expert at understanding people, his empathetic heart lending him the capacity to relate deeply with those around him (oftentimes to his detriment). But with Alhaitham, there is nothing for him to read; no clues from his cool expression for him to grasp. The man appears stoic all the time even during their petty bickering.

    Honestly, when was the last time Kaveh has seen the man do anything except smirk or frown? Does Alhaitham feel happiness? Has he ever seen the man laugh?

    Kaveh's mind is drawing a blank on the latter and it...bothers him deeply.

    --
    Kaveh devises a plan to get Alhaitham to smile by being aggressively nice to the man (and also maybe if he makes Alhaitham happy, he can score a discount on his rent or something). Alhaitham thinks Kaveh ate some mind-altering mushrooms and is, understandably, confused and mildly afraid.

    Summary

    “I’m going for a swim,” Kaveh says. “I refuse to suffer in this heat any longer.”
    Not far off their camp lies a crystalline lake. Its surface had seemed so inviting when they passed it by earlier. Alhaitham finds himself longing for it now, to cool off and to wash away the smoke of the fire that clings to him like a curse. He rises to his feet, fighting the slight unsteady sway of the alcohol in his veins. He feels Kaveh watch him, and refuses to make eyecontact. Instead, he busies himself with clearing away the bottles that lie scattered around the fire.
    Then, Kaveh speaks up with a softness that catches Alhaitham slightly off guard. “Won’t you join me?”

    Or: They wish they'd never done it. And then they do it again.

    Summary

    "Neither of them moved for a few moments. The prosecutor looked like he was about to jump out of his skin, gaze intense. A firebird’s flames, however, never truly faded, as Mia had once told him, because Miles turned away, as if he were overwhelmed by Phoenix’s own stare. In the end, inferno seemingly won over the storm. Although, with the two of them, nothing was ever certain."

    Summary

    More than a year has passed since Miles came back from the dead. He is overlooking a current case with Franziska on Christmas night when Phoenix's assistant bursts in the room and drags him out on what suspiciously appears to be a date. A very bad date that only piles up the doubt he feels about his relationship with Phoenix to begin with, even though they've already 'made up'.

    Summary

    Phoenix finds an old gift lying around that he had meant to give to Edgeworth years ago, and Edgeworth finds himself obligated to return the favor. Meanwhile, Phoenix continues to live his life. Neither of these things are particularly easy. They are also not as hard as Phoenix and Edgeworth are making them.

    Summary

    What starts as pillow talk between Franziska and Maya turns into an argument when Phoenix and Miles's relationship is brought up.

    Maya is convinced that Edgeworth is too emotionally constipated to realise Phoenix has feelings for him. Meanwhile, Franziska believes it to be Phoenix's lack of reciprocation and understanding of complex emotions preventing a relationship.

    Determined to prove the other wrong, Franziska and Maya drag Phoenix and Miles on outings they believe will confirm their respective opinions. The chaos that ensues provides evidence neither had taken into account.

    Summary

    “I kept thinking that they sort of remind me of you and me.”

    Edgeworth looks up from his tea. “Hm? Who?”

    Phoenix speaks into the crook of his palm, resting his chin there as he continues to gaze out the window. “The kids. You know. Apollo and Gavin.”

    Edgeworth sets his cup down with a ceramic 'clink'. “Surely you can’t be serious.”

    “I dunno.” He concludes, nibbling on the crust of his sandwich. “I think there are similarities... Maybe we’re both so damn old at this point we don’t even remember what it feels like to be young.”

    Edgeworth huffs a monosyllabic sound that could be mistaken for laughter. The smallest of smiles plays at his lips; his tea goes untouched for several long moments. “Perhaps you’re right,” he eventually says.

    Phoenix hopes he isn’t.

    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.

    Summary

    The bookstore at the corner of 14th and Fen is known for many things. It’s known, firstly, for the books, which makes a certain amount of sense for a bookstore, if you think about it. The place is positively crammed with books, from floor to ceiling, filling shelves and sitting in neat piles in all the nooks and crannies. Books, books, books: books so old they’re practically falling apart, with dog-eared pages and notes scribbled in the margins, and books that are brand new, the covers shiny, the paper white, and the spines barely creased. There are so many books filling the shelves of the Corner Bookstore that the entire place smells of paper and ink, of stories, the way a bookstore should.

     

    This is a story about an introverted bookstore owner meeting the artist who works at the flower shop across the street (and his magician daughter). This is a story about books, plants, awkward conversations and quiet friendships, a story about a stray cat, finding your people, and slowly, slowly, falling in love.
