Summary
Miles looks at him. “I’ve wanted to marry you since 2024.”
Ear-burning, forthright truths revealed rarely, randomly, and in the tones of a comment on the weather: Miles’ specialty. Phoenix is about to melt from the inside out. It’ll create a horror scene (in the name of love) and result in a stain that Mr. Soriel will never be able to fully get out, but then, a curiosity eats through all of that, leaving nothing behind except the question: “Wait. What happened in 2024?”
And Miles says, “I’m not telling you.”
Phoenix and Miles take a trip to the tailors to get adjustments made ahead of their wedding. Something passes between them that, deep down, they already know, and a spontaneous decision gets made. Written for the Right Words nrmt zine.

Summary
When Vongole arrived, a few days after State vs. Misham, she did so with a neatly-packed crate of all her supplies, plus a dog bed and two 10 kilo bags of premium-grade dog food that were too big to fit, and an A4 manila envelope from the solicitor. Inside the envelope were the certificates of Vongole’s pedigree and the transferral of ownership papers. That last document was signed by Kristoph’s hand. There was nothing else. Klavier checked more times than he’d care to admit.
A rewrite of a piece written in 2021 for the Prosecutor Zine.

Summary
They’re at a fancy legal event, Miles is dressed in his nicest suit, and Phoenix just can’t keep it in his pants.
...Not that Miles, despite (very briefly) claiming otherwise, really has a problem with indulging him.

Summary
“Thank you for letting me do this,” Miles says.
Which is a ridiculous thing to say before having sex with someone, but it makes Phoenix go to jelly, literally, like he could burst into strawberry-flavoured gelatinous goo and fall to the towel and bed sheets, half of him being absorbed to stain the fabric pink forever, half of him staying sat there, sticky and sweet.
“Sure,” he says, nearly a stutter. He wants to say, I love you so much, please do whatever the hell you want with me, I’m already planning the flower arrangements in my head—
In which Phoenix conveniently says none of those things, or even anything close to them, while he and Edgeworth have sex for the first time.

Summary
1 - Phoenix's hair has been growing out. Miles's pining follows suit.
2 - Edgeworth likes to drive fast. He’s a bit of a prick about it.
3 - Edgeworth, and early-morning, jet-lagged musings.
4 - A rusharound at 8:32 in the morning, but new.

Summary
Inside a court room, Phoenix's timing has always been impeccable. Down to the wire, yes. But never too late.
Outside? Not so much.

Summary
After all they've been through, it's strange that something so important could be so simple, but for Miles and Phoenix, falling in love, at least, doesn't have to be the end of the world.
Some stress relief fluff that I wrote purely to cheer myself up - there is literally negative plot but there is a lot of lawyers falling into the bright and bitter kind of love that can only come from a lifetime of belligerent teamwork.
(The anxiety tag just refers to Edgeworth's reaction to earthquakes and mentions of a psychologist, btw)

Bookmarker's Notes
slow natural fall into a relationship without a big confession, which is so lovely for the post aa4/phoenixs reinstatement era ;_; fav!

Summary
It occurs to Phoenix to be self-conscious about the lack of shirt and the tears that are steadily making their way down his face, dripping from the tip of his nose, but he can’t bring himself to care anymore. “This isn’t about suits,” she says, soft.
“No,” he mumbles, defeated.
Suit shopping, a decade apart. Los Angeles, 2016. London, 2026.

Summary
They eat the tiramisu outside on the patio and Miles brings the radio with them, where voices chat lightly in Italian, sometimes laughing or playing music. Occasionally, Phoenix asks for a translation, and Miles slips in and out of the two languages seamlessly - he doesn’t even care much for what they’re saying, Phoenix just likes to hear him repeat the words back to him. “Pirla,” Miles says, spooning at a layer of cocoa-powder, “it means ‘idiot’ or 'stupid person'.”
“Pirla.” He repeats, in full-blown American. “And what are they saying now?”
“They’re talking about how much they hate their husbands.”
“Jesus. Why does everyone always hate their husbands?”
Phoenix makes dinner. A week spent in Lake Como, 2022.
