Summary
'Phoenix really wasn't sure why he was so nervous. It was only dinner, after all. Just dinner, in barely an hour, with Miles Edgeworth- the man he'd had bent over the desk in his office, moaning Phoenix's name, earlier in the day.'
Phoenix finally takes Edgeworth out on a date, albeit they're doing things a little out of order here.

Summary
To say it had been a shock to see Phoenix across the courtroom from him that first time would be an understatement. Phoenix was an old, warm memory gone cold with time and von Karma’s influence. But facing that nervous smile, that brightly determined gaze, had cleared some of the fog. It had forced him to remember that sunlight existed. To realize it lived in too-kind eyes.
The gaze Phoenix fixes him with now is as dark and unsettling as a day that begins without dawn.
While Miles has been making his slow way to spring, Phoenix has fallen into winter.
✦
Across the span of seven years, Miles Edgeworth gives Phoenix Wright four envelopes.

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)

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
“We’re back!” He heard Trucy yell from the entryway.
“How did it-” He stopped in his tracks, looking them over.
Hats were on their heads and scarves were bundled around their necks, so all was good there.
Jackets were buttoned. Cheeks were rosy.
Trucy was standing with gloves too large for her and Miles' hands were strikingly bare.
There it is.
"What happened to you guys?"

A day of winter, a missing pair of gloves, and a whole lot of blankets.Bookmarked by softanger
