    Summary

    After the day he had he needed something grounding, consistent. Something to push the disasters of the day from his mind.
    The worst offender was that he’d forgotten to put his phone on silent and it went off during court, right in the middle of his cross-examination. It was embarrassing, to say the least. It meant everyone in the room heard his… ringtone…
    Phoenix fought to keep a frown off his face. His ringtone. The Steel Samurai theme that Maya set it to years ago and that Phoenix had neither the heart nor the technological prowess to change. Why was he thinking about it now?
    ~~
    After a long and hard day, Phoenix realizes Miles moves to an awkwardly familiar rhythm.

    Summary

    They'd done huge, enormous, life-changing things together in the name of justice and truth. They’d also bickered endlessly while clothes shopping and choosing movies to watch, filling in the gaps between the big events with countless hours of minutia.

    But in all that time they'd never actually tried dating. Until Phoenix asked a week ago, and now it was tonight.

    Summary

    Phoenix has it all figured out.

    He picks the day with the absolute worst weather forecast possible and waits until evening. He shuffles all of the unfinished paperwork for Iris' trial until it's a complete mess to read through. He stands in front of his mirror and rehearses the pitiful look he perfected during his college days.

    Then he rings Edgeworth's doorbell.

    Summary

    Miles Edgeworth is a vampire.
    Phoenix Wright is a real estate lawyer.
    Franziska von Karma is a vampire who is about to kill a real estate lawyer.
    Manfred von Karma is a vampire who is not particularly about to kill anyone, but he made it all happen, so credit to him for that.

    It unfolds – not quite as expected.

    Summary

    “Do you actually want me to light this? Or is it more of a symbolic gesture?"
    Phoenix grinned at him. "Light it up! All or nothing." He gestured to the table. "All yours."
    Miles reluctantly pulled his hand away, leaning forward. He could feel the couch shaking with Phoenix bouncing next to him. He took the lid off the candle and placed it to the side. The faint scent of vanilla started to fill the air. He wasn't sure what he expected, but he was glad it was pleasant. 
    "Larry picked a good one."
    "Please don't bring him up at the moment."
    "Heh, sorry."

    ~~
    The misunderstandings about Phoenix's birthday gift have been cleared up, so it is now time to put it to use.
