Alternate Attorneys

Summary:

A collection of short AU scenes, with some of our favorite lawyers recast into different worlds.

Chapter One: Wrightworth InuYasha AU.
Chapter Two: Miego FMA AU.

Notes:

I was playing a fic game on tumblr where people could send me a set of characters and an AU, and I'd write something short for them. I wound up quite liking the results, so I decided to move them over here. If anyone has an idea for another one they'd like to see, you can always hop on over to my blog and send me an ask. These were great fun and I could happily write some more!

That being said, I'm going to mark this fic as complete, since each chapter is a distinct scene. But if I get another prompt I like, I may still add more chapters to it.

Lastly, I'm putting my thoughts on further castings and general verse changes in the end notes of each chapter, but they aren't really necessary to read if you don't want to; the scenes should stand alone if you're familiar with the source material.

Chapter 1: Wrightworth: InuYasha

Notes:

kaitou-cure-prism12 requested Phoenix/Miles in an InuYasha AU!

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

“Well, I suppose a mere human like you wouldn’t know any better,” Edgeworth said, spreading his arms in a smug gesture, “but in fact-”

Phoenix knew he shouldn’t do it. He still didn’t even understand the power he apparently had, was still reeling from being plunged into such a different reality (well, time) so abruptly - and now the responsibility of questing after the shards of the jewel he’d broken, along with only Edgeworth for company. The hanyou already hated him, and they were stuck traveling together; there was no need to make things even worse by aggravating him even more.

But… he was so annoying. So condescending and rude and always twisting Phoenix’s words against him, and -

“Edgeworth? Hold it.”

It was petty, sure, but the abrupt squawk of distress as the red-robed man suddenly fell face first into the inn’s table - well, that made up for a lot, in Phoenix’s opinion.

Notes:

I initially was thinking of casting people into different roles, but then I got the mental image of Phoenix yelling ‘hold it!’ and Edgeworth doing the freeze-faceplant thing and cracked myself up, so there we are. It actually could work beyond that, though… Franziska would be perfect for Sesshoumaru, Gumshoe might be her (more reluctant) vassal a la Jaken, Gregory Edgeworth would’ve been Izayoi, etc. I think Larry, Maya, and Pearl would join as rough Miroku, Sango, Shippo parallels, though their roles don’t match up as well and it might need some adjusting. (For example, Phoenix should be Mia’s reincarnation, right? But then Maya would rightfully be Kaede, and I’d want her still younger and joining them on their travels so that’d need finagling). Similarly I like the idea of von Karma being the main big bad/Naraku parallel or something but that would remove him as the link between Edgeworth and Franziska. Lots that could still be puzzled over/changed to fit the new characters… but it’d be a fun verse for sure!
