i forgot about unnecessary feelings day ;—; but funnily enough i updated this fic a few days ago with those feelings sprouting in action, at last, which i also forgot to post about.

👑 tender miles edgeworth!!!!

screenshot of an excerpt from Chapter 6 of an ace attorney narumitsu fanfic:

"Breathe," Miles says, his tone low and deliberate.
Phoenix manages a breath that turns into a weak laugh. "You sound like Franziska."
"Franziska would have shouted." Miles's mouth curves, faint and reluctant.
"I'm trying to be gentle."
"That's new," Phoenix mutters.
Miles's fingers twitch. "Do you always mock people who keep you upright?"
Phoenix shakes his head slightly, his voice barely above a whisper. "You're shaking."
"So are you," Miles replies, almost too quickly. The admission hangs between them, startling in its honesty.
For a heartbeat, neither of them moves. The fire cracks somewhere behind them, the only sound in the stillness.

screenshot of an excerpt from Chapter 6 of an ace attorney narumitsu fanfic:

After she leaves, Miles lingers at the window again, the tension between them a quiet constant. He doesn't apologise again, not directly, but his actions speak louder than any confession. He ensures the physicians bring Phoenix the best medicine. He replaces the wilted lilies with fresh ones. He orders the fire lit before dusk.
It is careful, deliberate affection, the kind of love that does not yet know how to name itself.
"Are you warm enough?" he asks.
Phoenix nods, though the gesture cost him effort.
"You don't have to hover."
"Someone should," Miles says. "You have a talent for pretending you're fine until you collapse."
Phoenix manages a weak smile. "Old habits."
Miles looks away, the firelight catching in his eyes.
"You never did learn when to stop."
Something unspoken stretches between them - an old argument, worn down to tenderness.
"I could say the same for you," Phoenix murmurs.
That earns him a small huff of breath, not quite laughter, but close.

life has been so busy but 2 more days of work and then flying back to asia for a short stint of rest!!

in the meantime, here’s my cat being unsure about being indoors or out because of the weather, much like all of us here 🐈

chapter 5 was up a few days ago oops but here are some of my favourite bits about it:

👑 phoenix & franziska’s friendship
👑 mia fey haunting the narrative but in this au

#aceattorney #narumitsu #nrmt #wrightworth

archiveofourown.org/works/613602...

excerpt from ace attorney narumitsu fanfic: shadows of the crown (chapter 5):

She shifts slightly, but she doesn't argue. She doesn't leave, either. She stays beside him, steady as a drawn sword. Not offering comfort, not pretending to. But staying - that, Phoenix has come to understand, is her language for care. Unlike the prince.
After a moment, she speaks again, her tone lower.
"You remember that winter, don't you? Your first here."
He nods. He doesn't need to say anything.
"You looked like a ghost," she continues. "Half-frozen in the library. No fire lit. No one sent to help."
"Except you," Phoenix murmurs.
Franziska snorts. "Don't remind me. I threw a shawl at your head."
"Softest shawl I've ever worn," he says.
She doesn't smile, but something in her expression shifts, just a little. "Don't let them make you small, Phoenix. Not him. Not any of them."
He swallows. "Too late for that."
"Then find a way back."
#franziskavonkarma

excerpt from ace attorney narumitsu fanfic: shadows of the crown (chapter 5):

Mia Fey had taken him in when he had nowhere else to go.
He had arrived at the Sanctum with no name worth repeating, a bruised pride and little else. His past was a crumbling village and his future, uncertain. He was barely twenty, tired of begging for work and colder than he'd ever admit. The priestesses had eyed him with quiet suspicion - an outsider, a man, a stray wandering through sacred grounds - but Mia had only smiled.
"Every ember has the potential to spark again," she had said, guiding him through the arched stone halls like he belonged there.
She had offered him warmth. A place to rest. Work, when his hands needed something to hold besides regret.
But more than that, Mia had seen something in him.
Even when he could not see it himself.
She had taught him how to speak with purpose, how to hold the gaze of men who thought themselves greater, how to stand straight in rooms designed to make him small.
"Truth matters," she used to say, her voice soft but resolute. "Even when no one else believes it does.
Especially then."
