Forgive me if you've already talked about this one, but what's Lion's Den?

I've actually never talked about this WIP anywhere or to anyone, I believe, so this is the first time! This is a Miles & Kristoph focused fic, with background Krisnix and Mitsunaru. While I don't plan for Phoenix to make an appearance, Kristoph is currently dating him. It's also clear in Miles' POV that he has feelings for Phoenix, which is also something Kristoph is able to gather.

Months before I had even started writing fanfic at all, I came across this set of Miles & Kristoph fanart that really intrigued and inspired me. I imagined Miles was there trying to discreetly investigate Kristoph and both of them trying to get under the other's skin. A lot of being very strategic with what they say and how they say it, I guess.

I didn't really think of it more than that until last year, when I was browsing exchange requests to potentially treat for, and saw someone requesting a Miles & Kristoph focused fic. It reminded me of that fanart, and this time I actually thought of more of a story to form around it.

So the premise is that Miles is trying to secretly investigate Kristoph on his own due to suspicions of him being involved in Phoenix's disbarment. Something where Miles strongly suspects him, but doesn't have proof, and Phoenix won't really listen to his accusations, especially without any proof. Plus Miles and Phoenix are on rocky terms, which isn't helping things, and Phoenix has been trying to shut Miles out a bit.

Miles also has a lot of eyes on him right now (more so than usual), since he's preparing to run or is already in the midst of running for the chief prosecutor position.

He heads to this bar that Kristoph frequents. The location is questionable in itself, since it's suspected to have deep ties to criminal activity. It's the kind of place that Miles wouldn't normally go or would want to be seen there, especially now. This is where the game of pool and that conversation/battle of wits takes place.

I don't have anything solidly written currently (other than a few lines of dialogue that are a bit more spoilery), but have it mostly planned out. It should only be a one shot and less than 5k, by current estimates.

Thanks for asking! 🥰

Happy 7 Year Gapiversary!

On April 19th, 2019, our beloved Phoenix Wright lost his badge and thus began my favourite fanfic era. To celebrate, I did a drawing:

Tada! My very first piece of fan art ever. 🫣😬

And oh yeah, I have obsessively put together a 4 part series of favourite fanfics set in the 7 year gap. You can find those here: https://www.tumblr.com/fatcathappycat/780651246265712640/7-year-gap-narumitsu-fic-recs-part-1

1. Do you trust me?

Rating: M, Words: 13,547

Let’s start off with a classic Narumitsu feels fic. Phoenix and Miles meet up at a conference and just really, really enjoy each other’s company. I was sad when it was over because I wanted more time with them. Read and reread for wonderful banter and feels. Highly recommended.

*featuring the true story of ´The Rat Trials of 1508´

2. Vengeful Spirit

The one where Pearls and Trucy have a sleep over and Pearls accidentally channels Manfred von Karma. In part terrifying and also hilarious. A short read (approx 10 min) and worth your time! I lol’ed more than once!

3. Mistrial

Rating: G, Words: 6,101

I loved ‘Do You Trust Me’ but this fic secures Kuraintrain as a ‘Narumitsu Master’ in my eyes. This one tackles Miles’ absolute <em>frustration </em> with Phoenix and it’s eventual resolution. Come for the ridiculous ‘Phoenix on a tractor scenario,’ stay for the delicious delivery of an angry, frustrated, possessive and yet loving Miles, and an apologetic and wonderfully written emotionally intuitive, tender Phoenix ❤️💙 (and yes, there are many LOLs along the way 😊

4. matrimonium decernere

Rating: E, Words: 16,620

Woo! The one where we get some smut! Kidding (ok, maybe not kidding ;) ) This is a proposal trope fic. However it is written with such sensitivity to the characters, their present and what they went through in the past that while fluffy, it doesn’t get <em>too </em>sweet. It strikes a good balance of fluff, angst, smut and romance with beautifully written moments and dialogue that give us those tasty character development moments we crave. It’s a nice one to round off your Kuraintrain Ace Attorney binge with (at least for now - as I sincerely hope they write more).

Enjoy!

An essay about Iris Hawthorne

So I will preface this by saying that I am not an Iris hater but she never sat right with me after Bridge to the Turnabout. I'm a biased Narumitsu shipper but I do entertain other ships (helllllloooooo Langworth) but I couldn't get behind Feenris for a few reasons.

She's a victim, yes, but she's complicit as an accessory to crimes. We last see her serving time for covering up the murder of Misty Fey but this is just the one that caught up with her. There's been at least two times she was at least privy to Dahlia's crimes (the fake kidnapping plot, Valerie's murder, Diego's poisoning) but the real issue in my mind is that she did nothing after the fact.

Firstly, she could have spoken up after the kidnapping plot but did not. We could give her the benefit of the doubt and say that she didn't know that Dahlia was even alive, or that she could plead ignorance to what actually happened, but this is only the first incidence in a damning thread. Also, she still could have at least passed information along that suggested the kidnapping was not all that it seemed, given that Dahlia had tried to recruit her. And, if she believed Dahlia to be dead, what was stopping her from speaking out?

Secondly, and I'm putting her deception during her relationship with Phoenix to the side here for a second, why didn't she do anything when he was arrested for a murder he didn't commit? It's hard to be generous here because Iris was privy to all of Dahlia's plans (Violet, Fawles, Diego Armando) except the one involving Phoenix, but that's only because Dahlia kept her in the dark intentionally because Iris would have sabotaged it. However, she had to have been aware of what happened in the aftermath. Doug Swallows was murdered and Dahlia was, once again, at the center of it all. It was Mia, not Iris, who saved Phoenix. There's no evidence to suggest Iris was somehow unable to take action because she just went back to Hazakura afterwards. She never provides any excuse as to why she failed Phoenix when he needed her the most.

Now, back to Phoenix, here's where it gets fun. I am going to posit that her falling in love with Phoenix and wanting to protect him from Dahlia is for her benefit, not his. This is also, ironically, the first time Iris does something selfish. She fell in love with him and wouldn't let Dahlia kill him, but that's because for the first time in her life she wanted something. But I can't accept this protectiveness as romance. If she wanted what was best for him, she would have done something, anything either before this point or at the time of his arrest even if it meant getting into trouble. She, once again, chose to obscure the truth and instead did nothing.

Further to that, I can't accept her actions at Bridge to the Turnabout as anything but self-serving. She continued to hide the truth until it was presented to her. It was only at the eleventh hour that she confessed she loved Phoenix all along. It doesn't exactly inspire much confidence in her motives.

Now, all of this actually makes her a more interesting character in my eyes, so again, this isn't an Iris hate essay. She's tricky to get right in a Narumitsu context but here's a shameless plug to my story if you want to see my take on it: https://archiveofourown.org/works/63292576/chapters/162138757
