Make Miles Edgeworth and Phoenix Wright an official couple

Knowing that there are over 10,000 Wrightworth/Naturumitsu ship fics alone on Ao3, I’m surprised that it’s taken this petition so long to hit goal!

Am I missing something?

10 Ace Attorney fics that made me >LOL<

(part 1)

Reading AA fanfics on Ao3 has been my 'go to' choice for self-care this past year. The following are works that literally made me either snort, giggle, cackle or laugh out loud. As usual, these are in no particular order, because creating a sense of order in life is an illusion, and fics are to be enjoyed and celebrated, not ranked ;p

1. Vocal Exercises by SapphireWine

Rating: G Words: 4,756 Read time: 20 mins

Phoenix has a secret talent!! I laughed out loud so hard at this story's climax, I think I hurt myself (the best kind of hurt ;) ). And like so many of SapphireWine's fics, the story is so sweet (new love getting to know each other) and crisp (that snappy dialogue!) and savory (mmmmm tasty Narumitsu). I wrote in my bookmark that this fic is a sweet little ol’ onion if onions were like apples maybe, and covered in feelings.

~≧◡≦~

2. Eureka Moment by Kantayra

Rating: T Words: 673 Read time: 5 mins

"Miles discovers that, to his embarrassment, he is just as much of a total dork in bed as he is in everything else." Ahem, ngl, this is now firmly established in my head canon. Kantayra is one of my 'go to' Narumitsu Master authors. They specialize in short, sharp and hilarious ficlets, and I highly recommend all their work. This author will show up again in my fic recs, guaranteed.

~≧◡≦~

3. A Collective Groan by Kantayra

Rating: E Words: 6,321 Read time: 30 min

"Miles prided himself on his self-control, or at least he would if only Phoenix would stop being so incurably Phoenix." OOP! See! I was (w)right, here is another one by Kantayra. In addition to being a Narumitsu Master, they are a freaking Pun Master! OMG the PUNS!!!! And the fact these are Mile’s weakness! I am so dang happy I found this author and this fic in particular. I'm laughing even as I'm typing this, remembering some of them.

~≧◡≦~

4. The Crushing Weight of Inevitability by Kantayra

Rating: E Words: 6,321 Read time: 30 min

And sorry, I can't help but slip in yet another gem by Kantayra! (Honestly, I might have to do a dedicated post on them in the future). "How Edgeworth applies for a job: smugly, confidently, remorselessly, and with plenty of snark." In the form of a heavily cited resume, this is another absolutely fantastic ‘pun fic’ from this fabulous creator.

~≧◡≦~

5. Worse than we could have imagined (2 part series) by hi_its_ellis

Rating: T Words: 5,813 Read time: 25 min

Our favourite idiots being, well, idiots. By yes, another one of the authors I consider a 'Narumitsu Master.' In the author's notes, they say "I intended this to be Really Soft and it turned out Really Stupid" I happen to love soft and stupid so there we go... but it also has heart, so there we go twice.

~≧◡≦~

6. Texts & Turnabouts by YanagiKana

Rating: T Words: 40K? Read time: 3 hours (?)

I love chat fics. They are such a fun character vehicle. This one is missing a few graphics but still really, really enjoyable and I hope this talented author comes back and gives us more. :)

~≧◡≦~

7. It Would Feel So Good To Make You Mine by hi_its_ellis, lowbatteryhealth

Rating: T Words: 54,615 Read time: 4 hours

I am the 590th bookmark for this epic tale from two of the most diabolically minded pair of Narumitsu Masters in the fandom, celebrating the most epic game of Gay Chicken ™️ ❤️🐔💙 Read and enjoy, you won’t be disappointed! I would also file this one under 'required reading for Narumitsu fanon'

~≧◡≦~

8. A Beginner's Guide on How Not to Write Steel Samurai Fanfiction by chameleonwrites

Rating: T Words: 16,058 Read time: 65 mins

"Verity Baytum, a court stenographer, has a secret passion for writing Steel Samurai fanfiction based around the pairing Magisteel. When she finds an unlikely source of inspiration during her job, she can't help but watch court proceedings in search of further lines that fit her fics."

"Yaaay!!!! Sooo much fun, just like the description implies! Very Ao3 and discord community vibes. Verity is a really likeable and charismatic Original Character and I would love to read more about her! - If you are craving more, I suggest a chaser of Kantayra's 'Court(ing) Record' ;)

9. Twelfth night by zombiekittiez for Gheyn

Rating: T Words: 5,156 Read time: 20 mins

“Phoenix hand feeds him a berry, sweet and sun-warmed. Also, slightly crunchy from the sandy soil. Resigned, Miles chews and swallows. Three days in and he is already eating dirt.” Time-loop au comedy hijinks by another one of my 'go to' authors.

~≧◡≦~

10. Certifiably Yours (2 part series) by Gheyn

Rating: T Words: 5,156 Read time: 20 mins

If you like fics that reference the language of flowers, or how meticulous Miles is, this fic is for you. And I'm finishing strong here, folks. This 2-part series is LOL perfect! Tears! TEARS!! In my eyes from laughing so hard. So sweet! So romantic! So silly! So good. Hiiiiighly recommended. ❤️💙

~≧◡≦~

Sometimes I think about the fact that Phoenix unhesitatingly demolished a door right in front of Edgeworth in Justice For All

Yay! I love a good Narumitsu fic rec list!

Narumitsu Fanfics that YOU may not have heard about! (You won’t believe #5!!)

…joke title aside… I wanted to share a few NaruMitsu fanfictions that are slightly lesser known! I love Legal Partners as much as the next fan, but I thought it would be a great idea to share some new works to put onto your bookmarks bar.

stories with NSFW content are marked with ‘*’

One-Shots

Postscript by CantFaketheFunk and Aria/Raelle (Court Records Forums) A gorgeous, simple slice-of-life story revolving Edgeworth and Wright learning a little bit more about what they mean to each other, all thanks to a double date with Larry… and Iris? Established Narumitsu, past Iris/Phoenix is an important plotpoint, and not-really Larry/Iris. Characterisation is well-done.

Your Secret Admirer by snorkellingfish (FFnet) Very cute, short letterfic in which Edgeworth writes love letters to Wright.

The Correct Way by VIII of XIII (FFnet) * (mostly just suggestive content but marking just in case) Humour fic in which Wright rejects Edgeworth. He demands to know why, and the answer isn’t what he was expecting.

Where The Heart Is by hanae0711 (LJ) With an introspective, calmly-paced writing style, the writer captures a family dynamic between Wright, Trucy, and Edgeworth. 

That Other Kind of Dance by Ellcrys (FFnet) Also known as “pantswarrior” on AO3, this user has written well-known Narumitsu pieces such as Surviving You and Trucy’s Daddy. Not everything is written by this person is on AO3, and some may not be aware of the existence of their other pieces. 

Good Company by Northernflicker (AO3) If you’re in need of a sad, bittersweet fanfic, here’s a short NaruMitsu AU that’ll satisfy. In a modern setting, Edgeworth copes with regret over the things he should have said.

Change by kiyala (AO3) Iris struggles to accept that things change, and Edgeworth needs to realise that things don’t have to.

Night Lights by Anon2015 (AO3) Wright thought things were just fine as is, until he bore witness to another world where things were better than fine.

Sorry Doesn’t Cut It (When You Don’t Need To Say It) by GahoolianGirl (AO3) Canon divergent Trucy and Wright fic, plotpoint Narumitsu. Wright feels remorse over the things he couldn’t have given to his daughter. She thinks he gave enough.

The Stars Above by Tarma_Hartley (AO3) Good old Regency-era!NaruMitsu. 

Simple by VickyVicarious (AO3) A simple fic that shows how even though certain things are complicated for Wright and Edgeworth, one thing certainly isn’t.

I, In the Art of the Compromise by Quitebrilliantindeed (AO3) Franziska-centric. Who knew how much buried emotions could surface upon hearing the news of Wright and Edgeworth’s engagement?

The Answer is Just Like Heaven by Lyrical Rawr (FFnet) In which Larry drags Edgeworth to a bar, and he’s just a little slow to catch on the exact nature of the relationship his two childhood friends have.

the words unspoken, we’ll be there soon by jonphaedrus (AO3) Mountaineering canon-deviation. Wright and Edgeworth meet again, not as attorneys, but as mountain climbers, braving the elements.

Freefall by estelraca (AO3) Being together with Wright is wonderful. Now, if only Edgeworth could share this fact without feeling fearful.

Keeping in Character by fuzzybees (AO3) Edgeworth and Trucy share a phone call.

Thoughts about the ‘Demon Prosecutor’ & ‘That Man’ by nerdowl (AO3) Poem fic that develops alongside Wright and Edgeworth’s thoughts about each other.

Periphrasis by EvilEkat (AO3) Four birds that Edgeworth comes to associate with Wright, aside from the obvious one.

The Way to a Man’s Heart by SlowQuotesQuill (AO3) The universally best ingredient is…

Lux by organicgold (AO3) The use of diction and a motif of light in this story brings a comfortable realisation of feelings.

The Turning of the Tides by altairattorney (AO3) Introspective writing in Edgeworth’s point of view. Conveys very heavy emotion and resolution.

and down came the rain by The Soup (FFnet) Ambiguous timeline. Wright and Edgeworth slowly come to realise what has been there all along.

Incomplete or Ongoing

Call Me by Erstaz Writer (FFnet) - incomplete Anything by this writer is amazing. I selected this one particularly because of this author’s very insightful portrayal of Edgeworth’s character. The plot is as vanilla fanfic as you can get: main characters get drunk, share a drunken kiss and awkward conversations, both of them remember the next day but never talk about it; rather, it is the characters that truly give this story life.

My Oath, My Vendetta, My Vow by Cupcakitee (AO3) - ongoing In an alternate universe, the ghost of Gregory Edgeworth follows his son, unable to do anything about his transformation into the “Demon Prosecutor,” until Maya reveals his presence thanks to her spiritual powers. Slow-burn NaruMitsu in the background.

Struggling Against Gravity by musouka and Aria/Raelle (AO3) - ongoing A favourite with those who remember the Objection! Archive. To those who have not been in the fandom that long ago, this work is a story that explores the relationships Wright has with the important people in his life: Edgeworth and Maya. He learns more about himself and others in the wake of accompanying his prosecutor friend to dinner one night.

1001 Times by Pomelofangirl (AO3) - ongoing Written in a very unique style, and organised in even more so. This AU involves time traveling Wright and mistakes. It also has an immortal entity Edgeworth and fixing them.

Apollo of Notre Dame by Farris (AO3) - ongoing The Hunchback of Notre Dame AU, with a few twists! If you’re looking for an AU to follow until it’s complete, let Farris be your guide. (Don’t let the Apollo/Phoenix tag bother you, as per the original story, the endgame should be Miles/Phoenix.)

Our Thoughts Were Wicked by Design by VivaRocksteady (AO3) - ongoing The writing style of this work pairs very fittingly with the AU that takes place in an Ancient Rome setting. It’s a loose retelling of the trilogy series.

The Ghost of Edgeworth Manor by FyreBird_risefromtheashes (AO3) - incomplete A manor, a family of six, and a ghost who haunts the manor. This family quickly figures out that the one most haunted by the past is the ghost himself.

Wright and Prejudice by lalabnf (AO3) - ongoing? Pride and Prejudice AU. Wright is a barrister who just wants a case, but when company arrives from Germany, they bring along an old friend.

Correspondence by ingthing (AO3) - incomplete Victorian AU. A soldier and a law student meet at a party.

Completed

One of Every Color by Croik (FFnet) - 85k * I recommend all of this user’s Ace Attorney fanfics, but this one stands out as The NaruMitsu fic they’ve written. A casefic in which Wright must come to terms with a difficult client and his growing feelings for Edgeworth.

And Baby Makes Six by withpractice_ff (AO3) - 21k * Set in a time where the true identity of Apollo and Trucy is revealed, Wright lives with Thalassa and her children. One frustrating night, he ends up sleeping with Thalassa and gets her pregnant despite being in a relationship with Edgeworth. Everybody must now figure out how to deal with this complicated situation.

King of Hearts by Pearls1975 (AO3) - 6k Mildly canon-divergent. Edgeworth and Wright had gotten engaged at some point, but the incident leading to the seven-year gap leaves them separated. This doesn’t change the fact that they remain dear to each other’s hearts.

Locked Hearts and Hidden Voices by flybykeylimepie (AO3) - 11k This writer pulls off the second-person narrative well in this piece. While staying in Germany with Edgeworth, Wright meets a girl named Athena Cykes, who is able to look into his heart. Using her psychological abilities as a medium, this story gives an insightful perspective into Wright’s mind while he was disbarred.

Birthday Family Dinner by InvaderHam (AO3) - 7k Celebrating a birthday is best done with loved ones, and there is nothing short of beloved friends and family with Wright and Edgeworth.

Congratulations by (orphan_account) (AO3) - 4k Hurt/comfort fic. Edgeworth experiences just a fraction of what Kristoph is capable of.

Cold Harbor by Tarma_Hartley (AO3) - 4k A touching Civil War Narumitsu AU. Need I say any more? …actually yeah, have some comics of this story too.

Looming Truths by AsunderWolf (AO3) - 356k * The sheer size of this piece might scare some readers, but if you’re into long stories, it’s a must-read. Weaving in more in-depth character motives, incredible backstories, and an underlying plot that explores darker themes than Capcom allows, this story attempts to fill in the gaps of the unexplored details we were left puzzled over in canon. Every character is thoughtfully portrayed, leaving no doubt in this writer’s characterisation. There is so much in here, so just give it a go.

Phoenix’s Inferno by prospectkiss (AO3) - 9k Inspired by Dante’s Divine Comedy, the end result is an epic-style poem that has a very creative use of the Seven Deadly Sins and Heavenly Virtues. Did I mention there is a classic Wright-way turnabout?

The Glass of Paradise by gogollescent (AO3) 18k Great dialogue, great use of diction and syntax, and Wright’s inner-voice is spot on. Though this is predominantly a character study, it has all the elements that make up a narrative.

Honourable Mentions (not NaruMitsu, but highly recommended) 

The Realm by Farris (AO3) - ongoing Very creative use of a psychological/spiritual setting in order to share a narrative of characters confronting their internal conflicts. There are mentions of one-sided Iris/Phoenix on Iris’ part, but also includes some very subtle Edgeworth/Wright scenes.

Follow the Fool by CantFaketheFunk (FFnet) - complete A lovely FranDrian fanfiction that takes place after 2-4/Engarde case. Explores the dynamic both of these characters have with each other in order to overcome their past shadows.

Allowances by Lerayl (FFnet) Wright and Franziska wait for Edgeworth to return overseas in the airport. Ambiguous/implied NaruMitsu.

Questions for friendsssss!

1) What's your favorite Ghibli movie?

2) What was your favorite childhood book series?

3) What is your dream pet?

4) What's your #1 bucket list travel destination?

5) Where would you rather spend a week - cabin in the woods or beach house?

Oo! Sure, I’ll play!

1) this is a hard choice! Currently it’s probably Howl’s Moving Castle due to nice fambly moments, interesting, flawed-in-good-way characters and overall gorgeousness.

2) I loved Gerald Durrell’s My Family and Other Animals and sequels, the ‘Little House’ and ‘Dragonriders of Pern’ series… I also enjoyed Potter and I’m so mad at JKR for ruining her legacy.

3) A talking fat cat of course (though a Ditto would be pretty squish too of course ;) )

4) Japan at the moment, though I would also love to go on a Nordic country and visit some fjords and travel by excellent, clean fast trains along water and through mountains

5) I am lucky to live in a part of the world where my cabin in the woods can be just a short walk to a beautiful cold ocean with a brilliantly coloured pebbles beach. I’m loving and living the dream of both worlds!

And thus we find that poor FatCatHappyCat’s person (me) is someone who doesn’t like to pick one thing haha!

Bonus related fun facts: Fat Cat’s real name is Monty. He is my muse, coworker and fur buddy. His fuel gauge is permanently broken.

Thank you for inviting me to play TC! That was fun ! ₍˄·͈༝·͈˄₎ ੭ ♡

“And you know I never believed in that.” Edgeworth says, and his voice is soft enough to bruise.

A story about how Athena meets the Wrights, Edgeworth finally decides to have a conversation about feelings, and Phoenix gets his groove back.

Bookmarker’s Tags: top tier fic, 7 year gap goodness, Seven Year Gap (Gyakuten Saiban)

Bookmarker’s Notes:

Beautifully written with empathy for our beloved characters, this fic is a freakin’ hidden gem. It takes place over a summer earlier in the 7yr gap and contains the origin story of how Phoenix meets Athena. It has fantastic and smart dialogue written with humour and savvy. I fell in love a couple of times over the 4 chapters with the characters and the writer’s voice. Highly recommended.

This animator is so talented ❤️🥹

I'm still not okay after reading the Playlist for When Your Boyfriend Stops Breathing by @sunsetplums, still listening to the playlist too ˙◠˙ p.s. Birb’s name is Mango, she used to live with the fic’s author but passed away just a couple days ago so now Jayce is looking after her. Faint music on the bg is My děti ze stanice Bullerbyn by Květy
