The seven year gap years are some of the richest for Narumitsu fan fiction. Below are another seven of my favourite seven year gap fics, in no particular order.
Enjoy!

I'm starting the list strong here. Set during the Wright's first visit to Europe, this beautifully written fic is one of my all time favourites. It features strong characterization and dialogue, and a really interesting premise. My only complaint is that it is too short. I've been craving more shared dream stories ever since (Do you know of any? If so, please share in the comments!)

"of course there's a future," edgeworth mutters a little frustratedly, turning away perhaps. "or we would not be here doing this." phoenix's heart flickers on."
This is art. This is prose. This is a word-based painting. The choice of not using capitalization in this story provides a feeling of things ephemeral yet existing outside of time. Feeling like something a little different? Please give this one a chance. It's beautiful.

In keeping in the theme of 'something different,' this stories' use of second person narrative puts you intimately within Phoenix’s shoes. To me, it felt really refreshing and one of the most creative fics I’ve ever read. And it's a good. Recommending it so more people get to be challenged inspired by it!

Every now and then, I come across a hidden gem of a fic. THIS IS ONE OF THEM!!!!! Seriously this was written in 2021!? I keep scrolling up and wondering why the stats aren’t higher! The writing is gorgeous, the dialogue is so well written and the tension so delicately crafted. At the end of that last paragraph, I wanted a cuddle!!! Or to give one to the author or writing and sharing this! I shared this one before in a separate post, it fits this list I would love more people to feel the feels, celebrate and appreciate this work with me :P

A Narumitsu 7 year gap classic that takes place in Germany, shortly after the disbarment. This beautifully written fic has some wonderfully angsty moments and a super smart premise. I've read this one at least 3 times and highly recommended it.

This long fic is recommended for those that like stories of Phoenix slowly emerging out of his hardened shell after the 7year gap. It is written however, from Miles' point of view. The author is skilled and knows how to build tension, laugh out loud humour, and layers of complexity and sweet relief. I lurves it.
Enjoy!

HOO! You know when you come across a fic where people keep smashing their keyboard into gibberish and referencing how they want to lick windows, eat wallpaper etc. etc.? This might be the fic that tempted me into similar behaviour. I keep coming back to this one again and again. And again. There is just something about a cagey Phoenix revealing his strategic mind, or how he and Miles navigate through all the barriers to finally connect... GAH! It just a does something to me. I consider this a Narumitsu classic, written by a Narumitsu master. Yeah, you might of read it before - be kind to yourself and read it again. Highly, highly recommended.

I hope you enjoy them all!

Yay!
you know what, i've sent this list to a couple friends at this point so i might as well make it a post -
(all mostly sfw) (i'll make a separate list of nsfw ones) in no particular order, besides the first few!
Pressure (pushing down on me) - genuinely the best ace attorney fic i've read. between the characterization, expansion of plotbeats, the prose, etc. Pressure elaborates on and reinterprets canon scenes taking place in the main trilogy. Obviously narumitsu flavored. CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS ENOUGH.
Kindred - my FAVORITE, genuinely a comfort fic i've reread at least three times. miles adopts Pess, a borzoi dog tied to a murder case. very narumitsu flavored
Indefensible - also HIGH up there as a favorite, a very robust murder case with fantastic characterization across the board. it's got narumitsu, it's got franmaya, it's got drama. everything you need. there IS a few sex scenes, but the author warns you in the chapter descriptions if thats not your thing.
continued....
take it like a man - light angst centered on phoenix, and suit shopping. it's good
New Digs - really well written oneshot highlighting maya's ptsd, which we don't do enough of as a fandom btw
you still love him (but she does too) - classic case 3-5 hospital scene, very beautifully written
i didn't know how so we took it in turns (to my surprise we found my words) - narumitsu hurt/comfort focused on miles' ptsd
the soul truth (and nothing but the the truth) - FRANMAYA CENTRIC MULTI CHAPTER!!! WOOHOO. a really very good case fic :]
Triple Blind Taste Test - this is a oneshot about fran being autistic and struggling with food texture, which makes Me Personally feel very seen
to know gifts given - miles and pearl bonding, very cute :'D
the patience of little great things - trucy sickfic, miles does the Most to help phoenix take care of her.

I wish gushing over what you love was more popular than hating on what other people love.
Yay!! My ‘Mark for Later’ reading list has been repopulated! ;)
tf2 and pwaa have been my 2 most recent hyperfixations, and i am enamored with both sniperscout and nrmt. here are my personal faves for each! these are all completed works
* - will denote if there's any nsfw contant. be warned.
sniperscout:
-Golden Brown* by Ali_Ker (Alina Kerrin) on AO3; 65k+ words.
Scout gets a crush on Sniper, and he's coping with it while falling in love with him. The tension in this one is incredible, and so is the drama. There's a lot of commentary about queerness that I appreciate here.
-Take Me Out* by Ali_Ker (Alina Kerrin) on AO3; 60k+ words.
This is Golden Brown from Sniper's point of view. It really just makes the original piece stronger, and it's great as a standalone fic too.
-Running Blind by TheTriggeredHappy on AO3; 63k+ words.
WHERE to even start with this one. This one is such a journey to take. Scout loses his vision during an accident at work, and Sniper is tasked with taking care of him. The last chapter is written really beautifully, I can't do it enough justice here.
-Marry You?* by StarlightSinger32 on AO3; 72k+ words.
This one is a 'married in Vegas' fic. It's overall lighthearted, compared to some of the others on the list, and its a very fun read. LOTS of pining.
narumitsu:
-One of Every Color* by Croik on FF.net; 85k+ words.
I simply could not put this one down, I read this entire fic in one sitting because it was THAT entertaining. There's a lot of drama here, and it's about a case that Phoenix takes on and quickly regrets, and it leads to him and Miles establishing a relationship.
-The Turnabout Guard by higherfurtherfaster on AO3; 40k+ words.
This fic feels like something that would happen in universe, it's the perfect mix of silly and seriously good writing. The case that this fic is about seriously had me trying to solve it before it was revealed. Highly recommend especially if you loved Rise From the Ashes.
-Talk Me Down* by halfdemonvash on AO3; 69k+ words.
This. This is the fic that inspired me to keep a list of all of my favorites, because I didn't want to lose them. I cannot praise the writing enough here. This fic expands on what happened during the 7 year gap between Phoenix and Miles, as they repair their relationship, and as Phoenix repairs his life. Good stuff.
-Concluding Arguments by sunsmasher on AO3; 2k+ words.
A one-shot set after the Matt Engarde trial, in which Phoenix and Miles discuss their relationship and what to do. I really love this one because I think their characterizations are just perfect here.
bonus fic:
-not a ship fic but so carry me from these walls, brother of mine! by hydrancheas on AO3 is spectacular, vk siblings will always make me cry 😭
if you like these, then i highly recommend the writers' other works as well! they are all very skilled, highly recommend.
also im plugging my own fan fic just for the hell of it lol
-Personal Space by postmortamore on AO3; 1k+ words.
Phoenix and Miles and the aftermath of a concert.
mine isnt nearly as long nor did i put in anywhere near the same amount of work as these other authors, but its short n sweet n worth a quick read <3
if you read any of these, i'd love to hear your thoughts!! and if you have any recommendations, i'd love to hear them!! happy reading, friends.
Steps near Gare du Est, Paris. December 2024 I finaly got the time to draw these steps, after passing them over the years. I was walking up and down them looking for the best place to stop to sketch. As I sat down, I noticed the annual event of losing my glove had occured and I had to sketch with a cold hand.
So freakin’ good! A wonderfully written character study and narrative set around the Investigations 2 era, where Miles comes to realize some important things about himself. Highly recommended.
ಠ‿ಠ 👍
His troubles truly started, Miles reflected, when he decided to live - because with life came desire, and Miles's desires were troublesome indeed.
in which miles edgeworth fights tooth and nail against his own feelings.
now finished! read chapter 3, or start from the beginning.
