My Piece For The @aa-spring-swap! I Love A Nice Fandom Exchange When The Time Permits It. This Gift Is

▶ Fanbook project : wip #02

Cover is done!! *slides on the floor* I'll reveal the full picture when I'll start to post the pages.

Btw, for now I can say the story takes place 3 or 4 years after Phoenix's disbarment, I still need to think about the date hmmm.

More details and previews under the cut ⬇️

Speaking of which, I think I figured out how to color the pages with tones like a manga, I always went with just a black and white style, and I've always wanted to try this with a real project. I hope it will look nice 🫣

For now only 2 pages are clean out of 41 *nervous laugh*

Also... as always, I love to put a lot of details on my arts and I went hard with the backgrounds 🥲 I always do this to myself but worth it

And here's Miles trying to deal smoothly with Phoenix's aloof attitude ;_;

See you in the next update! And thank you already for those who are already interested even if I don't reveal much for now 🥺💕

Wait, *is* there a fic for this??!! Inquiring minds want to know!

I started thinking about what a bratfeen fic that fit as well as possible with the characters and the canon would look like and it turned into bratworth and Mia buddy cop investigation. They are the definition of worsties

Narumitsu Fic recs:

Neverending stories edition (yay!)

Life is about the journey, not the destination, right? Some of my most enjoyed reading time has been spent experiencing long, unfinished but satisfying fics. These fics may not be finished, they may leave you wanting more, but in a 'I could eat more because, dang that was tasty’ kind of way. But isn't that kind of a good thing? If you enjoy these, I recommend subscribing to them as a small and powerful act of hope. One day, you may be surprised by an update or additional chapter. It's happened before! {;-)

1, Symbiosis by @dei-ryuu (check out their Ao3 collection link here)

Rating: T Words: 332,023

This au fic is sooo layered, so creative, sooo…. I haven’t come anything like it. It honours the games and characters by following canon touchstones, but through a new lens. Miles, Maya, and oooh Phoenix, are just written so sweetly and charismatically. Great dialogue, great emotional moments, and the foreshadowing and Easter eggs just so generously given! I imagine the authors’ living quarters are wall papered with stickies and red strings cross-crossing to multiple rooms to keep track of them all. Also read if you like cliff hangers. Around chapter 20, the author evolves into the GOAT of cliff hanger crafters. This is the longest bookmark rec I’ve ever written for

(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ REASONS!

2. Saturation by TiedyedTrickster

Rating: G Words: 311, 066

This is a magnum opus of slow burns. Even though it is unfinished, it’s so worth your time to get into. Miles' character growth is really the heart of the story. The author describes the story as 'An exploration that begins with colour, continues with grey-scale, then fluctuates between the two...'. Delicate and lovely yet substantial. Kinda like Miles!

3. (Ya Got) Trouble by Chatvert

Rating: E Words: 303, 655

I wish that this work was complete (we are sitting at 44 of 48 Chapters) but really, it doesn't matter. This fic has some of the *best* Maya lines I've ever come across. The dialogue and banter is SO GOOD! Recommending for those that like sweet, sexy and sensitive portrayals of canon adjacent characters (read the tags for more details).

4. A Brief for the Defense by orphan_account (May have been Ophelia_Writes?)

Rating: T Words: 261, 895

Sadly orphaned, I still think this is a top contender for one of the best fanfics I have ever read. Tender, laugh out loud humour, pain, healing, insightful, thoroughly entertaining…Look at the number of comments, Kudos and Bookmarks! It is so worth your time. Sending lots of love and gratitude to the author, wherever they may be ❤️

5. A Series of Turnabouts by LeFlayART

Rating: E Words: 128, 264

Yeah, ok this is a series so I'm kind of cheating, but I think it still meets my 'over 100,000 words collectively and marked unfinished' criteria for this list. For folks who are driven nuts by incompleteness, go enjoy the first two stories in the series. It's only the last one that is unfinished.

Interesting and sometimes explicit long fic where it's revealed that Miles is related to the Feys. Epic in scale and feels.

6. BONUS Super long Chat Fic!

Virtual, Visual, Viral by TrueImmortality

Rating: M Words: (who knows?! This story is 173 chapters (so far) of phone text screenshots. It took me days to read it.

The feels! Incredible emotional mileage given out of screen captured texts. Some are funny, some infuriating, some tender and all with heart. Woah, also some unexpected ´A-game ´ cliff hangers and drama story arcs. And playlists! File under “came here for the story, left with a massively loaded playlist.”

Amazing.

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! 🥰

Yay!

Preview for you all, my lovelies! ❤️

10 *more* Ace Attorney fics that made me >LOL<

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 (or at the very least, smile hard ;) ). 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

“O ho ho,” she says, actually enunciating each syllable, and he knows he’s fucked. “Miles Gregory Edgeworth. I have been placed on this earth to make you suffer, and I will not relent until I have succeeded in my goal.”

Another gem from a Narumitsu Master, I bookmarked this one when I was only on chapter two and have no regrets.

I am such a huge fan of SapphireWine's work and this fic series illustrates why. Part one is just brilliant and so funny. Triggered genuine, literal LOLs. Peak Larry.

Enjoy!
