Summary
You stare up at the gently swaying branches, fractals of light filtering through the space between the canopy, and breathe.
The world breathes with you, in and out, a soft breeze sweeping across the clearing. Grass tickles the back of your neck; you can feel the uncomfortable press of gnarled roots against your spine, and you swear beneath the bark you can feel a heartbeat, a steady thrumming that speaks of life.
It’s all so alive. It’s not the same fabricated, carefully designed set you stood on hours before. There is no stage anymore. The act is over. It’s not haunted by fragments of things left behind in past loops, in your memories, or in other pieces of you torn away from their home and tethered here by the stars. It’s no longer broken, failing, rotting away with the sickening smell of burnt sugar.
It’s. Alive.
… You’re alive.
The air is crisp, the birds cry out, the tree above you waves gently in the wind, and you are alive.

In which I finally give Siffrin the recovery arc they truly deserve. And by that, I mean a messy one.

Summary
Miles Edgeworth writes a note and leaves. He does not return for a year.
The story of where he goes, and what he does.

It’s a great relief to talk to people and have them not care about what he says. It’s a relief to walk across the grey unforgiving shore and stumble on the rocks. It’s a relief to find himself in this liminal town. It has trapped him in its seasonal existence.Series

This fic tastes like salt and ache and it’s delicious. Waiter, waiter! More mentally-unwell Edgeworth, please!

Summary
It had started fairly innocuously. A visit back to Los Angeles for a legal conference. An email, to an old address she barely checked anymore, from a girl she remembered a little too well. A subpar oat milk cappuccino in an over-air-conditioned cafe, and Maya Fey across the table from her, going on about something that foolish man had said while she devoured a cupcake with enthusiasm bordering on obscene.
Franziska can't remember what she had been saying. She can remember how Maya had had a small bit of vanilla frosting on her lip. She can remember reaching across the table to smudge it away with her thumb.
What, exactly, had made her take such a step - Franziska does not know. It doesn't really matter. The frosting had been a promise.
And Franziska von Karma does not make empty promises.

Summary
“I’m going to make this good for you,” Phoenix says, an announcement, a statement of fact, like he’s in court, throwing out an accusation like it's bygone, whether he has any evidence to back it up or not.
