Narumitsu /Ace Attorney fic rec: Mini Binge edition!

Have you ever gone on an author binge?

If not, I got a good one lined up for you!!!

All works by by kuraintrain

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

Rating: M, Words: 2,586

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!

Narumitsu Fic Rec!

Do you like magatama-based shenanigans written by a Narumitsu master? Who doesn’t?!

Got the notification this morning and proceeded to devour it like the delicious, sweet and funny one-shot cookie that Kantayra’s fics tend to be.

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

4. The Concept of Desperation by hi_its_ellis

Rating: T Words: 15,223 Read time: 2 hours

“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.

6. A Little Gift From Me To You by SapphireWine

Rating: T Words: 4,725 Read time: 20 mins

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. Read part two of the Burn for You series for the sweet (and slightly salty in a good way) sexy times. #Larry is a very good friend indeed

Enjoy!

~≧◡≦~

If you have a fav fic that made you laugh, please share in the comments <333

YES!!! I can’t fan-person enough about this fic! It’s fucking fantastic. The prose, the pacing, the descriptions, settings and dialogue are just excellent. All the locations are set in real places (like the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center pictures below), which just lends this air of authenticity. The Narumitsu is restrained but so good. I am still thinking about certain scenes days later. 😊👍

Modern AU narumitsu fic!!!

los angeles, japanifornia (or, conflicts of interest) by allicanseeispink I love ace attorney with my whole heart. But sometimes I wish the series was more law focused. This fic by allicanseeispink has humored this wish of mine with a modern au! It shows a more realistic interpretation of the lives of our favorite lawyers! There is alot of legalise here but the author explains it pretty well at the start of each chapter. I honestly found it pretty informative! I definitely recommend reading it! I finished this in like 2 days lol.

2 years after the USA joined WW2, and 2 years before it ended…. The world was going mad but at least he had his fur buddy to make things better 🥲❤️

Man and his dog in a Photo Booth at Grand Central Station, 1943

Love this! I get so excited when I see someone bringing such a unique and strong artistic voice to celebrate our blorbos!

don't worry about your imminent unemployment kitten

The moment from You Ever Been In Love? where Phoenix tries to convince the other guy that Miles isn't dangerous - FINISHED!
