7 more 7 year gap Narumitsu fic recs (here's part 2!)

The seven year gap years are some of the richest for Narumitsu fan fiction. Below are seven more of my favourite seven year gap fics, in no particular order. Part 1 is here and part 3 here and yay, there’s now a part 4 {:-) :-)

Enjoy!

1) Mitte by sunsmasher

Rating: M Words: 4,693 Time to read: 10 min

This fic takes a more cynical look at love but oh, the end scene is perfect, and stays with you for a looooong while. I think I've reread it at least 4-5 times. It was one of the fics that motivated me to joining Ao3 as a member, rather than a guest, so I could participate more fully with commenting and Bookmarks. My original book mark said "Still thinking about this weeks later… so brutal but not without hope."

2) Rule of Three by DeiRyuu

Rating: G Words: 1,948 Time to read: 10 min

Taking place during one of the Wright's visits with Edgeworth in Europe, this fic is a wholesome, well written, fambly one shot. ❤️💙💙 Part 1 of NaruMitsu Week 2020 series

~7~

3) Bernstein (liminal) by just_a_wavefunction

Rating: G Words: 3,661 Time to read: 15 min

One of those fics that are so well written and that you crave more at the end. Set in the early years of the 7 year gap, Phoenix and Trucy spend quality time with Miles in Europe (Miles POV).

~7~

4) hop a plane by alyxellipsis

Rating: E Words: 3,790 Time to read: 15 min

Phoenix spontaneously flies to Europe to specifically not talk about his feelings with Miles. Kristophe is mentioned, read the tags. Recommending because it it is so good, but oh, my heart. This one kicked me.

~7~

5) Childswap by theacegrace

Rating: G Words: 11,781 Time to read: 50 min

A beloved Narumitsu ‘classic,' this one feels like it should be on a 'required reading' list for Ace Attorney found family fans. Written for narumitsu week 2019 day 7: domestic

~7~

6) Kindred by timepatches

Rating: G Words: 11, 781 Time to read: 6.5 hours

Pess fic! A case fic! and yes, a Narumitsu fic set during the 7 year gap years. Super charming and a wonderful story to settle into over a weekend. This set me off on a Pess fic binge (hmmm, maybe a future fic rec list :) )

~7~

7) The Same Thing, Self Aware by cosmogyral

Rating: M Words: 15,921 Time to read: 60 min

So well written. Ow my heart, but hold on, cosmogyral has you baby, there is hope. I love the way that Miles is written and while it hurts to see Phoenix so…asshole-ish? Jaded. I love how his path to redemption is so beautifully crafted in this story. It leaves me wanting more.

Also found in Podfic form by blotthis! Beautifully narrated and with excellent art!

And thus concludes part two of my 7 x 7 year gap fic recs. I hope you enjoy them all, and if you want more, please check out part 3 :)

7 year gap Narumitsu fic recs (part 1)

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

Enjoy!

1) Open-eyed, burn the page by just_a_wavefunction

Rating: T Words: 1629 Time to read: 7 min

Fucking GENIUS! All of it. This short fic has plot twists, emotional twists, delicious caginess, frustration, and the calm collected brilliant mind of Miles Edgeworth at work. There is a moment in this work that made me gasp and make a sound out loud, and one simply brilliant last line. What a rush. Just, yeah, Genius.

~7~

2) Make good what has been just so bad by SapphireWine

Rating: G Words: 1,918 Time to read: 10 min

SapphireWine and knows how to build and release tension. This is a short one-shot set during one of Phoenix and Trudy's visits with Miles overseas that captures the moment Phoenix has one of his best 'bad ideas.' ; )

~7~

3) We're a Thousand Miles From Comfort by lilacSkye

Rating: G Words: 1999 Time to read: 10 min

Phoenix flies over to Germany. Miles waits for him. A bubble of warmth held together by a blue coat <3.

Part 5 of the Not perfect is good series.

~7~

4) Turnabout Sorrows by royal_subterfuge (orphan_account)

Rating: M Words: 3098 Time to read: 10 min

Gah!!! So. Damn. Good! One of those fics that I have come back to read it again and again for that rush of dopamine. This one takes place in Germany with Phoenix and Miles finishing off a bottle of wine together. Seriously this might be my all time favourite fic on Ao3 (yeah, yeah, I may have said that about 5 or 10 other fics, each for different reasons). Why the author orphaned their account I will never understand. I hope they some how still feel the fan love sent their way...

~7~

5) The Reasonable Man Test by realizationtime

Rating: T Words: 5,901 Time to read: 20 min

Trucy discovers Phoenix’s diary. I think that in the future, I might make a post about this fic all on its own. It is sensitively and compelling written, and deals with themes of mental health. This fic welcomed me in, then kind of slapped me in the face, but smooched me and hugged me and told me that things were going to be ok, or at least that loving souls will be ok despite the pain.

~7~

6) Like a house on fire by zombiekittiez

Rating: M Words: 19551 Time to read: 80 min

A beautifully crafted Miles and Trucy relationship-centric story. From the description:

"The phone rings and Miles answers, voice sharp and forbidding, jarred from a rare restful sleep.

“Do you have any idea what time it is, Wright?”

“No,” a soft, contrite, feminine voice says over the line. A young voice.

…and that is how Miles Edgeworth finds out about the disbarment."

~7~

7) talk me down by halfdemonvash

Rating: E Words: 69,063 Time to read: 5 hours

This fic just came out in October of last year and it is wonderful. I bookmarked it immediately after the first chapter because of the quality of the writing. It is easily one of the best 7 year gap fics I’ve read. Solid characterization and some nice schexy times. Chapter 2 could be a stand-alone story, it is so solid and beautifully crafted. And BONUS! It's a wonderful case fic too.

~7~

Enjoy and I'll release part 2 later this weekend. I have a feeling this series will be ongoing ;)

Woop! Got to it faster than I thought. Here is part 2 and part 3 and yay, there’s now a part 4 {:-) :-)

₍˄·͈༝·͈˄₎◞♡

People can you give me narumitsu AU ideas to draw? I'd like to make a poll with them and draw the one who wins :3 I can only think of the royal au and no dl-6 au... maybe FF9 AU? But what else is there?

wanted to do something fun...

(I'll make the poll on ko-fi since I need to keep track of bsky's votes as well)

Really beautiful one-shot! Really captures those dreamy ‘noticing’ moments of early love.

okay so this is not the fic i teased a few months ago cause ive been too busy to dedicate the time needed to finish it, but apparently not busy enough to stop me from writing at all

here's a very short 1.9k narumitsu one shot

i promise you that 10k 5+1 thing that i was writing will get finished at some point so help me god

also THANKS CHEL AND SABER FOR BETA READING THIS ONE AS WELL I LOVE YOU GUYS

My piece for the @aa-spring-swap! I love a nice fandom exchange when the time permits it. This gift is for @krowmanticism, who gave the prompt:

this one's totally insane and self indulgent, but i've been thinking about an aa4 ghost trick au with vera misham as the protagonist, who communicates with the living through paintings!! it'd be so cool to see what someone might come up for this. :]]

Vera's a side character I'm really fond of but haven't done anything with before, so I thought this would be fun to work on. It definitely was! More below the cut.

I think there's a lot of good potential here I could probably spend a month straight just jotting down notes for how this would all work narratively and logistically. So I just put together some fun conversational snippets until I ran out of space in tumblr's image limit.

Sprites and backgrounds are here should anyone want to play with these toys themselves.

Working on the background was probably the trickiest part; originally I wanted to try and redraw the drew studios background in the ghost trick style, but I realized pretty quickly I wouldn't be able to finish something like that within the time constraints for this event, so I tried to collage a little something together out of the actual game's assets. It was a bit finnicky but I feel like it came together well! Hope you enjoy!

Yay!! My ‘Mark for Later’ reading list has been repopulated! ;)

masterlist of my personal favorite fanfics: sniperscout + narumitsu flavored

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.

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

There was a meme previously

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.

Do you have a fave unfinished long fic? Please share the link in the comments!

₍˄·͈༝·͈˄₎◞♡ * ੈ✩‧₊˚

I’m playing through turnabout reminiscence rn and everytime I remember that there is a like—at most— 20-year-old Miles Edgeworth running around with his 13-year-old sister demanding to be let into a crime scene. Like. This case is really interesting but every time Edgeworth makes a comment about Franziska’s height or Franziska pretends she understands Miles’ thought process I just remember that they are *so* young.

The maturity difference and the way they just behave like siblings means so much to me. And the way they act around Manfred? I will cry. Edgeworth’s so timid and even Franziska is subdued.

But like the way Callisto reacts is so real because if I saw a 20-year-old guy walking around with a cravat saying things like “do not take me for some naïve novice” I would also laugh at him.

BOOP!

fml we gotta do everything ourselves here

GET BOOPED SUCKEEERS

Haha! Also a great read! Check it out for your free dose of serotonin :)

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

Highly recommend the fic!

p.s. feel free to tag the author here, I don't think I know their tumblr name

hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset

the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years

taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult

at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)

'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65

it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age

it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.

you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.

young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!

there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big

@lungthief, I love how you just get our blorbos ❤️

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!

Feel like getting excited for the future? Check out @evelinessa’s recent WIP posts! ❤️

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! 🥰

See the WIP game here.

It’s time for a ‘this fic will live with me’ kind of

Narumitsu Fic Rec

I read this over two days ago and it is still haunting me.

This one is on FanFiction.net and is just amazing. In the aftermath of the Skye vs State trial, circumstances bring Phoenix and Miles closer. Phoenix comes to terms with his sexuality, and Miles comes to terms with his life. Beautifully written, sweet, wonderful banter and on point characterization, warm and tragic. This one really moved me. I wish I had the skills to illustrate some of the scenes. I will never listen to Aida the same way again
