Hello! Not trying to rush you but do you have an idea of when you might be done with your AU? I know you’re waiting until it’s finished to post. Also, do you know which website(s) you’ll put it on? I’m looking forward to it whenever you post!

Hello lettis! I'm flattered you're looking forward to my fanfiction and thank you for asking! I'm not too entirely sure when I'll post it, but I did finish the main story before the epilogue back on Father's Day. I'm in the middle of rereading everything and it's taking a little while since it's nearly 250k words... (ᵕ—ᴗ—)

I'll probably be posting it on my Ao3 once I'm finally ready to share it!

[nutmeg-mayonnaise]

hihihi!! my friend was sending me some of your posts and I just had to look through all of it even tho I haven't finished SoJ yet

I've gotta say, I adore how much thought there is in the aroace queerplatonic polycule situation here, it's so detailed and I adore how it's all come together (I mean, I have no connection to any of that tbh, but I love it regardless)

Never would've thought of seeing them like this EVER tbh, but here we are and it's incredible <333

I don't have any questions for you, sorry, but I just wanted to say that I adore this AU already and I've only seen it today <3

Hello weltato! It's alright that you don't have any questions! I appreciate you taking the time to send me such kind words! ✧˖°. I hope you enjoy the rest of your SoJ playthrough!

Happy Father's Day! ✧˖°.

Last year I drew Phoenix with Gregory so I drew Miles with him this year! Exploring how Miles would raise a child is something that is fun and interesting about the AU for me. (´◡`)

[nutmeg-mayonnaise]

I'm really curious about how Maya handled pregnancy.

Hello friend!

She was a really good sport! On top of wanting children of her own to raise in the Kurain School of Channeling, she was eager to experience using her body to create new life instead of channeling the dead for a change. Despite the hurdles she went through, she was thrilled to get the positive test and took everything in stride. Her experiences are detailed in the fanfiction about this AU I'm still working on, so I don't want to spoil too much!

However, I do have a drawing I can share! ₊˚⊹♡

Thank you for the ask! ✧

Hi! I saw from the previous ask that Mia gets interested in criminal justice in this AU. I was wondering what kind of career she would be interested in - prosecutor, defense, judge, or paralegal?

(personally I would find it really funny if she decided to become a prosecutor lol)

Hello friend!

Truth be told, I'm not really sure! It certainly would be funny if she became a prosecutor, but I think a paralegal might be more her thing!

Miles and Phoenix spend quality time with the girls~ (⁎❛⃘ੌ ᵕ ❛⃘ੌ⁎)

[nutmeg-mayonnaise]

So if Gregory becomes a defense attorney, what do Mia and Mel aspire to become?

Hello friend! Mia and Melusina grew up with the knowledge that they possessed a unique skill with an underlying emphasis that Maya wanted to keep spirit channeling alive for generations to come. Even though Maya stressed that the girls are free to live whatever life they wanted, it still put pressure on Mia, being the oldest of the two and the first in line to take Maya's place as Master. She didn't want to disappoint her mother, but was still envious of her brother for living without that pressure (even if he ended up following in the footsteps of the defense attorneys in the family anyway). She would sneak away from Kurain Village every now and then to see what her brother and father were up to in the city, much to the nerves of her parents.

Melusina on the other hand, showed an interest and sensitivity to both channeling and the spirit world even before her power was officially tested. Although she was occasionally absent from training sessions, it was because she elected to venture into the woods to communicate with the spirits.

Around the time that Mia became of age, it became apparent to just about everyone that being the next master wasn't a good fit for her. She was more interested in criminal justice, seeing it as far more exciting than spirit channeling and Kurain Village affairs. Maya was fully supportive of her eldest daughter's pursuits, and Melusina was happy to be the one to succeed their mother as the next Kurain Master.

Thank you for the ask! ✧

One thing that makes me happy about this AU is thinking about Maya rebuilding her family from the ashes of violence and death.

Happy Mother's Day! ⋆˚✿˖°

Who is the most embarrassing parent and to which kid?

Hello Friend!

Hmm! It might be Phoenix to Gregory. He's quite cryptic when he's his co-counsel and isn't afraid to embarrass him when Gregory gets stumped. He also isn't afraid to make it known that they're father and son to the court.

Maya gets an honorable mention, however. She is not afraid to be a "mom" to her kids, even when they're grown. It especially turns heads when she's in the city with Gregory, where she is still perceived as odd by the general public with her unique attire. Gregory doesn't mind too much, he just wishes people wouldn't stare.

Thanks for the ask! ✧

Sorry if this has been asked before: Do Athena and Apollo have their own families in your timeline?

Hello @tobydanger83! It's quite alright, this one hasn't really been answered exactly! Neither of them are married with children if that's what you mean, but they have their own close bonds that are akin to family. Apollo is often around the Khura'inese royal family as well as his own subordinates and Klavier Gavin, who decided to head overseas to help him and Nahyuta with reforming the legal system.

As for Athena, she and Simon often spend time together outside of their jobs, and Simon lived with Athena for a while until he could get his own place once he was out of prison.

Thank you for the ask!

Does Gumshoe sometimes tell stories to the kids about some of the cases he’s worked on before? (And the times he’s saved Phoenix and Maya)

Hello @alynnl!

He certainly does!

Thank you for the ask!

[nutmeg-mayonnaise]

As someone who’s loved phoenix’s and mayas relationship for a long time, but never really felt a romantic relationship would work or be in character for them (for a few reasons haha), this makes me extremely happy. Especially as an aroace person

Hello friend! I'm glad this makes you happy! (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡ Romance is wonderful and beautiful but not every loving relationship needs it I think. ～⁠♡

[nutmeg-mayonnaise]

Does Gregory help prove his sister's innocence?

Yep! Like father, like son--and like mother, like daughter. (ᵔᗜᵔ*)

[nutmeg-mayonnaise]

You know I’m not typically a fan of these three as a poly couple cause it’s usually played as a sexual thing or something and I’m a hardcore WrightWorth shipper, but I LOVE the ace/aro dynamic these three have and I think it’s just beautiful! I’d love to see a mini comic about Miles learning he’ll be a godfather, and starts really bonding with Maya, like being there when she’s pregnant and Phoenix is just torn between “this is so cute” and “what is my life now”.

Anyways, hope you had a wonderful New Year! Thanks for all the content! :-)

Hello kiarabanetmi! Thank you so much! That means a lot! I hope you had a wonderful new year as well! ...and I hope this past new year was wonderful too! I am so sorry with how late this reply is! ♡

As for this scenario, that sounds so cute and incredibly fun to think about--maybe it could be another au! However, the events of the au's story, Edgeworth took a little bit to be involved with the family directly--but he watched Phoenix and Maya from afar ever since they took the plunge into having children together.

That being said, Edgeworth and Maya did begin to bond as coparents after Mia was born. Edgeworth already started visiting Phoenix somewhat regularly to help take care of Gregory, because Trucy had taken her show on the road and he noticed Phoenix was having a tough time being on his own and with a toddler. Maya doesn't live with Phoenix but she did stay with him for a couple months during her maternity leave when Mia was born. Edgeworth noticed that they were exhausted from taking care of the new baby along with Gregory, so he decided to spend all his time outside of his job to help out during Maya's stay--mostly by keeping Gregory occupied so Phoenix and Maya could focus on the new baby...

I think it's safe to say Phoenix had those "this is so cute" and "what is my life now?" thoughts!

Thank you for the ask! (♡ˊ͈ ꒳ ˋ͈)

Full drawing under the cut!

[nutmeg-mayonnaise]

Does Phoenix spoil his daughters when they come to visit?

In ways! Maya would probably rope him into doing things with the girls they can't really do in Kurain Village, such as taking them to burger places or ramen shops, the beach, malls, things like that! He does visit them in the village on weekends, so besides doing fun city things, he doesn't really treat them any differently whether they visit him or he's visiting them!

Thank you for the ask. ♡

I just love your work!!!! I totally love the kids and the AU.

I have a fic as well (many yet still working as I'm studying and working) but your blog is so adorable and amazing!

Hello ena! Thank you so much, you are very kind! I hope your studies and work go well and that your fic is a source of joy! ♡

[nutmeg-mayonnaise]

I'm guessing Maya had her hands full with Mia?

Absolutely! Mia gave Maya a bit of trouble even before she was born! It's a a bit of a running thing with her. (ᵔᗜᵔ*)

Thank you for the ask!
