Miles Edgeworth x Phoenix Wright - Advice with a Side of Heckling

Prompt Given - Write me a fanfiction about Miles Edgeworth from Ace Attorney asking Maya Fey for advice as to how to ask out Phoenix, and as he's talking with Maya his sister Franziska von Karma is heckling him from the corner of the room

Fic Generated -

Miles Edgeworth, the renowned prosecutor, stood in his office, nervously fidgeting with his cravat. He had decided that it was finally time to take the plunge and ask Phoenix Wright, his long-time rival and secret love, on a date. However, the task seemed daunting, and he needed some advice.

Taking a deep breath, Miles called Maya Fey, the spirit medium and close friend of Phoenix, to his office. He hoped that Maya's insights into Phoenix's mind might guide him in his pursuit of romance. Moments later, Maya burst through the door, her energetic aura filling the room.

"Hey, Edgeworth! What's up?" Maya exclaimed, her eyes twinkling with curiosity.

Miles cleared his throat, trying to steady his nerves. "Maya, I need your help. I want to ask Phoenix… Mr. Wright… out on a date. But I don't know where to begin."

Maya's face lit up with excitement, and she plopped herself down in a nearby chair, ready to dispense her wisdom. However, as Miles began pouring out his feelings, he noticed a familiar voice sneering in the corner.

"Well, well, if it isn't my dear, weakling little brother seeking advice on romance," came the mocking voice of Franziska von Karma, Miles's formidable younger sister. She leaned against the wall, a smirk playing on her lips.

Miles sighed, knowing that Franziska wouldn't pass up an opportunity to taunt him. Ignoring her presence as best he could, he turned his attention back to Maya, who was listening intently.

"Maya, how do you think I should approach this? I don't want to appear too forward or… well, awkward," Miles admitted, his cheeks tinged with a slight blush.

Maya's eyes twinkled mischievously. "Well, you could try the 'unexpected confession' method! Catch him off guard and spill your heart out! That's how it works in romance novels, right?"

Miles pondered Maya's suggestion, his brow furrowing. "I'm not sure if that would work in our case. Phoenix might find it overwhelming, given our history."

At that moment, Franziska couldn't resist chiming in. "Oh, Miles, you always were such a bumbling fool when it came to matters of the heart. Why not simply send him a formal invitation? A prosecutor like you should know the importance of presenting yourself with dignity."

Miles gritted his teeth, irritated by his sister's remarks. He turned back to Maya, seeking a more practical solution. "Maya, what about a casual outing, like a friendly dinner? Something low-pressure that could lead to more."

Maya's eyes gleamed with approval. "That sounds perfect, Edgeworth! Just be yourself and let things unfold naturally. Phoenix will appreciate your honesty and sincerity."

As Miles absorbed Maya's advice, he couldn't help but feel a newfound determination. Franziska's heckling, though irritating, served as a reminder of his own resilience. He would not let her words deter him from pursuing happiness.

With gratitude, Miles thanked Maya for her invaluable insight. Maya beamed at him, offering words of encouragement as she headed for the door. "Good luck, Edgeworth! I'm sure everything will work out. And don't worry about Franziska. Love makes us all a little crazy sometimes!"

As the door closed behind Maya, Miles took a moment to compose himself. He knew that pursuing a relationship with Phoenix would require patience, vulnerability, and a willingness to face his own fears. But armed with Maya's advice and his own determination, Miles was ready to take the first step towards love.

And as for Franziska's heckling, well, he would simply have to prove her wrong. With a resolute expression, Miles strode out of his office, ready to embark on a journey that would test his heart, his resolve, and ultimately, his capacity for love.

they are having a samuraiverse dicussion

[milimeters-morales]

Pavitr definitely told his Maya Aunty about Miles’s embarrassing mistake btw trust me

[oliveo-il]

Wright and Edgeworth got no work done bc Phoenix was preoccupied with pondering the details of his clients completely unrelated divorce (Phoenix and Maya gossip like teenage girls you can’t change my mind)

[l-i-n-u-s-k-a]

I love the difference in their dynamics

[yellowistheraddest]

they are watching a Steel Samurai spin-off and its raw garbage.

[the-judicial-assistants-notebook]

You know, I think what really bugs me about the "Dadworth" dynamic applied to Kay and Edgeworth's relationship is that it usually makes Kay out to be this hyperactive, slight problem child (in the 'stealing and pranking' sense rather than the 'moody and abrasive' sense), occasionally with deep-rooted daddy issues like Edgeworth has, when that's... the opposite of her character.

(This post got away from me, so TL;DR: Kay is a quick-witted and independent young woman who has worked very hard to be both emotionally and practically intelligent enough to be seen as a legitimate successor to her father's legacy. Making her out to be the traits mentioned above, so she functions as Edgeworth's daughter rather than his investigative partner and equal, undermines her character and semi-conflates her with Maya [the deep-rooted issues bit]. Also I don't like it wksgskaj)

The thing about Kay is that she's not actually in the series as much as it feels like she is, which makes it easy for her character to be altered to suit the needs of the story (which I think happens in The Forgotten Turnabout, but I won't talk about that here). She turns up in two cases as herself in AAI (as in, teenager Kay whom we're most familiar with) and shares her role with Gumshoe, Ema and Franziska when she does, lessening her appearances even further. Nevertheless, there are still concrete elements to her personality that we're made aware of right from the beginning, and the first major one which I feel gets overlooked in favour of her hyperactive characterisation is this:

Kay is very, very sharp.

In terms of mainline assistants, I'd consider her the sharpest of all (maybe after Trucy? But I don't remember enough of AJ to comment on that). Yes, she's shown to be reckless and impulsive, but, when it comes to actual investigating and reasoning, she is solid. With Nick and Maya, you sometimes get the impression that they're both fumbling along until Phoenix catches on (most of the time with Maya's usually a little accidental help, and he still has to explain things to her near every time [not Maya's fault. Following Phoenix's reasoning is like being on a rollercoaster in a minecart]), but Kay is very rarely like that with Edgeworth. Within minutes of meeting him, she can predict what he's going to say (or 'steal his lines', as the game puts it), and there are several moments after he uses Logic and is about to explain what he's connected where Kay interrupts with the correct conclusion herself:

Edgeworth: A second Blue Badger that shouldn't exist... Clearly, the true identity of the person underneath is...

Kay: Oh, I know! It's one of the kidnappers, right!?

There's even a point where she tells him off for overexplaining things to her:

Kay: Yeesh, I told you I got it! Do you feel the need to explain everything!?

And, near the end of their first case together, he acknowledges that's she's generally quite quick:

Kay: OK, what should I re-create first?

Edgeworth: ...You haven't figured it out yet?

Kay: Heh, maybe I have, and maybe I haven't.

Even if you don't take these points into consideration, the fact that she comes up with a new way to use Little Thief, and knows how to use it at all actually, shows you that she's a really intelligent girl! Continuing on a bit from the point I made earlier about her being brash, Kay may be reckless, but she isn't irresponsible. Whenever she rushes into situations, she doesn't expect other people to come save her; she's quite assured that she can and will get herself out of them on her own, and, if she needs help, she asks for it in advance. She treats Edgeworth less like her guardian and more like her investigative partner:

Kay: I didn't get permission to enter Allebahst... so we're going to go gather whatever info we can over on the Babahlese side, OK!?

Edgeworth: Alright, I'm counting on you two.

Kay: Right, and I'm counting on you and Ms. von Karma to sniff out clues in Allebahst!

...

Edgeworth: A number of pieces connect in a very complicated way in this case... It's almost enough to make one completely mentally exhausted.

Kay: Let's not over-complicate matters, OK, Mr. Edgeworth? We've been so focused, like a laser, on only what seems strange and out of place... it's no wonder nothing's clicked and we haven't unlocked anything yet. But, if we think things through calmly, the answer should come to us!

There's an independence to her proactiveness that kind of forces Edgeworth to meet her on equal grounds, and this too is an element that gets lost when the Dadworth dynamic comes in because it involves making Edgeworth responsible -- or feel responsible -- for her actions and general wellbeing when Kay has never expected nor wanted that. She does things on her own terms, and she walks the path she's chosen by herself:

Edgeworth: Preposterous! On what grounds do you suspect her of such a thing!?

Shih-na: The fact that she calls the Yatagarasu. That in itself is a more elegant proof.

Kay: Ms. Shih-na.

Shih-na: Yes?

Kay: I... have no intention of taking back any of what I've said.

Shih-na: ...?

Kay: I am the Great Thief Yatagarasu. And I refuse to allow some imposter to claim that name as their own! The path of justice that my father pointed me towards... I will walk it the best I can!

Her relationship with Edgeworth works as an inverse to that of Nick and Maya's in the way that, where Nick and Maya have deep respect for one another beneath layers upon layers of playful insults and messing about, Kay outwardly respects Edgeworth first (and expects that respect to be returned) and razes him second -- that, too, never to an extent she wouldn't with anyone else or that crosses a certain boundary. Her messing with Edgeworth is shown to be more an attempt to get him to lighten up or not take himself too seriously than an act of (platonic) intimacy as it is with Nick and Maya (which makes sense because Nick and Maya have spent years together, while she's known Edgeworth for all of two weeks) or genuine obliviousness/silliness (although it definitely sometimes is). This is pretty obvious simply from the fact that she always calls him 'Mr Edgeworth', though she's perfectly comfortable calling Gumshoe and Badd, people whom she is more familiar and comfortable with, 'Gummy' and 'Uncle Badd' respectively. Also Kay, in general, is quite polite? Edgeworth calls something she said rude at one point and she gets insulted, and, when you ask for her opinion, she doesn't go 'What?' or 'What is it?', she specifically says, 'Yes?' (this changes in AAI2, which I promise I'm not discussing here) Upon meeting Oldbag, she has this exchange with her, where Kay chooses a more formal mode of address than what is actually offered:

Oldbag: My name is Wendy Oldbag. But you can call me "Wendy", or "Granny", or whatever suits your fancy.

Kay: Nice to meet you, Ms. Oldbag! I'm Kay Faraday.

She's also had moments where she calls Edgeworth out for being 'tactless', and she's shown to feel very strongly about rudeness throughout the whole game. I'm not saying she isn't mischievous or playful, she very much is, but the point is that she's really quite respectful, and this extends to her relationship with him. Her characterisation in Turnabout Ablaze, where she's considerably more excitable/high-strung than in Kidnapped, seems largely due to them chasing down Calisto Yew. Edgeworth even comments on this:

Edgeworth: Kay, you need to look before you leap. You tend to lose your cool when it comes to anything related to that woman.

Generally, though, you can tell that she was obviously raised with an adherence to certain formalities. She's not looking for another parental figure (because she doesn't need one, which I'll go into after this), but, if she was, she'd make that clear.

Kay's a very straightforward person at heart; she doesn't hide any part of herself, even the part that should be hidden (i.e. the Yatagarasu). There are points where she suggests that Edgeworth reminds her of her father, but, in AAI, she specifically mentions that it's both Edgeworth and Gumshoe who remind her of her father and Detective Badd. It's not about her seeing Edgeworth as a father figure; it's about their and her own dedication to the truth. Even in AAI2, where her comments could be read as leaning more towards the former angle, she doesn't get cut up about him not picking up on that or really paying it much emphasis at all, because it doesn't matter. The fact that he reminds her of Byrne is just that: a fact.

Returning to the point about Kay not needing/wanting another parental figure, I think it's pretty self-explanatory, but to put it succinctly: Kay has the guidance she needs without him.

To put it less succinctly, Edgeworth's possibly the worst candidate to go for for emotional support and guidance in the first place, and by the time she meets him again, she's basically processed her father's passing and has a better handle on herself emotionally than Edgeworth does (not a brag; most characters have higher EQ than Edgeworth); what she wants isn't necessarily closure for Byrne's death in the emotional sense but in the I-want-answers-to-this-mystery-that-will-restore-my-family's-honour sense. You could make the argument that Kay becoming the second Yatagarasu and shaping her entire future around continuing her father's work prove that she isn't over his death, but I don't think that's true and more of a result of conflating her with Maya a bit.

With Maya, becoming the Master isn't something she chooses; it's given to her by Misty and Mia. With Kay, it's the opposite. Kay's decision to become the Yatagarasu and pursue the truth is wholly her own, and her approach to that goal reflects that. While Maya uses her cheery, upbeat attitude to conceal a lot of self-doubt and vulnerability (and Franziska does the same with her hostility), Kay does not. Her cheerfulness is precisely who she is; it's not a mask so much as it is a distraction. It keeps people from looking at her too closely and realising exactly how capable she is, and, while I don't think it's fully intentional (again, she believes in living her life in a straightforward and upfront manner), she does imply that it's sort of her (or the Yatagarasu's) MO:

Kay: Well! By the time everyone notices, it's already gone! That's the Yatagarasu way!

Interestingly enough, this unintentional tactic of using humour and cheeriness as a distraction from her abilities makes her a mirror to Calisto Yew, who also uses her seemingly always light-hearted nature as a disguise for what she's actually capable of (Calisto's joviality is her true self, too, or at least as 'true' as she can get). The difference between them is that Calisto delights in ironically mocking the world around her, whereas Kay finds joy in life itself, and she's stronger for it.

The only part where we see Kay attempt to mask her feelings is when she's a child, and even then she admits that she feels better after crying, which, I believe, led to her becoming more open with her emotions later in life (see how her older self has a teary sprite which makes pretty frequent appearances where her younger self does not). In any case, to me, this shows that she has people in her life already who are helping, and have helped, her confront and process her trauma. She's not looking to Edgeworth to help her make sense of her father's death and she definitely isn't looking for a replacement (again, literally dedicated to continuing her father's [and Badd's] legacy). Whenever Edgeworth even gets close to becoming parental with her, she dismisses it, unless she acknowledges that she is in the wrong:

Edgeworth: ...Kay, it's not good for you to stay up late, you know.

Kay: Yes, gramps!

...

Edgeworth: ...I appreciate your sense of justice, however... I would appreciate it if you wouldn't go running into the heart of any more raging fires.

Kay: Nngh... Yes, Mr. Edgeworth... I'll try...

Despite her buoyancy and bright attitude, Kay is quite firm that she be treated as an adult (she doesn't see her cheeriness as a mark of youth; it's joie de vivre, it's who she is, and that's that), and, throughout the game, she gets annoyed when people don't respect that (her arguments with Lang are largely over how he calls Little Thief a toy and her crow-girl). She holds her own and relies on herself while being unafraid of asking for help.

Anyway, this post has gone on for long enough and I think I've addressed the points I wanted to. I should mention that I realise that a lot of how many people portray/interpret their relationship is validated by AAI2 but that's honestly a discussion for a separate post HAHA I feel like, when it comes to AAI, the father/daughter interpretation can maybe be argued with regards to the way Edgeworth treats her? Honestly, though, I think he'd treat any young lady who suddenly becomes part of his team/responsibility in pretty much the same way. And, like, he drops the ball almost every time he's supposed to give "fatherly" advice because he's just not that great with it/children!! It's actually hilarious HSKSDHSK

Either way, yeah! I just think Kay is actually given a lot less credit than she's due when the Dadworth card gets played and I just! Want better for her!!

AA Art dump because I've been drawing a lot

[bakedbybeanss]

Maya and miles are BESTIES!!! And I DONT take criticism!!!!!!

[rage-against-the-dying-of-light]

⭐ for your edgeworth maya besties headcanon go go go :grabbyhands:

Astri, I love you, thank you for letting me lore dump about my most recent FranMaya!

This is for the ‘director’s commentary ask game’, if you wanted to know lore or headcanons or whatever about a specific fanfic, just let me know which one in the ask box or send ⭐ and I’ll pick a fic to talk about!

Anyways, this is for my latest FranMaya fic ‘my blood is red and unafraid of living’ and I have a whole fucking iceberg’s worth of lore for the fic. For those that may want to read it, after reading this lore drop, the link will be in the replies!

What you need to know about the fic: Maya is a Fandom Old and has been writing Steel Samurai and Pink Princess fanfics for a decade and is best friends with SteelEdge92, her biggest fan and beta reader (who is of course, just Miles Edgeworth, but neither of them have realized who the other is bc they’re dumb and it’s really funny to me).

Now, without further ado, the Lore:

Interestingly enough, Maya and Miles online friendship started off rocky and adversarial. Maya got into writing fanfiction after the Will Powers case, writing about the Pink Princess as a way to work through all the big feeling she was having after that case. Maya managed to grab the username ‘TheRealPinkPrincess’ since she learned about Pink so early. 

Essentially Maya wrote the Pink Princess as a self insert and very Mary Sue like, added a bunch of OCs (including a big sister of the Pink Princess, that Pink was able to save at the very last minute from a murder plot) and wrote Steel as Pink Princess’s gay best friend, writing something that was rather stereotypical, but not purposefully cruel, about gay men.

Maya was 17, had never written before, and was struggling with her sudden realization that she might be into women too (Penny Nichols made her start questioning herself), and that felt terrifying to consider the implications of, so writing Steel x Magistrate felt like a safer way to explore same sex attraction, than by writing Pink liking a woman.

Miles fell back into the Steel Samurai fandom around the same time (which he had been secretly apart of for a long time, but super deep in the repression) and stumbled upon Maya’s fanfics, since she was writing about the new character. Of course, he was very snobbish about fanfiction at the time, and normally he would’ve ignored something like Maya’s fanfic, considering it childish and beneath him, but at that time in the fandom, there weren’t a lot of people writing Magisteel (there was a lot of homophobes claiming they could only be ‘just friends’) and so he tended to read anything with Magisteel content.

He sent her a scathing unasked for critique absolutely picking apart the fic and completely going off on her about her accuracy at writing gay men and the gay experience.

Which caused Maya to almost give up writing. (She continued out of spite.)

It wasn’t until after RFTA, while Miles was re-evaluating himself and his belief system that he realized that ‘TheRealPinkPrincess’ was barely an adult, struggling with her sexuality and he had been so cruel as to tear apart something that she worked on so earnestly, (realizing that he had treated her the way he was treated at that age, and it felt awful.)

He found Maya online and she hadn’t actually blocked him and he gave a sincere and heartfelt apology. And offered to help Maya write more accurate depictions of gay men if that was something she wanted, without expecting any forgiveness for hurting her. Maya forgave Steel and they started a very tentative friendship that only grew and deepened as the years went on, to the point that Miles eventually sent Maya a very heartful message about how much being her beta reader and friend helped him through difficult times.

As Maya got better at writing, she continued the same story (it’s been an overarching series of one-shots and multichapters since she started) fleshing out the world and becoming a beloved writer in the community (at least for some people.) Miles is her #1 dedicated fan at this point, especially bc she wrote a huge arc that was almost better than the show that explored in depth the Evil Magistrates trauma and struggles and ended with him healing and starting a relationship with the Steel Samurai. Miles sends her essays in the AO3 comments gushing about her work, and they frequently exceed the character limit.

And that is the entire Miles and Maya friendship iceberg from the fic!

Also, I know you didn’t ask about the Cody lore, but you are getting the Cody lore too astri, bc I love him (Cody Hackins plz return in AA7 all grown up).

So, Cody 1000% lied about his age and got a Tumblr when he was 11, I feel this in my bones, so that he could follow Maya and Maya realized right away it was him and adopted him as her fandom little brother. He would mail her his fanart and she would mail him her fanfics (edited for 11 year old sensibilities). And once Cody was older he started posting his fanart to Tumblr and amassing a large following of his own.

At 18, in the present time of the fic he is one of those ppl that logs on once a month, also leaves essay like comments on Maya’s stuff, drops a single piece of insanely detailed art and then disappears for another month.

And that’s the Cody lore.

And one last lore drop, this one is spoilers for after the fic:

After Maya explains to Fran what is going on, Fran does take a look at Tumblr to see if she can do anything about the rude comments Maya is getting and sees SteelEdge92 defending Maya and decides to take a look at his account and see the user Maya is always talking about as her best friend.

And then in 0.3 seconds she realizes with dawning horror that this is Miles Edgeworth’s Tumblr page, bc he hasn’t changed it since he was 13 and she accidentally caught a glimpse of it.

And that neither her wife or brother have at all realized that they’ve been best friends online for almost a decade.

And then she has to lie down.

If you're up for it, would love to see some Phoenix and Franziska friendship sketches (criminally underrated duo imo they'd be the worsties ever)

Okay I didn’t mean to accidentally come up with a new headcanon but I did. I think Franziska actually grows to care about Phoenix, considering he is her brother’s significant other and her girlfriend’s basically-brother. She gets embarrassed about it though because she has to maintain her Tough Girl Prosecutor look and can’t be showing sympathy for a defense attorney. When he gets disbarred, that wall still remains because she can’t be seen showing sympathy to a *disgraced* ex-defense attorney. However, she still feels like she should do something, so she masks her concern through the concern of the other loved ones. She ends up having movie nights with him (the same way Miles and Maya watch samurai stuff together) and they bond on the more cynical sides of the world, as well as deep down secret loves for musicals and pretty things. He becomes like a big brother for her in a way that Miles never really was because, while growing up, Franziska was often the one comforting Miles through his nightmares and trauma. That’s just one of the reasons why she refers to him as her “little brother”, as well as her just wanting to project herself as more in charge than she actually is. Franziska also develops a soft spot for hugs because she never really had them growing up. Miles isn’t really known to be the one to initiate hugs (although he does enjoy them), while the Wright Family (and this includes Maya) hugs ALL the time. Much like everyone else, Fran finds comfort in Phoenix’s hugs and is able to let her guard down with him (however, she tells him that if he tells *anyone* about this, she will kill him because she still needs to maintain her reputation as Tough and Scary for her career)

Do you have a pearl design?

sure do! as you all can probably tell, these are very old pftt, here's some doodles of her way back then :0]

copypasting from my old replies on twt LOL:

pearl's set up to be another prosecutor like her ma, she's still a very sweet girl but she is very antagonistic towards miles and franziska bc they're going against prosecutor maya, who she still loves very much and idolizes.

i thought it would interesting if she served as an angry little force to be reckoned with during investigations instead of being helpful in what would be considered jfa in the swap au

she does grow a lot more chiller once she grows up pftt

also, kind of been thinking of pearls and simon friendshipisms bc when i was like doing an age table of all the swap au characters in excel, i realized that they'd be the same age which is WILD lol (i mean athena and pearl are the same age too so i should've seen it coming, but still!! wild!!!)

in my heart of hearts, pearl and simon are some flavor of aroace and whatever pearl wants to do with anybody's love life doing is going to be a disaster ASKSKS sorry queen </3

Various atsv men x gn!reader

Pairing : Miles Morales, Pavitr Prabhakar, Miguel O Hara, Hobie x Gn!reader ( separate )

Summary : When they realize they fall in love with you and what they do to make them realize it

Mainly headcanons

Cw : None! This fanfiction is purely fluff

Gwen’s note : I dont know what to do for 100 likes special HAHA but maybe requests will be opened uppp, idk yet but most likely that. I got this idea from prompts I found.

Possible ATSV spoilers.

Pavitr was a dumbass when it came to love,, he didnt realize his own feelings. He constantly showered you with gifts and compliments, he would also be very touchy with you and he’d be hugging you almost every time he sees you if you’re comfortable with it! He would constantly talk about you to Hobie and Gwen, “Oh, you know? [Reader] is sooo cool, like oh my god? I’d like to live with them for my whole life! No-no, I’d love to! They are the absolute best and they’re so so stunning.. there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for them!” he rambled about how cool you looked and how cool you were every time they spoke to each other, and when he does speak about you, Gwen and Hobie would just give each other looks and whisper how dense and how idiotic he is for not realizing his own feelings. He would constantly take you out to “hang outs” and he even introduced you to auntie Maya! And you immediately got along with auntie Maya. Then one day, Pavitr spoke to Gwen and Hobie nervously, “I think I like [reader]” then after he said that, he tells why and he could never stop talking about you. And Hobie just replied with “Congrats, you’re the last one to know!”

Miles realizes once he feels his heartbeat picking up speed when he has a conversation with you, even just a simple “Hi, Miles!” His heart feels like it was gonna explode. He doesn’t know when exactly to bring it up to you, but boy will this guy try to talk to you and stick to you every time. When he sees you, hes gets so nervous and can’t focus at all. He will never stop drawing you in his sketchbook, he’ll probably draw you two together and hang the drawing on his wall. He probably also non-stop talks about you. His parents probably know and he will always ask his mom and dad for advice on how to kinda get with you. “Mama, I kinda have a crush.. and I want to get with them but, I don't know how to!” he asked, “QUE?!!” He always made sure you were okay and you weren’t hurt if you got in trouble. He’d doubt that you like him unless you tell him like 5 times that you do like him!

Hobie probably just developed feelings for you midway, you had a great friendship with him and he just kinda started to develop feelings for you, once he realizes that he does like you, he’d wait for maybe around 2 days and drop out several hints like “G’day mate, wanna hang out? Call it a date,” and he’d wink or smirk after that, then he’d actually confess. I’m telling you, this man is bold as hell. He’d confess in the middle of a “hang out” and he’d be like “Y'know what, I like you, you’re stunning and I want to be yours,” and once you tell him you like him back, he’ll want to be with you all the time and he’d be practically glued to you. He’d wrap his arm around your shoulder all the time if he doesn’t wrap his arm around your shoulder, He’d wrap his arm around your waist! He’ll play a song for you, he’d always make sure you’re safe and unharmed. He’ll be there when you need it, he promises!

He’d smile around you, but Miguel would never notice he did till someone points it out. He’d just smile at you randomly till someone, most likely Hobie, Miles and Pavitr says “OOOH!!MIGUEL O’HARA IS SMILING!!!” and they’d shout that out loud. After they say that, Miguel would just frown like usual. He is unintentionally kinda touchy with you, like, he’d unconsciously touch your hand as a signal of “canwepleasepleasepleaseholdhands?” and whenever you both sit together somewhere, maybe on the sofa or something, he’d scoot a little closer to you. Hes wayyy more gentle, considerate and kinder with you, he’ll try his best to be calm around you. He would never ever try to hurt you, never. He cares about you a lot but he never realizes. Then he starts thinking about you, sometimes he’d even smile when he thinks about you. When he talks with other people like maybe Miles, he’d say [reader] instead of ‘Miles’ like “Hey [reader]” “What? my name’s Miles?” then Miguel would say “Oh I meant Miles,” ( no apology ). ( If you wear perfume / have a signature scent ) He’d smell you out of nowhere even though you’re not there, but he wished you were. And that’s when he realizes he’s so madly in love with you, when he starts thinking about you.

Maya's contagious excitement ✨

[Plain text: Links to help Palestine and other resources! (palestine flag). End plain text.]

[Image description: Digital sketched colored comic of Ace Attorney characters Maya Fey, Miles Edgeworth, and Phoenix Wright. There is no text, their talk is implied with speech bubbles. Maya is excitedly talking to Miles and she is waving her arms. She gets more excited and starts jumping. Miles starts getting giddy and slightly moving his arms because of Maya’s excitement. Miles starts to join in on the topic. He is moving his right arm, body, and pointing his left pointing finger up. Maya is happy with Miles talking with her and jumping while clapping her hands. Phoenix walks in and Maya turns towards him. She excitedly says, “Nick!! We were having so much fun talking about the new Steel Samurai movie!!” Miles is glaring at Phoenix with a dark aura behind him. Phoenix notices Miles, gets shocked, and is intimidated. Phoenix: “I-Is that so?” End description.]

Maya is so excited and energetic that it’s rubbing off on Miles 🥹 How can he not join in on infodumping about Steel Samurai when Maya’s so into it?

HC: I like to think that Miles finds it easy to open up more with Maya than anyone else at first. She seems to be on his soft side in the canon- some examples is when she tells him what to do and he does it without questioning it, Miles almost cries when Maya helps him out during DL6, and he immediately was worried when he found out she got kidnapped. Even in the non-canon unofficial manga, he just takes a pic with her cuz she asked 😭 I love their friendship so much- Maya and Miles are besties 🙂‍↕️ I also HC that Miles doesn’t feel safe enough around Phoenix yet, so he tenses up and looks intimidating. He’s just embarrassed that you caught him being excited about Steel Samurai, Phoenix, don’t worry! LOL

After a long case, Miles and Franziska usually find themselves at the pizza joint near the office to relax. And after rekindling the old friendship between him and Phoenix, the prosecutor finds himself accompanying them occasionally to share thoughts about said cases over some espresso and tea. Franziska likes to keep a mental tally of how many times Miles gets flustered while chatting with Phoenix when he gets off topic and makes fun of him later at the office.

(I am sort of obsessed over the official art of Phoenix, Miles and Maya hanging out at the ramen shop and wanted to do my own spin on it! Posing for everyone is practically exactly the same except a few tweaks plus changing it to a pizzeria and instead of the awkward gaze the two share in the original I decided to make the boys actually enjoy their time together XD)

Quick headcannons for this (image)AU:

-instead of burgers, Franziska's favorite food is pizza

-Phoenix is an espresso aficionado/addict (due to him avoiding sleep to not face his nightmares in the past but he's getting better after Miles "saves" him)

-Miles still likes tea but not as picky as his alternate self

-Phoenix KNOWS his outfit messes with everyone (Miles) and always makes sure to sit across from the defense attorney cause he's still a bit of a brat
