Summary:

The first inclination she’d had of being dead was the young woman sitting next to her. It was a Sunday, her husband was out of the house at a talk for trainee joiners now that he’d retired and had the time, and Mary had been sat watching Coronation Street while waiting for him to get back. The ads were on. The light of the screen reflected back at her in this woman’s eyes and for a moment Mary wondered how she’d got in without the sound of the door opening.

It was the soft smile and the sympathy in her gaze that told Mary she was dead.

A reunion: for a mother that failed to protect her son, and a son that failed to stand up and save her.

Posted this at like 2am my time so I'm late to putting it on Tumblr.

A reunion fic, bc I feel like Mary would wanna see her son again and if Death's never found Charles then she'd know that Charles would still be around on Earth somewhere. I love Death's character, I'm so glad I watched Sandman after DBD so I had some knowledge of her character before writing this.

Nightmares

[Transcript]

A colorless sketch comic of Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth from Ace Attorney.

Page 1:

Phoenix is wearing his suit from the Phoenix Wright trilogy, but with no badge. He is running, trying to escape the clutches of a dark, morphed arm with claws, but fails as it grasps his forearm. He glances back at it, terrified. Pictures of Kristoph Gavin's darkened gaze with a smirk and little Trucy giving him a piece of paper flash in his mind as the monster hugs him from behind, only its creepy smile and eyes comprehensive. The monster has long, loose hair flowing and branching everywhere, and something resembling two braids at the top. The strands of hair separate the previous imaginery into scenes.

Phoenix gasps as wakes up, sweating with unshed tears in his eyes, and clutching his blanket with his eyes widened. He is unshaven, and his hair is a mess.

Page 2:

Panel 1:

He sits up quickly, clutching the part of the t-shirt where his heart is, as he breathes heavily. With his other hand he is tightly grasping his blanket.

Panel 2:

A long-sleeved hand grabs the one clutching the blanket, and it jolts. "Phoenix," the person mumbles.

Panel 3:

"M-Miles," Phoenix stutters as he turns his gaze to Miles, who is hidden by Phoenix as he's still laying down. Miles' hand moves to the hand grasping at Phoenix's shirt, talking to him. "Listen to my voice," he speaks, still tired, "Come lay down." Phoenix's grasp on the blanket loosens.

Panel 4:

Phoenix falls back down on the pillow with a thump. "That's it," Miles praises him, with his eyes still closed, trying to emerge from his half-asleep state. His hair is a mess too, one of his bangs tucked behind his ear and with a slight scruff on his face. Phoenix, still shakened, glances at him. Miles holds his hand. "Take a deep breath. 'm right here."

Page 3:

Panel 1:

Miles lifts himself up, getting an arm under Phoenix's head. "C'mere," he says, and Phoenix with his trembling lip tries to apologize, "I-I'm s—" but he is cut off by Miles' shushing him. His other arm is caressing his chest.

Panel 2:

Miles tucks Phoenix in his own chest, wrapping his arms around his neck, one of them scratching his head. He scrunches his eyebrows, "I'm here, darling." Phoenix's eyes fill with tears once more and he hiccups, shaking.

Panel 3:

Miles wraps Phoenix up in his arms, burying his head in his hair. "It was just a dream," he says as Phoenix lets out a sob. Tears roll down his face as he buries himself entirely in Miles' shoulder, hugging him back. "You're safe," Miles continues, "It was just a dream."

stoned and autistic at a party trying to make conversation: I find the comparative lifespan of organisms so interesting. Spiders are comparatively long lived animals. Female black widows can live up to 3 years but their male counterparts rarely live four months. Some tarantulas live upwards of 20 years. The longest lived spider was around 43 years old when she was cruelly assassinated by a parasitic wasp. Domestic rats have a lifespan comparable to female black widows. To put things into perspective, there are spiders that remember a pre-pandemic world but it is likely every rat on earth was born post-COVID. There could be a spider out there born when Reagan was in office.
