Let me explain real quick how I got to this fic because it's a little ridiculous and convoluted and I think that's kinda funny.

I'm not a big fanfic guy, generally. I am extraordinarily picky, I didn't get into it as a teen because I had already been blindsided by horny fanart for children's media and did NOT want a repeat of THAT experience (I was devastated to learn that safe search did practically nothing), and tbh all the fanfic websites scared me because I don't like learning new UIs or signing up for things. I just sort of missed the prime window for getting into fanfic as a hobby. Unless something is specifically recommended to me there is a high chance it'll just never cross my path.

Cut to sometime in early November, 2022. I had just recently gotten into Ace Attorney so that I could talk about it with a friend. As I often do, I accidentally became obsessed with it and shot way ahead of where my friend was, ironically making it difficult to discuss it with him. And now I'm drawing a lot of Franziska, and thinking "damn I wish she had a game". Not much longer after I posted some sketches about the concept, I got a notification from @pictureswithboxes. Turns out, she had seen my silly little doodles AND WRITTEN AN ENTIRE COURT CASE BASED ON THE IDEA!!

That story is called Turnabout Substitution, and it's phenomenal. I also have some doodles from that one, but I want to polish them before I share. Anyways, the point is I died on the spot and now, three years later, I've reread the finished story at least 5 times. About a week ago I noticed that there was a new story available, Metal Masquerade. After reading the available chapters I realized that this story has a co-author. Well, I've enjoyed these ones so much, I wonder if this person has any other- OH WOW THAT'S A LOT. Well who do they tend to focus on- FRANZISKA???!? MY BELOVED FRANZISKA VON KARMA!?!?

And that's how we got here :D

Both of these writers have such an exquisite handle on these characters and what makes them interesting, I was genuinely just as entertained by Franziska unraveling a murder case as I was by Phoenix picking up pastries from a café. They're all so full of life, every single scene I've read has been a treat. They're funny, they're dramatic, they're well-paced, introspective, and curious about this fictional world and the people in it. I cannot recommend these authors enough, and I feel genuinely lucky to have found their work

Have it also

If I draw it it exists whether or not I acknowledge it..

i think the anniversary outfits are funny

a lot of them look awful tbh

I really love the idea of Hajime and Izuru sharing a brain but instead of angst they get to talk about theories together :)

Remnant Memories - A short SoudaBuki comic

If you wanna read my yap on my thoughts behind this:

This is very headcanon based, but I like to think remnant kazuichi and ibuki ran into each other during the tragedy, with Ibuki using a scrapped machine weapon from him. She found it in the rubble, and used it to her liking to blast sound waves at a decimal impossibly high towards her victims that it would practically explode their head from the impact on their eardrums. I wanted her to do something more impactful during the tragedy than just? evil music? lmao. And the sound waves that kill her victim is music to her ears, in fact it's a music so beautiful to her that post-canon she itches for that feeling back.

And of course, them healing together too. Despite Ibuki's comfort for him in this, she doesn't have everything figured out either. They're both still very messed up, they just have episodes at random times, and the other one is there to help when they can. Along with everybody else on the island, of course.

Kazuichi struggles more with the thoughts that he's scared he'll somehow revert back and hurt her, which is partly why he had to go to the beach away from the bed they were sleeping in together. But Ibuki won't allow him to wallow in those thoughts for long.

Anywho, this was my first experiment at a G-nib and ink, aka the lineart was done traditionally, along with some of the screentone also being traditional. I like how it turned out for a first-go at it!
