Team Edgeworth Vs. Team Wright Leff
Who's gonna outsmart the other?
What if Phoenix decided to hide his identity from Miles after his disbarment, and finds himself in another fucking rivalry with his courtroom rival again under the pseudonym Mr. Robin Leff?
I call it "Conjunction Wright and Left"!
More context and doodles below--
Conjunction Wright and Left takes place between September 2019 to April 2020 after Phoenix's disbarment.
He, weirdly, takes it in stride. He immediately rises up to investigate and figure out the weirdness behind his disbarment and look into some shady sources, all the while he takes care of the new Wright in the family, Trucy. It doesn't mean it isn't difficult, but he's living the best he can. Sort of... [he gets a lot of injuries... and old man back pain]
However, he's also lying to many of his friends and family. He keeps in contact with them, but never lets them on of what he's doing for their safety.
This includes one Miles Edgeworth, who isn't even aware that his best friend is literally no longer a lawyer! He's too busy taking in all his studies abroad!
Miles Edgeworth, after months abroad dealing with conspiracies, studies, and many kinds of adventures, settles down back in Japanifornia in August. He finds himself followed by the newly employed private investigator/training detective Kay and recently promoted Sergeant Gumshoe leads them all back together! With the investigations trio reunited, they find themselves wrapped up in another conspiracy full of betrayal and corruption in the legal system!
But everything feels strange… Gumshoe seems antsy about something, these new witnesses of different cases are somehow all connected, and a new mysterious man who calls himself Mr. Leff seems to be everywhere and nowhere.
While investigating, Miles finds out more than he’s ever bargained for, especially about new revelations of a long time dear friend, Phoenix Wright and the intriguingly odd Mr. Leff.
Story contains a lot of angst, fluff, found family antics, gumshoe lore, phoenix lore, an abnormal amount of physical violence and fighting [but probably a good accurate canon amount] , arguing and narumitsu + dadworth + dadnix <3

I do plan to have this be a fic, but my ideas are so dang big that this is going to definitely take some time, especially cuz i want to establish motivations, reasons, and a really intricate case!
ALSO IM GIVING LORE TO GUMSHOE AND PHOENIX THEY NEED SOME KIND OF BACKSTORY BEFORE THE GAMES YKNOW??
Ace Attorney Re-ishdesigns!
aka me being absolutely bored out of my mind to try and create different designs for characters that would be interesting to have in a trilogy together!
Notes below!
So kept it simple with Phoenix and Miles. I honestly don't mind their designs overall and felt it'd be important to simply keep a simple idea with them.
I do kind of think Miles' coat is a little awkward loooking in the games, so fuck it -- give this man the long waist coat
I also added elements of Kay and Trucy because dadworth and dadnix! <3 (plus Franziska earring)
Lastly, I decided to give Phoenix two different kinds of shoes. Yes, he's theoretically like- the big boss and i guess professionallism but fuck it, i stand for phoenix wearing sneakers for the CONVENIENCE
----------------------------------------
Next is... Kay and Trucy!
I'll be honest, it's hard to redesign Trucy. But I don't know about her 3D model... something feels off.
So, I decided to go with a white dress shirt-ish look.
I also think, since Phoenix calls Trucy her shining light, it'd be interesting if she switched to a star motif, which is where I get all my choices for the simplified cloak and emblem on it.
But she still has a heart ida-bag from Edgeworth and Kay!
Finally! Smug Kay
I don't have many notes on her design, it being more for looks and a practical aspect than anything. But! It matches nicely with trucy and edgeworth's while also being distinctly hers.
no phoenix because i didn't really wanna add anything blue I suppose? If there was soemthing from pheonix, it'd be hidden, like playing cards!
-----------------------------------
It was fairly easy what I wanted for Apollo and Athena
Apollo - JACKET, Khur'ain clothing (from staying there for a few years), scars, and EAARING!!
Jacket's similar to Clay's and his adopted dad (have not seen any gameplay of aa5-6, so I don't know all of the significance yet...)
Khurain clothing is from his vest, sort of like a button open up
He has his scars from aa5 and earring's from Trucy and Phoenix!
I need his actual in-game deign to incorporate- like- the things in his life PLEASE
~~
Athena - Athletic and spunky + implementation of headphones!
Everything is pretty similar from her old design and what many other redesigns from other artists have,
Catch is that I added suspenders that matches with Phoenix's, changed her tie, sneakers, and short hair!
Most assymetrical symmetrical design I could think of... (unintentionally)
OH ALSO EYEBROW NOTCH FOR ATHENA, ODD EYEBROW TRIO COMPLETE!!!
--------------------
Lastly!! Iris, Adrian, and Pearly!!
I've recently gotten a little crazy over Adrian x Iris art from @handsometimr and I think it's honestly a really cool potential dynamic <33
SO YOU GET THAT, I GUESS?
Pearl, I'd imagine, would still be trying to stick to her training and actually - for a good period during the 7 year gap - lived with Iris and the familiar Adrian!
I kept Pearl in her outfit, but with a jacket and seashell to clip into her hair. (agaain, idk what happened in aa5 so-- just making ideas up)
Iris and Adrian!! Either engaged, married, gfs IDK
Adrian's outfit is pretty based of her design in aa3
but Iris is to be basically breaking out of her form, doing whatever she wants, but still keeping a little piece of Dhalia with her through the necklace.
But ofc, short hair and braids. perfect <33
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk haha!
7 YEAR AU: Phoenix adamantly hides his identity away from those who knows him: including Edgeworth.
He doesn’t need to know all the things that Phoenix’s trying to protecting.
He doesn’t need Edgeworth’s help, anyways.
He doesn’t need to know.
Durinh his investigations on the forged evidence, wright gets a few too many injuries, where it would be suspicious if it weren’t for the fact that no one gets to see him cuz he closed himself off, smh
At least Trucy’s there to watch her dad!
Meanwhile, Gumshoe knows what’s up, but promised Phoenix to not tell anyone else. Not even Miles. Wonder why!
Well, He’s too busy with helping Edgeworth and Kay Faraday with a case surrounding a dangerous situation with information being passed around and people getting kidnapped.
The Investigation team is on their way!
Miles is in Japanifornia permanently, Kay is around to prove herself as a private investigator, and Gumshoe’s has been promoted to a Lieutenant!
And they get to see an interesting man, colloquially introduced himself as Mr. Leff. Wonder who he is
Αnd why does Miles feel so weird about him?
Preparing for the holidays!
CLOSEUPS!
Edgeworth and Kay finding a sweet treat!
Franziska giving advice to Pearl about winter-y earrings!
The Skye Sisters finishing a case together and getting presents!
Finally, Athena and Simon have a heart to heart about cutting onions
