Narumitsu Fic recs:
Neverending stories edition (yay!)
Life is about the journey, not the destination, right? Some of my most enjoyed reading time has been spent experiencing long, unfinished but satisfying fics. These fics may not be finished, they may leave you wanting more, but in a 'I could eat more because, dang that was tasty’ kind of way. But isn't that kind of a good thing? If you enjoy these, I recommend subscribing to them as a small and powerful act of hope. One day, you may be surprised by an update or additional chapter. It's happened before! {;-)
1, Symbiosis by @dei-ryuu (check out their Ao3 collection link here)
Rating: T Words: 332,023
This au fic is sooo layered, so creative, sooo…. I haven’t come anything like it. It honours the games and characters by following canon touchstones, but through a new lens. Miles, Maya, and oooh Phoenix, are just written so sweetly and charismatically. Great dialogue, great emotional moments, and the foreshadowing and Easter eggs just so generously given! I imagine the authors’ living quarters are wall papered with stickies and red strings cross-crossing to multiple rooms to keep track of them all. Also read if you like cliff hangers. Around chapter 20, the author evolves into the GOAT of cliff hanger crafters. This is the longest bookmark rec I’ve ever written for
(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ REASONS!
2. Saturation by TiedyedTrickster
Rating: G Words: 311, 066
This is a magnum opus of slow burns. Even though it is unfinished, it’s so worth your time to get into. Miles' character growth is really the heart of the story. The author describes the story as 'An exploration that begins with colour, continues with grey-scale, then fluctuates between the two...'. Delicate and lovely yet substantial. Kinda like Miles!
3. (Ya Got) Trouble by Chatvert
Rating: E Words: 303, 655
I wish that this work was complete (we are sitting at 44 of 48 Chapters) but really, it doesn't matter. This fic has some of the *best* Maya lines I've ever come across. The dialogue and banter is SO GOOD! Recommending for those that like sweet, sexy and sensitive portrayals of canon adjacent characters (read the tags for more details).
4. A Brief for the Defense by orphan_account (May have been Ophelia_Writes?)
Rating: T Words: 261, 895
Sadly orphaned, I still think this is a top contender for one of the best fanfics I have ever read. Tender, laugh out loud humour, pain, healing, insightful, thoroughly entertaining…Look at the number of comments, Kudos and Bookmarks! It is so worth your time. Sending lots of love and gratitude to the author, wherever they may be ❤️
5. A Series of Turnabouts by LeFlayART
Rating: E Words: 128, 264
Yeah, ok this is a series so I'm kind of cheating, but I think it still meets my 'over 100,000 words collectively and marked unfinished' criteria for this list. For folks who are driven nuts by incompleteness, go enjoy the first two stories in the series. It's only the last one that is unfinished.
Interesting and sometimes explicit long fic where it's revealed that Miles is related to the Feys. Epic in scale and feels.
6. BONUS Super long Chat Fic!
Virtual, Visual, Viral by TrueImmortality
Rating: M Words: (who knows?! This story is 173 chapters (so far) of phone text screenshots. It took me days to read it.
The feels! Incredible emotional mileage given out of screen captured texts. Some are funny, some infuriating, some tender and all with heart. Woah, also some unexpected ´A-game ´ cliff hangers and drama story arcs. And playlists! File under “came here for the story, left with a massively loaded playlist.”
Amazing.

Haha! Also a great read! Check it out for your free dose of serotonin :)
The moment from You Ever Been In Love? where Phoenix tries to convince the other guy that Miles isn't dangerous
Highly recommend the fic!

Narumitsu /Ace Attorney fic rec: Mini Binge edition!
Have you ever gone on an author binge?
If not, I got a good one lined up for you!!!

1. Do you trust me?
Rating: M, Words: 13,547
Let’s start off with a classic Narumitsu feels fic. Phoenix and Miles meet up at a conference and just really, really enjoy each other’s company. I was sad when it was over because I wanted more time with them. Read and reread for wonderful banter and feels. Highly recommended.
*featuring the true story of ´The Rat Trials of 1508´

2. Vengeful Spirit
Rating: M, Words: 2,586
The one where Pearls and Trucy have a sleep over and Pearls accidentally channels Manfred von Karma. In part terrifying and also hilarious. A short read (approx 10 min) and worth your time! I lol’ed more than once!

3. Mistrial
Rating: G, Words: 6,101
I loved ‘Do You Trust Me’ but this fic secures Kuraintrain as a ‘Narumitsu Master’ in my eyes. This one tackles Miles’ absolute <em>frustration </em> with Phoenix and it’s eventual resolution. Come for the ridiculous ‘Phoenix on a tractor scenario,’ stay for the delicious delivery of an angry, frustrated, possessive and yet loving Miles, and an apologetic and wonderfully written emotionally intuitive, tender Phoenix ❤️💙 (and yes, there are many LOLs along the way 😊

4. matrimonium decernere
Rating: E, Words: 16,620
Woo! The one where we get some smut! Kidding (ok, maybe not kidding ;) ) This is a proposal trope fic. However it is written with such sensitivity to the characters, their present and what they went through in the past that while fluffy, it doesn’t get <em>too </em>sweet. It strikes a good balance of fluff, angst, smut and romance with beautifully written moments and dialogue that give us those tasty character development moments we crave. It’s a nice one to round off your Kuraintrain Ace Attorney binge with (at least for now - as I sincerely hope they write more).
Enjoy!
It’s time for a ‘this fic will live with me’ kind of
Narumitsu Fic Rec
I read this over two days ago and it is still haunting me.
This one is on FanFiction.net and is just amazing. In the aftermath of the Skye vs State trial, circumstances bring Phoenix and Miles closer. Phoenix comes to terms with his sexuality, and Miles comes to terms with his life. Beautifully written, sweet, wonderful banter and on point characterization, warm and tragic. This one really moved me. I wish I had the skills to illustrate some of the scenes. I will never listen to Aida the same way again

This has to be
the slowest burn of petitions…
Knowing that there are over 10,000 Wrightworth/Naturumitsu ship fics alone on Ao3, I’m surprised that it’s taken this petition so long to hit goal!
Am I missing something?
Soooo good!! (and extremely reasonably priced!)

Do you like magatama-based shenanigans written by a Narumitsu master? Who doesn’t?!
Got the notification this morning and proceeded to devour it like the delicious, sweet and funny one-shot cookie that Kantayra’s fics tend to be.

I love this so much. His face! And his face!!
(Phoenix all scruffy and tender 💙 and Miles all grumpy and comfy with his beloved watching his own blorbos ❤️)

So incredibly cute. Love the detail of Trucy’s drawing and magic hat magnet on the fridge.

HAPPY (post) NRMT VALENTINES DAY!!💙💖
Here's a "Post-Valentines Day" story! Hope yall like it! (❤´艸｀❤) Proofreading: @alpin-the-floof ❤
▶ Fanbook project : wip #02
Cover is done!! *slides on the floor* I'll reveal the full picture when I'll start to post the pages.
Btw, for now I can say the story takes place 3 or 4 years after Phoenix's disbarment, I still need to think about the date hmmm.
More details and previews under the cut ⬇️
Speaking of which, I think I figured out how to color the pages with tones like a manga, I always went with just a black and white style, and I've always wanted to try this with a real project. I hope it will look nice 🫣
For now only 2 pages are clean out of 41 *nervous laugh*
Also... as always, I love to put a lot of details on my arts and I went hard with the backgrounds 🥲 I always do this to myself but worth it
And here's Miles trying to deal smoothly with Phoenix's aloof attitude ;_;
See you in the next update! And thank you already for those who are already interested even if I don't reveal much for now 🥺💕
So freakin’ good! A wonderfully written character study and narrative set around the Investigations 2 era, where Miles comes to realize some important things about himself. Highly recommended.
ಠ‿ಠ 👍
to live is to desire, 20k, phoenix wright/miles edgeworth
His troubles truly started, Miles reflected, when he decided to live - because with life came desire, and Miles's desires were troublesome indeed.
in which miles edgeworth fights tooth and nail against his own feelings.
now finished! read chapter 3, or start from the beginning.
Every now and then, I come across a hidden gem of a fic. THIS IS ONE OF THEM!!!!!
Seriously this was written in 2021!? I keep scrolling up and wondering why the stats aren’t higher! The writing is gorgeous, the dialogue is so well written and the tension so delicately crafted. At the end of that last paragraph, I wanted a cuddle!!! Or to give one to the author or writing and sharing this!
More people need to read and appreciate this work. Here is my bit to help with that.
Major and Minor Keys (5848 words) by FlamanZ
Summary: Day 1 of Narumitsu Week 2021: Chains/Locks
Snapshots of a friendship (/more), through the four times Miles uses Phoenix's spare keys. Takes place wholly in the disbarment era. Very tempted to title this "Miles Edgeworth Has Read the Book Holes, and Zero is His Favorite Character." Do with that what you will.
This thing has been lying dormant since 2021. Let’s change that! ✊❤️💙🌈
