Summary
You stare up at the gently swaying branches, fractals of light filtering through the space between the canopy, and breathe.
The world breathes with you, in and out, a soft breeze sweeping across the clearing. Grass tickles the back of your neck; you can feel the uncomfortable press of gnarled roots against your spine, and you swear beneath the bark you can feel a heartbeat, a steady thrumming that speaks of life.
It’s all so alive. It’s not the same fabricated, carefully designed set you stood on hours before. There is no stage anymore. The act is over. It’s not haunted by fragments of things left behind in past loops, in your memories, or in other pieces of you torn away from their home and tethered here by the stars. It’s no longer broken, failing, rotting away with the sickening smell of burnt sugar.
It’s. Alive.
… You’re alive.
The air is crisp, the birds cry out, the tree above you waves gently in the wind, and you are alive.
✧✧✧
In which I finally give Siffrin the recovery arc they truly deserve. And by that, I mean a messy one.

Summary
Miles Edgeworth writes a note and leaves. He does not return for a year.
The story of where he goes, and what he does.

It’s a great relief to talk to people and have them not care about what he says. It’s a relief to walk across the grey unforgiving shore and stumble on the rocks. It’s a relief to find himself in this liminal town. It has trapped him in its seasonal existence.Series

Satisfactory (If Not Perfect) by griffonage

Summary
It had started fairly innocuously. A visit back to Los Angeles for a legal conference. An email, to an old address she barely checked anymore, from a girl she remembered a little too well. A subpar oat milk cappuccino in an over-air-conditioned cafe, and Maya Fey across the table from her, going on about something that foolish man had said while she devoured a cupcake with enthusiasm bordering on obscene.
Franziska can't remember what she had been saying. She can remember how Maya had had a small bit of vanilla frosting on her lip. She can remember reaching across the table to smudge it away with her thumb.
What, exactly, had made her take such a step - Franziska does not know. It doesn't really matter. The frosting had been a promise.
And Franziska von Karma does not make empty promises.

Summary
“I’m going to make this good for you,” Phoenix says, an announcement, a statement of fact, like he’s in court, throwing out an accusation like it's bygone, whether he has any evidence to back it up or not.

Summary
The thing is, Miles had been incredibly patient tonight. He had taken every curveball that some sick deity threw at him during the night with almost perfect grace. Finding out Phoenix has had sex with Will Powers, while shocking, is understandable. Who hasn’t thought of it, really? The DeLites? Well, while he’s only attracted to men, he could definitely see the appeal in Desirée. Knowing that Phoenix is bisexual, it doesn’t surprise him in the slightest that he’d be interested in that couple. Lang? Truth be told, that had been more than surprising—having shaken him to his core—but it was understandable, as he’s also had similar interactions with Agent Lang.
The point is, in the end, he still came out triumphant. His precious mind had still been intact—even after everything tried to break it. But this.
This.
Is far more than his poor mind can handle.

Five times Miles finds out about one of Phoenix's past hookups (in the same night) and one time he decides enough is enough.

Summary
"Truce," her dad croaks. He is slumped on the kitchen floor. He's clutching his beanie, which has vomit on it from wiping his mouth. He looks pale, frighteningly so, and he says her name like he might be dying.
That, above all else, is what scares her.
Or, Phoenix falls ill, and thirteen-year-old Trucy is stuck spending the day with someone she doesn't trust.

Summary
Phoenix laughs, more caustic than intended. "I'm not asking for you to play house with me. You're not my other woman."
"Don't make a joke of it," Miles says.
"I'm not. Like," and, oh, he's really underprepared for this situation. If he'd known they'd be getting so deep into the whole feelings thing, he would have made up a mystery illness and stayed in L.A. "I was pretty fucking in love with you. Even during State versus Skye. I mean, I had other stuff on my mind, but it was there."
Or, Phoenix, Miles, the city of Milan, and a fistful of loose ends.

Summary
“And now, without further ado...” Trucy says, with a wide smile and a secretive wink. Her voice sounds even more excited than usual, and Phoenix leans forward as much as he can without moving away from Miles, curious. “I’d like to introduce you all to my lovely assistant for the night! It’s a special guest who we only have for today, so let’s give her a warm, loud welcome!”
“Phoenix,” Miles says urgently, knocking Phoenix’s head off of his shoulder as he turns to look at him, worried.
“... No, absolutely not,” Phoenix says, disbelieving. “She - they wouldn’t, not without telling us.”
The smoke on stage clears, and the lights come back up. Trucy stands in a single spotlight, the rest of the stage dark, and then another spotlight turns on, shining directly on -
“Kaaaaaaaaay Faraday!” Trucy announces, and Kay waves at the audience from where she’s strapped down against a large, wooden wheel.
“They absolutely would,” Miles says, resigned.

Summary
“When he walks by the window in the bathroom, the sky outside is dark and starless, with a tiny breath of warmth amid the bases of buildings at the horizon that says daybreak is kinda thinking of coming soon but hasn't quite made up its mind yet.
Before it even occurs to him that he could do anything else, he's at the peephole, and there on the other side, on his front stoop, is Miles Edgeworth.
And Phoenix can't tell if it's the weird fish-eye effect of the glass between them, or the odd otherworldly tinge to the light at this hour, but he doesn't look so good.”After the events at the Cohdopian Embassy, and quite possibly the worst three days of his life, Miles shows up on Phoenix’s doorstep at four in the morning and demands a denouement.
