Chapter Summary: A quick glimpse at the relationship between Jet and Spike.

Word Count: 300
Rating: Teen
possibly pre-Jet/Spike?  There's some flirting and attraction there at least

         Spike isn’t allowed in Jet’s room. The excuse had been Spike’s grubby mitts and the possibility he’d make off with whatever remained of Jet’s worldly possessions. Somewhere along the line it turned out they were sharing whatever remained, aside from maybe some stuff about Jet’s daughter. The real reason, and they both knew that despite it never being said out loud, eventually became that Spike might be a lazy son of a bitch, but even when he was acting casual, those sharp eyes saw too much. Being seen like that was uncomfortable, and Jet knew that even while they’d become friends, maybe, or something maybe just as close but not as easily defined, that was still a step too far, a little too personal. It’s why he never took Spike’s poking fun too personally, because it helped reestablish those boundaries even when he griped right back.
         Spike, meanwhile, has a room but almost exclusively refuses to stay there. He’ll haphazardly toss his things, whatever he does pick up (Jet doesn’t ask questions, just in case Spike’s possible pickpocketing exploits or kleptomaniac tendencies land him on a bounty sheet someday) all over the goddamn ship. Jet complains that it’s worse than picking up after his kid used to be, Spike fires back, “Yeah, but she wasn’t so pretty, right?”, and Jet deadpans, “Much prettier,” to which Spike will shrug and comment something about being a dad. He’ll also jokingly call Jet “daddy”, now and then. Jet’s pretty sure it’s at least partly serious, that for a secretive guy like Spike letting an ex-cop snoop around his things (or trip over them) is an asshole method of a trust fall, but he’s not in a position he can even afford to move under anything less than an all in, for both sides.

        Mr. Wright, Miles muses one sentimental morning into his teacup, is much like an earthquake.
        He will, of course, never utter this to his friend, who would undoubtedly take it incorrectly, but it is true.  He’s not afraid of Wright, not really, but the man has a habit of barging into his life unexpectedly and shaking his world apart, and he’s not always the best at adapting in the wake of such things.
        But—he’s also like his namesake.  For all the destructive force and raw, terrifying power, Phoenix only ever wants to renew, to burn and tear down that which need not be kept, that which contributes nothing to the world, in order to coax out new life.
        Doubtless he would laugh, would rub a hand at the back of his spikes and disavow any power he held.  But it would not make any of this any less true.
        Edgeworth, of course, is in awe of this power.  In awe, and sometimes he feels his own powers of adaptability are woefully inadequate, but never once has he felt afraid of the man himself (well, no, perhaps that is a lie, perhaps, early on after their reunion, but no more).

Summary: How to avoid getting bit.
Word Count: 320
Rating: Teen (Majima)

        Everyone knows that the Mad Dog of Shimano is hardly all bark and no bite.  There are those who think he means to bite, every time; he just gets distracted.  There are those, of course, who thought his reputation was a dog's shadow in firelight.  He took great care in introducing them to the Demonfire Dagger.
        His boys, who are the closest, know the truth.  If he's all high and manic, you've got a 50/50 chance, and you can increase your odds of making it out relatively unscathed by taking responsibility and offering to make it right in a way that he'll trust you to follow through.  If his voice goes low and deep, you're screwed, as he one hundred percent will follow through or die trying, and in most cases he means to inflict death.
        When Shimano had been alive, he'd also follow every order like the obedient rabid dog he is.  Might get a bit creative about the how, but he'd been so trusted by Shimano because he got the job done.
        There's other indicators of things you should steer far clear of.  Hurting people he cares about, for one.  Tacky things, like pulling in civilians, especially women and children.  Littering, that's a big one.  The biggest on the list, separated out by just how bad of an idea it is, is messing with Kiryu-san.  You only do that under orders, and if you get the hankering to up the ante, maybe run the idea by the Boss, just to be safe.  They're probably the only people in Kamurocho that have memorized both the trademark outfit and the face and steer clear unless the Boss has a new stunt he really wants to try, like the zombie thing, shaking their heads even as they enjoy the action and occasionally taping Kiryu-san's fights against less sensible yakuza or civilians who should really know a legend when they see one.

Summary: Bones sees more than Kirk thinks--things like the fact that the love and attraction isn't a one-sided deal.  That Kirk is showing uncharacteristic restraint in holding back, because he thinks he'll break Bones, extra lives or not.  But he also sees things the wizard doesn't--like they're equally broken, equally likely to break each other, but also that it all might be worth it in the end.

madimpossibledreamer: Jiraiya|Yosuke jumping and using a throwing star (jiraiya|yosuke)
From what I’ve heard Japanese society doesn’t understand the difference between aro and ace because they think they’re always linked. This does not prevent one or the other from occurring on its own. It just makes it that much harder for ace people in Japan (who aren’t very well accepted to begin with, according to what I read).
I’m freely mixing canons, including the Animation. That being said, I’m using Souji because a) I like Souji as a first name more than Yu and since I’m not using last names (of which I like Narukami better) that’s what’s going to show up more and b) I headcanon Souji’s parents as absent but loving and Narukami’s as more abusive. (Also based on the differences in where they’re used I headcanon Narukami as slightly more heteronormative in both good and bad ways. I forgot how much worse the animation makes the camping trip than the game.)
Featuring: two clueless guys who don’t know about being aro, ace, demisexual, or possibly neurodivergent or trans, and a Yosuke who hasn’t realized he’s in love. Souji realizes and gets that the timing is completely off.
there might be hints of the brilliant game adventures with anxiety! though i'm not probably as good about presentation as that game.
Note: friends are not a substitute for a therapist, but they’re also clueless about mental health, so what’re you gonna do?


Main Points:

Chapter Summary:
yosuke is possibly neurodivergent in this one. also possibly on the ace spectrum.  and with a larger dose of his usual anxiety/depression/self-hatred and possibly some pre-souji/yosuke.  also souji also has his own problems in this one.
Word Count: 2350
Rating: Teen
Warning: As the notes above indicate, Yosuke's mental health in this one is...not great.  He has anxiety and probably depression.  also discussion of theoretical pregnancy which might be a bit much right now, depending on where you're at.  Proceed at your own discretion, and please seek out resources if you need them!

Yosuke tells Souji there's something wrong with him. Souji disagrees. )

        “In the name of my grandfather, we’ll solve this case!”  Kyoko exclaims.  Her brother would roll his eyes at her fondly.  Yagami-san just smiles, though he’s a bit bemused.  As usual.
        “Well, I’m always impressed by your enthusiasm,” he states, and—oh yeah, he hadn’t read the classics.  Why would he have read manga?
        She points a ‘threatening’ finger at him.  “You have homework to do, Yagami-san.”
        He salutes.  “Yes, ma’am.”  It’d be mocking if he didn’t actually mean it.

Based on what I’m pretty sure was a panic attack followed by a postdrome sort of thing earlier in the week. It veered off into some weird territory in the end but I think I was needing the fluff, and I’m keeping it because I really like some of the dialogue.
...this song.  this song.  I just started looking at Tokio Hotel because I've got
Übers Ende Der Welt on my Turnabout Histories playlist for Klavier, noticed the title and went...huh...and then google translated the lyrics and went huh, because this song is all of Klavier's anxiety and breakdown in the wake of the end of Apollo Justice, and the feels.  The feels.  Also it's perfect for this fic, so.  Ja.

Main Points:

Chapter Summary: Klavier's acting a bit off.

Pairing: Klavier has a crush on Apollo that he hasn't managed to convince him is legit yet.  Partly because Apollo has observation powers and still manages to miss the obvious.
Warning: brief flashback to Kristoph being Kristoph.
any German is a mix of the dreaded google translate and really, really old personal memory (like, elementary school lessons), please hit me with any constructive criticism or corrections
