Phoenix you and Edgeworth are entirely made of dramatic gestures
Main Points:( parallels )
( this is fine. )
( and Franziska still kind of hates him )
( but perhaps there's a place for her after all )
Happy Father’s Day, and if you don’t celebrate it I hope you have a great day anyway!
Yes there is a Princess Bride reference here. Edgeworth is a nerd.
I think this takes the position of my longest one-shot.
Also if I haven’t made it clear enough, the Japanese honorifics etc for family is because Kurain was settled by Japanese immigrants and they’re still very traditional, so.
I tried searching for punny shopkeeper names and gave up and named her Circe Jewell.
I did think about doing a companion one to the Mother’s Day one for Verdict. Maybe next year.
This entire fic was planned for approximately four days, full-formed. Mostly. I did not plan for the bear.

( a place to belong )
( the answer isn't what he expected )
( different paths )
defense attorney (turnabout histories) miles in the steel samurai case. You’d expect him to be a fanboy disaster. But he is 100% focused and so is maya and they manage not to have a million discussions about how we’re meeting will powers this is so cool until after the fact.
But, like, penny doesn’t have the super rare card cody is looking for. They’re briefly stumped, until Edgeworth has an idea. He brings his rarest card to cody, like, that is a treasure, it’s really hard to collect those cards in their tiny town, it’s from a rare printing and mia bought him the pack and, like, there were literal tears in his eyes and he hugged her and everything. It was super emotional. Mia never gets it, even after she’s a ghost.
And cody’s all dismissive, like, “I’ve already got one!”
and miles does his smug smile, the one he does in court that makes phoenix want to punch him, and is like, “yes, but is yours signed by will powers?” because he took a detour to the jail to get it signed.
And then cody goes “wait, you’re giving this to me?”, like, all suspicious, and miles explains that this is a plot to bring down the steel samurai by framing him for murder and if cody doesn’t tell what he knows the evil magistrate will win. And while it’s a heavy loss, he will mourn this lost card, sometimes those who fight for justice have to make sacrifices for the greater good (like, he mentions a specific episode and probably actually quotes the show, the nerd).
( a needed turnabout )
Also I have a feeling the Steel Samurai is actually a ronin (masterless samurai) and the whole “faceless” getup is so that no one recognizes him in his disgrace. Miles probably has a whole speech about how it’s actually Steel Ronin if you’re being factually accurate but it doesn’t roll off the tongue and the creators obviously wanted the alliteration.

Miles is playing a maxed out Demon’s Touch Cavalier Nekomata in a distinguished grey. He decided on a short samurai ponytail though.
