hey there!! I’ve been feeding off your content and I was wondering if I could maybe request Miles and Franziska meeting reader’s cat for the first time? 👀 I love cats and I love the Von karma sibs so like *chef kiss*
SAME HAT, ANON!!! bc i am a Cat Person and also love the Von Karma sibs!!! Went ahead and did HCs because cats come in all sorts of personalities.Franziska’s is under the cut! ^^
Miles Edgeworth.
You and Miles enjoyed sharing pictures and stories of your pets, so he knew what your cat looked like along with the general gist of their personality.
However, he’s a bit nervous to meet them because what if they don’t like him? Your cat is very important to you and he wants to make sure he gets this right. He’s had more experience with dogs growing up than cats.
In preparation for coming over to your place where he’d likely meet them for the first time, he looks up information on cat body language.
If your cat’s more of a social or curious sort, he’ll let them come to him to get familiar with him at their own pace.
His expression softens the moment they nudge their face into his hand and demand attention. Your cat already has him wrapped around their paw with that.
If they crawl into his lap, he’ll do everything he can to not disrupt their comfort as he gently strokes them.
Otherwise, he’ll approach them when you’re busy with something and let them sniff his hand.
He’s very careful about petting them and moves slowly, letting them get used to him first before he goes to gently rub their cheek.
However, he’s confident with his handling and feels prouder if he’s able to get them to purr for him.
If your cat tries to play with his frilly neckwear, he’s going to look at you with a flustered, wide-eyed look as he isn’t sure how to kindly pry your cat off. He really doesn’t want holes in his cravat though…
If you bust out a cat toy to use to distract your feline instead, he’d definitely want to try his hand at playing with them if you ask him (he will simply watch and let out a relieved sigh if you don’t offer).
He’s not very good at creating dynamic play, he’s very stiff with his movements but he’s trying his best and it is adorable to watch.
Even cats that are rather asocial save for you are liable to strangely warm up to him very quickly. He’s got a knack for handling cats and befriending them that he didn’t even know about.
Franziska von Karma.
Franziska thinks your cat is adorable and she is more excited to meet them than she lets on. Like Miles, she doesn’t have as much experience with cats, but she trusts that she’ll be able to work with them just as well as she does with dogs or horses.
She will 100% bring some gourmet treats to bribe your cat with to endear herself to them. More than one variety in fact, just in case they’re picky.
If your cat’s more social or curious, you’ll see her face light up when they approach her and she’s quick to offer out her hand to them.
She’s not quite as gentle and cautious as her brother, she likes to use both hands. Especially to rub their cute cheeks, under the chin, and behind the ears.
She’ll even take off her gloves to appreciate their soft fur properly because it’s too irresistible.
Otherwise, she’s quick to hunt your feline down and get acquainted with them.
If they’re of the grumpier sort, she will break out her treats and get them to associate her with something positive and earn their trust.
May initially get swatted out for being too bold, but that does not deter her one bit. She has set her mind to befriending your cat and she is going to do just that! Although she may get very pouty and sulk if your cat doesn’t like her by the end of the first meeting.
After getting more familiar with them, if she thinks you’re out of the room, she will talk to your cat in a sweet voice. Maybe even nuzzle her face against their fur as she compliments how perfect they are.
If you do however witness this side of her and comment on it, she will blush furiously and spit out her denial. What are you talking about? She’d never do such a foolishly foolish thing! Don’t be preposterous…
If you give her one of the wand-based cat toys to play, she will be thoroughly delighted and is liable to wield it in a similar fashion to her whip.
The arcs she sends the toy through are liable to delight your cat and get them all worked up. She is a natural when it comes to playing with cats.
Is absolutely going to spoil your cat rotten, expect to get plenty of high-quality cat treats, toys, and collars (potentially costumes/shirts if your cat enjoys wearing them).
Title: Getaway
Chapter: One-Shot
Pairing: Andy Biersack/Clary/Ben Bruce
Rating: T
Fic Summary: Clary ran away with Andy in a getaway car and she ran away from him the same way.
Author’s Notes: Inspired by “Getaway Car” By Taylor Swift
The morning after Andy and Clary’s break-up, Clary woke up in the arms of Ben. Her sweet, kind hearted, Ben.
Her heart started racing as she sat up. Her stuff was in the bus. “Ben! Ben, wake up”, Clary said shaking him.
“Hmm? What? Clary?” He rubbed his eyes as he sat up.
“I need to leave. Is there a car I could use?”
“Yeah. I think our manager has one”.
“Get me a plane ticket”. She got off the bunk. “Thank you, Ben. Can you have it ready in an hour? I need to get my stuff”. She ran into the living room and said, “What time is Black Veil going on?”
“About one”, James told her.
She pulled out her phone. The boys would be getting ready to get on stage, so if she could time it right she could be gone by the time they came off.
Ben came into the living area. “Your flight leaves in three hours”, he told her, “So you’d better put your plan into action now”.
She kissed his cheek before getting off Asking’s bus and running for Black Veil’s. When she got on the bus, only Jake and CC were there.
“Clary! Oh my god, we were so worried last night!” Jake said.
She walked past them and grabbed her duffel-bag, grabbing her stuff and shoving it inside having serious deja-vu.
“Are you leaving?” CC asked.
“This is gonna kill Andy”, Jake told her.
“He’ll be too drunk to notice that I’m gone”, she said, “Now get out of my way”.
“No. You can’t just leave without an explanation”, Jake argued.
“Jacob Pitts, move before I make you!” Clary yelled, “You want an explanation? I lost my baby. Sure it was a baby that we didn’t really know about, but instead of my boyfriend holding me and telling me everything was going to be okay, he left me in a hospital room alone to go get drunk so he wouldn’t have to deal with it!”
Jake and CC were quiet.
“Fair enough”, Jake said, softly. He stepped aside and let her through.
As Clary was walking back to Asking’s bus, she heard, “CLARY!” She picked up her pace and nearly ran to the car. She knew that if she turned around, she would break down crying.
Andy would somehow convince her to stay and the vicious cycle would start all over again.
The car was already running and she made a mental note to thank Ben when she got to the airport.
As she peeled out of the Warped Tour parking lot, the tears started building up. By the time she hit the highway, she was bawling her eyes out.
This wasn’t the way she saw her life going 3 years ago, but in a way, it shouldn’t have surprised her.
Clary threw her duffel-bag on the bed and started shoving clothes and essentials into it.
It was about 9 p.m. and Andy would be here soon.
She was getting out of this small town and running away with her Romeo.
It was the day after Christmas and Andy turned 18. Their plan was to go to L.A. to pursue Andy’s dream of being a rockstar.
Clary would be turning 18 after the New Year, so her parents had no say in what she did at this point. She heard Andy’s car drive up.
Thankfully he left his headlights off.
Clary tried as quietly as possible to sneak out the front door.
“Where do you think you’re going?” her father asked her.
“Away from you! And this backwards town!” Clary said, storming out the door. She ran for Andy’s car and threw her duffel-bag in the back seat.
“Clary Rose! You get back here right now!” her father yelled.
Neighbors were starting to come out of their homes to see what was going on.
“Go, go, go!” Clary yelled at Andy.
Andy peeled out of the driveway as Clary’s father yelled, “If you leave, don’t bother coming back! He’s just gonna leave you in the end!”
Clary rolled her eyes and laughed as they headed for the highway, thinking her father was crazy. She was head over heels for Andy and he felt the same.
But in a way, her father was right. Although it wasn’t Andy who left first, she did.
Oo, can I request some Pheonix headcanons with a reader that's easily flustered? Ty!!
You sure can!!! Cute request and I hope you enjoy, pal! ^^
Phoenix absolutely and unequivocally adores the fact that you are easily flustered. Every time he sees you stumble over your words or blush or avert your eyes he is all grin and soft eyes. He can’t help himself.
For one, if you’re shy about PDA he will do small things like hold your hand or—even smaller—just brushing his hand up against yours.
He’s always watching you with a careful eye to see even your most subtle reactions. Both to enjoy them, but also to make sure he’s not making you too uncomfortable.
In private, you’re liable to be scooped up into hugs (sometimes from behind if you’re okay with surprises) and he’ll also sneak in some surprise kisses on the cheek too, for good measure.
There’s absolutely going to be a time where you’re just sitting on the couch, minding your own business and he pulls you into his lap, quickly peppering your face with kisses and murmurs of how much he loves you.
Absolutely swoons internally about how precious you are after your exceptionally flustered reaction.
You’re likely to become desensitized to this one eventually because of just how often he pulls this one.
Expect to be called ‘cute’ or ‘adorable’ and other such variations on a regular basis. Because you are to him and he enjoys reminding you of that fact and flustering you even more.
If you share a similar sense of humor to him, he’s liable to bust it out and tease you instead of simply complimenting you.
If you fire back at him, he’s only going to grin more as he returns it in kind, engaging in banter with you until he’s rendered you speechless.
His apology will come in the form of giving you a chaste kiss on the lips.
Of course, he’s not one to push you too far, he has a pretty good sense of where the line is without you even needing to say anything.
He always keeps a close eye on your body language and will apologize if he feels as if he goes too far.
He will always stop if you ask him to, he’s just a very affectionate man with a whole lot of love to give who thinks your flustered expressions are adorable.
And if anyone else is pushing you out of your comfort zone he will immediately flip into protective mode and shut it down.
ahhh hallo!! It’s 🌺 anon! I hope i’m not overloading you when requests have only just opened them again but if it’s okay for me to request something then could I maybe request scenarios for Miles and Simon where reader catches them talking softly to their pets? I’m weak for the one shot you wrote with Miles teaching Pess to object ahhhhh the way he talks to him is so cute but also so in character
!!! 🌺 anon, no worries! When requests are open you are hardly overloading me. And I’m more than happy to write something for you, thank you for all the fun messages you’ve sent me, too, I’ve appreciated each of them. 💚 Miles is so soft for his dog……. I actually contemplated making that one a reader insert by having him get caught just like this, but I decided to not to for that piece since I was happy with how it turned out (so you can imagine how happy I was to see this request, haha). We’re on the same wavelength, you and I!Simon’s under the cut. ^^
Miles Edgeworth.
The gentle thrum of rain pattering on the roof fills your ears as you return with an elegant cup of tea warming each of your hands. Comforting. However, none of it as soothing as the voice coming from the living room.
You pause in the archway, smiling at the sight of Miles seated on the loveseat with Pess seated in his lap, scratching him behind the ears as he talks to his beloved pet in a low, serious tone of voice. The usual sharpness of his glare was absent, a gentle smile taking its place.
“—you’re the most adorable creature I have ever seen. You are absolute perfection.”
You try and bit down on your bottom lip to prevent yourself from ruining such an adorable scene, but you can’t help yourself. Teasing him is too easy and he’s the most adorable creature you’ve ever seen when he blushes.
“Even more adorable than me?” you ask, voice pitched with mock hurt as you cross the room.
Miles jumps, clearly having lost track of time doting on his dog while you were so kindly preparing the tea. The blush that blooms across his face would make even the burgundy turtleneck he was wearing envious. He splutters, words not coming to him like they do when he’s in court. Not only had he been caught talking to his dog, but you were teasing him, too, and with an impossible question no less. He was thoroughly out of his element and it made him all the cuter.
You let out a light laugh as you sit down beside him and pat Pess on the head, not taking your eyes off of his owner all the while. “I’m just kidding, Miles.”
“Urk, o-of course… Thank you for the tea.” The tension seems to ebb from his shoulders as he gingerly takes his cup of tea from you, giving it a tentative sip as your smile twists into a Cheshire grin.
“Pess is cuter… but you’re the cutest. Talking to your dog like that when I didn’t think it was possible for you to become any cuter…”
He chokes on his drink and you let out a triumphant laugh before cuddling up to his side and giving him a quick peck on the cheek as an apology.
Simon Blackquill.
Simon’s normally better about sensing your presence, the door to his office is cracked open (just enough to peer in, but not enough to slip inside). However, his customary ‘Come in’ does not ring out, instead you can hear him talking. Most likely a phone call, you decide. It’s when you raise your hand to rap your knuckles against the door that you pick up on what he’s saying and begin to eavesdrop for just a little bit to see if you should come back later.
“—bloody excellent job in court today. Did you see that bumbling oaf’s face when you descended upon him? Priceless.“ He chuckles, but a thoughtful pause follows as his voice grows faint, fondness blurring the usual edges. “But not as priceless as you, of course. I don’t know where I’d be without you…”
That’s definitely not a phone call. Your heart skips a beat in your chest as you push the door open. Sure enough, there’s a brief moment where you catch him in the act of scratching Taka under his beak.
Simon is quick to spin toward you in his chair (his hawk startling slightly at the sudden movement), expression softening into a genuine smile as he sees you before quickly turning as sharp as some of the blades displayed on the wall—cheeks reddening ever so slightly.
“Ah, eavesdropping were we?”
Your smile must have given you away, but you shrug in response. “…Perhaps I did, but perhaps I’m just happy to see you. Have you ever thought of that?”
“How coy,” he says, colorlessly. “You know, eavesdropping is a dangerous habit to have. One of the lads a few cells down from me told me that he eavesdropped on his business partner and heard that he was extorting money… I’m sure you can imagine what happened next for him to end up in the same part of the clank as me.”
“How riveting,” you fire back, crossing the room as you finally have the high ground in teasing him. “But… this time I overheard my boyfriend being an absolute softie for his birdie. Hardly grounds for inspiring murder…outside of maybe killing you with kisses, anyways.”
He glares at you, but the blotches of red breaking out across his face betray his feelings. “Hmph. I’d like to see you try.”
What about Edgeworth and Gumshoe (seperately) making their crush laugh, and reacting to their crush's laughter?
i’m very happy that i got a request for both of these lads making their crush laugh and then their crush making them laugh. very cute to get both sides of it. ;;w;;Also Miles’s does have an AAI/Turnabout Reminiscence reference to some flavor text because he has so many funny, iconic lines in that episode. And Gumshoe’s is also an AAI flavor text reference, but not as direct. Can you guys tell I really like AAI’s dialogue???
Miles Edgeworth.
He can’t help but ponder upon how little things change, yet simultaneously are completely different. There’s a sense of deja vu as he stands in front of the vending machine with you at his side—during a recess for a court for a trial that is going well in his pursuit for the truth. So different and yet…
“’Defendant’s fresh milk’…?” you ask, making a face as you look over to him. “That’s… what does that even mean?! That they confiscate bottles of milk from defendants and resell it here?”
There’s a moment of silence as Miles contemplates how to respond to that. With most people, perhaps he would have. Yet with you, everything comes easier and the pull of nostalgia is too tempting. Humor isn’t his strong suit, but he feels completely safe
“Ah yes, I’ve thought about this a great deal and that’s not out of the realm of possibility,” he says, looking at you with a hint of a smile quirking up the corners of his lips. “But I think it might mean that it was milked from the various defendants of this very court, fresh each morning, of course.”
You gawk at him for a moment, shocked, before bursting out into laughter. Miles’s eyes snap open at the sound as he stares at you, utterly awestruck by the sound. However, his mouth presses into an uneven line as he forces himself to look away, gripping his left arm as he does so. The blush that sets alight across his face spreads to the tips of his ears.
“You should make jokes more often, Miles.”
“…Nngh, perhaps…”
…if it means making you laugh like that again, of course.
Dick Gumshoe.
It’s not intentional. It often isn’t with him. He simply comes over to your place for the first time, only to freeze in the doorway and stare up at your ceiling, his dark brown eyes darting around and around as he follows the rotation of the fan’s blades. It’s as if he’s entranced by it. You have to bite down on your bottom lip to bite back a giggle as you wait for him to say something.
He’s just too cute.
“Is that one of them ‘ceiling fans,’ pal?”
“…Yeah?” You look between him and the fan, equal parts puzzled and amazed. “Dick, have you… not seen a ceiling fan before?”
He scratches the back of his head as he thinks, a hint of pink coloring his cheeks. “Not one in motion, anyways. Mr. Edgeworth told me about them once, though.”
“Well, now you have.” You place your hands on your hips and give him a smile. “There’s a first time for everything, right?”
He perks right back up at that, flashing you a grin paired with a nod. “Right! Anyways, I brought my trusty checkers board like you asked.”
It isn’t until a while later, that the two of you are seated and playing a game of checkers when you catch him doing it. You’d just made your move and look up, expecting Dick to be ready to make his next move as he has so far (each time.
He isn’t.
Instead, he’s staring up at your ceiling fan again. Only this time, it’s not just his eyes following it. It’s his entire head, bobbing around in a circular motion as he watches the fan above, utterly transfixed.
It’s too much, he’s too adorable and ridiculous and perfect. Even though you bring a hand up to try and muffle the sound, your laugh escapes your throat—loud and true. It’s enough to snap his attention away from the piece of novel technology (to him, at least) up on your ceiling. He blinks at you, eyebrows drawing upwards in his dazed confusion. Not quite understanding what it is you’re laughing at...and he’s also a little dizzy.
But as you laugh more, his expression softens into raw adoration and he can’t help but chuckle some, himself... Even if he doesn’t know what you’re laughing at. It doesn’t matter, not with the way you’re looking at him and the sound of your sweet laughter filling his ears.
The way you’re looking at him makes his heart do flips in his chest. Whatever it is he did, he’s glad he did it and he hopes that he can keep making you laugh like that again and again.
Hey! I love your blog! Could you do HCs for home life with Phoenix, Trucy, and his fem!s/o who acts as Trucy’s mother figure? The reader would absolutely love Trucy and would do anything for her! Very sweet and wholesome family content💕 and maybe Trucy shipping the reader with Phoenix because she thinks they’re cute together? Much love to ya!💕 (Hope this is the right time! Yes I was waiting by my phone... you’re my favorite blog hehe)
Trucy getting another parent fuels me, i love it. This is more of a general combination? (alksjdfalksdjfdfs ;;;w;;; thank u!!! i always smile when i see you in my notifications, so thank u for that.)Feat. Fem!Reader
Trucy’s a very perceptive little lady and could read her father’s interest in you right from the start.
She likes you a lot, so of course she’s going to be hoping that the two of you get together! And doing what she can to help nudge the two of you closer together.
It’s already not uncommon for her to joke with him about finding her a new mommy, but after you enter the picture she’s more likely to do so after he’s just spent some time with you. She’s not subtle.
And she’s bold so you can expect to witness some of these jokes for yourself, too, once you and Phoenix get closer.
She comes to view you as a maternal figure very early on into your relationship with her father.
She kind of cleaves to you, because she never really knew her mother. It fills a void in her life. She’s very self-reliant and mature beyond her years, so it’s not exactly a typical parental relationship.
While she may cling to you early on, it takes a lot longer to build up enough trust that you’re here to stay for her to show her more vulnerable side to you.
Her default parental term for you is going to be ‘Mommy’ but she’ll call you by any term you prefer if you just ask her!
Trucy lives to impress you, she loves showing off her tricks for you and making you smile. She always goes a bit harder during her magic shows when she knows you’re in the audience.
May sometimes ask you to be her assistant if you’d be comfortable with that! She’s laxer with you than she is with Apollo or Athena, but she still has Expectations.
Slowly but surely, over the course of your relationship with Phoenix, your home becomes more and more of a chaotic mess in spite of your best efforts.
A lot of her magic tricks end up in your home... and in your car. Everywhere, basically. You can try to contain them, but somehow they always manage to get everywhere, as if by magic.
Weekly movie nights are absolutely a thing. Each of you take turns choosing movies and settling down on the sofa, all sharing a blanket and a bowl of popcorn with Trucy sat in-between you and Phoenix.
Sometimes you may end up putting it on and playing a board or card game instead. Usually something like LIFE, UNO, or Monopoly depending on what you’re into.
Trucy is ridiculously good at board games and card games, her luck is unparalleled. She’s always a very good sport if you or Phoenix do manage to beat her for once, but she will tease both of you if you lose. It’s all very good natured, her father and her just really have that dynamic.
Please give her all the hugs. This is non-negotiable. She will hug you if you don’t. Her and Phoenix are both hugging machines and family hugs are going to be commonplace.
She loves being sandwiched between you and her father, it’s just... so nice to have two wonderful parents? She may tear up from her happiness at times.
Bonus points if you’re strong and can pick her up and spin her around, even as she gets older. She loves it so much??? Phoenix will do it sometimes, too.
She loves learning things from you, if you have any hobbies she’s absolutely going to want to learn everything about it from you! Along with doing the activity together.
If it’s something like a yarn art hobby, she’s going to put all her time and effort into making you all matching scarves and then sweaters. She starts with her own so it’ll be the wonkiest, because she wants the ones she gives to you and Phoenix to be the best they can be.
Cooking meals together as a family is also very common, especially before Phoenix gets his attorney’s badge back. It’s a tradition that’s near and dear to her heart.
She’ll often do magic tricks for you and make ingredients or things you no longer need disappear in her magic panties.
They will absolutely start a flour fight and derail whatever it is you’re making for a solid chunk of time. It happens every time and they will drag you into their chaos.
Phoenix often looks at the two of you interacting with a delighted, loving smile on his face. It makes him so happy that you love Trucy as much as he does and view her as your own daughter.
He was honestly pretty anxious about whether or not his single father status would break any romantic interest you had in him, he can’t help but feel a bit silly about it in retrospect whenever he watches the two of you act so close together.
He just loves you both so much??? You’re both the light for him in his darkest times and help keep him going. He’s incredibly doting and is always sure to make time for you both as a result.
Honestly, she loves you just as much as you love her! And she’d do anything to put a smile on your face. You’re a very close-knit family and everything she ever wanted in her parents.
Angst Gremlin here (although this request really isn't angst) Apollo, Dick, Miles, Phoenix (and or Simon/Nahyuta's) reaction to noticing someone following/stalking (Possible yandere or serial killer) the reader? (I kinda feel like they should have stalked the reader for awhile) How would they handle the situation? Or a reaction to the reader being attacked?
Putting this one under a readmore to be safe!Characters: Apollo Justice, Dick Gumshoe, Miles Edgeworth, Phoenix Wright, Simon Blackquill, and Nahyuta SahdmadhiContent Warning: Stalking and mentions of the reader being physically assaulted. Stalking is usually done by someone the victim knows in some capacity, so I went more from that angle.Also a little spoiler warning for a reference to a major plot point in AAI2 for Miles’s. It’s incredibly short, vague, and doesn’t have any specific details, but if you want to remain entirely spoiler free for the last act you may wanna pass on his.
Apollo Justice.
Apollo’s endured a great deal of loss, so this is something he takes incredibly seriously right from the get-go after you tell him. He sensed that there was something making you tense, but this certainly isn’t what he was expecting.
Would make the most of his working relationship with Klavier to draw it to the prosecutor’s office’s attention and get some help in going through all the legal motions to get you the help you need.
While he doesn’t want to infringe upon your freedom and feels guilty, he’s going to insist he walks or bikes you wherever you need to go. Even if he’s really busy, he’s going to take the time to make sure you are safe.
Does what he can to help improve the privacy and safety of your house, too.
He’s going to be very stubborn about making sure you have someone you trust around to keep you safe at all times. Even if it’s not him, he wants you to have friends over or just... somebody you can trust.
He’ll send you a lot of check-in texts over the course of the day whenever he can’t be with you.
If you were attacked, he’d be beside himself and wouldn’t leave your side if he could help it. A lot of tears are shed between the both of you.
He puts his trust in Klavier that whoever did this to you is going to get the punishment that they deserve.
It takes a while after for him to feel like everything’s fine again.
Dick Gumshoe.
Dick’s not going to be letting you out of his sight until this guy’s locked up. He’s quick to get Mr. Edgeworth on board and get you set up for a restraining order.
When your stalker violates it, it quickly turns into a criminal case and he’s very insistent on being on the case—he wants to make this arrest himself.
As much as he doesn’t want to use his gun, he’s sure to keep it on him. He’s got an excellent aim and he’s not about to let any harm come your way.
Insists that he should drive you to and from places in his jalopy, it’s not like he has a personal car anyways, but he hopes that making it clear that you’re close with a member of the police will help.
Is extra cuddly with you and does everything he can to try and cheer you up and keep your spirits high while the investigation continues.
He’ll even loan you his favorite, lucky coat if it helps you feel safer or more secure whenever he’s at work. You need it more than he does right now and he trusts you with it.
If you’re attacked, he’d be incredibly harsh on himself because he feels like he failed to protect you. He’s a mess.
He’s not going to leave your side, either, but it takes a lot of reassurance from both you and Mr. Edgeworth to console him.
Afterward, he’s going to be very overprotective of you for a while after. You mean the world to him.
Miles Edgeworth.
Miles is no stranger to having a stalker, but the nature of yours is highly concerning to him and he’s going to immediately launch into helping you get a restraining order. Helping you file it, himself, and collecting any evidence of potential violations afterward.
It quickly becomes a criminal case and he handles the investigation himself. Even if he’s not assigned to it, this may be another instance of an illegal investigation from him.
In the meantime, he’d be very supportive of you participating in some self-defense classes and will even join you (in fact, he insists that he should).
Does what he can to help you focus on other things and will invite you to spend the night more often over at his place. Even if it’s just to cuddle.
He’s subtle about it, but all of these things ensure that you’re close at hand and in a secure location to give you both some peace of mind.
He’s working himself ragged to get this mess sorted out, but he makes sure you’re informed of all he’s doing every step of the way.
If you’re attacked, he’s going to throw everything he has into the investigation. He will not rest until the arrest is made… the only time he rests, at all, is when he visits you.
He’s very much a mother hen toward you, doting on you in his own way. He’s just thankful you’re alive.
Phoenix Wright.
Phoenix is highly concerned and does what he can to notify the police and help you file any necessary reports. He does the paperwork for you and is a huge moral support, especially when the stalker continues to violate it and stay off the grid.
Despite the smile puts on, he’s incredibly worried for your safety and is ready to do anything in his power to keep you safe.
Does everything he can to keep you close and to also keep your mind off of things. You’re more liable to end up spoiled during this time period.
He’s always got at least one arm around you and he will be very encouraging of you staying over at his place or him coming over to yours.
It’s times like these that make him wish that he had a proper car and driver’s license, his bike is hardly ideal but
And you better believe that he is fully ready to put himself in harm’s way at any moment to buy you time to get out of there or, ideally, to harm your stalker and buy enough time for the police to arrive so they can be apprehended in the act.
If you’re attacked, he’ll feel terrible that he wasn’t there when you needed him the most.
He’s going to be even clingier than he has been lately
He has Edgeworth fill him in on what’s going on with the investigation, but unless you ask he’ll keep that to himself. You’ve been through enough as it is.
Simon Blackquill.
He seems perfectly calm and collected on the outside, but on the inside he is seething. And continues to the bolder and bolder your stalker grows as they continue to violate your restraining order.
He knows the particular type of stalker you have, he talked with a particularly despicable one while he was in prison.
He does what he can to engage your stalker in a rather one-sided game of psychological warfare, doing things like sharpening his swords where he knows your stalker is likely to see him.
You’re going to have a sword or two in easy to grab places around your house and he teaches you how to wield them.
Taka’s usually with you during this period of time, providing you both comfort and protection.
He’ll have it set up so you know how to care for his beloved bird and can keep him as a companion overnight when Simon isn’t able to be with you.
If you’re attacked, he’s going to be equal parts guilt and rage. Clearly, he failed you as both a prosecutor and a partner to allow this to happen… especially if you were together before the UR-1, as he’s put you through enough suffering as it is.
He terrifies the nursing staff tending to you, but he rarely (if ever) lets go of your hand.
And he’s going to be especially vicious during any interrogations the creep’s going to be put through.
Nahyuta Sahdmadhi.
He is incredibly alarmed by this revelation and uses his position to investigate this case himself, along with providing you with the customary legal protections in Khura’in for someone in your position. Of course, it doesn’t deter your stalker.
His father trained him in how to detect when he’s being followed (knowledge that has served him well over the years), he passes that knowledge onto you.
He also shows you all the Defiant Dragon hiding spots and secret passages that he knows of when he’s confident the two of you are not being followed.
And he will train you in some basic martial arts sparring techniques and, if you demonstrate adequate spiritual potential, how to wield prayer beads as he does.
For your psychological well-being, he encourages you to meditate and will treat you to some of your favorite food as often as he can.
He always lends you a sympathetic ear
When he senses that you’re being watched, he’ll walk closer to you and place a hand on the small of your back.
If you’re attacked, he will pray to the Holy Mother for your well-being until it is confirmed that you will be okay. He brings you flowers each day, but he is hellbent on capturing them before you are discharged from the medic’s.
He will pursue this foul foe and ensure that due justice is swiftly dealt to keep you out of harm’s way. He will not abide by anyone harming his loved ones.
I love your writing! Pre UR-1 Athena letting it slip how happy the heart of Simon's crush is whenever they're around him (Reader asked Athena to keep it secret). The same happens again post incarceration.
Thank you! ;w; I tweaked this a little bit in terms of Athena’s intentionality in the second part, but I hope you enjoy it, regardless.
You’re very aware of the fact that you’re not alone in the little robotics lab the moment you enter. Athena’s giggles as she plays with Ponco make that very clear, but your full attention immediately focuses on Simon. He's standing in front of the sword displays (he was almost certainly admiring them earlier), he gives you a nod in greeting, a gentle smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
“Thank you for coming. My apologies for making you come all the way up here yet again. I hope it wasn’t too much of a hassle, with security and all.”
The sight of his smile is enough to make your heart skip a couple of beats.
“It’s not a problem! I’m always happy to join you for one of your lessons, even with short notice.” Getting to learn from Metis is always a treat, but you also just enjoy spending time with him. Especially because—
“You’re always happy to see Simon’s smile, too!” Athena chimes in, flashing you a brilliant grin as she says what your heart was screaming out.
However, you don’t return it with a grin of your own. Instead, you stare at her in a panic, face on fire and heart hammering with alarm at the realization that she just said something you made her promise not to say in front of him. You can’t look at Simon right then, you don’t want to know how he’s handling hearing that.
Of course, Athena immediately seems to deflate as your expression jogs her memory, she pouts and her blue eyes begin to tear up from her guilt.
“…I-I’m sorry, I wasn’t supposed to say that… even if Simon’s heart says the same thing about you.”
(Wait. What!?)
You hear him splutter and whip your head around to finally steal a look at him. There’s a light color to his cheeks as he delivers a rather steely stare to Athena, unwilling to look at you. Does this mean that he feels the same way about you?
Athena’s hands clap over her mouth, muffling her next words, “Oh—! Sorry! I-I wasn’t supposed to say that either...!”
The doors open once again and Metis enters, looking between the three of you with a raised brow. Quickly, you and Simon turn your attention onto her, grateful for the distraction, but you can’t help but feel a bit bad for hurting Athena’s feelings. She was just trying to help, after all.
The two of you will have to talk about that later.
A couple of months have passed since Simon’s finally found his freedom, but not his way back to you. Or you to him, for that matter. You’ve been keeping your distance, uncertain about where the two of you stood.
Even after all these years, you still care about him. Even after he left letter after letter you sent him unanswered... with all of the distance that grew between the two of you... you can’t forget about him or the relationship you shared.
It was easier to rationalize the distance while he was in prison, knowing Simon there were so many reasons that he’d avoid you. None of them made it hurt any less, of course, but they at least gave you some comfort in knowing he had a reason that wasn’t simply he didn’t love you anymore.
However, now that he’s out of prison, you’re struggling. It feels like there are too many walls between the two of you, now. Just that they’re not physical ones, anymore. And it’s worse. Because maybe he doesn’t love you anymore. It’s been so long... it seems like a distinct possibility.
Perhaps you’re just clinging to the phantom of a relationship that no longer exists.
You stare into the cup of instant coffee Athena had so kindly prepared for you, the silent atmosphere between you and Simon tense enough to cut with a blade. A lull in the conversation as Athena tries to find something else to talk about with the two of you, her eyes dart between where you are next to her and Simon on the couch across the way—the bright red jacket thrown over the back behind him.
No matter how hard she’s tried to get you two to say the words for yourselves, you won’t. You’re both too stubborn and care too much about the other to dredge up what you believe the other has left behind. Literal months have passed and you’re both still hurting when you don’t have to—when you can be together again.
“This is SO ridiculous!” Widget says, flashing red as it breaks the silence.
Both you and Simon look to her and the way he narrows his eyes is enough to set her into action before he can cut her off with one of his ‘hmphs.’
She lunches forward, slamming her hands down on the coffee table, finally having enough of watching the two of you hurt yourselves with misunderstanding after misunderstanding. “Simon, can’t you see?! Their heart’s crying out their love for you! They don’t know if you feel the same way because you won’t tell them and you keep acting all tough and aloof! They miss you...!”
Your face is aflame as you finally lean forward and place a hand on her shoulder, not wanting her to say anything further. “Athena, please—”
“—No! I know I said I’d keep this quiet, but I can’t watch the two of you hurt in silence like this any longer. He wants to apologize for everything he feels like he put you through, he feels guilty but happy... happy whenever you’re around! Just like you feel with him. And it’s exactly like you always used to be!”
You feel lightheaded as you pull your hand away from her and force yourself to look at him... only to find that he’s already looking at you at that time. From under the bird’s nest he calls ‘bangs,’ you can see his eyes are wide with surprise and his cheeks are flushed pink under the dark stains on his cheeks.
The silence between you is no longer stifling in its discomfort, instead, there’s an energy there surging through the air. Your heart’s pounding against your ribcage as you set down the cup of coffee with your trembling hand, unable to take your eyes off of him. As if he’d vanish the moment you did...
Athena stands up and places her hands on her waist, feeling a bit bad about blurting out your secrets like that, but trusting that it would be for the best. “I’m... gonna let the two of you talk.”
The moment the door closes behind her, Simon gets up and crosses over to sit next to you on your sofa. There’s so much you each want to say, but instead, he brings a hand up to the side of your face, thumb tenderly caressing your cheek before he closes the distance to press his lips against yours. A shudder runs down your spine as you eagerly return it.
Tears sting behind your eyelids as your hands come up to cup each side of his face, thumbs quickly wiping away the drops that were already starting to stream down his face—not allowing them to darken the stains there.
The two of you will have to talk about everything shortly.
