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).
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.
A murder happens and s/o tries to save the victim but fails and gets injured in the process. I want to see how that'll affect Gumshoe, Miles, and Simon when investigating and how they'd treat the prime suspect and culprit (prime suspect doesn't have to be innocent btw). Maybe some light hurt/comfort between them too when the case is over.
For the sake of writing, Reader was injured to the point of being rendered unconscious for the initial day (an investigation day!) and doesn’t come to until late into the first trial day. For Gumshoe’s and Edgeworth’s, they serve as a decisive witness in terms of testimony on day two after coming straight to the courthouse from the hospital. Prime suspect is the culprit in each one! Wanted to keep these consistent. ^^Hope you enjoy, pal! Miles and Simon are under the cut!
Dick Gumshoe.
Detective Gumshoe is very protective of his friends and especially so of his romantic partner.
So when a bad guy not only kills somebody, but hurts his partner in the process, too? It’s personal, pal.
Will not rest until the person who did such a terrible thing is locked up and you’re safe again.
He uses his height and stature to try and intimidate the culprit because he’s convinced of their guilt (all of the evidence points to them, after all!). Additionally, he’ll be harsher on the subordinate officers on scene, as well, yelling at them and ordering them around as if it was second nature to him.
He’s just very much on edge and uncharacteristically prone to snapping, like a certain K-9 unit. The junior officers steer clear of him as much as possible when he’s like this, not wanting to get yelled at.
Edgeworth has to scold him and remind him that he needs to keep his act together if they want to get this villain locked up.
This poor man gets absolutely no sleep as he juggles between spending as much time with you in the hospital during your short stay there.
He looks exhausted and worn down whenever he’s at the hospital, just holds onto your hand like it’s his lifeline.
After he gets the call that you’ve woken up, he rushes down to the hospital after picking up a bouquet of discounted flowers. Cries upon seeing you really are all right and scoops you into a hug, careful of your injuries (but not mindful of the bouquet, which he crushes, oops).
Once the conviction is handed down, Gumshoe sweeps you out of the courtroom and back home.
He is very big on comfort cuddles and will probably take the first day afterwards off just to spend it sleeping and cuddling in bed with you.
Will make you weenies and attempt to make any of your other favorite foods (or try to! they’re always made with love!).
He picks you up from work and is just always escorting you places, wanting to be there for you in case something like that ever happens again. His worry slowly eases as things stay normal, though, but he’ll keep up with it as long as you need to feel safe.
Probably encourages you to maybe take a self-defense class or at least let him teach you some moves from police training for some peace of mind in the future.
Miles Edgeworth.
Prosecutor Edgeworth remains focused on finding the truth, as always, but with a greater urgency because he needs to get to the bottom to what happened to you.
Is thoroughly convinced that the defendant committed this heinous crime, hurting you in the process, but he does his best to not let his biases color the investigation.
The more evidence he finds, the more convinced he becomes that the police have the correct individual.
And thus, the colder he becomes toward the suspect in question as he engages them in games of logic. Trying to find holes in their narratives and logic.
Despite looking like he’s keeping it together, those close to him can tell that he’s having a rough time. The furrow between his brow is deep and he tends to stare off, lost in thought more regularly.
As much as he hates not being able to be with you in the hospital, he needs this investigation to be overseen with great care.
When he is there the first night, he simply stares at you feeling utterly helpless.
Once the first day of the trial is finished and he checks his phone to see a notice that you’ve woken up, he makes his way to the hospital posthaste.
The sentimentalities come after he makes sure you are absolutely okay and hears what happened from you. Presses a gentle kiss to your brow as he brushes some hair out of your face, promising you that justice will be served.
He makes it very clear to the defense that there will be no badgering of the witness tolerated, given the fact that you came directly from the hospital to testify. He’s not happy about it, but a decisive witness is the key to winning this case.
Afterwards, the two of you go home together and he just… holds you. It takes you a while to realize it, but he’s crying. It’s a call that’s too close for comfort, another loved one potentially being ripped away from him. Leaving him behind. Unbearable.
Dotes on you afterwards, despite his job taking such a high priority in his life he’ll make as much time for you as you request.
Touchier than usual for a time afterwards, it’s reassuring to the both of you. You may even be able to squeeze out a bit of PDA from him.
Will scold you at any hint of self-sacrificial behavior going forward, not wanting you to risk yourself like that again.
Encourages you to get therapy and recommends you to his therapist, wants to make sure that you heal from the trauma and is there for you every step of the way.
Simon Blackquill.
Simon has suffered too much loss, he takes this crime against you. Because he could have lost you, too. And that’s unacceptable.
Really, he takes this whole ordeal very hard personally. Protecting the ones he loves is one of his most deeply held and important core values.
He feels like he’s deeply failed you (the one he loves) on that front.
Given the suspect’s psychological background and the evidence, he’s quick to figure out that this is, indeed, his culprit.
You think he’s bad in the courtroom? He’s hell in the interrogation room. Psychological manipulation and intense, drawn out interrogations to try and break down the suspect or trick him into confessing or slipping up.
He is merciless and all steely edges, there is no ‘good cop’ to save this cretin. The threats are less empty than usual…
Enjoys making them squirm a bit too much, it’s honestly a way for him to take out his own frustration.
By the time you’ve come to, the case is already closed. A single day in court is all it took. He spent the first day in interrogation, but doing so allowed for him to be there for you consistently not long after.
Simon’s by your side, arms crossed over his chest as he stares off into space—lost in thought. He doesn’t notice you’re awake immediately and you get to see that he’s lost in thought.
He looks like hell. He’s got bags under his eyes and the stains on his face seem more pronounced than before.
After the nurses and doctors run their tests, he’s quick to hold onto your hand once you’re alone once again.
“Tsk. Don’t do something so brainless ever again. I won’t forgive you if you do.”
You both know he would’ve done the same in your situation though. And you sense there’s some underlying meaning behind his words that isn’t directed at you.
He becomes like a shadow afterwards, a bit too reminiscent of an overbearing mother hen with her chicks. However, he’s simultaneously emotionally distant. It’s a strange, contrasting combination and it can be confusing to navigate with him.
If you weren’t learning swordplay with him before, you are now! He passes on his iaijutsu technique onto you.
Tries to find the humor and encourages you in his own snarky way. It’s familiar and comforting in its own and he lives for seeing more of your smile.
Takes a few days off work to spend time with you, has his arms wrapped around you as much as he can and treats you to as much comfort food takeout as you want. It’s the least he can do...
Athena conducts a couple of therapy sessions with the two of you. She’s the only person he trusts enough with you and his own feelings. It really helps clear up that emotional distance element.
i'd love either some HCs or prose where the reader works alongside edgeworth or gumshoe, and the pair gets asked a lot if they're together (by random people, not necessarily other canon ace attorney characters). bonus points if they DO want to be together, but they think they're not worthy of the other or they're terrified to confess ^_^
I expanded it to include presumptive statements too, like people assuming they’re together!
Miles Edgeworth.
No matter how frequently this happens to the two of you, he always gets flustered. However the extent of his flustering depends heavily on what kind of comment is made.
If it’s a simple question as to whether you’re dating or a comment where someone calls you his partner, significant other, etc. (or vice versa), he gets through it with more of his dignity intact.
You know the phrase like the back of your hand: “I’m sorry, but we’re not a couple.”
His tone is neutral and professional, but his embarrassment is rendered obvious by the way he averts his eyes and the pink blush that creeps across his face.
However, if it’s something about how cute his significant other (you) are and how good you two look together?
He forgets what words are and splutters, his face goes bright red, and his finger taps away at his arm as he quickly spirals into overthinking.
It’s your turn to say the phrase, which he’ll always stutter out a ‘thank you’ for later on.
He isn’t sure why this always happens, he doesn’t think that he acts any differently with you than he does with others (he does). So, then why do people seemingly pick up on these feelings he has for you so easily? Is he truly that obvious for strangers, of all people, to notice?
Each time it happens, he spends a substantial part of his day brooding about that particular question, along with what on earth he should do about them.
He certainly isn’t opposed to the idea of actually becoming your significant other, but those are entirely uncharted waters for him so he holds his tongue.
You’re very dear to him and until he’s able to get to the truth about your feelings for him, he’ll continue to do so. He doesn’t want to risk ruining the special bond the two of you share.
Dick Gumshoe.
Dick has a pretty uniform response to both the questions and assumptions made about your close relationship. He is incredibly transparent about it, too.
But given how much of a hopeless romantic he can be, it’s mostly easy to write off as him wanting a relationship in general and not a relationship specifically with you.
First, he lights up, grinning ear to ear as a very visible blush explodes across his cheeks. He always gets giddy at the thought of the two of you together, dating.
And then, his shoulders will sag and the sad puppy dog eyes come out. Because the reality is that you aren’t together and he doesn’t think that you ever will be, even though he’s got it b-a-d for you.
Sometimes he’ll go straight into the despondent mode though if he’s already having a bad day or get scolded at work earlier.
A simple and easily delivered “You’ve got the wrong idea, pal,” is all he says with a sigh and the moment quickly passes.
He may have sulky episodes for the rest of the day as he ruminates on the fact that you deserve better than a plain-looking, bumbling detective who can’t really afford to take you out on nice dates.
If you try and cheer him up by distracting him with some kind words or gestures (like a pat on the back or buying him some food), he usually perks right back up.
And then he’ll switch back into thinking more about what you’d be like as a romantic partner and how much he’d like to hold your hand.
He’s almost asked you out more times than he can count (often later on during the same days those questions or comments are made), but it’s the one thing that he manages to reel in his impulsivity on.
As long as you’re happy, he’s happy… or that’s what he tells himself, at least.
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.
Hello! Just found your blog and I'm just reading and reading. I love how you write! Would it be okay to ask for Miles and a female!S/O staying up to read up and organize a case? Maybe the S/O gets sleepy midway but doesn't wanna go to bed unless Miles goes with her? Thank you so much!
;;w;; thanks so much, pal! I’m really glad you’ve been enjoying my writing. This is a super cute request. As always, I live for that sweet domestic Edgeworth fluff.But I kept the reader gender neutral for this one, it didn’t come up much organically in the fic.
Preparing for the trial he has next afternoon is a handful, but it’s a burden you—as his spouse—were kind enough to assist him with, sitting in his office and helping him read through and organize the pile of paperwork. He has some Chopin playing in the background as white noise to boost concentration, but aside from the shuffling of papers you work in relative silence. You know his system like the back of your hand.
With only about a quarter of work left, you hand him a set of documents. Miles lets out a quiet hum of appreciation, giving them a brief once over before slipping them into his organizer. Yet when he allows his gaze to flicker back to you before he resumes his own task, he finds your head nodding off to the side as you doze off.
It’s only then realizes that he realizes it has grown late. He glances at the grandfather clock to check, it’s almost half past one in the morning.
How time always seems to fly when he works with you. It’s a welcome change. And yet, it seems like that time’s come to an end in order to send you off to bed. But before he does, he takes a moment to appreciate your slumbering features (as per usual). His lips quirk upwards as he appreciates how sleep softens your features, rendering you more adorable than usual.
He places a hand on your shoulder and calls your name, disrupting you from your light slumber. “Thank you for your work tonight, but I do believe it’s time for you go to bed.”
“Nooo,” you yawn, bringing a hand up to cover it as you shake your head. “We’re almost done... I can handle it...”
“Dear, you’re obviously exhausted. I can handle the remainder of this by myself, because it’s as you said: We’re almost done.”
You cross your arms over your chest and pout at him. “It’s late, Miles. You said that yourself.”
“I did, indeed. However, I fail to see your point,” he sighs, crossing his arms in return as he stares you down.
“Obviously, you should come to bed, too. I... don’t want to go to sleep without you.”
His eyes soften, the temptation is there. He wants to say ‘yes,’ he’s tired and his eyes ache and there’s virtually nothing he’s come to enjoy more than being held by you as he falls asleep. Yet his work is important and he cannot go to court unprepared again, he is not one for flying by the seat of his pants in court like him. The warring thoughts in his mind are enough to get his finger going, tapping casually against his arm.
“Nngh, but—”
“—Actually, I’m not going to sleep without you again.” It comes out more desperate than you intended and you avert your eyes, a light blush spreading across your cheeks. “It’s just… you always work so late. It’d be nice to get you into bed before two in the morning for once.”
The furrow between his brows returns, pairing nicely with his scowl as he glowers down at the binder in front of him as if it’s his mortal enemy. His finger furiously pattering away against his arm, as he mentally plans out when he’s going to wake up and how he’s going to arrange his morning to insure he completes his work with time to spare.
“…I suppose,” he says as he shuts his organizer, “I can finish this in the morning without issue.”
You smile at him and close the distance to throw your arms around his neck, giving him a quick peck on the lips before giving him the chance to react. “Love you!”
Your surprise attack is super effective, as a blush creeps up his neck all the way to the tips of his ears. (Too precious for your own good.) “Nnngh... I love you, too.”
Miles opens his mouth to say something further, but he chokes on his words at the sight of you tilting your head to one side. Perhaps he’s more tired than he thought after all for such an ordinary thing to have such a pronounced effect on him... He averts his gaze and stands up, pulling you along with him before turning the speaker off. All the while, keeping one hand on the small of your back as he guides you, wordlessly, out of the room and flicks the lights off behind you.
It isn’t until you reach the bedroom that he removes his hand, ever playing the gentleman as he keeps his back to you as you each change into your pajamas. As is customary, while you turn the overhead lights are switched off, a floor lamp in the corner of the room is left on. You crawl into bed shortly after and he puts his matching nightcap on before joining you.
As soon as he connects with the mattress, your arms slip around him, fingers sliding up and down the pale pink satin of his shirt as you rub his back. He returns the favor in kind, looping his arms around you and allowing his fingers to come up and play with your hair. It’s beyond cozy and his guard is down as his gaze shifts from your face to where his fingers are moving, lost in thought.
You remain silent, both to give him the space he needs and also because you’re already starting to surrender yourself to sleep, eyelids growing heavier each second.
“...I’m sorry if I’ve... been neglecting you as of late. It certainly has not been my intention to do so. I didn’t even realize,” he trails off, voice wavering as he bites back a grimace—upset with himself for being a terrible husband.
You snuggle up against him and nuzzle your face under his chin, forcing your hands to come to a stop in order to just hold him close. He can feel the smile on your lips against his skin and you press a gentle kiss to his throat... where he’s pretty sure his heart is lodged at that moment.
“S’okay, love. I know your work’s important to you...”
“...And I hope you know that you’re just as important, as well.”
“Yeah, I do.”
The tension in his body vanishes with those three words and he melts into the mattress, fingers still carding gently through your hair until you fall asleep. He follows not long after, reveling in the feeling of your arms around him.
...And he does so for the next week without fail, not letting you fall asleep on your own without fail to make his point abundantly clear.
Hey hey! Sorry if this is really specific but could I get an imagine with a fem!forensic artist reader who has a huge crush on Phoenix? I love your blog and read it like everyday💕💕💕 Thank you!
Thank you very much!!! 💚 I love how Phoenix gets the forensic specialist S/O requests, it makes me very happy. It’ll certainly come in handy for his investigations, haha. I had a lot of fun writing this one.Feat. Forensic Artist!Reader
The two of you ended up meeting through some court proceedings, you created some diagrams in court… and, needless to say, he was rather intrigued.
It was his first time encountering a forensic artist in person and he ended up chatting you up afterward.
He takes you off guard by talking with you about art and inquiring about your undergrad degree (be it in art or graphic design) and bringing up his own background in art. It serves as a bonding point for the two of you.
After rapport is established and he sees you at any crime scene going forward, you’re probably going to end up helping him sneak onto crime scenes at some point and providing him with information or copies of whatever project you do at the time. Even if you have some reservations about it. It’s for a good cause… and he’s cute.
In return, he does what he can to prevent you from getting in trouble for it. And, ultimately, ends up asking you out and treating you to dinner as a way of thanks.
This trend continues even after you start dating, but he repays you in kisses, now.
He may also try and get you to help out if he feels like you may have a better time getting details from a difficult witness to save some time.
Your training is most appreciated by him and he watches you work your magic with the biggest heart eyes.
…Honestly, he just likes working with you in general and will always jump at the excuse to do so.
Additionally, your knowledge of technology blows him away, the things that you and your team members are able to do with technology in terms of post-mortem and facial reconstructions are remarkable to him.
The cost of this is that you may find yourself getting asked to help with the tech issues down at the law firm sometimes.
Whenever you’re stuck writing reports or preparing a display for a trial to help the judge follow along, Phoenix will bring you a treat (be it coffee, a pastry, or whatever else you favor) and lend you a hand when he can.
Tends to do this a great deal when he has downtime between cases, just come over to the law firm and the two of you can tackle it together.
If he gets to watch you as you sketch for either work or fun, he really enjoys it.
He’s particularly curious about the specific details about how you go about making sketch composites or age progression sketches, so he enjoys getting to observe any part of that process. He asks you a lot of questions about it.
However, sometimes he can be a bit of a backseat artist for your casual pieces. Despite that, he will proudly hang up anything you make for him in the office.
Can I get a request for the Prosecutors? Prompt number 107 and female pronouns please.
Yup!

Manfred von Karma.
You’d made plans earlier and they were simply coming over to spend some quality time with you after a hard day’s work. You’d mentioned that another friend was coming over before them but that they should’ve been gone by then. It doesn’t seem like that’s the case, as they can hear the two of you still talking inside.
The words are muffled, but they can still hear part of the conversation:
“…way they watch you…like they’re ready to take a bullet for you.”
“…Is that a bad thing?”
“What do you mean?”
“Well… that’s how I feel about them, too.”
Miles Edgeworth.
His finger freezes just shy of the doorbell as he hears those words, cheeks turning red. He didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but now he also doesn’t want to intrude on what appears to be a serious discussion with your friend. So, he stands there, frozen, as his brain kicks it into overthinking overdrive.
Was he that obvious? And did you truly feel the same way? But most importantly, what is he to do with this inadmissibly gathered information?
With a deep breath in, he steps back and goes to take a walk around the block to clear his mind, just hoping that your friend will leave by the time he returns to ring your doorbell properly. With no more answers than he started with.
Lana Skye.
Her hand recoils from the doorknob as if it’s red hot, taking a few steps back. Her chest rising and falling too quickly as she catches her thumb between her teeth, gnawing on it as she loses herself in thought.
Does Gant know about this? Her feelings toward you?
She thought she was being subtle. She thought that, maybe, she could at least enjoy your company. Just one nice thing…
But that was beyond foolish. This is becoming too serious—too dangerous—and she can’t do this to you. With a heavy heart, she turns on her heel and walks away.
Franziska von Karma.
Franziska starts backwards, right hand instinctively coming up to her left shoulder as the choice of words hits a bit too close to home. But it only means that they carry all the more weight.
Because she would for you. Many times over, in fact. And it’s a relief to hear that you feel the same. Not like you wouldn’t, of course. The two of you were perfect together, after all.
Clearing her throat to herself, she adjusts her bow and sleeves, straightening herself back out before ringing the doorbell. Although the smile on her face is a bit softer than usual.
Godot.
The grin is wiped off of his face when he hears the topic of conversation and he shamelessly listens in, the exchange going down like a quality cup of black coffee.
Your friend isn’t wrong. As much as he told himself he lived only for revenge and making up for his failure… there was a third reason, now. One that he’d gladly lay his life down for.
You.
If he was a better man, he would simply turn away and leave now that he knew you felt the same. After all, the path he walks is the road back to hell and yet…
Like how a man dying of thirst will rush to the nearest source of water, he raises his hand and knocks three times—signature grin back on his face.
Klavier Gavin.
He blinks at the door in surprise and he brings a hand up to nervously run through his hair. However, the cloud of guilt that passes over him isn’t enough to prevent a smile from breaking onto his face.
It’s strange how a few words can produce a complete turnabout. He used to have a hard time believing that you felt the same about him, his barbed words of the past would resurface and set his usual confidence aflame.
He needed to hear that, he realizes.
But before anything else can be said, he bangs the first few beats of Guilty Love on your door—letting you know he’s there before you say anything more. Once the two of you are alone, he’ll apologize.
Sebastian Debeste.
His eyes snap wide open when his brain connects the dots and his baton whips through the air, striking his face hard enough to draw blood. He winces and rubs the injury, tears welling up in his eyes as he sniffles.
Not from the pain, but from the fact that you actually feel the same.
He knows he isn’t truly deserving of you, not yet at least. But he’s working on it. You know that and have been with him every step of the way, regardless. What you don’t know is how much your support means to him, the true nature of his feelings toward you.
He shakes his head and wipes away the tears, his usual smile returning to his face before he knocks offbeat on your door.
Because you only deserve nothing but the best.
Simon Blackquill.
His heart stops dead in his chest, biting down on the quill of Taka’s feather balanced between his teeth. Your friend’s harsh tone isn’t lost on him, but it’s the soft resolution in your voice that he focuses on. Specifically, the revelation that comes with it:
You still love him.
Everything clicks into place then. He hadn’t dared to hope that you still cared for him in such a capacity. Not after how he pushed you away to keep you safe. All those years, he hadn’t been able to move on… and it seems you hadn’t either.
Without hesitation, he raises his hand and pounds on the door. He’s not wasting any more time.
Nahyuta Sahdmadhi.
His hand flies up to grab onto his prayer beads, pulling them taut as he curses himself for overhearing such a private conversation. He takes a sharp inhale, cat-like eyes sliding shut as he brings his hands into his meditative position and tunes the outside world out.
After all that’s happened, all that you’ve been through together… he knows that to be true. But the raw tenderness in your voice struck a chord, harmonizing with his own feelings.
Ones that he hadn’t yet acted on as he focused on rebuilding his country and himself.
He opens his eyes and, determined to confess on both matters (when the two of you are alone), he knocks lightly on the door—applying just enough force so that he knows you’ll hear it.
Bonus Villain: (Warning: He’s a perfection-obsessed antagonist and thus this isn’t trying to depict a healthy relationship and involves some big assumption making. But if any mention of having children makes you uncomfortable. Please stop reading here!)
Manfred von Karma.
He quirks a brow at the snippet of conversation he happens to overhear, but a predatory smirk breaking across his face.
Your friend is more perceptive than he credited them for; however, they misunderstood his intentions behind how he looks at you. Simply put, he’s decided that you are the ideal wife for a man of his position and station, a woman with which he could produce rightful heirs for the Von Karma legal dynasty.
Perfection.
He raps on the door with the back of his hand, other hand tucked behind his back as he puffs his chest out just a touch. All to look more impressive for you as he plans to make full use of this information.
