Hello! This is kinda spoilery but could you please do some headcanons for Wright and Edgeworth’s SO (you can pick whether it’s poly or separate) getting kidnapped and will only be set free if a client gets a Not Guilty verdict? Like what happened to Maya in Farewell, My Turnabout. Also, I love your writing!
Thank you very much for the kind words, pal! And for sending in such an interesting request, too! 💚 I had a lot of fun thinking about how they’d handle a second instance of a loved one getting kidnapped. Since you gave me the choice, I went ahead and did poly since I had yet to write for that on this blog! ^^ Because you didn’t specify I went ahead and did a triad style polycule (i.e., all members are in romantic relationships w/ each other!) and set it after Phoenix gets his attorney’s badge back since that’s just where my mind immediately went!Feat. Wrightworth/Narumitsu x Reader
You’re targeted because of Miles’s position as Chief Prosecutor. It’s a direct attack on his attempt at reforming Los Angeles’s justice system, trying to turn Edgeworth’s blade of fighting corruption against him. Likely in an attempt to cause him to lose his position.
Of course, he does not stand for this foolishness for one moment. He’s bound and determined to get you back, while also insuring that such corrupt individuals get their due punishment by standing beside the bench again, himself. This isn’t going to be a repeat of De Killer…
However, he plays along with the kidnapper’s orders for the time being and manages to convince them to allow Phoenix Wright as the defense attorney.
After all, that’s the easiest way to insure that the correct verdict is given and they can get their partner back, is it not?
Besides, they’d be hard-pressed to find a better defense attorney than the legendary Phoenix Wright… even if Engarde did get the Guilty verdict all those years ago. This time would be different.
It’s not technically a lie, because Miles is involved in it from the start this time. The verdict itself won’t be different, however. But they don’t need to know that.
There’s only one defense attorney he trusts with his entire heart and soul…and he just so happens to have very similar stakes in this matter as far as you’re concerned.
He calls Phoenix about an emergency and heads home immediately after, white knuckling it through traffic as he figures out how to break this news to his partner.
He ends up being straight forward, not softening any of it as he recounts the call nearly verbatim to him. There’s a light tremor to his voice, half of worry for your well-being and half from rage… and perhaps some frustration with himself at the fact that you’d gotten kidnapped from right under their noses.
Phoenix blanches, but he listens to everything as best as he can.
The idea of defending another person like Engarde doesn’t sit well at all with Phoenix and… neither does the fact that they have you.
Just how unlucky is he for his best friend and, now, one of his partners to be kidnapped like this?
However, he knows that he has to do this. For Miles, for you… and for Trucy, too.
But he pulls him into an embrace and gives him that reassuring smile of his, gently cupping the sides of his face with his hands as he gently bumps their foreheads together.
Quietly reminding him that it’s in times like this that they need to smile the most. There’s a light tremor in his voice too, though.
Miles leans into the touch and presses a kiss to one of his wrists, reassuring and grateful, before pressing a proper kiss to his lips.
When Trucy comes home from school, she finds her fathers talking over hushed whispers.
Phoenix is the one to tell her that her third parent is currently kidnapped, but that they’re going to get you back. No matter what.
Believing that she’s lost both of her biological parents, the news hits too close to home and her smile falters.
They’re both quick to pull her into a tight hug between them. Phoenix leans down to place a kiss on her temple, murmuring words of comfort, while Miles silently rubs her back.
They share a look, resolve only strengthened to bring you back home safe and sound.
Things are tense in the courtroom, Miles is reliant upon Gumshoe to keep his investigation into your whereabouts covert. It’s hard to navigate and the defendant and kidnapper catch on as the trial drags on… and tensions rise between Miles and Phoenix as the risk to your well-being intensifies.
This is stressful on them both, arguments occur behind closed doors and they briefly slip back into referring to each other on a last name basis when alone.
Edgeworth is irritable and guilt laden, while Phoenix is anxious and frustrated. Trucy withdraws, throwing herself into practicing her act until you come back home.
But, like with Maya, you’re recovered just in the nick of time. Exhausted, starving, traumatized, and a bit bruised… but alive and the Guilty verdict is handed down and all is mended between your partners.
Once they’re able to see you again in person, you’re immediately brought into a huge group hug with both of your significant others and daughter. Everyone’s crying at the reunion, all glad to be reunited and that the worst is over.
You stay at the hospital for a couple of nights after and they take turns spending it with you, neither wanting you to be left alone after everything.
Trucy spends as much time as she can with you, too, doing magic tricks with you in the hospital to cheer you up.
After you’re back from the hospital, they both manage to take time off of work to help you recover and feel safe in your own home again. You are thoroughly spoiled by the both of them, to say the least.
Miles brews you your favorite tea and will read to you as much as you like, treating you to as many kisses on the forehead and knuckles as he possibly can.
All while hovering around you like a mother hen to make sure all your needs are being met.
Is it too hot in here? Do you have enough pillows? Are you hungry or thirsty?
Phoenix makes it his personal mission to get you to smile and laugh as much as he can while giving you all the cuddles and kisses—he’s practically always got at least one arm around you.
Dorking around and making teasing remarks at Miles when he’s being a bit too smothering with his concerns (even if Phoenix can be just as bad).
Miles is not amused, of course, but his reactions often are what make you laugh the most.
If you enjoy card games, he’ll play games against you during the day and manage to bribe Miles into joining you with some kisses.
Trucy will insert herself whenever she’s home and you play them. She’ll bust out UNO, specifically, and wreck her papa’s hand with it every single time, much to Edgeworth’s chagrin and yours and Phoenix’s amusement.
At night, you get the coveted position of middle spoon with their arms wrapped securely around you and kisses pressed to your face and neck.
And best of all… family cuddles!!! When Trucy gets home from school, the four of you group up on the couch and watch some Steel Samurai all together.
You’re in the middle with Miles’s and Phoenix’s arms around you with Trucy seated in your lap (sure she’s not as small as she used to be, but she won’t settle for anything else!).
After a few days, they return to work and life in the Wright and Edgeworth household settles back into a relative state of normalcy.
