Not quite the same, but the Miles Edgeworth Sees Ghosts AU I'm working on has some of these notes! Definitely leans more into the Feenie Dies bit, but I have plans

I haven't updated in a few months because college and other projects have been taking up a lot of my time, but I'm hoping to get back to the grind soon! (but I also have two original short stories to write this semester and I'm working on Febuwhump prompt fills so we'll see how that goes)

as opposed to “mia fey lives au”s,, has anyone done a “mia fey is resurrected though some ritual” au bc i would be interested

[mushygreybrainmatter]

I severely overestimated the amount of time I would have to write after I got back to college but I promised three consistent updates for On the Laying of Ghosts, so three consistent updates there shall be.

(I'm almost done with chapter 4, I swear. However, things might fall off a little after that. I'll do my best though.)

Anyway, chapter 3 goes up tomorrow! Get excited!!!
