#no beta we die like gregory edgeworth

[leeeeeeef]

still thinking about the similarities and differences between miles edgeworth and trucy wright's upbringings,,, like i get that its no big secret that miles and trucy both lost their biological fathers in the courtroom in incidents regarding forged evidence and wrongful convictions and that their adoptive guardians were somehow involved in gregory/zak's disappearance and that miles and trucy both may or may not have played some role in their disappearances as well (whether it's perceived or unintentional)

but also i think its kind of interesting how trucy didn't become a defense attorney like phoenix did, but rather stuck with being a magician like her bio parents and grandfather. and phoenix supports her in all of her endeavors!!! phoenix loves trucy regardless of her occupation, and it's such a stark contrast to how manfred completely shapes miles's career, personality, etc. miles ended up not following in gregory's footsteps, and it's completely different to how trucy was allowed and even encouraged to continue her family's business.

also i love how phoenix brings trucy and apollo closer together even before they find out that they're half-siblings. and even more, trucy and pearl are almost like sisters to each other (capcom please give us more trucy/pearl interactions pleaseplease please) and since phoenix was a friend of the fey clan long before he met trucy, there's no doubt he had a hand in their friendship. anyways what i'm trying to say is that phoenix puts effort into making sure his daughter has a vivid social life - an extensive support system that she can rely on.

on the other hand, miles and franziska's siblinghood is entirely different. as much as i love their dynamic, it's pretty clear to see that a big part of that dynamic is their rivalry. franziska doesn't want to fall behind miles; she becomes a prosecutor at around the same time that miles does, even if she's seven years younger than him; her entire motive is to beat phoenix in court as a way to surpass miles; and in aai1 fran and miles are competitive with each other (albeit in a sibling way but still). and i get that this is pretty much completely speculative but i cant help but think that maybe manfred had some hand in that?? perhaps pitting them against each other as a way to isolate miles from any sort of familial connection,, i like to think that fran and miles seeing each other as siblings shows how they free themselves of manfred's polarizing influence. 

and i haven't watched the anime but i heard that manfred makes miles study in europe for a while?? in a country where he can't understand anyone else (at least until he learns the language),,, and compared to trucy's upbringing, miles had been so isolated from everyone, from his sister, from his childhood friends, and that isolation was in no small part due to manfred's influence.

(another note: i feel like trucy's and miles's differing social skills show this disparity even more; miles is a lot more socially awkward and standoffish due to how isolated he is while trucy is very comfortable and friendly with others, possibly due to how trucy has had a lot more opportunities for socialization. i can see why someone might chalk it down to trucy working as an entertainer but miles's profession also requires a level of social adequacy in the form of persuasion, so it's probably more than just their jobs)

i think it ultimately comes down to how manfred and phoenix perceive miles and trucy. im pretty sure manfred says at one point (im too lazy to find the screenshot to cite it..) that his treatment of miles served as a sort of revenge against gregory, corrupting him from a young age to completely purge gregory's influence. he sees miles as a vessel of his hatred towards gregory, almost like an extension of gregory himself. meanwhile phoenix sees trucy as,, well... a person - his daughter, with all of the wants, personality traits, and idiosyncrasies that make her /her/. and even though zak has done so much to hurt phoenix, phoenix doesn't let that get in the way of his love for trucy. hell, it's even reflected through their surnames; miles keeps his father's first name, showing that manfred doesn't really see miles as an adoptive child, while trucy changes her last name, showing that she and phoenix truly are father and daughter.

also. like. im sorry for tying this back to wrightworth but it's kind of poetic that miles ends up holding phoenix in such high regard. it's as if phoenix represents a life that miles might have had a long time ago; a symbol of security and warmth and unconditional love that was robbed from him at such a young age. it's especially apparent since phoenix and miles are childhood friends, like phoenix is a literal remnant of miles's past.

but there's one monumental similarity between miles and trucy that i've neglected to mention, and it's how they both learn to use the influence of their predecessors for good. although manfred had made miles a prosecutor as a way to get back at gregory, it's clear that miles still holds the values and morals that gregory had instilled in him close to his heart. and with phoenix's help, miles eventually learns how he can help others as a prosecutor. miles remains a prosecutor, just like manfred, and even retains many of the same mannerisms and fashion choices. however, his motives and morals, as well as the impact that he leaves on others, are undoubtedly his own, with the compassion and conviction that he had held since he was a child.

and it's no secret that troupe gramarye has their own history of scandals. but the heartless, manipulative way that magnifi, zak, valant, and even mr. reus treat both members and outsiders of the troupe,, it's nothing like trucy's brand of magic. her magic is so much kinder (yes, even the knife dances and catching bullets between her teeth) and she has so much more respect for the other magicians she works with. even when she inherits the troupe, her shows are traced with cheerfulness and wonder. she performs magic simply to put smiles on faces, even after the death of (as far as she knows) her only remaining biological family, even after being held hostage, even after being accused of murdering someone she had so much respect for. and that's probably more than anyone else in the troupe has done.

"Love, Lethality, and Other Trivial Things" Chapter 9: Eight of Clubs

“…Trucy…” “You don’t have to,” she whispered. “I’ll be fine.” “I don’t mind,” replied Miles. Though he couldn’t see her face, he could hear the embarrassment in her voice as she admitted, “I’m not very fun right now. I don’t, um… cry, so…” As she spoke, Miles ascended the stairs. His hand came to gently rest upon her shoulder. What could he even say here? What mattered most right now? There was one thing always precious to Miles: the truth. The truth he would tell.

Summary

When Miles Edgeworth revisited Los Angeles, he never anticipated Phoenix Wright falling comatose from a near-lethal dosage of atroquinine. He also didn't anticipate his daughter, Trucy Wright, to fall under his care, or the loud and defensive Apollo Justice to jump on the case. After so many years of avoiding the man, Miles didn't anticipate how much it would hurt to imagine losing him.

Phoenix buried his face in the crook of Miles's neck, kissing his shoulder and letting it linger as he spoke. "Morning. How are you feeling?"

"I'm doing--" He coughed, "I'm doing fine. I woke up slightly more tired than usual, though."

As if the world was specifically trying to prove him wrong, he broke into a coughing fit once again, nearly dropping his cup in the process.

"You were saying?"

 or,

Miles catches the flu, but refuses to admit how sick he really is. Phoenix, his loving husband. can see right through him.

“I apologize for…worrying you. In any capacity.”

“Are you kidding? I’m always gonna worry about you.” Phoenix smiled, but it fell as he turned slightly to look at Miles’s unsightly bed.

“Do you wanna talk about it?”

Miles grimaced. Phoenix seemed to notice, because he nodded and shifted slightly.

Not like he was uncomfortable, but like he was making himself comfortable.

“I know for a lot of people, they prefer to be alone when stuff like this happens,” Phoenix began. “But I like to think I know you quite well, and I know you don’t like to be alone. You’ve been alone your entire life. If you’ll allow me to be here, I’ll be here.” Phoenix smiled once again, and it stayed. “I’m offering.”

"Love, Lethality, and Other Trivial Things" Chapter 8: King of Hearts

It was like any other waltz that followed the beat of Klavier’s rock in cruel irony. The two of them had suits of harmonious colors, their hands were the same size and build, clammy in one another’s hold, and their mirrored smiles were malicious. Miles felt trapped, but he was sure Kristoph felt the same way; if Kristoph’s hand was on the knife, then Miles’s was on his throat, waiting for one of them to strike. Neither of them did. Instead, they danced. Their grip of hatred on one another’s bodies spoke more than enough for the both of them.

Edgeworth has been overworking himself after the DL-6 case. He was haunted by nightmares and sleepless nights after the truth of who von Karma really was. Instead of trying to rest, Edgeworth decided it would be best to find normalcy in something else: his work. It turns out that not sleeping leads to people you work with worrying about you.

Phoenix sat in anticipation, the sentiment shared by everyone else who was present there. Then the lights changed to an even deeper and tempting red. The music was loud, but for a moment all he could hear was the sound of heels clicking and gasps from the crowd, one of them his own.

But he couldn't look away. Couldn't even focus on not looking stupid. Phoenix is pretty sure that his jaw was slack and the look on his face would be one the public would love to turn into a meme format with some cringy text. But fuck, he couldn't care any less because Miles, his dearest treasure, the love of his life, was-

Miles was-

He's-
