“ema skye is annoying” “ema skye is too bitchy” shut up. ema skye canonically has a gun and still has enough restraint not to use it on all of her dumbass coworkers. she just eats snacks and throws them at twinks. she complains about her annoying bisexual worstie to his face. she loves science and hates being a cop. what more could you ask for in a woman

An Ace Attorney Christmas Carol

[tgd-sideblog]

so like. what if in turnabout goodbyes phoenix wasn't able to convince edgeworth to let him take his case so he got a public defender and that defender was eddie.

He'd still be pissed at Miles for becoming a prosecutor under von Karma's tutelage, but he has a job to do and everyone deserves a right to a fair trial and besides, Miles wouldn't stoop to killing someone, right? But maybe that doubt sits in the back of his mind, knowing that Miles has changed a lot over the last 15 years and if it wasn't Yogi who shot Gregory back then...

But he'd still do his damn best because at the end of the day he was Gregory's student and he knew that Gregory would stop at nothing to get his son acquitted. No matter what's happened, he'll still try his damnedest to carry on Gregory's legacy and that includes doing anything and everything he can for Miles.

And maybe he'd let this rookie lawyer snooping around the crime scene help him out, lord knows he'll need all the help he can get if he's gonna go up against von Karma

I would be intrigued by a scenario where Chris acts out and Helena and Ramon have to deal with that.

I feel like so much of their relationship with Chris is founded on the fact Helena had a lot of input in raising him when he was small and still sees him as her sweet baby boy (attempt number 2), meanwhile their relationship with Eddie is one of they tried to raise him well but he screwed up by getting his hs gf pregnant then instead of at least staying in the army where he could provide and let them raise their grandson better in peace Eddie made things even worse by being injured out and coming back to drag Chris down and take him away from them. They have written Eddie off as a failure and repeatedly show no interest in supporting him to deal with his percieved problems, they just want Chris as a do over and to scrap Eddie from their lives.

But how would they handle it if Chris stops being their perfect golden baby and does teenage shit like drink and stay out late and use bad language. They have never shown any attempt to actually problem solve with Eddie, and Chris hasn't given them a great grandkid for do-over attempt 2, so are they suddenly going to have to figure out how to actually raise a child who is a person with their own thoughts and decisions making, or would they just give up on Chris as well?

When Eddie leaves for El Paso, he and Buck share a goodbye knowing it is their only chance at what could have been.

Eddie leaves more behind than he knows.

“Chim mentioned you were looking a little peaky on shift the other day.”

Which day had that been? The one where Buck had retched behind the ambulance after a call to rescue a guy that had been trapped in his smokehouse had turned his stomach unexpectedly? Or the week before when he’d barely been able to keep down Bobby’s scrambled eggs at breakfast?

“I’m fine,” Buck insists. It’s true, the nausea has subsided for now, though he has no confidence it won’t be back. Either way, he won’t be joining Maddie for Christmas. With her not yet through her first trimester, there’s no way Buck is going to risk exposing her to whatever is wrong with him. “I’ve got orange juice and crackers. I know how to take care of myself.”

“I just feel bad about you being alone and sick on Christmas. Are you sure you don’t want Chim to drop by? He could bring over the tea Linda recommended me. I’ve been using it for morning sickness, but she says it works wonders for any type of nausea.”

“I’m fine Maddie, I promise. If I still feel crappy in a few days maybe I’ll give the tea a try, but there’s no point spreading the sickness around if it’s something I can just sleep off.”

guess i'll have to make it on my own

When Eddie leaves for El Paso, he and Buck share a goodbye knowing it is their only chance at what could have been.

Eddie leaves more behind than he knows.

If Eddie gets much more packed up, he’s not going to actually be able to live properly in his house while he works on finding a place in Texas.

Buck sidesteps the boxes as he makes his way towards the lounge. They have another zoom call scheduled, well, Eddie does, but Buck has invited himself along again because Eddie is in desperate need of a moderating influence to convince him not to break his budget looking for a place nice enough to tempt Christopher back into living with him based on amenities alone, nor to consign himself to a miserable little box of an apartment simply because it’s available and would get him back in Christopher’s life sooner.

When he finds Eddie, though, the laptop isn’t set up though and Eddie isn’t wearing the expression Buck has grown used to in the days since Eddie had announced his intention. Instead, he’s holding his phone and looking stunned.

“Eddie, hey,” Buck greets, warily. “Are you ready for our meeting with the realtor?”

Eddie shakes his head. “I just got off the phone with Adriana. She’s been offered a big promotion.”

“Oh. Uh… good for her?” He’s only met Eddie’s sisters in passing, doesn’t really know much about them, other than the vague impression that they’re closer to their parents than Eddie.

“The new role is based in Atlanta. They want her to start as soon as possible, but she just renewed her lease last month.”

Buck nods slowly. So, they’d been commiserating over moving woes.

“Her place is a nice two bedroom, because she wanted a home office. It’s a short drive from my parents, and Chris has visited her there a few times, so it’s definitely accessible,” Eddie continues. “We just talked it over, and rather than pay the fees to break her lease, she’s going to sublet to me. It means I can be in El Paso in time to spend the holidays with Chris.”

Jason and Damian meet in the LoA AU where Damian vehemently insists that Jason is his only real brother since they have the same mother and father. The others try to tell him that Jason is also adopted, but Damian will just stare at them like they are stupid and go "is Father not his Father in the eyes of the law?"

"Well, yeah, but-"

"Does Mother not call him as her son?"

"I mean she does-"

"Are they not my Mother and Father as well?"

"Yes?"

"The matter has been concluded, then, Richard."

"What about me? Bruce is also my dad on paper?"

"You get half of the acknownledgement, of course, as you have been getting so far."

"What about Tim, then?"

"I don't see how he is relevant to this conversation."

"I'm just curious where he lands on the brother percentage scale."

"Nowhere. Timothy is a neighbour. Though I shall offer him hospitality while he is under our roof."

"You tripped him on the patrol last night."

"Does the alleyway look like our house to you?"

i do think it's simplistic to think that helena and ramon don't care about chris. i think they're wrong for like 90% of how they go about things but for them to just be 100% evil would make it too neat and less interesting. i think they do care and that's the worst part because then eddie has to confront the fact that his parents could have been caring and kind and thoughtful all along, they just weren't with him. you see this a lot actually IRL where people with bad parents have kids and the parents having mellowed out with age or even fuelled by the regret of having fucked up in the past are great grandparents which really hurts. because the good place voice they could have changed all along you just weren't worth changing for.

I would actually be really interested in a version of events where Christopher is unwilling to return to L.A. and Eddie decides to follow him to Texas in an effort to build bridges. So Buck watches yet another of the most important people in his life leave him (and blames himself just a little because of course Eddie is going to do whatever it takes for Chris but if Buck had just been able to convince him to stay then he wouldn't be loosing both of them).

Except Eddie texts and calls and still reads the L.A. news so he can find out about upcoming events Buck might be interested in and very much is absolutely not gone from Buck's life despite not being there physically.

Other parts of his life might have to take priority but that doesn't mean Buck is getting dropped it means Eddie puts in extra effort. Instead of Eddie not being able to be there physically meaning Buck is left feeling abandoned once again, instead it becomes an opportunity for Eddie to prove that he will keep choosing Buck even when he isn't convenient in the slightest.
