Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth have finally been able to settle down together, and both have gained tenured professorship at Ivy University. Despite re-gaining his Bar, the need to play memories on the piano has been engraved in Phoenix's psyche. The songs he plays remind him and Miles of events from their past, both good and bad, ludicrous and mundane, thrilling and terrifying, hilarious and heartbreaking.
This was partially-inspired by some of the themes I saw on the Kink Meme at livejournal, but also is a collection of random scenarios and ideas I played out in my head while playing the Gyakuten Saiban games. Think of it as a huge collection of songfics. Also an entry in the "Who's the Hobo" contest at the NaruMitsu LJ community.
* Indicates a chapter with relatively explicit sexual content (lemon / lime / yaoi / yuri / whatever the hell), which is either a keynote for those offended by such to stay away (and not to come complaining to me; you have been WARNED), or is a way for the people who are only reading this for the sexuality to find that for which they are looking without wading through all of the other nonsense.
† Indicates a chapter with brutal violence and / or gore beyond standard, 'lookit blood's flyin' levels.
