    Summary

    “Mom! Mom!

    Audata snapped her head to the door of the house. Her son stood in the hall, his little face red and eyes puffy as he cradled his forearm, a sob stuck in his throat.

    Audata dried her hands on the towel and hurried to her child. “Phainon, love, what –”

    “My mark!” her four-year-old son interrupted, voice quickly growing hysterical. Audata reeled back. Small chest heaving and words slurring, he showed her his arm where his soulmark that had once glowed with the golden color of the sun was now rapidly losing color. “It’s gone!

    Summary

    God, the dream had been so good. It had felt so real, and while Phoenix is still half-asleep he can admit that it was everything he wanted. He’s still rock-hard in his pants, wound up and frustrated, when a realization dawns on him.

    He’s alone in the office.

    No,” Phoenix chides himself out loud, staring at Charley as if he was going to answer back. “I am a thirty-four year old man and I am not going to jack off in my office. I’m not.” He stares at Charley, hoping that somehow he could knock some sense into him.

    Charley, like most plants, does not answer.

    Summary

    And then, suddenly, it’s quiet. There’s darkness again, silence. Tentatively, Apollo opens his eyes. He can still see the intermittent glow from the fireworks, but he can’t hear them as anything other than a distant, dull rumble anymore. Edgeworth is there in front of him, a hand on either side of Apollo’s head.

    --
    Fresh off the heels of the UR-1 retrial, Apollo learns the bombing left more than just physical scars. He finds an unexpected ally in Miles Edgeworth, who simply cannot help seeing echoes of himself in Apollo's nascent trauma and grief. Meanwhile, Phoenix proposes a toast.

    Summary

    Apollo pouts. Everyone acts like good behavior will get him adopted, or at least into a stable long-term foster home. Apollo is under no such illusions that any level of rule-following is going to make him loveable. People will just make stuff up about him anyway, so why bother?

    That’s what happened to Phoenix Wright, after all.

    --
    As a teenager, Apollo longed for an ounce of justice in his messed up life, and found a spark of hope in Phoenix Wright. As the years go by, Apollo is forced to confront the consequences of hero worship, his own anger issues, and the complicated reality of imperfect fathers.

    Summary

    Trucy searches his face. It’s true that since she’s arrived, Apollo has seemed brighter; stronger, healthier, smiling and self-assured. But here on the mountain, surrounded by the crickets and the foolish moths and Datz’s struggling herb garden, he just looks tired. And sure, it’s 1AM, but it seems deeper than that—a bone-deep sort of tiredness she recognizes from last Christmas, when Apollo was sickly and depressed and barely able to get out of bed.

    Some things never leave you. Trucy knows that well; there’s a hole in her own heart that she hasn’t ever been able to fill, no matter how much she tries.

    --
    Or: A year after Apollo moves to Khura'in, his baby sister pays him a visit. This is Trucy Wright, on growing up, wasting time, and telling your brother you love him, maybe not in that order.
