Sometimes burnt bridges can be rebuilt.
---
Ace Attorney had it's 20th anniversary last year and combined with the long awaited translation of Dai Gyakuten Saiban/the Great Ace Attorney Chronicles I got all nostalgic.
THIS moment is my absolute favourite scene: Phoenix Wright, terrified of heights, running across a burning bridge above a canyon because he's far more scared of losing anyone else, that he'd do anything to stop it. And in what would become a recurring motif, when Phoenix is in desperate straits, Edgeworth puts everything on the line to build him back up.
The same way Phoenix saved him.
I love these games.
(longboy combined version under cut cos the quality gets nerfed)

Okay, I have a fic concept living rent free in my head.
Miles has been helping Phoenix deal with the aftermath of his disbarment since the beginning, he pulled every string and called in every favor he could, and still nothing could be done.
He tried to assure Wright that things would work out eventually, that they would prove he’d been tricked. Wright had adamantly refused to have Trucy testify on his behalf, to lay the blame on her. Miles disagreed with the decision but didn’t push him on it, she was only a child after all.
As time passes, Phoenix struggles to make ends meet. He needs to go out and get a job but he can’t just leave Trucy alone in the apartment for his long hours. Upon hearing this, Miles reluctantly offered to watch her. He had not intended it to become a regular occurrence.
Yet here he was, slowly coming to adore the sweet and spirited girl. She was well behaved, and all around delightful. Of course she was a child still and sometimes he found her getting herself into trouble around the Prosecutor’s Office, however he’d never needed to scold her about something more than once.
He was careful about where he took her, often avoiding having her ever come near a crime scene. Whenever he had to go out investigating he would have Detective Gumshoe watch her for the hour or so he needed to get what was necessary.
Other than those times the girl was right by her side at all times, she asked a lot of questions when they were alone, about what was happening in the case. It was an interesting exercise for him, trying to explain the case to a child, he spared her any of the more gruesome details of course. He wouldn’t be held responsible for traumatizing her.
However, trying to explain the complex motivations of the human psyche for crime in a easily digestible manner had actually been a relatively helpful exercise.
Other times when talking to witnesses, she was mostly quiet, but sometimes she even landed up being helpful. Sometimes noticing speech patterns and little ticks that he would’ve otherwise overlooked. She was also amazingly emotionally intelligent, she covered for an area he was weak in, comforting others.
He had more than once, left the room for a moment to grab something just to come back and find her sitting next to a witness, them tearing up and suddenly ready to talk.
It was honestly incredible to him, and he found himself hopelessly enamored by this precious little girl. Phoenix often complained about how he spoiled her rotten, but he frankly couldn’t care less. It was payment for helping him with his work.
It was a few months after this pattern had started, and Trucy was skipping along behind him as usual. He needed to speak to a detective, so he was down at the station. A particularly peculiar case had just been set into motion and he needed more information.
Trucy wasn’t the type to wander off on her own, that had been a strict rule he’d implemented when he’d started bringing her with him places. She’d always been good about it, only ever getting lost in the madness once.
When he looked around and saw she was nowhere to be seen, he panicked. They were in a police station, surely she was safe, she had to be.
Except, often Police stations are filled with nearly as many criminals as officers, who knew what might happen if one broke out of their handcuffs.
It didn’t take him terribly long to find her thankfully, he heard crying in the distance, when he followed the sound, it seemed to be the voice of a child. Down a hallway and into a conference room, that was when he finally caught sight of her again.
Miles nearly shouted, he was sorely tempted to scold her for scaring him like that. However the moment he processed what he was looking at, the words died on his lips.
Trucy was sitting next to another little girl, she seemed slightly older than her, but only by a year or two. She wore her bright auburn hair in a side pony and she was sobbing, hysterically panicking.
Miles was all too familiar with that particular kind of terror, he made eye contact with the officer in the room and gestured for them to come closer.
“Prosecutor Edgeworth, I was a little worried when I saw your girl walk in here alone, everything alright?” The officer asked, she was a middle aged woman who mostly worked filing and desk jobs. She was always in the precinct, so she often saw them here.
He nodded curtly, “She walked off on her own while I was taking care of something, I’ll have a talk with her. I’m just glad she didn’t leave the station.” He looked back over to the two girls, Trucy was hugging her from the seat beside the the auburn haired girl. Trucy had given the girl her cape to wrap around her for comfort, and she was clutching it tightly and mumbling to herself softly.
He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. “She always seems to know when someone’s upset, makes it hard to be angry with her.” He crossed his arms and leaned against the wall for a moment. “Who’s the other girl?”
“Athena Cykes, the daughter of that astronaut that got murdered by the prosecutor. Surely you’ve heard about it… we don’t really know what to do with her. She has distant relatives from Europe we’re attempting to contact, but there’s some sort of hang up in the communications. It’s taking longer that we expected it to.” She sighed. “She’ll probably have to stay at the precinct tonight, I already offered to keep an eye on her. Poor thing.”
Miles did know the case, in fact it was the one he had just been assigned. Prosecutor Simon Blackquill confessed to the murder of Metis Cykes, the girl being the daughter of the victim.
Trucy finally seemed to realize his presence there and jumped in her seat, she scampered over to him and hugged his leg. “Uncle Miles! I’m sorry, I know you don’t like it when I run off, you just looked busy and I wanted to help her…”. She spoke softly for a child, clearly trying to be mindful of the young Miss Cykes.
“Miss, is ‘Thena really going to have to stay here overnight?” She asked the officer, looking deeply concerned.
“Sorry Lil Missy, that’s the way it has to be. She hasn’t got anywhere else to stay. Protocol would have us looking after her until she’s either put under the care of extended family or the foster system.” She explained, and Trucy glanced over her shoulder at the girl again. She had quieted down a little after Trucy gave her cape to the girl. When her gaze returned to Miles there were tears in her eyes.
“It’s so loud here though! ‘Thena has really sensitive ears, she usually wears these headphones when she goes out in public that her momma made for her. If she doesn’t then she gets overwhelmed really easily, and she doesn’t have them! She doesn’t even go to school at all because of it, even with the headphones.” Trucy had her fists at her sides and her mouth pressed in a determined line, tears streaming down her cheeks. “She can’t stay here Uncle Miles!”
The officer blinked, “She told you all that?”
Trucy nodded emphatically. It didn’t surprise Miles in the least… he looked over to the quiet trembling girl. He couldn’t help but see himself in her, traumatized, alone, having all of his decisions made for him by adults he didn’t know or trust. If what Trucy was saying is true, then.
He sighed.
“Trucy, stay with her. I’m going to see what I can do.”

Minor note but I think it’s funny that Athena is like… the jock of Ace Attorney. This woman is a tech gal that has a hyperfixation in psychology and she is one of the most athletic characters in the cast.
It’s also just funny how competitive she is. Like with catching the bouquet. She doesn’t care about what the tradition technically stands for, she just wants to win.
In conclusion, I love her.

AA:Dual Destinies but with Professor Layton…
Concept: Athena doesn’t quite complete law school in time to save Simon, she’s one class credit off and therefore will land up being a semester late. She was still studying abroad in Europe at the time.
Athena meets and befriends Flora during her studies, they attend the same college. During this time Flora tells Athena all these amazing stories about her adoptive father Professor Hershel Layton. Before Flora and Athena part ways she encouraged Athena to reach out if she ever found herself in any sort of trouble.
Well, she was certainly in trouble and desperate to find some way to help Simon. She approaches Professor Layton and asks for his help. He’s hesitant at first (he’s limited his adventuring trips because he’s the adoptive father of a literal toddler at the moment) however at the mention of Flora, he reconsiders.
(Also something to note, this means Athena is not present for the first half of Dual Destinies, believe it or not her presence isn’t necessarily a necessity for The Monstrous Turnabout or Turnabout Academy. In this AU, Apollo meets Junie during Turnabout Academy and takes her case up himself, together he and Klavier figure out the truth. Now having been acquainted with Junie, he does save her during the explosion at the courthouse and so on.)
Layton agrees to help Athena, and they leave for LA immediately to investigate the case of Metis Cykes Murder from 15 years ago. Little do they know soon after they get there, there will be another murder in the same place.
Unable to sleep, Athena goes to investigate at the Space Station alone, much like she does in Dual Destinies. She passes out in the museum, and this is how the killer is able to plant her prints on the lighter. Athena wakes up after the incident is over like a whole like 16-18 hours later and reunites with Layton.
During the Cosmic Turnabout, to clear Solomon Starbuck’s name, Apollo and Phoenix land up coming across the lighter, and Athena Cykes is accused.
(At some point during all this Apollo is entering the detention center and comes across Junie, this is when he finds out that she and Athena are childhood friends and she actually asks Apollo to take Athena’s case. He declines, but he starts to feel uncertain of his judgment of the accused Athena.)
When the officers arrest Athena, the Professor calls in a favor of an old friend, Phoenix Wright. Apollo gets upset when he takes her case, and decides to complete his investigation separately from Phoenix. (Also Layton gets to meet Trucy and honestly that makes me more happy than I can express with words, top hat Twinsies)
The hostage situation occurs at the Space Station, causing the exact case from 15 years ago to be retried. This time, the Professor is also allowed to aid in the investigation, and the fic would continue from there.
Oh yeah, and the Phantom is Don Paolo.
