“I’ve spent the last eighteen hours in transit, Wright. You’ll have to forgive me if I’m not feeling as ‘chill’ as you would like.” Wright’s smirk was replaced by a look of eerie disinterest. “I didn’t ask you to do that.” ~1.5k, set during AA4-2: Turnabout Corner. Ambiguous Narumitsu 7yg situationship. Sort-of hurt/comfort. Based on @nowwheresmynut's art of the same scene

As the end credits of the Steel Samurai anniversary special faded to the DVD episode selection screen, Miles Edgeworth caught a glimpse of his own reflection in the darkened screen. The customary crease between his eyebrows was more pronounced than usual, he thought distantly. It made him look older, frazzled. Exhausted. Perhaps an effect of the roughly fourteen hours he’d spent in the air.

Or perhaps that was how his face always looked in the presence of the man behind him.

“Maya says that’s one of the best episodes,” said Phoenix Wright.

“It’s terrible,” Miles groused, watching the Iron Infant cursor bounce incessantly atop a text box urging them to insert the next disc. “A complete betrayal of the plot they spent the previous five seasons establishing.”

He heard Wright’s smirk without having to look. “Yeah? I’ll cite you in my report.” Two fingers nudged Miles’ shoulder. “Next one?”

Pess's origin story comes from that famous interview with game director Takumi about his own personal character head cannons for Miles. It's the same interview where Takumi imagines that Mitsurugi thinks Naruhodō is pretty 'cute.' Takumi doesn't specifically mention a Borzoi but a 'large dog... with frills.' Borzoi's are a *perfect* fit because they, like Miles Edgeworth, are living contradictions! Have you seen pictures of Borzois? They are so lanky and elegant, but kinda goofy! You just want to boop them on their cute noses and cuddle.

I love fics that are tagged with 'Pess' as a character for many reasons, including that Pess is a wonderful vehicle to humanize our favourite demon prosecutor. He can let his guard down around her and be his true self. In the following fics, we get to see things from Miles' view, and some from Pess'. And in many of these, Pess is a Narumitsu shipper too, as she often plays 'wing man, girl, puppy in a lot of these.

Anyways, the following list of recommendations is a bit of a dog's breakfast in the best of ways: we got some long fics, some drabbles, a lot of ficlets and WOO! for the first time, ART! I hope you enjoy them all as they are listed in no particular order because these are to be shared and celebrated, not ranked (ʋ ◕ᴥ◕) ੭ ♡ *

1. My Mind Still Fears* and Tell the World I'm Coming (Home)** by HopeStoryteller

*Rating: G Words: 810 Read time: 5 mins

**Rating: T Words: 5,995 Read time: 25 mins

In 'My Mind Still Fears' we are introduced to what feels like (to me) a 'Pess-is-Gregory-reincarnate-theory?' au, and in Tell the World I'm Coming (Home), we are given many moments to fan over and appreciate. Right from the start you will get walloped in the feels and that's ok. Miles returns to his family home after 16 years, and Gumshoe, Franziska and yes, Pess are there to support him. Beautiful and funny and touching and like the rest of HopeStoryTeller's excellent Jack-o'-Lanterns in July series, highly recommended.

Sorry, I know I've shared this one before but it is just TOO GOOD not to share again: This is one of those fics I find myself returning to again and again. It just makes me smile and my only complaint is that it is too short. Featuring a very loveable drunk Miles and our favourite responsible caretaker Phoenix with a bonus Pess with delicate kidneys!

Pess adores Miles Edgeworth. Miles Edgeworth adores Phoenix Wright. Pess always tells Miles Edgeworth about his love. Strangely enough, Miles Edgeworth never tells Phoenix Wright about his own love. It's okay. Pess can share it! -aka Pess is a great wingpuppy.

4. Kindred by timepatches

*Rating:G Words: 96, 162 Read time: 6.5 hours

I can't have a Pess-themed list without including Kindred. One of the first Ace Attorney fan fics I've ever read, this fic will charm you in so many ways. It's a Pess lore origin story fic, it's a Miles fic, its a *Case Fic* and yes, there is Narumitsu in it too.

Just like the title suggests, this one is a sweet, fluffy and frilly Pess origin story fic!

Pess is such a good girl, Gumshoe is such a dear heart, as is Phoenix who is the perfect boyfriend and Miles is here being the best furbaby daddy in the centre of all this sweet, fluffy goodness.

*Rating: G Words: 10,188 Read time: 44 mins

Freaking adorable!! As told by Pess’s point of view, this is a lovely tale of what happens when Mikeko briefly joins Pess’s family. Such a sweet read for anyone who loves and sympathizes with our fur babies. (ʋ ಠ ᴥ ಠ) 👍

Another one to read when you are craving something sweet and fluffy, Edgeworth asks Phoenix to dogsit for him for a week and Phoenix makes some discoveries with the help of Pess.

I'm so happy that the author re-uploaded this fantastic fic. Gorgeous story about Kay and Miles going to a dog shelter, but really just being there for each other while on the cusp of change.

10. ART! ART! ART by some of my fav Tumblr artists!

These Pess-related art works have seriously invaded and feed my brain and imagination. They essentially illustrate the hallucinations that traverse my lobes when I read Ace Attorney fan fics. I find them so inspirational, I am so thankful to them for sharing their artwork with us and I strongly encourage you to go support their accounts and kofis etc, if they have one. Enjoy!

Bonus 1: Pess by CraziWriter

Drabble: Pess ties up her leash around Miles and Phoenix. That's pretty much it ; )

Bonus 2: A Turnabout Toast by ideny

Rating: T or M Words: 68,313 Read time: 4.5 hours

Not really a Pess fic, but a really, really really good Narumitsu/7 year gap story, BUTTT - chapters 8 and 9 detail Pess' origin story so strongly, that I remembered them as a stand-alone fic! Thanks again to @dealbreakerstalkshow who helped me find it!

--♡🐾♡--

And that's it for now! Do you have a favourite Pess fic or artwork? Please include it in the tags or comments! I'd love to see it!

Thanks again to all the creators who just seriously just bring so much joy. You're so good! Yes, you are!!! Yes, you are!!!! 💕
