    Summary

    In what is to be one of many times when he feels desperately lost, Clive latches onto one person who seems to have his whole life mapped out: Miles Edgeworth, prodigy and soon-to-be-prosecutor. Unfortunately, Miles' future plans do not involve Clive. But that's fine;* Clive can find himself in someone else. Or something else. Or somewhere else. Or--

    *It's not fine. His attachment to Miles ran too fast and too deep, and Miles' sudden, silent departure felt just enough like a permanent loss to trigger the growth of Clive's wings: huge, unwieldy things which Miles does not share. So were his feelings unrequited? Are they soulmates or aren't they? Is this all just an enormous understanding? And would anyone's answer to any of these questions actually feel like "the truth"?

    (Or: Semi-linear scenes from an AU where a person fledges wings only after they believe their soulmate lost to them.)

    Summary

    “I sell you no phony forgiveness— I’m a desperate man.”
    -Ralph Ellison

    -

    He doesn’t know how to do this. He is cold and hard. Made for war, not for weeping. But he needs to believe otherwise; needs to know there is something still inside of him that was human, that could break, that could be reduced to skin and bone and salt, ashes, embers. He wanted to know there was something in him that could still be damaged. That could still bleed.

    (That could still grow back.)

    “You are not worthy of condemnation, Angela,” promised the man made of metal, and flesh, and miracles. It was the first time he called her by that name. The taste of it lingered in his mouth.

    -

    (OR: Angela is hurt, and Genji knows.)

    Summary

    “Whatever you’re plotting, I will stop you.” Emmy prowled into his space, baring her teeth. “It’s only a matter of time.”

    Dove tilted his head, considering; then smirked, as if she were a puzzle easily solved.

    “Good luck with that.”

    Summary

    Just a few feet away from her, there now stood a man. A man she didn’t need help identifying. No, she was aware of who he was, even with having only been connection to him through memories, letters, and a single ripped photo.

    She knew the sight of her own Papa.
