Summary
Phoenix knows the truth.
He was convenient.
A commoner with no connections, no noble ties—easy to manage, easy to dismiss. Someone who could be married off to Prince Miles Edgeworth without a fuss. The palace had taken him from his life, scrubbed him clean of his past, and slotted him into a role that fit their agenda. He is not a husband. He is a tool.
In the rare moments where Phoenix has allowed himself to think about it, the reality of their marriage stings. He doesn’t exactly have a reference for what a good marriage looks like, but even he knows that he is now bound to a stranger who treats him like a ghost.
OR: Arranged marriage + royalty AU where Phoenix agrees to marry Prince Miles Edgeworth to save him but Miles spends the first few years of marriage pretending that Phoenix does not exist.

Summary
“In your previous testimony you stated, ‘Don’t ever show your face in front of me again.’ Isn’t that right?” Phoenix asked pointedly.
“Yes…” Edgeworth replied, his face a mask.
Phoenix smirked and declared, “There is a clear contradiction in your statement.”
Phoenix refuses to accept Edgeworth’s rejection and makes it his mission to reach out and rekindle their friendship. They find comfort in each other as Phoenix grieves for Mia and learns to trust again, while Edgeworth grapples with the trauma of his past and future as a prosecutor — along the way, they also fall in love. As Maya puts it, they develop a friends to enemies to friends to lovers relationship.
A romance set during Gyakuten Saiban 1.
Silly with a side of serious, plus lots of banter and fluff!

Summary
Following a violent run-in with a witness that leaves Miles considerably injured and unable to remember far more than just the incident that caused it, he's willingly looked after by Phoenix—who's bizarrely doting and tender with him to a degree he can't recall Phoenix ever being before, and who seems to be unaware of the full extent of his injury.
For the first time in his life, Miles doesn't really know what to do about that.
(Amnesia fic; takes place a few short months after AA6/Spirit of Justice).

Summary
Phoenix never thought much about how Miles greets people—until he sees him kiss someone else on the cheek. It shouldn’t bother him. But it does. And now, Phoenix can’t stop spiralling, avoiding Miles, and questioning why it stings so much. When Miles finally corners him for answers over dinner, on Valentine's Day, Phoenix is forced to confront the truth: maybe it was never about the kiss at all.
