    Summary

    “What the hell was that incantation you spat earlier?” Miles asks.

    Phoenix’s lips twitch.

    “Limp Bizkit,” he answers. And then he adds, desperate, “Please say it. Please, Miles. For me.”

    Miles cringes. But, behold, he parts his lips and delivers a beautiful, beautiful:

    “Limp biscuit.”

    And the laugh this provides Phoenix carries him all the way into the royal blue sky that stretches across the afternoon, where Truce calls him up and he can finally give her the news. Calm, clinical:

    “I’m stuck in the land of shit and honey with Miles Edgeworth. Hold down the fort for me.”

    (In Florida for a legal conference, Phoenix and Miles find their flight home cancelled courtesy of a hurricane churning through the panhandle, and thus decide to take a little road trip.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Rarely do I find a writing style with such a beautiful balance of humor and those deep, aching feels

    He misses the consonant of the Russian ‘nyet’. The English ‘no’ just makes you sound like a pussy. The way the vowel can keep rolling and rolling and rolling. Nooooo. Nooooooooooo. Like a sullen toddler at the skirts of its mother. God, have all his analogies always been so child and parent centered?

    “So,” Yuna says, as she polishes off her third glass of cabernet. “When are you boys going to get started on kids?”

    Shane chokes on his tiramisu.

    Or: Maybe Shane doesn’t want kids.

    This fic single-handedly cured me of the burning rage/fatigue combo I feel when it comes to kidfics. I can now see a kidfic from any fandom whatsoever and feel normal about it. It reinforced my 'if you don't like it ignore it and move on' agenda with steel and then some. Thank you.

    Summary

    After Ilya leaves the cottage, Yuna comes over to cheer Shane up. And maybe—maybe—excavate some shit she's buried inside herself.

    Basically I think Yuna and Shane should let their hair down and gossip a little. And, you know. Heal.
