Summary

With von Karma, there’s instead some sort of agonizing pseudoproximity. They’re peers, almost. Or at least they could have been in a world where she wasn’t better than Ema in every conceivable way. Franziska von Karma, a woman who was further along in her career at age 13 than Ema is now. The kind of woman you can look at and know: this is someone who’s never had to try and figure out when her last shower was by gauging her armpit hair growth.

The murder of an elderly record label executive finds Ema and Klavier assisting Franziska von Karma in an ongoing Interpol investigation. One relationship between detective and prosecutor starts to sprout as the other begins to buckle.

a comic featuring iris and dahlia from ace attorney. page 1 of 4

the two girls are out in the nature of hazakura temple having a conversation. a photorealistic velvet ribbon runs across the page

DAHLIA: I think i have to kill him.
IRIS: The lawyer?
DAHLIA: The ditzy college boy. Keep up.
DAHLIA: He's like, actually in love with me! How are so many of them THAT stupid?
IRIS: Haha...
IRIS: Maybe... Maybe there's another way... You could be melissa again. Just for a little while. Until things have cooled off in the city..
DAHLIA: And then the cops start a manhunt when their favorite person of interest skips town. How is that gonna 'cool off' anything, genius?
IRIS: Unless Dahlia Hawthorne doesn't go anywhere at all.
DAHLIA: ...You can't be serious.

Page 2 of 4. Iris has Dahlia dye her hair red and then wears her clothes to meet up with Phoenix at the college.

IRIS: Hey! You're pulling a bit hard.
DAHLIA: Suck it up.
DAHLIA: Huh, you're actually kinda pulling it off.
DAHLIA: It helps that you don't look so fucking dour for once.
PHOENIX: Dollie!

Page 3 of 4. Montage of Iris living a relatively normal college life with phoenix with torn paper scraps featuring senryu poems taped on top. Interspersed throughout are iris's thoughts.

IRIS: The city is so loud...
[Carried past extremes, the mistakes of sonneteers cry out for blasting]
IRIS: THe months feel like they're slipping past in the blink of an eye.
[Society speaks in fine, fine, fine. fine formats. very abuseful.]
IRIS: Is Bikini doing okay on her own?
IRIS: Dollie really left me this time didn't she.
[I live in the West, my work's in the East]
IRIS: It still doesn't feel... real.
IRIS: He's so nice to me. Maybe too nice, even.
[I'll be buried in the north.]
IRIS: What now? What am I supposed to do now, Dollie?

page 4 of 4. Iris and phoenix chat. Later, Dahlia shows up sitting on iris's bed.

PHOENIX, while holding onto his necklace: You haven't asked for it back even once today. Are you sure you're feeling okay?
IRIS: Well, you'd just say no again.
[I grab the robber]
IRIS: Wouldn't you?
PHOENIX: Of course!
[And find I've caught my own son.]
DAHLIA: I see you bought new sheets.
IIS: D...Dollie!
DAHLIA: Well? Did you do it? Or do you need me to fix everything for us. Again.

franema crumbs for the yuri warriors #aceattorney

I did an #aceattorney exchange on tumblr recently, and my prompter asked for a #ghosttrick au starring vera! I had a ton of fun working on it. Here's the cover, sprites, and backgrounds I edited.

Ghost trick box art edited to say Ghost Trick: Phantom Forget with vera misham dead in the signature ass-up pose

Character sprites drawn to mimic the ghost trick style. Kristoph gavin, phoenix wright, apollo justice, trucy wright, and two of vera misham; one older and one younger

photobashes of several ghost trick backgrounds to mimic drew studios from ace attorney. One regular background, and one in the ghost world, which is purple, featuring several cores in various paintings and art supplies scattered around the room
