Retribution

This is my favorite short story I've done for the meme.  It's just... wicked.  It's nothing like my head cannon, but it's twisted.

It had been years since the two men had met, but there were some wounds that had a habit of eluding the famous healing power of time. The flash of silver and magenta in the hallway made Phoenix’s heart jump, although not ( Read more... )

This is rebelintosanity's new journal.

Personally I am always up for darkfic out of you, because when you hit the prompt, you fucking nail it. idk what Phoenix/Edgeworth prompts I'd want filled though, OTL

I'd post everything you've done here, just to have it all collected for people's pleasure somewhere besides the meme. I think you're Meme's favorite author that's actually anon.

Actually, I came out for everything I could think of on the friending meme, and nobody commented here or there, so I figured I'm old news or something. Maybe people can't take my user name seriously, although I'll admit that's why I chose this one. That was before I was planning to write fics, though.

On second thought, I should dig up some of the old darkprompts I never finished before I start more.

Where did you get that icon? It's pretty. NOM

Heh, no one friended anyone on the friending meme really, it was kinda fail. A lot of the writers from parts 1-3 have moved onto other shiny toys like the dressing room RP or have been in and out of the internet like you. I've stuck around for the lulz.

Have you considered posting moar on G_S or igiari? I know you don't do much porn anymore, but shit, people post everything on igiari these days.
God, I know the feeling. I've picked up like four prompts I can't seem to get more than a page or so through, despite having ideas (oh god the Edgeworth/Fran one that got into my brain and won't get out). I'm sure you've got a bunch of old darkfic prompts Anon would love - they eat up the Edgeworth rape, man, they really do. It's kind of depressing, since all I do is Edgeworth non-rape.

Oh, it is pretty, isn't it. bubblemilk had an PW fanart icon dump back in December, and I got it in that.

Well, there's not making a bunch of friends, and then there's no response. So far all my attempts to de-anon have fallen under the later. I think I make a much better anon than an author, but I've been thinking about posting some fics that I never finished or didn't fit the prompt. Most of my emo fics sound really cheesy if I don't finish them pretty fast.

I was rereading this for the umpteenth time, and decided that it was just silly to keep lurking. This fic is somewhat of a discrepancy on my list of favorites (which usually consists of fluff, smut, and more fluff), but I adore it regardless. It's just so... deliciously evil. I think you're at your best when you write dark dialogue.

I also recalled a story that you wrote some months ago called "Dirty Bathroom Talk," which was my favorite semi-dark fic at the time for its dialogue and (apparent) one-sidedness. Upon rereading it today, I discovered that it was even sadder than I remembered. D: I still love it, though it felt unresolved and made me sad - but then again, maybe that's why I loved it.

Anyway, I just thought I'd stop by to let you know how much I've always enjoyed your writing. (Somehow I always seem to come back to your writing, so I feel kinda bad for never commenting.) And if you don't post everything you write on this journal, I'd love to see what else you've written. *___*

First of all, wow. This is probably the nicest comment I've ever gotten. Thank you.

It took forever to figure out which fic Dirty Bathroom Talk was. I gues that says something about me and bathroom sex. I think most of it's problem was that it was before I'd played the third or fourth games, and Phoenix was still a little too much of a bubbly uke without real problems, so he still had nothing better to do than try to heal Edgeworth's scars. Also, it was unresolved because that's about when I got into Kink Meme fics. It was actually supposed to have a real ending.

The fourth game made it hard for Narumitsu, though. I love those two, but it's been hard wrapping my mind around the idea that they just won't see each other for seven years. Every time I try to invision it, angst comes out. I preffer reading fluff/smut to dark!fic, so it's odd.

Although sometimes for the sake of couples I just assume Hobohodo ends every sentence about family with a silent "And my HAWT boyfriend too."

You're very welcome. I meant it - and I didn't want you to go thinking that you were "old news" or that people weren't interested in your writing, because it's not true. I think you should consider archiving your work here (or just linking to your submissions on the kink meme) so that people can mem your posts. Like I said, it's always nice to return to your writing.

... XD Heh. Yeah, GS4 did kind of dash all my fangirl hopes and dreams ruin the whole Phoenix/Edgeworth dynamic. I haven't entirely struck out the idea that Edgeworth might've been helping from behind the scenes during the 7 year gap (or better yet, actually BEEN THERE the whole time), and that seems to be what most of fandom has agreed on. Some authors do it better than others... though they all grasp at least a little bit to make it work. But the alternative is just so ANGSTY and painful that I can't bear it. D:

I didn't like how Phoenix was in 4. I just didn't think he was acting at all like Phoenix, and I didn't like the way he was with Trucy, always casual and leaving her alone. Just didn't seem like him. I hate when people assume Edgeworth dumped him because A: he believed the evidence was forged, and B: He can't forgive him or even wait for an explanation. And of course, he's not interested in getting to the truth of it. The whole game left a bitter taste in my mouth. I really like fics that can make it all somehow work.

I don't know how many fics I've done for the meme, a dozen? maybe a few? A lot of them are unfinished, and I hate coming out for those > >; but I was thinking of putting some stuff up and hoping for some betaing so I'll have something for the Wright-a-thon.
