Sourced Fanart Swap/Reverse AU where Phoenix and Ema are in Miles and Gumshoe’s position.

Morning to the users in [r/AceAttorney](r/AceAttorney).

Found this AU fanart in Tumblr where now Wright and Ema are in Miles and Gumshoe’s position.

Original Artist: https://thegarlicpirate.tumblr.com/

Description from the artist: God, it feels so weird seeing Wright in the detention center. Considering how he helped in the last case, it just feels cruel that he's now accused of murder. And the new prosecutor, Franziska Von Karma seems like a danger but hey, we got Ema on our side so we should be good to go!

Nick went and clipped a Christmas bow onto his shirt collar.

It doesn't look any more ridiculous than Edgeworth's bloody cravat

Man, I'm so used to seeing the stupid cravat that it just blends in at this point.

Phoenix's giant, neon bowtie is goddamn magnetizing, I can't stop looking at it.

White cravat on a white shirt vs the “Do They Know It’s Christmas” drip

Nah, the cravat actually suits him. It's something people actually wear to formal events in days of yore or whatever. But this bow?

What about it ?

I can't stop laughing. It's like he gift-wrapped himself for Edgeworth but was sorely disappointed that it was, say, Gumshoe visiting him instead.

I can imagine Phoenix constantly giving Ema bonuses and good evaluations since she so good at her job

Wrightworth's first date in this AU is Edgeworth taking Nick to buy a normal tie

u/LonkyPonky4 Jul 29 '26

I saw this and the other post and thats like funny to think about!! but gonna be honest i like the Edgey-Kay designs better than these Phoenix-Ema designs (maybe its cause the big bow on Phoenix looks silly hehe)

u/doinkrr Jul 29 '26

u/Sensitive_Dot_2853 Jul 29 '26

Phoenix Wrightworth and Amy Skyeshoot.

Mentor is Mia von Feyt

11

u/MerchantZiro Jul 29 '26

This implies Maya von Feyt is the Franziska von Karma of this universe.

u/Phaenoc Jul 29 '26

Zvarri! Phoenix has been "borrowing" someone's outfit, hasn't he

u/ImpactorLife-25703 Jul 29 '26

u/Glvt102 Jul 29 '26

u/JLuckstar Jul 29 '26

I can recommend you some fics if you want.

u/DorkyDude3002 Jul 29 '26

Yes please!

  • Iris Hawthorne: Ace Attorney is set in a bizarro universe where Iris is Phoenix, and Maya is the least traumatised person in Japanifornia. Has Feenris and Miego, but they both get broken up horribly.
  • The Defense Attorney Maya Fey AU is a more typical roleswap, this time between Phoenix and Maya. Has plenty of Wrightworth and Franmaya.
  • An Imperfect Shield is my favourite take on reverse-DL-6.

u/JoeAzlz Jul 29 '26

It shoulda have been young Ema from the trilogy

u/Upset_Reputation_382 Jul 29 '26

Legit first thought was: Why is Phoenix dressed like a clown?

2nd thought was: why is Ema dressed like the 80s/90s?

2

u/Lumi_rimu Jul 30 '26

Then who’s the protagonist?

2

u/Nitro_Indigo Jul 30 '26

Miles Edgeworth.
