A/N: I do not own Phoenix Wright, Zacharias Barnham, Maya Fey or anyone else in PLVSPW universe; they belong to CAPCOM and level-5. The plots, however, are mine.

A NEW SERIES! I've done this in the same style as I do in "Family Ties," taking a peek into the daily life of Zacharias and Phoenix. I LOVE doing "Family Ties" and decided that I also wanted to do one for BarnWright, as well. I will add to it over time.
I called it "Crossed Swords" since there will be some in-court shorts and, while Phoenix doesn't have a literal sword (unlike Zacharias, who does), they still do "cross swords" in court. ^_^ (Thank you to both fujy50 and my husband for their input! ^)^ )
Hope you enjoy! ^_^

Phoenix Wright x Zacharias Barnham Residence

8 P.M.
"Zacharias!" Phoenix's voice called out from the kitchen and Zacharias looked up from the book that he had been engrossed in for the past half hour. "Dinner's almost ready!"
"I'll be there in a moment, Phoenix!" Zacharias smiled as he finished the newest chapter in his book, putting the leather bookmark that Phoenix had given him as a Christmas gift and closing it with a sigh of satisfaction.
The Inquisitor stood up and walked into the dining room where Phoenix had the table set, nodding appreciatively at how attractive and enticing everything looked. Phoenix came into the room, holding a bubbling pot of homemade stew and Zacharias chuckled as he saw KISS THE COOK on the apron he was wearing, a gag gift from Maya last Christmas.
"Don't mind if I do..." Zacharias grinned appreciatively at his lover as Phoenix put the pot on the trivet on the table, chuckling softly. He came up from behind him and wrapped his arms around his waist, closing his eyes and nuzzling the back of Phoenix's neck affectionately. "Mmmmm... it smells wonderful..."
Phoenix grinned as he half turned, planting a soft kiss on Zacharias' lips, murmuring appreciatively against his lover's mouth. They parted afterward, turning and walking over to the small round table, sitting down at opposite ends. Phoenix took Zacharias' plate and dished up some of the stew while Zacharias filled his small salad plate with a roll, some salad and pickles, taking the plate from him with a soft smile.
