A/N: Okay, guys! Here is my, now-annual, Advent Calendar Fic! 25 days of a fic! (One chapter for every day until Christmas)
This year, the theme is Turnabout, and that means Edgeworth/Phoenix. It's set after PW3 and Ace Investigations. There will be mystery! There will be laughter! There will be slash! There will be pointless holiday mirth! There will also be a murder! Because nothing says 'Merry Christmas' like a dead person! No, but seriously. You can't have a Phoenix Wright fic without a case, so someone had to die. Luckily, it's an OC, so no one will really care too much! The first few chapters will be mostly about getting ready for the holidays, but the plot and slash will come, I promise! So, without further ado, welcome to the fic, and happy holidays!
December 1
"That was amazing, Nick!" Maya cheered excitedly as they exited the courtroom and entered the defense lobby.
"One of these days, you're going to stop being so impressed with these turnabout victories." Phoenix shook his head, but he, too, was smiling broadly.
"Oh, I doubt that. Going to court with you is always exciting! You're like a superhero, but… not. So you're like a super lawyer!"
"Okay, now you're just buttering me up so I'll buy you burgers."
"Yup!"
"Fine…" Phoenix sighed. He nodded to his opponent from earlier, Winston Payne, as they left the courthouse. Maya's favorite burger place was only a short walk from the courthouse, so within moments they were seated in their usual booth with two cups of cola.
"Mmm, I love the smell of burgers after an amazing courtroom success." Maya happily sipped at her drink. "So… how are we going to decorate the office this year?"
"…decorate?" the lawyer stared at her blankly.
"You know! For Christmas!" she replied, exasperated. "It's December now, we need to start planning!"
"Um… I'll probably put a Santa hat on Charlie—"
"No no no! Think bigger! I'm thinking lights and fake snow and a reindeer and—" Her train of thought was immediately derailed by the arrival of their food. "Wow. These look amazing."
Thankful for the change of topic, Phoenix quickly jumped in and started a discussion on the quality and types of burgers, successfully distracting her for the rest of their time together.
