(I finally got around to my request queue, so sorry for the wait guys. That's not to say I haven't been writing, but most of it has been for some other projects, and so this collection of pieces has been what's suffering. But, I'm back on 'em, so enjoy the crack-y goodness. This was a request from SerenityBlue on Wright and related characters belong to Capcom…who are nice people and don't want to sue me.
Challenge: Write a Klavier + Edgeworth fic, mainly focusing on how Edgeworth views Klavier. Pre-GS4)
It was always an odd thing to watch a young prosecutor come in. Many of them came in full of fire and idealism only to be found fighting for a verdict in a couple of years. Edgeworth had been the opposite, however, as he had fought solely for the "guilty" verdict until an old friend had come traipsing into his life and gleefully shattered all of his assumptions. He'd then spent a great deal of time mulling over what it truly meant to be a prosecutor, before finally coming to the conclusion that prosecutors and defense attorneys had the same goal: to see that true justice was served.
Edgeworth generally paid little attention to rookies, especially now when he was making plans to move to Europe indefinitely (Franziska wouldn't leave him alone until he did), but Klavier Gavin's arrival had sparked such a stir that he'd been roused to curiosity. The people mainly causing said stir were the female members of the office (Edgeworth had long ago given up trying to understand them, despite the fact that many of them still attempted to ask him out on a monthly basis). Edgeworth found the man himself to be slightly disappointing however, as he was a young kid who had barely begun his career, and not all that remarkable looking, despite the amount of women in the office who mooned over him. If it weren't for his relation to the somewhat well known defense lawyer, Kristoph Gavin (his older brother, in fact as Edgeworth found out later) Edgeworth would have paid him no mind.
It was only on closer inspection though, that Edgeworth saw the differences between Klavier and the other rookies. Klavier, to sum it up, was very laid-back and willing to deal with things as they came. Most rookies were eager and often found themselves in over their heads faster than they could turn around. Klavier's approach was what would be expected of a veteran prosecutor. Even though he hadn't handled a case yet, he seemed to have a good understanding of how to handle them. In a couple of years, he might be a very good prosecutor.
On the eve of his departure Edgeworth flipped through the file for an upcoming case, "State v. Arumajiki". The prosecutor was listed as Klavier Gavin, the defense was Phoenix Wright. Edgeworth smirked to himself, Interesting…I may just have to stay in the country to see this.
