Hiya, call me PD or Pickle, either is good! I use they/them pronouns and am currently a mildly old multi-fandom disaster on main (!) 😎 All social media is rated Choose Not To Warn. This Dreamwidth mostly serves as a personal archive of my fannish-adjacent writing, exchange related logistics, and archival text. I'm always open to fannish chats, including about fic, and can be reached most easily on Tumblr or here. I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are and remember: there’s always a human on the other side of the screen <3

Social Media Links:

Art and Fic on Ao3 @ Pickledragon (Main) and Ao3 @ Cucumberwyrm (Alt for Ficlets/Salt). Art also on Tumblr @ Pickledragon.

of, or related to: justice (Ace Attorney)
Four ways Trucy discovers she has a brother (and a mother.)(4,572 words.)

and usefulness acquires by being used (Ace Attorney)

Rise Peter, Kill and Eat. (Hannibal)
"Dr. Lecter will be out for the rest of the day due to personal matters. He apologizes for the inconvenience." Considering the short notice, Hannibal supposes it's better than a sign saying, "Gone Fishing." (1,100 words.)

The sweetest game-style art you've ever seen, featuring a late night at the office!

with great Powers - Maya Fey/Will Powers
A superhero AU, where Powers trained under and alongside Maya, and they decide to meet each other out of costume for the first time!

blood tells - Phoenix/Trucy Wright/Apollo Justice and Phoenix/Miles Edgeworth
A brutal zombie apocalypse AU with enough complicated family and other relationships to fuel a disaster.

Bury Me Deep Inside Your Heart - Maya/Mia
Emotional scars manifest as physical scars - a look at the love and the harm between the Fey sisters.

Read/Look at them. Doo ittttt. They're so good!!! Now onto the rest of the collection!

A New Ship in Three Works (Gumworth Recs)

Mar. 28th, 2022 10:05 am
pickledragon: an abstract drawing of pickledragon (Default)
Clickbait Title: Gumworth Is Good and Here's Why!

Assembling my favorite Dick Gumshoe/Miles Edgeworth fics in a trilogy of recs: one's my own as a fun cheat, but the other two are masterworks, so it balances out ;)

Warm Drafts by Pyrasaur
Playing off of Miles' love of Steel Samurai? Check. Gumshoe's amazing character voice and a deliciously great pastiche of fandom? Double check! Pyrasaur is such a master of these small bites of canon-adjacent relationship explorations - it's fluffy without sacrificing fluffy substance: just a real joy to read if you havent.

Turnabout Dog Days by ArisTGD
Aside from being one of my favorite explicit Ace Attorney fics period, this is an ArisTGD classic: all of her signature character deep dives and a truly delicious meal of consent and kink negotiation. Did you have a Gumshoe as a puppy kink before reading this? Well, would you like one? Also doubles as a really good way of integrating Gumshoe/Maggey with Gumworth, if that's your fancy (or, once again, if you'd like it to be ;P).

And Yet We Trust by pickledragon (me)
Nepotism for Gumworth makes it okay! When I write one-off fics for ships, I usually do it as a thesis for why the ship works - mixing some classic guilt for the way Miles treats Gumshoe in AA1 with that constant steadfastness that Gumshoe gives him. Add in some Christmas party angst and that trope of revisiting a scenario but as less of a jerk and you get a very interesting time.
