Ace Attorney is a video game series about lawyering. Literally everything I know about it comes via fandom osmosis, and I don't honestly read fic for it very often either. Two of the lawyers are named Miles Edgeworth and Phoenix Wright, and Miles is a legendary prosecutor, and Phoenix is a defense lawyer who never gives up, and they oppose each other across the courtroom! But also they have a ... *complicated* history and relationship. People ship them! It's very childhood-friends-to-rivals-to-lovers!

I am 100% not qualified to summarize *or* rec for this fandom! Even less than some of the others I've already done. But this list is as much a history of my engagement with enemies/rivals archetypes as it is a recs collection, so Ace Attorney belongs on it. Because what I do know about Ace Attorney is: it has a kinkmeme. It was one of the early kinkmemes, started in October 2007 (Possibly *the* first to widely crossover from anime fandom into Western slash fandom awareness?), super popular, full of good fic. I saw it mentioned on my lj friendslist often enough, and Miles/Phoenix was so clearly a good match for my enemyship thing, that I popped over out of curiosity and read what was, at the time, the whole thing.

Looking back at it today I remember more of what I learned about canon from it than I thought I would! I remember nothing at all about which fics I most enjoyed, though. I went through the whole thing in a week or so in a sort of delirious haze and then went away again. I tried poking around the fandom on AO3 but it's just not the same. So I thought I'd go look up the old kinkmeme and see if it was still there.

Folks, it's not just still there, it's still running. Same kinkmeme, continuously rolling from one post to the next, no lulls in active prompting and filling, for almost FOURTEEN YEARS.

So, fuckit, today I'm just linking the whole damn fourteen years of kinkmeme.
