Summary
Business hasn't been going great for Gavin Reed lately. It's hard being a fine jewelry seller when he doesn’t have any fine jewelry to sell in the first place, and no one on the damn island has enough artistic sensibilities to appreciate his painstakingly handcrafted flower globes. (Except for Tina, but only because the flowers were from her in the first place.)
So when a merman offers him a once-in-a-lifetime business deal, Gavin quickly jumps on it. His glass sculptures in exchange for authentic treasure? He'd be a fool not to accept.
And really, what's the worse that could happen?

Summary
Following multiple lawsuits filed against them after the android demonstration back in November 2038, Cyberlife has decided to enter the gaming industry. After all, they had all those unused AIs that they couldn't legally put in android bodies for sale anymore. What better way to recover their reputation than to tap into one of the best pastimes ever?
Detective Gavin Reed wonders how the hell that ploy worked so well. He had always found Cyberlife shady, and while that wouldn’t be changing anytime soon, he also wasn't one to turn down a free gift . . . even if it comes with an unexpected anomaly.
(Connor, now legally a member of the DPD, happily handles a series of seemingly unrelated cases. It wasn't until Hank points it out that he realizes something sinister was going on, and it all seems to be pointing back to Cyberlife.)
A story where two people learn about friendship in a “haunted” Animal Crossing game. (Meanwhile Connor has to deal with shit from Cyberlife. Again.)

Summary
"I am Emmet. I cannot sleep. I want to know why so I can fix the issue and get back on track."
Silence, and then the wooden planchette slowly but deliberately moves along the surface of the board, gradually spelling out a single word.
G. U. I. L. T.
"Hmm . . . not a chance! I think I'd know what guilt feels like, brother."
The ghost pokémon floating a few inches above the dining table sighs. Yamasks are said to be protective of the golden masks bearing carvings of their faces in life, but right now Ingo looks halfway ready to chuck his mask at Emmet and strangle him, lack of opposable thumbs be damned.

Summary
"Nishiki, what does-" he briefly pauses, mulling over how to pronounce the foreign word he saw, "'exercist' mean?"
"'Exercist'?" Nishiki slowly enunciates, brow furrowed. "As in, 'exercise'? Like, someone who exercises?"
"Oh." Kiryu blinks. "So a 'professional exercist' would be . . ."
"Some sort of fitness coach, I guess. Why?"
His thoughts drift back to the advertisement, letters slanted and curved and altogether a bit hard to read, especially since it was written in English. HELP WANTED: PROFESSIONAL EXORCIST. MUST BE GOOD AT EXORCISING BAD SPIRITS. WILL PAY A LOT OF ¥¥¥!

Summary
Phoenix Wright's... shall we say, unorthodox courtroom tactics didn't start with the parrot. Or having his mentor come back from the dead just to tell him to turn over a receipt, and then giving him a list of names to blackmail the blackmailer when that piece of evidence doesn't do the trick. It didn't even start with sounding a clock right there in the courtroom.
It might have started with an incident when he himself was a defendant involving a necklace. However, it certainly didn't stop in the interim period between his own acquittal and his first case.
(In his defense, he thought the gun was unloaded.)

Summary
Simeon Saint was looking forward to the rest of his life in prison...until he runs into a ghost from his past. Literally. And Bronco isn't too thrilled about it, either.
TLDR: Bronco ends up haunting the very same prison Simeon ends up in. Talk about awkward.

You were my crime.

Summary
Bronco’s house is only five minutes away by bike, but with the biting wind in his face, it takes more like ten, and his hands feel like they’re about to fall off. Simeon really hates winter. The wind chill is unpleasant, but what he dislikes the most is the grey: dirty slush on the roads, bare trees, cloudy skies. He can’t fathom what people mean when they say they only see in black and white—he doesn’t even remember a time before there was color—but on days like these, he thinks he gets close to understanding.
Simeon Saint has always seen the world in a splendid wash of color, so when the ability is suddenly torn from him, he must learn to appreciate what he’s taken for granted.
Written for Manosouta Week 2025, Day 7: Soulmates AU
