Summary
After losing his father, Miles Edgeworth’s life drastically changed all too quickly before he could process it. It was suddenly a new country, new home, new life in the von Karma household. Always striving for perfection to be the model disciple of Manfred von Karma. At times, it was suffocating, to keep up with his studies, all while the nightmares and his grief about his father’s death continue to plague him every day. But even on the darkest days, he could always rely on his sister Franziska, even when he felt like he was all alone with nothing but his own thoughts. However, eventually, as all things in life, their close sibling relationship started fading away, too. But perhaps, there is hope for Miles to become a worthy brother, once again, one whom his sister can rely on, just as he relied on her in their childhood…
Or: Miles and Franziska’s lives together as adopted siblings, helping each other through Manfred’s abusiveness, drifting apart as they get older, until they finally get reunited again and mend their bond.

Summary
It was not merely an escape but a journey—one that demanded reflection. Miles Edgeworth sought answers that only distance and time could offer, and in doing so, he was compelled to face the echoes of his past, the weight of his present, and the uncertainty of his future. He wrestled with the shadow of who he had been, questioned the identity he wished to claim as a prosecutor, and struggled against the unexpected stirrings of romantic feelings toward Phoenix Wright. Within that crucible of confrontation, Miles Edgeworth experienced nothing less than an ego death.
A narration framing the infamous choice—“Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth chooses death”—not as a literal suicide, but as the metaphorical death that marks the beginning of his transformation.

Summary
'The front end was crushed, the tree directly in the middle, making what looked like an incredibly morbid sandwich. All of the windows were shattered, scattering broken glass around the scene, and a deflated airbag that had made its way through the windshield flew up and down in the wind like a vengeful ghost. The smell of smoke was drifting faintly around the car, but it had mostly cleared up, which was both a relief and a terrifying indication that the car had, in fact, been there since the earthquake.'

Or: An earthquake-induced flashback causes Miles Edgeworth to run his car into a tree. Unsurprisingly, this creates a few problems.

The destiny of Franziska von Karma by EndigoExists

Summary
What do you want to do? It was a simple question. Yet, Franziska did not know the answer. They didn’t know what they wanted with their life. It should have been an easy question. They should know the answer. But they didn’t.
They were only nineteen. Maya was right. They had plenty of time to figure things out. Franziska had plenty of time to choose what they wanted to do. Not the path their father forced them down. No, Franziska would choose their own destiny, their own future. They would bring glory to the von Karma name. True glory. Not the false fame their father brought.
It's true, they could choose her own path, but for now they needed to rest. They needed to think. They needed a break. What better place to do that than with the person who helped them come to that realization? The girl who gave Franziska an odd sense of security.TLDR: Franziska von Karma tries to better themself and has Maya to support them along the way
