"mav meets his granddaughter for the first time" PLEASE i am begging!!!!
"Phoenix and I were thinking Nickie'd call you Grandpa," Bradley says, and Maverick's knees go weak on him. "You and Ice." He gulps and rocks back on his heels, offering an awkward grin that was pure Goose. "If...if you wanted."
Maverick tries to speak, but can't quite make any words come out. He swallows and looks down at Nickie again, her little pink face, the balmy, soapy smell of her skin, the wisps of dark brown hair peeking out from under the knit cap. The light blue of her eyes and the bow of her lips, a sweet little echo of Carole’s face. Carole's granddaughter. Goose's granddaughter.
His granddaughter too, if he wanted.
"What do you think, sweetheart?" Nickie blinks up at him and smacks her lips together, whining. Maverick laughs, shifting his hold so she can be more comfortable. "Huh? That sound good to you?"
send me one of my WIPs and i'll tell you all about it!
It’s so fucked bc like. Rui never really had friends before especially not any that are as important to him as the rest of wxs so he’s so incredibly unused to basic very human emotions like loving your friends that whenever he indulges these feelings & works towards keeping wxs together he’s like I’m so selfish. As if the rest of wxs doesn’t want to stay together too. Him saying he was greedy for staying w wxs in curtain call (why don’t I want to follow Facts And Logic and pursue my goals why do I feel sad abt leaving my friends) … him saying he’s selfish for getting wxs to go freelance (I believe the implication is that he feels like he’s getting in the way of emu’s dreams as if emu didn’t choose to join them & is very happy to be there) his intense fear of abandonment/being “too much” for his friends -> guilt complex over loving his friends. (Horse on a beach dot jpeg) Man…. I don’t think he comprehends how much wxs values him (& their friendship as a group). Guy who would do anything for his friends shocked to discover they would do anything for him in return.
God, reminds me that I wrote a (currently unfinished) fanfic for my Ryuenix AU. The idea was that Karuma has been in the Naruhodo line's possession up until Phoenix and, around after Dual Destinies, he decides that he'd give it back to Asogi's descendant (I named him Gisei Asogi), only for him to be killed and Phoenix to be framed. Apollo had to defend him in court.
In context, before this trial, Ryunosuke being Phoenix's ancestor was NOT common knowledge due to past prejudice he and his family faced in the area he lived in when he was little so his parents decided to ditch the Naruhodo name and became the Wrights, trying their hardest to be accepted in the American society and not mentioning their Japanese heritage (despite how famous Ryunosuke was). I figure that, despite the anti-Japanese sentiment and anti-immigrant were not enacted in Japanifornia as it is irl, there'd still a bit prejudice against Japanese people due to WW2. Because of this, Phoenix has an internalized fear of rejection if he were to out himself as Ryuichi Naruhodo (an unfounded fear in the current state of Japanifornia but still).
So like, in trial, Apollo initally managed to capitalized on the fact that the supposed killer was someone named 'Naruhodo R.' and not Phoenix thus having little to no motive on the case, only for the prosecution (I wrote Simon in the fic) to reveal his birth name, pulling him back as the suspected culprit.
That's as far as I wrote, but I remember the actual killer was Gisei Asogi's Western wife Mina Discree. I forgot her motive but given the pun in her name, I think it has something to do with xenophobia. Or that she viewed the Naruhodo as unworthy of Karuma but has little love for Gisei that's why she killed her husband to implicate Phoenix idk
Afterwards, Phoenix wasn't found guilty and ended up sending Karuma back to the living Asogi family members in order to maintain good relationship between the two. I can see that the Naruhodo-Asogi relationship started to deteriorate after a certain generations, only rekindled recently by Phoenix and Gisei's generation.
btw in my fem!Phoenix AU where she's spiritually sensitive, she can't really channel any spirits (without a whole lot of training) EXCEPT Kazuma when she's holding Karuma because his soul clings onto his family blade and he can't really play with his sword while dead so he just uses sheer stubbornness to get back into the realm of the living. So sometimes Phoenix just has some sick sword skills.
