I really have to applaud your imagination, as well as the excellent writing. This works, a crossover I never thought would be possible.

It's a shame Tousen wasn't listening in; the man could pick up a few pointers.

Thank you! I'm very glad you liked it.

(It was tempting to put Tousen in somewhere, but he would have polarised the conversation and made it too easy for Edgeworth to see what was going on.)

Having Tousen involved would definitely have changed the dynamic of the conversation: not only would Aizen fail with Edgeworth, he'd also risk Tousen re-thinking his loyalties. I guess it will be up to Hisagi at some point to talk/knock some sense into his former Taichou.

Pretty much, yes. We'll have to see where that goes . . .

That is a most interesting take on such a meeting. (Ah, Gin, on your own side, aren't you? No matter who you're following.)

Very glad you liked it. :)

Mmmmmmm... *purrs in absolute joy*

Yes, Tousen would have skewed the dynamics and twisted the resolution into something of a repeat confrontation with Gant which clearly has no place in this story.

As usual everyone is impeccably IC and your prose is brimming with fantastically understated richness. I think I'm in love.

You also got what very few others - at least as far I can see in online AA fandom - get, that Edgeworth goes on his self-quest not to jettison everything Manfred has taught him, but to sieve the grain from the chaff and integrate it in a larger - and more socially virtuous - philosophy of the very meaning of justice. Aizen really has no chance against that clarity of vision.

The last sentence really sums it all up, it's a such a beautiful and succinct paean to humanism. Lovely.

Edited because I can't spell.

Thank you very much!

Yes, I also see Edgeworth not so much rejecting everything about Manfred von Karma, but trying to take the good things from it. I'm glad that came through, and that you like it. Simply totally rejecting von Karma, or putting all the blame for everything on him, is ... well, missing the truth.
