The String Of Fate
The String of Fate
This week, we’re focusing on the theme and origin of our zine: the red string of fate!
The String of Fate revolves around a common belief in East Asian mythology: that two souls are tied together with a red string, and the person at the other end is their true love. The string is usually invisible, but some souls are lucky enough to be granted the chance to see the string. There are many variants on these strings in fanfiction, like having platonic soulmates or not having a string and still finding a life partner.
Our opinion of this AU
Mod Lie and I (Mod Anna) had a lot of fun when crafting the name of this zine. We spent many hours throwing around words about souls being bound together in many different universes, having “Linked Fates” or “Chained Destinies”… a few hours were spent just yelling “Fated Links? Fates? Fated? Links? Linking of the Fates that Are Fated to Be Linked!” XD
When we talked about the string of fate, everything clicked together, talking about the “threads” that tie people together. Funny how we discovered the fate of the zine by talking about the string of fate :)
We wanted to portray TDDK in many different universes, and have sweet and special meetings that draw them together. The “serendipity” is in how Shouto and Izuku are always in the perfect place and time, to find each other, again, no matter which universe they’re in. Maybe there are no destined soulmates in the AU, but for some reason, the stars continue to align, and they want to come back to each other.
Fate is fickle and always ready to trip you up. But sometimes, it can work out in your favor, the “threads” pulling you in the right direction. What is your favorite part about tied destinies? We’re eager to hear your thoughts on this AU! And if you have any other AUs or prompts you’d like to see us discuss, please hit our inbox! We’ll be back next week with another AU! Preorders open soon, so be on the lookout! - Threads Mod Team

NRMT Canon Divergent AU
Phoenix Wright meets Dahlia Hawthorne in the basement of a district court library.
It has to be fate: she gives him a necklace and in one moment to the next, he falls in love. It’s typical boy-meets-girl-who-tries-to-get-him-convicted of murder.
Alas, this last point does stick a wrench in his fairytale. The glass in his stomach—literal, this time—weighs heavy in his gut and he questions the reality he thought he knew.
Phoenix wove a woman into his life, knew her favorite snacks in between classes, the little wiggle of her nose when she got upset, and the snicker she let out when he told a terrible pun. To untangle her from his memories is—fine. It’s fine. The worst of it is over, at least. All he must deal with are the remnants.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise to him. He has never quite been the type to let go. Larry Butz switched his affections with his moods, but Phoenix never understood.
When someone affected his life, when he fell for them, he didn’t want to let them leave. He did everything in his power to allow them to stay. This, of course, includes the one he spent most of his life chasing: Miles Edgeworth.
Writing letters, changing his degree, it all circled a desire to find him, to return to him the friend from so long ago. And yet, Phoenix wonders, for the first time, if Miles doesn’t want to be saved; if Phoenix, truly, is simply unable to forget the person he once knew.
It’s this that makes Phoenix request a degree course change for a second time; he signs away a path and convinces himself that this is what he should do, what he ought to do.
He hopes, still, he has no regrets.

AU where Phoenix decides NOT to pursue law because hey, the Dahlia case puts his life into perspective (i.e. making it all about One Person—not recommended).
Other notes: Mia Fey lives and takes on the defense in Phoenix’s canon cases, narumitsu do meet but in different circumstances, and Phoenix figures out how to build sustainable connections!!!!
kagehina fic
Shouyou’s grin widens. But then, he frowns. “I feel bad for Tanaka-san. I don’t think I’d be a good boyfriend.” He tilts his head. “But it would be nice to date someone I liked.”
“Is there.” Kageyama clenches his hands on the railing. “Is there someone you like?”
“I don’t know.” He runs through the possibilities as he talks. “I’ve never considered it. The only person I’m interested in is you.”
A beat of silence passes. And then, Shouyou’s words catch up to him and the whole day of confusion, of the confession, of his obsession with Kageyama hits him full force.
He groans and sinks to the ground. Grabbing his knees, he curls into a ball. “Is there anyway you can forget what I just said?”
Kageyama sits down far more gracefully. He pats Shouyou on his shoulder. “No.”
Shouyou whines. “I was just—it’s admiration or yeah, let’s go with that but um, well. Please?”
“You like me.”
“I don’t know! Maybe! Probably!?” Shouyou muffles his voice with his palms. “Doesn’t that bother you?!”
Kageyama continues to rub his back. “No.”

From a recent fic I wrote! Probably my favorite confession scene I’ve written in a while.
Everyone in our server knows it’s me so I’ve been given permission to post this a day early 😂
if you like the fic excerpt, full fic is here.
the thing I love about narumitsu is that you can decide when they get together and it automatically makes sense. Childhood friends to lovers? Let me show you all the No DL-6 AUs. Bratfeen years? Intense gay panic for Miles, in-love-at-first-sight Feenie. Post Trilogy? The back and forth between together and not is so great for exes to lovers,,, plus FORGIVENESS!!! 7 year gap? Miles finally gets his shit together and marries the man and adopts their child. Second trilogy? yeah, the dad look is great on them.
is2g it all makes sense when their canon content is so good… when they finally get it right, it goes so well. only matters when you decide to focus it!
This zine is gorgeous, the mods are wonderful, and I’m very proud of all the work everyone put into this (including my own fic >.<). Please check it out if you have the chance!!~~
