Linebeck headcanons that have been stewing in my mind and will soon boil over if I don’t share:
part two: x
(under the cut because this is a bit long)
He’s autistic and typically keeps it a secret unless he’s really comfortable with someone.
His hair is just Like That. He’s got a weird cowlick and his hair just curls at the ends and there’s nothing he can do about it. He gets his hair wet and the cowlick dries back into being upright. He has no desire to change it.
Despite comparing Link to one in his letter, he’s scared of dogs.
He’s 6’ 8” tall and I’m not taking constructive criticism.
He enjoys music, and can play piano. He also has some decent music theory knowledge and has written a few small compositions and knows the basics of conducting.
He’s gay and normally keeps it secret but will either tell people if he trusts them or if he’s worried that they think the contrary of him.
He’s good with his hands but when he gets nervous or scared they shake a lot, so he tends to put his hands in his pockets when he’s scared or nervous.
His insomnia is bad enough that he sometimes goes for days without sleep, and sometimes ends up awake for so long that he begins hallucinating before he finally falls asleep.
He loves and knows a lot about snakes, so if he sees a harmless snake, he’ll usually go and pick it up and fail to tell anyone around him that it’s harmless.
He also loves cats, and makes a point to keep a bit of leftover caught fish for island cats he comes across, if he’s headed to or at an island with cats.

Oh YEAH update on the borrower Edgeworth family AU!
Read the first bit here
Anyone else here grew up watching The Borrowers (1997) countless times?
Summary:
Gregory is caught by MvK and it doesn't look good
??? Idk I'm just doing whatever at this point already. Making an outline is wasted on me we go full adhd mode here
Not really story spoilers for AA1-4, but there may be some dots being connected here and there.
TW for suffocation.
----------------------
Panic raced through Gregory's body. He did not dare to look what exactly stopped him from leaving the desk in Von Karma's office. Gregory felt almost nauseous when he was put back on the desk at what felt like an enormous speed.
He looked up at the Bean he was borrowing from for decades. Never had they stood eye to eye. And it took a solid minute for one of them to start talking.
"What in heaven's sake is this nonsense supposed to be?!"
Gregory swallowed. What was he supposed to do? If he'd run, Von Karma would catch him. Standing here was of little help either. He took a deep breath and uttered:
"I-I know what you do."
Gregory had hoped that he would at least sound tough, but he felt his voice trembling and knees shaking. He still had the Autopsy paper tied around his waist. Von Karma stared in awe at this response and laughed:
"That is what you have to say?"
He leaned forward and brought his head closer to Gregory, who flinched at the sight.
"First, you steal my belongings, and then you dare sabotage my perfect case?"
Von Karma moved his hand towards Gregory, which prompted him to grab the pin he carried around for self-defense. Gregory never had to do this in his life before, yet managed to be quick enough to stab Von Karma's hand. It may not have been deep, but blood prickled from the palm.
"You insolent little-!"
Von Karma pulled his hand back in shock and surprise.
Gregory made a run for it. The bit of thread he used as security to the table was still intact. He used it to lower himself as quickly as possible. The quickest route would be going through the entrance in the wall of this office. Unfortunately for him, Manfred von Karma needed to take only one step to catch up with Gregory.
He grabbed him by his collar.
He took the signing page of the autopsy report back from Gregory, who was frantically kicking around in a futile attempt to get free.
"Now, what to do with you...vermin." he snapped to the borrower as he made way to the kitchen.
Desparation took hold of Gregory. "W-what are you planning to do with me now?" he managed to utter through his fear. "You got your piece of paper back. So you c-can let go of me..!"
Von Karma ignored him. He grabbed a long glass and dropped Gregory in it, who was just a little too short to reach the edges.
"Why are you doing this?"
Von Karma waited a few seconds to respond and then turned to Gregory. "Are there more of you?" he asked with a harsh tone, ignoring Gregory's question completely. Gregory immediately thought of Miles, and what could happen to him if this Bean were to find him.
"No."
"So you alone are responsible for disrupting this household by stealing my belongings, and then have the audacity to sabotage my perfect case?"
This made Gregory comtemplate for a second before regaining his thoughts.
"You won't get away with this, Bean!"
"I already have."
As he said that he turned his back and started searching the kitchen.
"Someone will find out! You cannot hide the truth forever Von Karma."
Von Karma walked up to Gregory, who pushed himself back against the glass in fear.
"Oh but I think I can" he answered with a menacing grin. In his hand he held plastic wrapping used for food preservation. "I don't think you understand the situation you...creature...landed yourself in."
Gregory swallowed. 'What's that in y-your hand?" he asked.
"Oh this? You will see."
Von Karma covered the opening of the glass with plastic wrapping and secured it with a rubber band.
"Even small...'people'... need air too, I bet"
Realisation kicked in. Gregory started pushing the glass as hard as he could. Von Karma, however, is cunning and thorough. He placed a book on the glass to keep it in place.
"Now if you don't mind, I have work to attend to."
Gregory watched Von Karma leave.
No way. There was no way anyone could be this cruel.
He tried pushing the glass a few more times, but to no avail. The air inside his personal jail was getting thicker and thicker. As time went on, Gregory Edgeworth's vision got blurrier and his conciousness was slipping. Before he passed out he thought of Miles. A pang of guilt went through his body.
And then everything went black.
--
Manfred von Karma was more taken aback by the strange enounter than he wanted to admit. So much so that he did not notice the small ink-stain in the shape of a tiny hand on the autopsy report.
