Ace Attorney (feels weird saying that as the title): Fic Recs
Instead of my usual (if it can be called that) copy-paste thing, I'll have to just leave it with my own descriptions, as some of the summaries themselves are spoilers for various games. I still say it's worth losing sleep over. Oh, and I /finally/ finished off the fifth game.
This should be obvious, but just in case: if I'm mentioning a certain game in the summary, it's got major spoilers for it.
Piano Man
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4297116/1/Piano_Man
Follows a storyline that practically fills in the time gap in the fourth game. Almost entirely in Phoenix's point of view, but somewhat in Edgeworth's. Yaoi. Goes into greater detail of what went on to the legal system to make it the way it is... and what it was becoming.
Turnabout Lockdown
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5135354/1/Turnabout_Lockdown
A trial that takes place after the fourth game, for the murder of Diego Armando. Apollo is still pissed off at what Phoenix ropes him into doing, such as taking this case. A very different and very interesting different outlook as to what might really have been. No pairings thus far.
Of Fake Fairytales and Faux Amour
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3823270/1/Of_Fake_Fairytales_and_Faux_Amour
"Miles desperately needs a way of removing an unwanted admirer, and what better way is there than to pretend to date his very male, straight best friend and rival? Sigh, it sounded so foolproof in his head at least..."
This type of story is unusual for me, in that I usually cannot take this level of 'oh my god bury me in the ground right now' sort of situations. I have personal reasons for throwing this one up here, though.
Yes sir
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4891802/1/Yes_sir
Takes place on Apollo's side, before the fourth game. A very interesting piece. Written in both Kristoph's and Apollo's point of view. Apollo had always been a genius, but only in the strangest way possible.
Well Frogs
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3826224/1/Well_Frogs
Another post-fourth crime story. Japanese names. The tension between Naruhodou Ryuuichi and Garyuu Kyouya climb while Houzuki Akane and Odoroki Housuke just try to do their job... and maybe run interference. The crime? The Kitaki family is once again in trouble... Pairings, the main one being Kyouya/Akane (strangely enough, not usually my cup of tea).
Chasing Demons
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4855000/1/Chasing_Demons
A really... really freaky story. Everything is connected... and the truth in this story is darker than fiction. Did they have a heart, or did having it make all that possible? Spoilers for first, second, and third. Absolutely do not read this if you cannot keep AU separated from the game's storyline. Supposition: Franziska has a deeper connection to the Fey family than even she knew...
And That Would Be The Truth
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5291916/1/And_That_Would_Be_the_Truth
Another story by the same author. Post-fourth, reflection to death. I would say I'm scared, but at the same time, I feel like I understand. I don't know what that makes me.
The Wright Family
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4099882/10/The_Wright_Family
Various stories surrounding Phoenix's family. Spoilers for everything, just about, at one point or another.
Turnabout Savior
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5190690/5/Turnabout_Savior
A story that weaves like the third, but takes place after the fourth. What's wrong with trying to find missing people? And how much has everyone really changed?
Trucy's Daddy
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5104141/1/Trucys_Daddy
"Having his career ruined wasn't so bad, because Phoenix found something even more meaningful to do with his life. But when that's taken away from him as well, what's left...? AU spun off case case 4-4, character death."
Slow Dance
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4966474/1/Slow_Dance
By the same person as previous. Post-fourth, as Vera tries to learn how to live a life. Her life.
For semi-obvious reasons, I'm particularly sympathetic to her.
Turnabout Coming Out
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4016507/1/Turnabout_Coming_Out
Finally, something lighthearted. First through third.
Life Doesn't Work That Way
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4154821/1/Life_Doesnt_Work_That_Way
The aftermath of the last case in the first game, up until the start of the second. All while their relationship is becoming something to focus on... Phoenix & Edgeworth. One of the few completed ones on this list. Romance, drama, angst, etc. I /really/ like this one.
[Edit: October 23, Friday]
Holy Space
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3944607/1/Holy_Space
Detailing Edgeworth's struggles in the aftermath. Spoilers for the first, second, and third games. I particularly like how... mixed it is. How both good and bad, selfish and principled Von Karma was.
[Edit: October 29, Thursday, 11pm]
[I've given up giving descriptions on the actual categories, such as slash, incest, or whatever. Hell, I barely did that with the above list.]
Struggling Against Gravity
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3664472/1/Struggling_Against_Gravity
If I recall correctly, this one is more on the romance and relationships section. Also if I recall correctly (it's hard getting my facts straight -- read too much in a short timespan), I particularly liked this one for the internal dialogue. Very reminiscent of the game. Slight AU.
Turnabout Twelve
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4010078/1/Turnabout_Twelve
This one is a full AU, although mirrors the regular storyline in many ways. Antics, vignettes, etc.
Behind Red Locks
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4231246/1/Behind_Red_Locks
A possible outlook on the relationship between Iris and Dahlia.
Follow The Fool
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3370564/1/Follow_the_Fool
It didn't occur to me to put this on the list, actually. It's just that since I'm making this list, I'll throw in the one that Raven recc'd to me. I have yet to find one that gives quite the same impact, but I've been finding a lot of good stuff. Follows Franziska and Adrian in Germany.
Turnabout Scandal
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3476414/1/Turnabout_Scandal
This is... fairly interesting. Phoenix and Edgeworth are on the same case, opposite sides, but for a strange reason -- a set of pictures showing their relationship! The drama level for this court case is even higher than it normally is... for obvious reasons.
This should be obvious, but just in case: if I'm mentioning a certain game in the summary, it's got major spoilers for it.
