P

* "Comments": This is the aftermath of AJ case 4. It's very detailed in the lives of the characters after Kristoph's second conviction. This story goes in the mind of the two criminals that have been accused of murder in cases 3 and 4 and what their motive is for getting out. The story mainly focuses on Klavier and slowly starts focusing on Apollo once he gets closer to opening the other's heart (who closed it off after Kristoph's trial.) The story will shift to Phoenix every now and then and his life after he regains his attorney badge and his relationship with Trucy. The OC characters are very realistic, fitting to the point where they can survive in the Ace Attorney world where they won't be accused of being a Gary sue. Also, I like how the character development is flushed out and how those close to Kristoph are deeply affected particularly Apollo who is a [[CharacterizationMarchesOn completely]] [[{{Tsundere}} different]] [[{{Wangst}} person]] for [[ItsNotYouItsMe justified reasons]]. [[CrowningMomentofFunny You'll laugh]], [[{{Tearjerker}} you'll cry]], you'll want to [[WallBanger bang your head against the wall]] for the [[WhatanIdiot characters]] [[TooDumbtoLive stupid]] [[DistressBall decisions]], and you'll be cheering for [[CrowningMomentofAwesome your favorite characters]] doing the unthinkable...[[KillitWithFire especially Apollo.]] This tale is about love and betrayal and what lengths you'll go to save the person you love...as well as the external lengths one would go to keep the thing they love the most whether it's family, fame or fortune. It starts out slow, but picks up very fast. You'll be surprised at the ending.

** RosesSpindle: The original characters in this fic are just fantastic. They're all quirky enough to fit right into the Ace Attorney universe, and I can easily imagine their little tics and habits as if I were cross-examining them on my DS.
** ThatOtherYou: And for the icing on the cake, it was also the inspiration for [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0LgBUMlvwk this]] Osu! level. The fact that people cared enough about this fic to create such an amazing level based off of it should speak volumes about its own quality.

* Synopsis: What if the AceAttorney series was set in a world containing various locations from different Nintendo series, where Phoenix has to defend characters who appear in the SuperSmashBros series? The answer is simple. You get different people being murdered, and the pop culture references are all related to the series the characters come from, but apart from that, there's no difference. The cases are written as if [=ShadowKnux372=] is copying the text down while playing the cases, and most of them are set in different continuities from each other and the actual AceAttorney games. It's not just Phoenix who does the defending, either. Apollo and Mia both get a chance to defend, as do two characters from the AceAttorney side you would never expect to see as attorneys.

* "Pairing": Edgeworth X Phoenix
* "Synopsis": Phoenix and Edgeworth deal with the repercussions of Lana Skye's trial while trying to trying to figure out what they really mean to each other. Set between 1-5 and JFA, spoilers for both
* "Comments": I genuinely can't praise this fic enough. Everyone is brilliantly in character, and the portrayal of Edgeworth's gradual breakdown is simply brilliant. It fits almost perfectly in the canon, and the writing itself is top-knotch. Really delves into the bizarre friendship between Nick and edgey, and builds up the tension nicely. The kind of story you have to devour, it's so good.

* Recommended by Katzenstreu
* "Synopsis": This is the life story of a certain kitten by the name of Shoe, told partly from its perspective, during and after the events of JFA. Comedic/dramatic fluff, and a dash of some dark humor.
* "Comments": A unfortunately underrated fanfic taking place, as previously mentioned, during the events of 2-4 and a bit after. Bordering on the most adorable thing you've ever read when told from Shoe's point of view, to very dark in later chapters, but still ending on a... well, you'll have to read for yourself. It also provides an interesting view into de Killer's world and that of assassins. Not to mention what Adrian went through, too.

** YMMV. I found the WallBangers far too frustrating to enjoy the story, as they made Apollo an extraordinarily unlikable character, made the story be driven by an IdiotPlot, and painted fucking [[spoiler: KRISTOPH]] of all people as a VICTIM. People were getting along with this man and he was being treated as a VICTIM. I wanted to like this story, I did. But all the ridiculous decisions made by EVERY character and the unbelievability of the plot itself was just ridiculous.
