16''[[https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfSqCjfa1CNinEVlDK8m4Cx7Qw0Tk_sxj Ace Attorney 4 Phoenix Route]]'' by Pineapple Pen
17 * Recommanded by Yagami1211
18 * ''Synopsis'': Takes place during the Flashback case in Apollo Justice. Phoenix Wright has presented the fake evidence in court and he's about to lose the trial and his attorney badge. But he doesn't give up and asks Drew Misham to testify about the fake evidence and who ordered it. Phoenix is quickly able to prove himself innocent as the witness testifies that the fake was ordered 5 days while Phoenix received the case files from Zak Gramarye's previous lawyer last night. But who ordered the fake and who tried to frame Phoenix?.
19* ''Comment'': Excellent fanfic, but it's in Japanese.

21''Fanfic/PhoenixsSSBBCaseFiles'' by [=ShadowKnux372=] (some AU, crossover)
22 * Recommended by DaPatman
23 * ''Synopsis'': What if the ''Ace Attorney'' series was set in a world containing various locations from different Nintendo series, where Phoenix has to defend characters who appear in the ''VideoGame/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 ''Ace Attorney'' 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 ''Ace Attorney'' side you would never expect to see as attorneys.
24 * ''Comments'': The only gripe I have with these cases is there aren't enough Psyche Locks in most of the cases with Phoenix. However, this is more than made up for by everything else. Apollo's "Perceive" ability in particular is as accurate as it's possible to be in pure text. As an added bonus, each of the cases debuts on the ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' board at Website/GameFAQs, where anyone lucky enough to be online at the time they're being posted can play the case, and gets rewarded with a mention in the credits of that case.
25 * My only problems are, first, that he can't present ''VideoGame/FireEmblem'' characters for beans, and that way too many of the cases seem to be results of accidents and carrying the IdiotBall. They're way too simple for a Phoenix Wright case.

35* ''Comments'': You'll find everything here. There's tooth rotting fluff fics, and there's intense dark fics. Almost every kink has been catered for throughout the meme, with all manner of pairings from the bog standard Phoenix/Edgeworth and Phoenix/Maya, to Gant/Gourdy and Franziska/Her whip. There's some hidden treasures between the crack!fills.
36** One other thing to note is that the Meme is no longer unalloyed sexual material. Granted, it's still a rather impressive proportion, but do not be surprised to find works that only slightly (if at all) deal with the carnal.

45* Recommended by [=ThatFanwiththeGlasses=]
46* ''Synopsis'': The characters of Ace Attorney read bad fanfiction based on their series (against their will) and comment (read: snark) on it.
47* ''Comments'': While the fanfics being sporked can't be spoken for, the sporkings themselves are quite entertaining to read. Each fic is given a rating [[AbstractScale from one to five Sahwits]] depending on how bad it is, or [[BrokeTheRatingScale Dahlia]] if it's too horrible to use that scale as well as a brief note giving the opinion of the author of the sporking. This is usually a good indicator of [[ThisIsGonnaSuck how badly the characters will react to the fic]]. Be warned that there is some [[PrecisionFStrike strong language]] througout the sporkings, ''usually'' from the fic being sporked.

62* ''Synopsis'': Following a particularly arduous trial, Phoenix Wright comes to terms with the fact that Dahlia Hawthorne may not have had his best interests at heart.
63* ''Comments'': Takes place post 3-1, and is one incredible fic. The story seems like it could be a piece right from the game. While Phoenix and Mia are the only characters to appear, they are both in character the whole time. Incredibly written, and deserves a read.

68* ''Synopsis'': This fanfic depicts a case that takes place between Apollo Justice and Dual Destinies. Ema's the defendant, the victim was murdered at the police station, and the prosecutor is a mysterious rookie who wears Godot's iconic mask.
69* ''Comments'': Apollo keeps his signature [[DeadpanSnarker snark]] from the games and the trial chapters really feel like they belong in the game. Overall the story is very well written and even though there's an OC as a main focus, they don't really take precedence over the trial. It definitely deserves a read.

72* Recommended by: BlaiddDunn
73* ''Status'': Both are Complete
74* ''Synopsis'': The fic is focused on a world where ForWantOfANail Edgeworth senior never gets into the elevator on Christmas during the DL6 case and so survives to raise his son. The story's actual plot mostly revolves around an OriginalFlavor take on Pheonix and his parents. The sequel picks up a few years from where the first left off, exploring how the investigation into Redd White plays out with the events of the first fanfic.
75* ''Comments'': Building off a number of odd canonical behaviors to create a fully fleshed-out background and characters for Pheonix, this fic does what few can: it makes Pheonix whump that is realistic, heartfelt, and (mostly)consistent with cannon. The fic has really strong characterization for all involved. There is Gregory Edgeworth/Tyrell Badd, and pre-Wrightworth, but it's background to the main plot of both fics. Really strong writing and plotting all around- definitely worth checking out if you've ever wondered why Pheonix never mentions his parents in the games, want to see how Gregory would raise his son or a well-executed ForWantOfANail fic.

80* ''Synopsis'': This fanfic centers around Kristoph Gavin, his journey through his career, and the origins behind his [[spoiler: black Psyche-Locks.]] The relationship between him and Klavier is also a key theme.
81* ''Comments'': This story might as well be canon. The twists and turns that the author provides are clever and fit perfectly, the OCs very much benefit the story, and the portrayal of Kristoph's relationship with Klavier and how it develops is just phenomenal. This fic gives so much depth to Kristoph as a character and solves much-debated mysteries, and it definitely needs more love.

89* ''Comments'': A pair of one-shots in a Role Swap AU where Kazuma survives the journey but Ryunosuke is killed and [[spoiler: becomes Baron Von Zeiks assistant and potential replacement assasin]]. The first follows Kazuma, and the second follows Ryunsuke. They're small but tantalising glimpases into a heartrending situation- Olly Olly is sweat and direct and engaging, but it's the writting of poem fragments in particular that's something special, just the right blend of dream like and direct to completely absorb you in the confusion and tradgedy that Ryunosuke struggles with. Brilliant and bitesized, just mind the spoilers.

94* ''Synopsis'': This is an OriginalFlavor fic that replays the events of the first game— with characters switched around and situations turned upside down. Phoenix Wright is partnered with April May! Lotta Hart is Phoenix's childhood friend. Yanni Yogi died at Gourd Lake. And the true killer in the DL-6 incident will come as quite a surprise.

This stories Kristoph is terrifying- sinister and creepy, with just enough charm to make you think you're imagining it. It's awful and scary and I love it.

109* ''Synopsis'': There are men who rise to glory and others who fall in disgrace. Quercus Alba - first a soldier, then a war hero, then a corrupted ambassador - was one of those who went through both.
110* ''Comments'': An incredibly well-written story about Quercus Alba and how he came to be the twisted ambassador he is. The author shows a clear knowledge of what they're writing about, leaves few if any plotholes from the main games, and keeps it interesting the whole way through without succumbing to listless detail or slogging. Centers totally on Alba, so as not to dilute the story with other characters' thoughts: it's Alba's story after all, and it's told entirely through him.

115* ''Synopsis'': [SPOILERS for the final case of AA: Dual Destinies] Certain to get the death sentence, the Phantom asks for one thing in exchange of all the information the police may want from him: his identity, and a name to call his own before he dies. And the Mood Matrix just may be the key to recover his lost memories.
116* ''Comments'': This is definitely on of the better [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative Phantom centred fanfics out there]]. Not only does it give the Phantom some very interesting, and at times surprising, character development, it keeps all of the other cast members (especially Blackquill) in character. This fic also examines the relationship that both Blackquill and ''Foolbright'' had after working together so closely for over a year. If you're worried that the Phantom is going to be [[DracoInLeatherPants leather pantsed]] don't worry; while this fic does an excellent job of making him sympathetic at times, it also establishes that none of the other characters have forgotten [[MoralEventHorizon any of the terrible things he's done]]. If you're looking for a very different type of fanfic, then this one is for you.
117** The sequel, [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10277643/1/Turnabout-Outbreak Turnabout Outbreak]] is highly recommended as well. (Shipping warning for the eventual [[spoiler: Simon/Phantom]], which is elaborated on in the third sequel [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/3197930/chapters/6953750 Turnabout Extras]].

122* Synopsis: More than two weeks after the game’s end, Simon Blackquill continues to investigate the Phantom and any destruction left in his wake. Many more mysteries are left unsolved and what DID happen to Bobby Fulbright?
123* Comments: Phantoms and Mirages is an epic 5-part series focusing on Simon's investigation of the events of Turnabout for Tomorrow, which quickly expands into a vast network of mysteries and intrigue to explore. The series blends original conflicts with various callbacks to elements of the Ace Attorney universe in the style and flavor of a well-written saga. The exciting twists and meticulous attention to character depth really drive the core engagement of the series to its fullest. (Shipping warning for the eventual [[spoiler: Simon/Bobby]]). The first story in the series is [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/3700771/chapters/8188561 Chasing Phantoms]]. Each OC is well-integrated into the universe, and this series takes care to delve into the moral greys of each character while ensuring they receive a fitting conclusion by the end.

130** Seconded. An incredible tying together of the events of Apollo Justice. Capcom themselves couldn't have written a better epilogue.

144* ''Comments'': A unique "Meanwhile, in the background" retelling of the first game whose chapters fit rather nicely into canon. But instead of Phoenix, it primarily features other canon characters such as the prosecutors he faces and Detective Gumshoe with a handful of well-written [=OCs=] thrown into the mix. Sadly, thus far it only goes up through most of Case 3 and hasn't been updated in almost two years.

156* ''Synopsis'': Waking up in an unfamiliar room one morning, Phoenix Wright suddenly finds a Prosecutor's Badge in his possession. With most of his allies suddenly acting hostile towards him, will he figure out what truly caused the world he knew to suddenly change?
157* ''Comments'': This story is cleverly written, and deals with a world where DL-6 never existed, and where the Phoenix from the games wakes up to find himself in the life of a Phoenix Wright who is not only a Prosecutor, but is such a Jerkass that almost everyone who was close friends with in his life now deeply hate him. Currently dealing with the first murder case, the victim and defendant being [[spoiler:Ema Skye and Lana Skye respectively]], with Edgeworth as the Attorney, and Phoenix as the Prosecutor. Also has a case in a similar vein to DL-6, and the incident with the Forged Evidence from Apollo Justice, this case not being known to the reader or to Phoenix at this point, but resulting in the imprisonment of [[spoiler:Mia and a non-psychopathic Dahlia]]. The Author also keeps a Court Record on her Profile page with sketched images for certain aspects. Contains an OC Attorney who isn't gifted at the trade, but instead is known as the 'Evidence Spammer' for presenting Evidence purely to buy time to come up with a theory, and hasn't got a perfect record either.
158** Motmot, seconding the recommendation: this is an excellent story with excellent characterization of the AA characters, and an interesting, well-thought-out premise to boot. The OriginalFlavor is strong and the character interactions are entertaining. It's flawed, particularly where grammar is involved, but seeing as English is the author's second language (her first is, conveniently, German) it only ups the awesome in a way. Not to mention, it's just so satisfying to encounter certain relationships between certain characters and realize, "Wow, that ''would'' be so different if not for DL-6..."

163* ''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.
164* ''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.
165** Seconded! This is seriously underrated. I feel like people don't read this because there isn't a pairing. Honestly, this deserves way more than 6 reviews. I've seen plenty of badly-written fics that have more reviews, and that just sucks. Just give it a shot. You'll like it. -purplehandprint
166** There's a phrase to describe this story, and it's on the tip of my tongue. A diamond in the rough? Truly a rare find as far as fanfictions go. The author penned the kind of story that ought to go down in history and told again and again, like the Little Matchstick Girl. It's almost like a fairytale, but it has so much more to tell than the likes of Sleeping Beauty or Snow White.

171* ''Synopsis'': Phoenix Wright, defense attorney extraordinaire finds himself waking up in a universe where he is not a defense attorney, but a prosecutor! Meanwhile, the Phoenix who became a prosecutor now finds himself waking up in a universe where he's an attorney! Join these two Phoenix's on a quest to solve mysterious on different sides of the courtroom, and how will they return home!
172* ''Comments'': Despite the similar premise to A Complete Turnabout above, this fanfic is actually vastly different. Phoenix’s circumstances are extremely different waking up in this new universe where he is a prosecutor now. On top of that, the Prosecutor Phoenix of the alternate universe wakes up in the Canon Phoenix’s universe. Prosecutor Phoenix himself is an immensely hilarious character yet still tragic. There are so many different twists constantly happening in this story and it’s still relatively new. I highly recommend it. There is planned ship teasing between Apollo/Athena, and interestingly enough, Phoenix/Mia. Also, Larry Butz is dating Lotta Hart apparently. Romance is not at all a focus and usually just small ship teasing or mentioned in the background, but this fic certainly has a lot of unique pairings cropping up. For instance, in the alternate Prosecutor universe [[spoiler:DL-6 never happened, Misty Fey was never disgraced and Gregory Edgeworth ended up meeting her and they got married. Doug Swallow never dies and ended up dating Iris and they even got married and had a little daughter. And Maya Fey is dating Simon Blackquill!]] And that’s just the tip of the iceberg of all the changes in the alternate universe! Everything is so interesting and the characters are all very well written! I highly recommend this fic to any Ace Attorney fan! Also, it has a couple of minor character OCs in here that honestly feel like actual characters you’d meet in the game.

193* ''Synopsis'': Alternate timeline to 4-4, while Vera Misham survives her atroquinine poisoning, Trucy, who had borrowed her nail polish before, ends up biting her nails in the Defense's bench as well and dies. Phoenix is left behind as a broken man, while Apollo and his other friends do all in their power to help him recover. (Kink Meme Fanfic)
194* ''Comments'': Perfect characterization, heart-wrenching storyline and little to no appearance of the dreaded IdiotBall, [[spoiler: except for the possibility of channeling Trucy only coming up in the last 10 chapters of the story, maybe,]] make this Fic one of the true gems of the Kink Meme and definitely worth a read. While it features Phoenix and Edgeworth as a pairing, it is too downplayed to count as a Shipping Fic and can be ignored if you are not particularly averted to the pairing. The focus is clearly on Phoenix' relationship with his adoptive daughter. A Hurt-Comfort Fic with a lot of Drama but also Fluff.

199* ''Synopsis'': It starts with Edgeworth forgetting little things here and there, like misplacing his glasses and falling behind with his notes. He and Phoenix joke about getting older, until they realise that Edgeworth has Alzheimer's Disease.
200* ''Pairing(s)'': Some Edgeworth/Phoenix, but it's hardly the focus.
201* ''Comments'': Utterly heartbreaking. The author is not only a talented writer, but they have clearly done their research into Alzheimer's. [[TearJerker You will cry after reading this.]]
202** Tropers/{{Meikyu Butterfly}} seconding this recommendation, albeit with a '''huge warning''' as, unlike what the previous recommendator said, the pairing in this fanfic '''is''' very pronounced and '''will''' immensely minder your enjoyment of the Fanfic if your tolerance is not very, very high. To give an example, Phoenix and Edgeworth regularly kiss, starting with the very first scene of the fanfic and the overuse of the words "I love you" might be one of the weakest, most distracting points of the story. Nevertheless, it is still an amazingly well-written, heartbreakingly sad fanfic. If you are either a fan of the pairing or ready to ignore or tolerate it, read it.
203*** Tropers/{{NoPlaceLikeLondon64}} here thirds this fanfic - This troper doesn't cry at ''anything'' - and by the end of this she was sobbing uncontrollably. The Phoenix/Miles pairing and the suffering they and their family feels is written in a heart-wrenching manner that will have you crying right there with them. Phoenix/Miles is my absolute OTP of the series, but even if you aren't a fan of the pairing, I still recommend this to you.

226* ''Synopsis'': Serving a life sentence for murder, Diego thought he had nothing left to lose - until a stroke robbed him of the ability to speak and write. Now the prison whipping boy, he grows more isolated and alone...until the boy comes. Rated T for bad language, violence and explicit themes.
227* ''Comments'': A really great fic that has had me laughing, crying and wanting to punch several characters in the face, then cheering when someone finally does. It shows a great relationship develop between Diego and Machi and really immerses you in their prison life. It's very well written and, even after a break of months from reading, I was able to get straight back into it. There are hints of a pairing - if you really squint - but mostly it shows a really great friendship between the two main characters, as they deal with whatever hell a jail sentence can throw at them.

265* Recommended by hydrargyra
266* ''Status'': Dormant
267* ''Synopsis'': Vague spoilers for the first game. Manfred von Karma goes on many adventures. Also featured are his children, Franziska and Miles, his nemesis-turned-friendish person-turned-romantic partner Gregory Edgeworth, his evil boss Bansai Ichiyanagi, and at one point Klavier Gavin. Each adventure focuses on a topic, like romance, or birthdays, or the popular Food Network program 'Cupcake Wars'.
268* ''Comments'': This series evolved out of a short fic in which Manfred von Karma becomes educated about genders, and it sort of snowballs from there. It focuses mainly on the von Karma and Edgeworth families, with all parties involved being alive. The writing style is simplistic and slightly repetitive, though this is generally used to humorous effect and honestly adds a lot to the narrative. Special mention should go to Manfred von Karma's Amusement Park Adventure, which in addition to being a good read is also an accurate account of what it's like to be autistic and visit a high-stimulus location. Recurring themes include the relationship between Manfred von Karma and Gregory Edgeworth, domestic situations, and Manfred's career. (Contains Manfred/Gregory and Franziska/Maya, though these are skippable.)

279* ''Synopsis'': Gus M. Org, a corporate vice-president, has been poisoned. His secretary, Bertha B. Caroline, was arrested, and Apollo Justice was hired to defend her. However, there's a few snags in the case: the first is that the prosecutor for the case is a Mrs. Iris Wright, a higher court prosecutor. And the second is an eight-year-old case handled by a man named Godot.
280* ''Comments'': Yep, after some LevelGrinding [[TookALevelInBadass in Badass]] Iris became a prosecutor, plus Godot's back. Good thing is that author managed not to get overboard with Iris's character so while she's clearly tougher, OlderAndWiser than in canon she's still Iris (which is more than I can say about Phoenix in AJ). Another thing is that Author decided to go more in-depth about the after-effects of certain canon cases which games didn't really consider. The case itself is well done, starts simply and then SerialEscalation kicks in with quite a few good twists along the way. Not many bad things I can say, except maybe for ContinuityPorn that puts Bridge to Turnabout to shame, but it doesn't really get in the way. For shippers: Pairings involved are Phoenix/Iris and later [[spoiler: Apollo/Ema]] but both stay in the background and don't get in the way of a story.

286* ''Comments'': The synopsis might make it sound like a rather grim fic, and it does indeed show a side of Blackquill that the game only rarely exposes, but there's a reason it's also sorted under "humor"; once the fic switches perspective to Juniper, we become privy to her thoughts and see that even a docile and demure girl like herself can only be pushed around so much without [[FirstPersonSmartass becoming at least inwardly grouchy and hostile]]. An uncooperative animal, a death-threat-spewing prosecutor, and an incompetent detective are a definite ticket past that breaking point.

306 If it's a joke, it's a cruel one.
307* Comments: A darker retelling of Apollo Justice where the city of Los Angeles is just south of the Kurain Mountains, home of the [[FairFolk Winter Courte]]. This changes things...significantly. The broad shapes of the cases are left untouched however the tension is much much deeper when you know messing up could ebd with you having your soul stolen. The fey are a terrifying and ever-present force, creating endless justified paranoia. This story also delves more deeply into the character dynamics that the series glosses over - special mention to the way it builds up Apollo and Phoenixs difficult interactions. It even successfully works in Apollos many backstories into a cohesive whole. It, and its sequel, are utterly fantastic. You are cheating yourself if you skip over it.

For a story with explicit elements, it is more than just that, and it has a solid case underlying that is the main draw of it. Even if you're not a fan of the pairing at all, one can very easily skip the explicit parts and still have a very enjoyable time. Note that the story does contain original characters, but they fit in very easily within the universe and play a side role at best. For me, the cherry on top is that it also features one of my favorite headcanons - [[spoiler: that Maya, Mia and Miles are full siblings]]. Also has a sequel.

But Ryuu discovers that Holmes is mourning his own loss and harboring a secret similar to his own. As Ryuu learns to navigate London being different in more ways than one, the two soon become entangled in a love affair and a series of murders that seem to be trying to expose them both.
387* ''Comments'': Sweet, tragic, and sexy with a tense and fascinating murder plot holding it together. The historical setting feels real and layered and wonderfully in character, binged it untill two in the morning the first time I read it. Even if you don't like the pairing I'd give it a go for the mystery alone.

393* ''Synopsis'': Miles Edgeworth isn't totally sure how he ended up in this bet to demonstrate the strength of his and Phoenix Wright's (entirely professional and platonic! really!) relationship, but he knows it's Klavier's fault.
394* ''Comments'' This story is fantastic. It really captures Phoenix and Miles' relationship post-DD and how they understand each other, while also being a fun story about Miles showing Phoenix how much he means to him. Klavier is also trying to do the same for Apollo, who is trying to work on a case. Overall, this is a fun story that is in character and builds up Phoenix and Miles' relationship, while emphasizing their past together.

399* ''Pairings'': Slow burn Wrightworth, quick burn Klavier/Apollo, past Kristoph/Phoenix, and Franziska/Maya
400* ''Synopsis'': Phoenix Wright is back in full swing and ready to take on the legal world once more. He has a family, as unconventional it might be, and his career is as stable as it is ever going to get. With the end of the Dark Age of the Law, maybe he'll get to have his much wanted normal life he'd been denied for so long. Of course, fate has other plans for the freshly reinstated attorney
401* ''Comments'': It feels odd to say that this is a shipping fic for those who don't like shipping fics, but whilst this is a beautiful rendition of romantic Wrightworth it's an equally successful plot-driven character drama dealing with the fall out of Appolo Justice 1. In fact, it's so good that it works as a perfectly believable sequal to that game. If you wanted to know more about Kristoph Gavin, his relationship to his brother and Phoenix, Edgeworth's return to the states, or the Lamoir plot be resolved then this is the story for you.

406* ''Pairings'': Edgeworth/Phoenix
407* ''Synopsis'': Whilst spending a holiday in Germany, Pheonix meets a young girl called Athena, who helps him out with some hidden feelings.
408* ''Comments'': Despite being a shipping fic, the vast majority of it is a character study in disbarred! Phoenix and how his situation affects him and the people around him, including Athena. The relationship between Athena and Phoenix is really well developed, and there are a couple of nice touches which really strengthen Athena's characterization in the games. Also, the reason for Edgeworth and Phoenix not being honest with their feelings touches on some really genuine difficulties that can arise in these situations. It does use second-person perspective to a *meh effect, but if you like your angst with a whole heaping of fluff, this is for you.

413* ''Pairings'': Edgeworth/Kay with background Phoenix/Maya and Franziska/Lang
414* ''Synopsis'': Chief Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth finally found the right woman to fill the void in his heart. But, a bitter event now must leave him with hard choices: to maintain his relationship or stop his relationship for good. Life was cruel, so does love.
415* ''Comments'': The main plot of the fic actually was very simple: Edgeworth suffers cardiac disorder (arrhythmia) when he begin dating with Kay. This was when the conflict started: His disease recurred everyday, make him gives so much anxiety to Kay, make him think he's too weak for Kay, he think he make Kay more like his nurse and babysitter than his girlfriend. But the author executed a very simple plot to a very well story. The chemistry between Kay and Edgeworth really great, my favorite part was when Edgeworth fall into a coma after he try to save Kay from a burning building, and Kay still wait for him to wake up although everyone said she must move on. The author also did a good job with portraying emotional Edgeworth and his depression due to his disease on the fic.

420* ''Pairing'': Edgeworth/Kay. Gumshoe/Maggey later on.
421* ''Synopsis'': Everyone has a life. Everyone has things to do or people to see, socially and professionally. Miles Edgeworth has a courtroom, with truths to find and verdicts to declare. It's all he knows. But people want to take that away from him.
422* ''Comments'': Yo, if the second Miles Edgeworth game came to the States more people would ship Miles and Kay, but since we are not that lucky this fanfic proves to a great intro as to how their relationship can work. The characters are flawlessly in character, the romance is in no way cheesy, the way an older and more mature Kay interacts with Edgeworth is fantastic, and the twists and turns keep ya trying to guess what happens next. The only flaw I can say about this fic is that there is something gets set up early on, but never gets a proper conclusion and the swearing some of the characters do has pulled me from the experience a bit (but thats only me)- thats hardly a fault when you got some of the best chemistry I've read in an Edgeworth fanfic. Especially when [[spoiler: Edgeworth takes some cases in New York after he learns Kay has been seriously injured. He doesn't really know how to handle the stress of knowing she's in a coma and leaves to avoid the whole situation. Much to his dismay, it doesn't work.]]

427* ''Pairing'': Phoenix/Edgeworth, Apollo/Klavier later on, slight Franziska/Adrian
428* ''Synopsis'': Phoenix and Edgeworth, awkwardly and with a lot of help, realize that missed opportunities don't have to stay that way. Post GS4, with spoilers.
429* ''Comments'': This is one of the best AA fanfictions I have ever read. The characterization is spot on, the relationships move at a believable pace, and the story can flip-flop from hilarious to heartwarming to dead serious with ease. As mentioned, this fic is post GS4, though some does take place in flashback, mostly showing what the heck Edgeworth was up to during that 7-year time skip. There are some OCs, but they are all fun to read and have smaller roles anyway. Best of all, it's complete! Seriously, go read it. Now.
430** Seconded. The emotional power of this fic is amazing. It explores how Phoenix feels about Miles leaving all the time, gives closure to fans of Vera, and even pulls off a major moment of awesome for [[spoiler: Gumshoe, Franziska, and Kay Faraday]] in how they [[spoiler: handle something they know is a major possible problem without Edgeworth even knowing it's being taken care of]].

436* ''Synopsis'': Everyone has ghosts from their pasts. The hardest part is facing them... Set nine months after T&T, spoilers for PW1-3 and AJ1.
437* ''Comments'': DON'T LET THE PAIRING TURN YOU OFF. This story is truly amazing. The author somehow made the unusual pairing work. This is honestly one of the best fanfics I've ever read. The pacing of the romance is realistic, and the plot will keep you on the edge of your seat. It really sucks that it didn't get many reviews because had this pairing been more popular, this would've been one of the highest-reviewed fics. I don't even like the pairing, and I still think it is one of the best fanfics in Ace Attorney. As I said, they just made it work. Sadly, the story has been abandoned, but it's a great fic, nonetheless. You should definitely give it a chance, even if you don't care for the pairing. Also, consider PM-ing the author to continue. It's unlikely, but she might decide to continue the story if she gets enough e-mails asking her to continue (assuming she still uses the same e-mail). EDIT: She's updated it!!! READ THE STORY. It is friggin' amazing. Words cannot describe its awesomeness.

451* ''Comments'': A lovely fic that manages to keep both leads in character while also fleshing them out and providing an interesting reason for Ema's dislike of Klavier. The relationship of the pair also develops from dislike/indifference to friendship to romance rather than starting out with Ema harboring a secret crush for Klavier(as many fics of this couple do). Furthermore, the fic is also intertwined brilliantly with both the timeline and plot of the Apollo Justice game, so much so that any fan will be able to appreciate the thought, creativity and writing skills of the author. A definite recommendation for any fan of this pairing.

457* ''Synopsis'': How do you love everything about someone yet hate them at the exact same time? That was one question Ema could never answer.
458* ''Comments'': While most fics that attempt to pair these two tend to throw at least one of these people out of character, this fic, in particular, is very well done. Every character featured here remains wonderfully in character, so much so that everything here could be lifted out of the game itself. Also, for fans of the series in general, practically every important makes an appearance, and there are more continuity nods than you can shake a stick at, such as the remains of Ema's schoolgirl crush of Edgeworth, Kurain village, and so much more. Definitely a good read.
459** Unfortunately a dead fic, since the author has officially declared that they will no longer write fics. However, where the fic ends can still suffice as a reasonable ending, even if it still leaves a bit to be desired.

463* ''Status'': Dead
464* ''Pairing'': Phoenix/Edgeworth-centric, though it deals with many other pairings as well (most notably Maggey/Gumshoe).
465* ''Synopsis'': Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth have finally been able to settle down together. Phoenix's musical sense never left, even after re-gaining his bar: he still associates songs with memories, good and bad, hilarious and heartbreaking.
466* ''Comments'': An extraordinarily excellent, complex, and for some reason much overlooked fanfiction, using usually looked-down-upon concepts like songfic and original characters and making them ''work.'' Chapters are in AnachronicOrder since they are "memories", each one titled with a song to go along with it and lyrics inserted in the text-only where they are appropriate. Places the Ace Attorney world in a very real-world perspective and talks about things like the unfair court system and hangings for execution in detail. But besides the considerable work and research that went into it, this fanfic is deeply emotional and [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments laugh-out-loud hilarious]] moments are just as numerous as the [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments adorably heartwarming]] and the [[TearJerker unbearably tragic]]. Although the chapters are quite lengthy, the writing is intriguing enough that it's never a problem. This story follows the Ace Attorney storyline up until the end of ''Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney'' and mostly delves into the private lives of the characters and events behind closed doors in the storyline. Though it is quite long, ''Piano Man'' is an excellent investment even for those who usually would not read fanfiction and must be experienced to fully grasp. May or may not be complete. Also has some fun {{Shout Out}}s.
467** Seconded. This story is absolutely sublime - going from a unique and interesting future!fic, to believably filling in what happened with the all characters missing from ''Apollo Justice''. The pairings are all written wonderfully, and it's all highly believable. This troper laughed, cried, and cheered through the whole thing and would definitely read it over and over again.

The OC, Kath Everett, is written so well, and Edgeworth and Phoenix seem so in character!

499* ''Synopsis'': When Daryan and Kristoph breaks out of prison, Klavier is desperate to hunt them down. Then Kristoph disappears, and Apollo is suspected to be the reason. But when Klavier confronts his Herr Forehead, Apollo simply refuses to cooperate...
500* ''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 into 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]]. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments You'll laugh]], [[{{Tearjerker}} you'll cry]], you'll want to bang your head against the wall for the characters' [[TooDumbtoLive stupid]] [[DistressBall decisions]], and you'll be cheering for [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome 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.

513* ''Synopsis'': Detective Badd would have preferred to keep his relationship with Prosecutor Faraday out of the public eye, but with his partner in the morgue he has far more important priorities.

The first fic in the series, [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/465119 The Back-up Plan]], focuses well on the hardships of Byrne and Badd dealing with their closeted relationship in the workplace. Badd's utter devotion to Kay is paramount and ties the whole series together into a heartfelt collection to enjoy.
515** The third fic in the series, [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/465257/chapters/803325 The Book of Crows]], also features a surprise crossover cameo with certain characters from ''VideoGame/GhostTrick''. The crossover works well, as the author manages to connect the ties between the two video games into a very organic story.

The romance is really sweet and contains lots of fluff, and the suspense and mystery tie in with it together perfectly.

585* "Pairing": Apollo/Juniper
586* "Synopsis": Trucy has a list of New Year's Resolutions to finish off before the year is through, and the last item on her list ("Get Polly a girlfriend") remains unchecked. When Athena tells her about a friend of hers who thinks Apollo's a great guy but is too shy to say anything, Trucy figures the key to getting stuffy old Polly on a date may lie in the decorations for the first annual Wright Anything Agency Christmas Party.
587* "Comments": Apollo/Juniper is an underrated pairing, it needs more love. Luckily we have this fic to read. It's cute, well-written, and the moments between Apollo and Juniper, as seen through Trucy's POV, are very fluffy.

599* Pairing: Maya Fey/Simon Blackquill
600* Synopsis: "There was nothing wrong with being a fan of the Steel Samurai, but as a grown man, an ex-convict, and a prosecutor with a knack for being the scariest guy in the room in any given situation, Simon Blackquill had no plans to admit his love of the show to anyone... until a certain spirit medium entered his life. As for Maya Fey, what were the chances she'd meet a REAL samurai, and one willing to watch the Steel Samurai with her, at that? Talk about a reason to celebrate--burgers, anyone?" (Post-Dual Destinies, so there may be mild spoilers.)
601* Comments: A sweet and silly story that takes a pairing I had never even considered and makes it truly work. Maya and Simon are both perfectly in character - Maya is as cheerfully absurd as ever and Simon's black humor is put to good use. (As is Pearl and her determination to stalk any and all candidates for Maya's "special someone." Even if the candidate is a scary samurai prosecutor...)
602** Seconded. This fanfic is extremely in character and well done. I was a bit skeptical due to the crack pairing nature and came out pleasantly surprised. I now ship this crack ship thanks to this story! I definitely recommend it!

630* Pairing: Juan Corrida/Matt Engarde, Juan Corrida/Celeste Inpax, Celeste Inpax/Adrian Andrews(one-sided)
631* Synopsis: There were a lot of things that Juan Corrida hated about Matt Engarde. In fact, if you told him to make a list of them all, he'd probably never stop. The number one thing though was that Matt wasn't always like this.
632* Comments: What was supposed to be a kink request for Matt and Juan turned into an extraordinarily, well-written fic that turns everything you know about 2-4 upside down. We are taken through the remaining years of Juan Corrida as we follow him through his career, his short-lived romance with Celeste Inpax, and the strange and twisted relationship he has with his rival, Matt Engarde. All before he meets his tragic end at the beginning of Justice for All's final case. Certain twists in the story mean you may not look at that case the same again. Among them the unspoken reasoning for Engarde's sociopathy, a possible new twist in Celeste's death. And most of all it takes 2-4's victim, an implied jerkass not much better than the actual villain, and turns him into one of the biggest tragic heroes this side of Godot. This is his story, and by God will it leave you begging for an alternate outcome.

This is the story of those cons and the influence they had on Simon during his transformation into the Twisted Samurai. Along the way, Simon will pick up friends and enemies and a bad decision lover, get caught up in a gang war, pursue the phantom, and bond with his fine-feathered friend.
639* ''Comments'': Ever wonder where Blackquill learns all his weird prison-related stories? This fic details his strange period of adjusting to prison life, and the influence of a convict sharing more than his name but distinctly opposite in many ways. Framed as a series of anecdotes Simon tells Athena about his time in jail, this fic explores the odd dynamics of an unlikely duo and connects it seamlessly to the overarching plot of Simon's 7-year sentence.

659* ''Synopsis'': Something was wrong with Trucy, of that Apollo was certain, and given her upcoming show he knew it couldn't be anything good. Determined to help, Apollo confronts her, only to find that it's worse than he thought. With Trucy unable to perform, the two of them hatch a daring plan to save her show: Apollo would perform in her stead.
660* ''Comments'': This is primarily a sibling-bonding fic as Trucy helps Apollo cram a lifetime of magic into a week of practice, but it also has a prominent through-line revolving around Apollo's crush on a certain guitarist prosecutor, so I'm putting it in the Shipping section. This fic feels very much in line with the style of the ''Ace Attorney'' universe, where the characters are pulling off over the top ridiculousness in an unrealistically short time frame and it just makes you grin like an idiot and fall in love with these characters all over again. ''Everyone'' gets their chance to shine here, but Apollo stands out for his commitment to doing everything he can to help his (unbeknownst to him) little sister. Hilarious and heartfelt, this fic was an absolute delight, and this troper plans on rereading it a lot in the future.

702* ''Synopsis'': The story goes that Rainbow Dash, the best flier in Equestra, was accused of murdering one of her competition in an upcoming race called the Equestria 500 (with the punishment being that she's banished to either the moon or the sun if found guilty). Her friend (and protagonist of [=FiM=]) Twilight Sparkle summons the best defense attorney in the universe (accidentally, initially wanting to summon the best in Equestria), said attorney happens to be Phoenix Wright. All that said, Nick attempts to adjust to temporarily living in Equestria while searching for the truth behind that murder (with Twilight as his resident Maya stand-in).
703* ''Comments'':
704** Judging from the first of the four ([[TrilogyCreep now 6]]) episodes, it looks to be shaping up to be a pretty good crossover. From first impressions, I highly recommend it to ''Ace Attorney'' fans, bronies/pegasisters, and everyone in between.
705** Tropers/{{Sus}} concurs. Despite not being all that familiar with the ''Ace Attorney'' series myself, the mix of murder mystery, well-written characters, and deadpan snarkery / shout out humor is really entertaining. Plus the ''Ace Attorney'' style animation is top-notch for a fan work.
706** Tropers/{{El bruno}} agrees. This fan work gets points for managing to merge both of those different universes without sacrificing their basic integrity, doing its best to stick to the original tone of both series. Plus, previous knowledge of both series is almost unnecessary to understand the story.

712* ''Synopsis'': A crossover between ''Ace Attorney'' and ''VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness'', the story starts with [[TheLancer Etna]] kidnapping Wright and dragging him to the Netherworld. Basically, [[FluffyCloudHeaven Celestia]] has sent an ambassador to strike up peaceful negotiation with [[EvilOverlord Overlord]] [[NobleDemon Laharl]], but was (of course) murdered before the deed could be done. Laharl, having found the body, is accused of the murder, and, with the fate of both worlds riding on his shoulders, Nick has to prove Laharl innocent and disclose the identity of the true BigBad of the story (which happens to be [[spoiler: Vulcanus, the Big Bad of the first Disgaea game]]).
713* ''Comments'': It's, overall, a pretty good crossover between the two franchises. All the characters from each are relatively faithful to their canon portrayals (though Laharl's portrayal seems to verge slightly more towards post character development in the game than post {{Flanderization}} after it), and the twists are pretty good. Overall, i would definitely recommend it (though the fifth and final part is about an hour-long, just something to consider when planning to watch it).

However, he soon gets involved in a string of mysteries that lead to him reviving a great ace attorney who disappeared a hundred years ago. Follow defence attorneys Phoenix Wright and Ryunosuke Naruhodo as they fight for their clients' lives in the Crown Court of London while seeking the truth behind the rampage of the Doctor from a hundred year's past!
786* ''Comments'': Only two cases out of eight are fully playable at the moment. The released cases feature trials in London run by both Phoenix and Ryunosuke in their respective eras. Case 3 ends at the end of its first trial.
787** Set after Professor Layton VS Phoenix Wright, but is so far mostly unrelated to the game.

792* ''Synopsis'': For nearly a month after the events of Trials and Tribulations, Phoenix Wright hasn't had a single case. Suddenly he is thrust into a string of them, starting with the murder of Marvin Grossberg. Over time Phoenix discovers something more secretive and sinister underlying this string of seemingly random murders. With the addition of an intimidating new prosecutor and a sarcastic slacker of a detective, Phoenix unwittingly stumbles upon a series of killings that somebody doesn't want solved, secrets that somebody doesn't want uncovered, people that somebody doesn't want to talk -- somebody who is pulling all the strings of an elaborate behind-the-scenes conspiracy for vengeance, power and control...
793* ''Comments'': Structured like the official games, except for the lack of a tutorial case. The story is spread across four episodes that each play a part in an overarching plot centered around an original cast of characters.

797* ''Status'': Complete
798* ''Synopsis'': This game takes place a year and a half after the events of Apollo Justice (consider it an alternate universe from AA:DD). Phoenix has retaken the bar exam and gotten his attorney's badge back. He finds himself involved with a series of cases, all apparently connected to each other and all somehow tying back to his new prosecutor rival, Obadiah Williamson. Can Nick unmask this conspiracy of lies, forgery, and betrayal? Or will he too become corrupted by it?
799* ''Comments'': Similarly to Contempt of Court, follows the five-case structure of the official games and focuses on an original cast, while also giving some development to canon characters, like Phoenix himself.

805* ''Comments'': One of the first playable cases made by the fandom. A standalone episode set after the final case of Apollo Justice.
806** Ignore the big text saying "Download the full game" and instead download from the link on the line right below it to avoid running into an unavoidable, game-breaking bug late into the case.

819* ''Recomended by'': Blaidd Dunn, Catamaran
820* ''Status'': Ongoing (?) (see description)
821* ''Pairing'': Phoenix Wright/Miles Edgeworth
822* ''Synopsis'': A series of beautiful introspective one-shot comics about conversations occuring just off-screen in the original games. Coverng the relationships between Miles and Fransiska, Miles and Phoenix and Trucy and Phoenix, each is short (maxing around 8 pages) and the artist creates comics for a range of fandoms at this current time.
823* ''Comments'': These are stunning, full stop. As one of the rare fanworks that communicates its message through symbolism, it never talks down to you. Instead each story takes you on a short but wild emotional ride in its neon saturated pages. Really give these a look, they're so worth it.

828* ''Synopsis'': ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, a variation of the final case where the Phantom is interrupted before he can unmask, leading to a new series of revelations and an emotional confrontation.
829* ''Comments'': For those of us who were unsatisfied by the threads never resolved in the game ending, this provides some ''delicious'' closure, with all of the laid out evidence fitting into the setting extremely well and all of the characters' deductions and personalities being spot on. On top of that, the art is fantastic.
