10	!!This ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' FanFic provides examples of the following tropes:
11	* AffectionateNickname: It's pretty cute how little Diego called [[spoiler: Bikini]] "Angel" after [[spoiler: she saved him and his mother from freezing to death and gave them a home to live in.]]
12	-->'''Young Diego Armando''': Thanks, Miss Angel!
13	** Heck, he's even pulling this off twenty five years later.
14	-->'''Diego Armando''': Angel always believed I was destined to be this great man who would change the world, but I failed her.
15	* AllJustADream: Maya pulls this off a couple of times, once when she dreamed of Phoenix waking her up lovingly after he invited her to share a bed, [[NotWhatItLooksLike no, not like ''that'']], only to wake up in disappointment to see that he's already gone. The other being a nightmare when she dreams Phoenix being killed by Andre.
16	* TheAtoner: Iris. See IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy below.
17	* DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler: Andre falls into Eagle River at the climax.]]
18	** [[spoiler: Subverted as he survives, albeit badly bruised.]]

20	* BreakHisHeartToSaveHim: Maya tried this to Phoenix, it failed miserably.
21	--> '''Phoenix''': "Oh, I understand perfectly. You're trying to build a wall. You're trying to shut me out. You're the Master of Kurain and you've resigned yourself to a sad and lonely existence. You're doing this to protect me. Send me away so I don't try to solve your problems by making them my own."
22	* DrowningMySorrows: Phoenix after [[spoiler: losing Maya to Althea's schemes and getting disbarred.]]
23	* EvilAunt: [[spoiler: Morgan Fey, of course]]
24	* EvilPaysBetter: You'll probably get pretty pissed when you figure out [[spoiler: Morgan committed arson and killed Luciana Armando for the money, simply for the freaking ''money'']].
25	* ExtremeDoormat: Maya was in the brink of becoming one earlier in regards to becoming the Khurain Master (trying to cope with her recent traumas alongside it doesn't help) thankfully, Phoenix helped her [[TookALevelInBadass grow a spine first...]] Until the WhamLine.
26	* ForcefulKiss: Phoenix delivers an angry one to Maya when [[spoiler: she tries to push him away to spare him the heartbreak of being tangled up with the Fey family's mess.]]
27	* FrothyMugsOfWater: Averted. Instead of his infamous [[RunningGag 'Grape Juice']] Phoenix chugged on real wine.
28	* HistoryRepeats: This seems to be where everything is heading. The Master falls for a lawyer, a family member doesn't like her position as Master and attempts to overthrow her, tragedy strikes, people die. Let's just hope the lawyer survives at the end this time.

34	* LoveMakesYouEvil: It turns out [[spoiler: Morgan Fey was actually in love with Misty's husband and Maya and Mia's father: Sebastian Fey]]. She went so insane about it she [[spoiler: killed him because of it]].
35	* TheMentor: Mia Fey, so much she's almost the leader for the entire operation. She's become Maya's Dr. Phil and Phoenix's beloved mentor once again.
36	* OriginalCharacter: Oh, plenty, but a fitting plenty. Mostly in the Fey family, like Andre, Althea, [[spoiler: Sebastian]], Lillian, etc.
37	** We can't forget about [[spoiler: Diego's mother]], Luciana [[spoiler: Armando]].
38	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Phoenix and Maya got to switch [[StraightManAndWiseGuy their usual]] [[SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl roles]] several times in the story as Maya started to take her duty too seriously and Phoenix began to worry she was letting herself being pushed around by her family's expectations.
39	* StarCrossedLovers: Our poor dorks just want to be together but the universe keeps on throwing bricks at them.
40	* StupidSexyFriend: Phoenix spent a handful of the earlier chapters trying to come to terms with the fact that he is starting to see Maya as a woman and not the teenage girl when he first met her.
41	* ThisIsReality:
42	-->'''Phoenix''': Stupid Edgeworth. Where does he get off being so cool, whipping out lines like that and then disappearing off into the sunset. That doesn't happen in real life. It's like something out of a movie.
43	* TookALevelInBadass: After all the studying and building her resolve to be the Master of Kurain, Maya managed to deliver an epic verbal smackdown to the elders of the village. Even Phoenix was left flabbergasted by her eloquence.

45	* WellDoneSonGuy: Andre to [[spoiler: Morgan]].
46	* WillTheyOrWontThey: The first half of the fanfic for Maya and Phoenix.
