* ''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 [[Super Smash Bros.]] 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.

* Recommended by: Aruu
* ''Synopsis'': One of the biggest Kink Memes that's still going strong at a massive 23 parts.
* ''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.

* ''Comments'': Contains [[Loads and Loads of Characters]] from both universes. Was updated once every day in the month of May for an LJ community.
''[http://pyrasaur.livejournal.com/477606.html To Each a Tempo]'', written by Pyrasaur
* Recommended by Beckstar
* ''Synopsis'': A ''[[Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney]]'' / ''[[Elite Beat Agents]]'' crossover. An Elite Beat Agent is accused of murdering the person he just finished saving, putting the top-secret Agency at risk of a damning first impression to the world. Phoenix and Maya must cover up their defendant's identity while uncovering the rest of the truth: who really killed the old woman in the secluded park, and why?
* ''Comments'': Only requires a basic knowledge of the EBA characters and mechanics to understand. Takes place soon after ''PW: Justice For All''. Explicit spoiler for ''JFA'' case 4, numerous vaguely alluded spoilers for the first two ''PW'' games. The author perfectly weaves the Elite Beat Agents into the world of Phoenix Wright.
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4966474/1/Slow_Dance Slow Dance]'', written by Ellcrys
* Recommended by Jarell88, moooomoooo
* ''Synopsis'': After Vera's trial comes an even more difficult struggle: trying to figure out what a normal life is and how to live it.
* ''Comments'': The process of recovery and adaptation from a life of complete seclusion is not an easy one. Ellcrys wonderfully takes one of the minor characters from the Ace Attorney universe, and spins a tale so real, you'll be crying for the poor girl before the fic is halfway through.
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5842017/1/On_Broken_Wings On Broken Wings]'' by icer01
* Recommended by Suspicious Cookie
* ''Synopsis'': This is an AU that follows the 'bad ending' to Case 4 of JFA. After 2-4's Bad End scenario, Morgan's plot still stands, like a ticking time bomb. Will Phoenix's destiny again collide with the Fey Clan?
* ''Comments'': This is a 2-4 Bad End AU, which is a great premise. The alternate take on how 3-5 would have happened on this timeline is fascinating, the writing is great and there's a nice amount of angst - enough but not too much.

* ''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?
* ''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 know 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.
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6977775/1/No_Place_For_A_Hero No Place For A Hero]'' by MexMarco
* Recommended by
* Status: Completed
* ''Synopsis'': One year after People v. Misham, Phoenix has reopened his law offices and recovered his attorney badge. Now both he and Apollo must prepare to do battle with the future, two murders and a court system that still refuses to change. Major spoilers for all five games!
Line 91 ⟶ 71:
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5104141/1/Trucys_Daddy# Trucy's Daddy]'' by [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/29054/Ellcrys Ellcrys]
* Recommended by
* ''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)
* ''Comments'': Perfect characterization, heart wrenching storyline and little to no appearance of the dreaded [[Idiot Ball]], {{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.
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4282230/1/Dementia/ Dementia]'' by [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1534555/SoWrightSoWrong SoWrightSoWrong]
* Recommended by: Aruu
* ''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.
* ''Pairing(s)'': Some Edgeworth/Phoenix, but it's hardly the focus.
* ''Comments'': Utterly heartbreaking. The author is not only a talented writer, but they have clearly done their research into Alzheimer's. [[Tear Jerker|You will cry after reading this.]]
''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLesqcasdpQ Phoenix Wright: Devil's Attorney]'', created by [http://www.youtube.com/user/LordIban?feature=watch LordIban]
* Recommended by Kytseo
* ''Synopsis'': A crossover between ''Ace Attorney'' and ''[[Disgaea
* ''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).
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7315987/1/Apollo_Justice_New_Beginnings Apollo Justice: New Beginnings]'', by [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1387809/Gazing_on_the_Arabesque Gazing on the Arabesque]
* Recommended by
* ''Summary'': My take on a second Apollo Justice game. Phoenix Wright passed the bar exam, but must watch five of Apollo's trials before he can officially practice law again. With Phoenix's new badge, old acquaintances arrive, some good, some bad.
* ''Comments'': This story really takes after the Ace Attorney games it's supposed to be a sequel to. Readers will rejoice at the arrival of several old characters from the [[Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney|Phoenix Saga]] that people missed in [[Apollo Justice]]. In addition, the humor and court cases themselves really fit into the world of Ace Attorney, and people who missed Phoenix in the protaganist role will be happy to find that he is also around. Put it simply, if this was actually the real Ace Attorney 5, I would buy it on the launch date!

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3370564/1/Follow_the_Fool Follow the Fool]'' by CantFakeTheFunk ([[Slash Fic]].)
* Recommended by The Turtle Guy
* ''Pairing'': Franziska von Karma/Adrian Andrews.
* ''Synopsis'': Four months after the final case in
* ''Comments'': The definitive Fran/Adrian fic. Great insight into the minds of both women. The OC is fantastic as well, fitting the quirky nature of the series while staying fresh and funny.

* Recommended by
* ''Pairing'': Ema Skye/Klavier Gavin.
* ''Synopsis'': A story that starts with Ema's first kiss, and follows her relationship with Klavier throughout the span of the series. Contains spoilers from the first and fourth Ace Attorney games.
Line 145 ⟶ 111:
* ''Pairing'': Ema Skye x Klavier Gavin.
* ''Synopsis'': How do you love everything about someone yet hate them at the exact same time? That was one question Ema could never answer.
* ''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 in 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.
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4297116/1/Piano_Man Piano Man]'' by Trench Kamen. (Explicit sexual content, language, detailed descriptions of injury later on. Yaoi. Het. Suggested yuri.)
* Recommended by fatalfeline
* ''Pairing'': Phoenix/Edgeworth-centric, though it deals with many other pairings as well (most notably Maggey/Gumshoe).
* ''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.

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3823270/1/Of_Fake_Fairytales_and_Faux_Amour Of Fake Fairytales and Faux Amour]'' by Lyrical Rawr
* Recommended by
* ''Pairing'': Phoenix/Edgeworth, fake at first
* ''Synopsis'': 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...
* ''Comments'': This is a stark contrast to my previous recommendation above. Where Shadows is tear-jerky and sniffle-inducing, OFFAFA is hilarious! The OC, Kath Everett, is written so well, and Edgeworth and Phoenix seem so in character! My only gripe is, hey, the plot is a little overused, but Rawr more than makes up for it by her superb writing and laugh-a-minute jokes. Be warned, though, it gets a bit long at times.
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5709927/1/The_man_who_looked_at_the_sky The Man Who Looked at the Sky]'' by Carlis Black
* Recommended by
* ''Pairing'': Klavier/Apollo, as the story goes on
* ''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...
''[http://bethfrish.livejournal.com/257510.html The Last Job]'' by bethfrish
* Recommended by chameleonbreath
* ''Pairing'': Tyrell Badd/Calisto Yew/Byrne Faraday
Line 190 ⟶ 153:
* ''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-notch. 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.

* ''Pairing'': Maya/Phoenix
* ''Synopsis'': It was all supposed to be over at the end of the Hazakurain Trial, but what secrets still remain unspoken about the Fey family past? Is Maya's life in danger yet again?

* recommended by oceanlover4evr
* A kink-meme fill, this is absolutely amazing, and is one of the longest ones yet, still ongoing at 264 chapters.
* Synopsis: The Ace Attorney characters in a dystopian AU.
* Comments: It's absolutely heart-breaking. The main pairings are Miles/Phoenix and Apollo/ Klavier, and it is BEAUTIFUL.
