I’m emamored with the idea of Apollo, Athena, Klavier, and Simon becoming a really tight group of friends who, like, do dumb stuff together and make sure to enjoy their youth outside their difficult professional lives.
It’s mainly orchestrated by Athena, and it starts off with just her and Apollo chilling after office hours. Then, when Athena starts to suspect he and Klavier have a “thing” — and when she starts to really get worried about Klav, because she can hear a note of distress in his heart whenever she sees him in court — she convinces Apollo that they should start inviting him to hang out:
“I think he needs a friend, Apollo.”
“He should have plenty of friends! He’s a rockstar! Why would he want to hang out with us?”
(Because he likes you... more than I think you realize.) “Weren’t you the one who told me his entire band broke up after his best friend was arrested? And what about his brother? More than anything, I just think he needs people to talk to about this sort of thing, and who wouldn’t get it better than you and I?”
“...”
So Klav starts getting invited out to stuff with them, and yeah, Athena was absolutely right — he did really need some friends he could talk to. It takes a while for him to open up about it, but it happens, and it brings the three of them closer together.
Next is Simon. Athena spends time with him separately, but she knows he’s having difficulties adjusting to life outside of prison, and that she’s really the only person he has as a friend since his sister is still in prison, and most people are afraid of him. So she brings it to the table with Apollo and Klav.
“What would you guys think about Simon coming to dinner with us next time?”
“Uh... the scary ex-convict prosecutor?”
“He’s not that scary, Apollo! Klav?”
“Ja, I’m fine with it. But I’ll admit I don’t know much about him, even though we work together...”
“It’ll be fine. Don’t let the way he looks fool you: He’s a big softie, really! And I think he needs some guy friends.”
Simon is a lot more hesitant to agree to spending time with their group than Klavier. He’s not nearly as outgoing, and not as young for that matter. He’s nearly 30, and the others are in their early to mid 20s. But Athena persists — “You’ve missed so much! You need to make up for lost time!” — and so Simon agrees to one dinner.
It ends up being more than that. Perhaps to everyone’s surprise, Simon fits in super well (His wry sense of humor wins over Klav, which in turn wins over Apollo), and the rest is history. They’re together every weekend (and some weeknights, when there isn’t a case going on) after that. And God, do they have the fun they deserve.
They book escape rooms and make it out every time because they’re a bunch of brilliant minds put together. They go mini golfing and are all garbage at it but roast each other anyway. They go out grocery shopping and Simon ends up pushing Klavier around in the shopping cart as they pick up food to eat while they hang out at whoever’s place. They watch bad movies until they all fall asleep on the couch. They introduce Simon to video games like Smash and Mario Kart. Athena starts collecting card and board games (Cards Against Humanity is absolutely at the top of the list) for them, and when they have game nights, it ends up being way more than just them: It’s Phoenix and Trucy and Ema and, of course, somehow Edgeworth ends up being dragged into it too, and it’s just a grand old time.
Anyway, you can pry Athena, Apollo, Klav, and Simon being BFFs from my cold, dead hands.

ace attorney bc thats all i ever talk about (and lord knows there arent enough characters in voltron to do this one )
Favorite character: Edgeworth, this hasn’t changed in foreverLeast Favorite character: Manfred von Karma, may he roast in hell5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Kay/Franziska, Phoenix/Edgeworth, uh…Trucy/Athena, Apollo/Klavier, and um, I dunno, Ema/Snakoos (will I ever use ship names? nah, probably not)Character I find most attractive: Lana is really pretty, and so is Klav, and that one guy from the SoJ DLC that I have yet to buy, who’s name I do not know.Character I would marry: Edgeworth, except I’m like, 99.99% certain he has zero (0) interest in womenCharacter I would be best friends with: I dunno, I wanna be friends with everyone in the AA universeA random thought: Clay didn’t deserve thatAn unpopular opinion: Dude, I dunno…I guess I’m like, super chill with all the games, and like, not unhappy with the storytelling post-AA4? I know a lot of fans don’t like DD or even SoJ’s writing, but I’m cool with it. I’ve read Danganronpa and Tokyo Ghoul and a handful of bad YA novels, I don’t think I’m going to come across plots worse than those.My canon OTP: Look, Phoenix/Edgeworth might as well be canonNon-canon OTP: Kay/Franziska, the rarest of rarepairsMost badass character: Dude, there’s a lot, but Susato and Athena come to mindPairing I am not a fan of: Incest pairingsCharacter I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): Mhmm…there are a few side characters who weren’t…good…at all…I think we all know who they were, but for major characters well…I have my opinions about Nahyuta, but he technically wasn’t written poorly.Favourite friendship: The entire WAA agency, Edgeworth and Kay and Gumshoe, Gregory and Ray…basically any good friendship is wholesome and I love it.

Discord of Prosecutors and Detectives
More Bullshit Defense AU fic, and a different Discord server from the other times. Set right after Turnabout Time Traveler.
--
[A Discord server named “Official Los Angeles Distrinct Prosecutors Office”. The typo has been present since the creation of the server and never fixed. It contains a number of channels, such as “general”, “important announcements”, “unimportant announcements”, “work vent”, “family vent”, “other vent”, “meme quarantine”, and “meme breach of containment”.]

Forensics Fuck-O
so that’s in short
how Fran and I get to go to a fancy rich people wedding
the defendant is Freud’s corpse
not to sound rude to prosecutors or anything
since I work with you all
and am friends with you all
but I’m surprised they invited the prosecution
like in general
it’s not you Frau
it’s just like
generally
why would you invite someone who tried to convict you for murder to your wedding
Literally Royal, Metaphorically Bastard
Ah.
That may present a future problem.
the defendant is Freud’s corpse
well no that’s different
we knew you like. before you prosecuted Trucy
also that’s different because you weren’t even trying to convict her
Literally Royal, Metaphorically Bastard
That is a blatantly untrue statement, Ms. Cykes. I was doing my job to the whole of my abilities.
the defendant is Freud’s corpse
right
yknow I guess you’re not lying if you consider the job of a prosecutor to be catching the guilty
and not just convicting whatever defendant they place in front of you
because you were not trying to convict Trucy
like in the slightest
Literally Royal, Metaphorically Bastard
Well, Thalassa did tell me that the identity of the victim was not the original Mr. Reus, and further that the Gramarye-hating TV producer who committed contract fraud was the original Mr. Reus, and should that not be enough to make anyone suspicious? I could hardly discount critical testimony from my brother’s other mother.
Forensics Fuck-O
Isn’t it ‘brother from another mother’
Literally Royal, Metaphorically Bastard
Yes and I said what I said, because my family tree is a mangrove swamp.
Surrounded by Fools
That is correct because I just realized that we may be related.
the defendant is Freud’s corpse
but like Trucy aside I mean like
this situation
where you’d never met the fancy rich people having a wedding before
and you’re the one trying to get the bride convicted
and she’s like
hey come to my third attempt at a wedding reception
maybe this one will work out
Forensics Fuck-O
The defense was invited and that’s Miles and Mr Wright and Maya so they kinda encouraged the invite to us
Which is fantastic because that catering was dope
FaraGAY
I’m so jealous
I wanna go to a wedding on a blimp
hey
@Surrounded by Fools
if ur bro and Nick ever get married
can they get a “we saved ur asses” discount from the Sprocketts to rent the blimp for their wedding
or can you and Emmy get ur shits together and get married on a blimp
who doesn’t want a blimp wedding
Forensics Fuck-O
lmao you should’ve seen Mr Wright’s face when we went out on top of the blimp
he looked like he was gonna hork and just dragged us all back down
I don’t think he wants a blimp wedding
FaraGAY
hey what about that other part that I said
are u ignoring that
Forensics Fuck-O
Conspicuously ignoring that, in fact
the defendant is Freud’s corpse
I wanna attend a wedding on a blimp
or just like any wedding because I remember the food was good at my moms’
and I got to eat a lot of it because we got a lot of food but only invited like ten people
Birdman-dono
Which unfortunately meant less people to hear my roast of my sister.
the defendant is Freud’s corpse
I don’t care what my mom says about your speechifying I’m totally letting you make a speech at my wedding
it’ll be MY wedding so I get to choose to get roasted!
anyway @everyone someone get married already!! Blimp time!!!!!
Guilty Love, on the kazoo
Mhm, Apollo isn’t fond of heights so I don’t think that’s something we would do.
Literally Royal, Metaphorically Bastard
Are y
you marrying my brother?
Guilty Love, on the kazoo
Huh? No
Literally Royal, Metaphorically Bastard
Then why NOT?
Either commit or stop stringing him along.
Guilty Love, on the kazoo
wait
Literally Royal, Metaphorically Bastard
I have been very restrained about not kicking your ass but this is my little brother we are talking about.
And one thing I know very well about Apollo is that he prefers stability and certainty because we spent enough of our childhoods not knowing what was coming in the next day or hour.
Guilty Love, on the kazoo
wait
the defendant is Freud’s corpse
I think there’s a communication issue somewhere in here
Forensics Fuck-O
Thanks for that, Sherlock
Birdman-dono
lmao
Guilty Love, on the kazoo
I am not currently planning a wedding to your brother
but I would not be averse to the prospect
Literally Royal, Metaphorically Bastard
Oh
Well then why AREN’T you currently planning it?
That’s a joke this time.
Guilty Love, on the kazoo
Danke
I was not sure
Literally Royal, Metaphorically Bastard
It would not be a joke from my parents but I am not them.
I know you were frustrated that Apollo didn’t tell you what was happening back in May in time for you to come to Khura’in with us and help us sort out everything but that was probably better for you that you didn’t have to survive our parents cross-examining and interrogating you on when you plan to propose to Apollo.
Guilty Love, on the kazoo
Why am I the one who has to and not him
Literally Royal, Metaphorically Bastard
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
You think they DON’T hassle him about it?
Guilty Love, on the kazoo
A h
FaraGAY
LMAOOOO
DebestGAY
guy entering the room that is on fire with pizza dot gif
Literally Royal, Metaphorically Bastard
‘Where are the grandkids, Apollo? We’re WAITING!’
Guilty Love, on the kazoo
They do uh
realize that
uh
Literally Royal, Metaphorically Bastard
‘Just adopt a dozen, Apollo, what are you waiting for?’
Guilty Love, on the kazoo
A DOZEN
FaraGAY
LMAO
KLAV
RIP
Literally Royal, Metaphorically Bastard
I am well aware that had my aunt not been a human nightmare, and then the country needed rebuilding after her reign, that I would have at least ten younger siblings.
Forensics Fuck-O
So they’re just like the Fran’s dad of the eastern hemisphere
like here are the eight young adults who have lived out of the guest room at some point or another
FaraGAY
half of the current legal system
half of this chat
yknow
anyway
we drifted away from the point of this convo
WHICH WAS harassing someone into getting married so we can go party on a blimp
DebestGAY
Couldn’t we just rent a blimp and throw a non-wedding party?
FaraGAY
get ur logic out of here
we want a blimp party
and
to encourage our stupid friends
to stop beating round the bush
and just get married already
Surrounded by Fools
I’ll tell Maya that you’re planning to propose soon, then, and it can be your wedding.
FaraGAY
wait
Literally Royal, Metaphorically Bastard
Kurain Village likely has some very specific wedding traditions for their mediums that could not be held on a blimp, no?
FaraGAY
yeah think so
thx for the out, my dude
Literally Royal, Metaphorically Bastard
That was not an ‘out’.
That was an ‘obviously your solution is to have two ceremonies’. Hop to it.
the defendant is Freud’s corpse
HELL yeah!!! two parties!!! double food!!!!!
FaraGAY
o fuck yeah
Maya would like that
okay maybe if none of u other LOSERS are then I will be the one to get married and have a BLIMP PARTY

Literally Royal, Metaphorically Bastard
Ms. Cykes, there is something I meant to ask you about your name in this server.
And that ‘something’ is: what?
the defendant is Freud’s corpse
I’m gonna dig up Freud and put him on trial for crimes against 1. humanity 2. classic literature
it’s not like Oedipus WANTED that to happen!!
so anyway it’s like
you know that one pope who dug up his predecessor and put him on trial and sentenced him
Literally Royal, Metaphorically Bastard
NO??
the defendant is Freud’s corpse
yeah go look that up
you were prob already looking that up before I said
but yeah that’s what I wanna do with Freud
Literally Royal, Metaphorically Bastard
Thank you for making me hate myself for asking.
the defendant is Freud’s corpse
