@buried-stars oops
Crossing That Bridge When We Come To It (or, there must have been worse dates)
Apollo Justice doesn't go on dates, not really. For one, he hasn't really had the time. Pushing yourself through law school and working various minimum-wage jobs on the side so you have the money to push yourself through law school doesn't exactly lead to much time for leisure. He also just can't imagine what you're supposed to do on a date. Sure, there's all the movie staples of going to a restaurant, going to the movies, getting coffee...but Apollo can't quite piece together how any of that is supposed to lead to a definitive decision to be in a relationship.
This is why, when Klavier Gavin had asked, quite offhandedly, if he'd like to go on a stroll around People Park and get some food afterwards, "as a date, ja?", Apollo had been startled enough to automatically agree. It was only around ten minutes later, once he'd finished packing up his briefcase and organizing his post-trial paperwork, that he'd realized exactly what he'd agreed to.
Trucy had, of course, utilized her impeccable sense of comedic timing to get a photo of his oh shit I said I'd do what? face.
Now, five minutes before he's supposed to head out the door, Apollo steels his nerve and takes several deep breaths and prepares to reassure himself in the customary way---
Knock, knock
Thrown off-balance, Apollo lets out a startled yelp and grasps at whatever's closest that he might theoretically be able to use as a weapon against whoever's decided to show up on his doorstep. He's gotten a little more paranoid since law school--especially with everything his first few real cases entailed.
He cautiously opens the door, cursing once again the lack of any sort of peephole. Apollo's prepared for a sales pitch, for a pair of missionaries, for anything, almost.
He's not prepared for the person outside his door to be Klavier Gavin, looking cool and casual but dressed just noticeably nicer than usual.
Apollo curses under his breath. He'd thought he would have more time before he'd have to contend with a date-ready celebrity prosecutor!
"Hallo, Apollo! I know we agreed to meet at the park, but as I was driving over I remembered that your apartment is right on the way, and thought I would offer a ride!" Klavier grins, all perfect teeth and camera-ready enthusiasm. Apollo bets he's been on plenty of dates.
"Uhhh..." he manages. Come on, get it together! "Sure. That would be...cool."
Wow, great job, idiot.
"Fantastich! Then let's be off, into the sunset!" Klavier wraps his hand around Apollo's wrist and pulls him out of his apartment. He's just about able to grab his wallet and keys from his side table, but leaves his phone behind completely.
"So, you said you drove here?" he asks, to make conversation. Klavier busies himself with extracting a set of keys from his pocket as they descend Apollo's apartment building steps.
"I did--I live slightly too far from the center of town to be able to walk. Fortunately, that means you'll be able to experience the wind in your hair the way I do every day!"
Apollo's still processing that statement when his eyes land on the motorcycle.
"Oh--your bike? I'm not sure...maybe I'd better walk." Backpedaling this quickly into a date probably wasn't the done thing, but Apollo's trying hard to ignore the fear bubbling in his stomach at the idea of something that goes at highway speeds but offers about as much protection as his own bicycle.
"We all have to face our fears eventually, Herr Forehead. And I was exaggerating about the wind in your hair. It'll all be under my spare helmet." Klavier's reached the bike now, rummaging around in a storage compartment Apollo hadn't even noticed. He tosses a sturdy helmet to Apollo, who catches it on instinct.
"If I thought you would be in any way unsafe, I would not offer," Klavier says gently, meeting Apollo's eyes. "But if you're truly uncomfortable, we can walk from here."
Apollo bites at the inside of his cheeks, then takes a deep breath. He looks at the bike. He looks at Klavier.
"No, I'll...I want to try it. I know the bike's important to you."
Klavier's true smile lights up his face in the way that his rehearsed, stage-face smile doesn't.
"Then climb on, and we'll be away!"
---
The ride isn't as bad as Apollo had expected it to be. Klavier sticks studiously to the speed limit all the way to People Park, and he's an almost frustratingly careful driver. By the time they're climbing off the bike at the familiar gateway to the park, Apollo's almost complaining about the ride not being exciting enough.
Furthermore, he's discovered that Klavier's opinions on pizza toppings are just entirely wrong, and that's given them something to talk about, falling back into familiar patterns as they wander through the location of their first crime scene together.
"You can't seriously be advocating for pineapple on pizza. That's more of a crime than anything we've seen in court."
"Ach, and here I thought you were a man of taste! It's senseless to rehash this debate, it's been had for as long as people have had access to pineapples and pizza at the same time."
"Okay, but consider: you're wrong about that and about sweetcorn as a pizza topping."
"It's a classic!"
Apollo scowls. "Where?"
"Germany, of course." Klavier's boots scuff the gravel path, and he turns towards the small stream that divides the park in two. There's an ornamental bridge linking the sides, and they step onto the red-painted wood together.
"I don't believe you. As a matter of fact, I don't believe you're even German! I think it's all just a publicity stunt!" Apollo knows he's being inflammatory, but he can't help it. Something about being with Klavier brings out a need to debate everything he says.
"Objection!" Klavier shouts, on instinct, flinging his arm out--and everything goes downhill from there.
Specifically, everything goes down--Klavier's arm collides with Apollo, who's mid-step, halfway across the bridge. Already off-balance, Klavier's accidental shove is all that Apollo needs to go tumbling over the low bridge railing and to land, ass-first, in the water.
There's a few seconds where they just look at each other, frozen in various states of shock. Klavier's mouth is hanging open in comical surprise, and Apollo's hair drips into his vision. He's not hurt, the drop was far too small for that--but he's soaking up the decorative river and attracting attention from the koi who call the water home.
Then, as though a switch has been flipped, they spring into motion. Klavier jumps down into the water, too, his boots causing a secondary splash that just soaks Apollo more. Apollo starts to laugh, incredulously, unable to believe that this is actually happening. Even as Klavier helps him up and steers him back to dry land, Apollo feels like he's in a dream.
It takes a little while before he notices that Klavier's spewing a stream of apologies and asking after his wellbeing. Apollo's been preoccupied with wringing out his hoodie and lamenting the state of his second-best pair of jeans, but he grabs Klavier's arm as he tries to fuss over him, and tries to reassure him the best he can.
"Klavier! It's fine. Yeah, I'm kind of annoyed, but honestly, seeing how guilty you looked right after I fell in pretty much made up for it."
Klavier frowns deeply. "So you're saying that you're glad I feel bad about pushing you in?"
"No!" Apollo sighs. "I've just...never seen you not be completely put together and composed. It was kind of reassuring that you can be caught off-guard by something too."
"Oh," says Klavier. "But, Apollo...surely you knew I was worried that I'd do something to screw this up spectacularly from the start?"
"You were what?" Apollo thinks back on the past couple hours. Yeah, maybe he'd noticed that Klavier's smiles were a little strained, that he'd had a spare second helmet ready to take Apollo on his bike despite supposedly being 'on the way' to the park...but Apollo himself had been too preoccupied with trying to anticipate what the date would be like to notice.
"I was nervous! Practically trembling! Ja, I've been on a few dates before, but I didn't want to do something to scare you, specifically, away."
"...huh," Apollo remarks. Then he takes the scene in again: him, soaking wet up past his waist; Klavier, his custom black boots mud-splattered and his ripped black jeans sodden, the audience of koifish and bemused park patrons wandering by.
"Guess that ship's sailed, then. I don't know of anything worse that could happen besides being accidentally pushed off of a bridge."
Klavier winces. "I didn't mean it! I was simply a little too caught up in our debate."
"Let's cut our losses and skip the 'going out for food' part of this date, if you don't mind? I can't imagine anyone would let us in their restaurant looking like this."
"Ja..." Klavier says, wincing. He sounds as dejected as he'll let himself be. "Let me at least drive you home, schatz. To make up for the...pushing."
Apollo's mind is still whirring, though, because this isn't how he'd wanted this to end either. He'd been having a good time up until this point--surely there must be something he could do to fix this.
Unless...
"Sure, I'll let you drive me home. But...do you want to stay and have dinner with me? I can't promise anything fancy, but there's a good handful of takeout places around."
The difference in Klavier's expression is staggering--and for the second time today, Apollo sees his genuine smile come through, and realizes why so many people want to kiss this man.
He just hopes that Klavier will let him get the opportunity to do so before he pushes him in any more rivers.

I rarely self-promote on this blog, and I'm not even fully self-promoting now, but this post is twofold!
The first is to tell you that over the course of the year I have been writing a reality show Klapollo AU called 'your lover in the foyer doesn't even know you' (stylized without capital letters) and there are only two chapters left, so I will probably finish it some time this year. There's a lot of wacky hijinks but also balanced with more serious notes about grief and loss and moving on past it and it has 161 kudos so a lot of people have been enjoying it and if you enjoy tropes like slow burn and there was only one bed and fake dating, please go check it out!
The second is that one of my readers is an amazing artist and just for fun decided that they wanted to draw fanart of one of the scenes in the story! They are not on tumblr but they are on twitter or X or whatever it's called as ziegfried_jpg so go check them out and then check out my story to find out the context of this art!
#look what i made#actually look what THEY made#nobody has ever drawn art of my story unless i specifically paid them to before#and i'm like crying because i never even let myself want that to happen cause it felt like an impossible dream#but it happened!!!!!#klapollo#fanfiction#klapollo fanfic#klavier gavin#apollo justice#i'm just a weepy sodden mess like this is so lovely#am i even allowed to have it? do i deserve things like this?

Routines: A Klapollo oneshot by adrianthethey. Originally posted on wattpad.
Apollo and Klavier, Klavier and Apollo. Two gay lawyers with a dog and a cat. The whole shtick. We love them, we ship them.
-----
Klavier was humming as he watched his boyfriend making pancakes. Apollo didn't mind, in fact, he smiled while his back was turned. "I could get used to you in an apron, Herr Forehead." Apollo turned around and gave a flustered death glare. Klavier figured it'd be less cute if he wasn't wearing an apron that said "Best Cat Dad Ever" and blushing with a scrunched up nose. "Kidding, kidding, Schatz." "Your pancakes, you perfect fop." Apollo said, turning off the stovetop and placing a stack of pancakes in front of him. Apollo propped his head on his fist as they ate they pancakes. Klavier gave him a syrupy kiss on the lips as they finished. Klavier then insisted on aiding him to wash the dishes. It was a soft, sweet and domestic routine. They rode Klavier's motercycle to work together, kissing before separating and going to their court cases, or different firms. Sometimes they'd face each other in court, making sure they weren't being too partial to one another. Occasionally they'd flirt openly before Ema or Athena told them to focus. After cases they'd go get coffee with the girls and Sebastien. Maya usually succeeded at dragging them to the ramen shop, and it was fun. Though sometimes Dadwright™ and Dadworth™ would insist on chaperoning their kids (which embarrassed Apollo deeply.) Afterwards they'd head home, watch a movie with their fur babies and then head to bed or sleep on the couch curled up with a blanket. Rinse and repeat.
-----
This was a good writers block breaker. I definitely recommend using perhance's prompt generator for oneshots. They help you get in the flow. I feel like this one is well-written and demonstrates my thoughts and headcanons for this ship.

Excerpt:
“You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?” Apollo accuses. His blush goes blotchy, just a tad less charmed than before.
Klavier tries to smooth out his laugh, making it sound more languid than how he actually feels. “Very much,” he admits.
This only serves to make Apollo even more flustered though— he kind of slams the cutlery against the napkins. “Are you always like this?”
Klavier snickers under his breath at Apollo’s reliable reactions. They’re just so… endearing. “Like what, Herr Forehead?” It’s impossible not to enjoy their banter.
Apollo freezes for a second and just looks at Klavier, the line of his mouth bending and reshaping. “That’s also a trap,” he finally says. He sits in the chair closest to him, rolling up his sleeves.
Klavier smirks. “Well, it might be. You’ll just have to trip it to find out,” he fires back expertly.

get loose, get over it
chapter seven: something incredibly fucking stupid
ao3 link || read from the beginning
Rating: M (suggestive references/humour + strong language)
Pairing(s): Klavier Gavin/Apollo Justice, Apollo Justice & Athena Cykes (platonic)
Preview:
He watches as Klavier finishes the rest of his drink, before sliding his sunglasses back on. “Are we done here?” he asks, already starting to get out of his chair as he speaks.
"No!" Apollo raises his voice a little louder than intended, then feels his heart skip a beat and his stomach twist as the other patrons in the bar turn to face their table. He holds his breath, waiting for someone to inevitably recognise Klavier and releasing it after a few seconds when nobody does, clearing his throat before continuing, "No, don't go yet," he says, fully aware of how pathetic he sounds, "Please."
...
In which Klavier and Apollo... talk.

My personal headcanon is that klavier posts the most unhinged stuff on his twitter.
Like he’ll do some promo for a new album and then his next post will be like “lusting so hard for ice cream rn. Here’s a picture of my dog”
And then all of his fans would be like “oh haha I’ll be ur ice cream 😏😏😏” and then klavier just responds with “no actually the ice cream is my boyfriend @ chordsofsteel”
And Apollo gets notified of this and wakes up to thirty billion notifications because klavier is too weirdgirl. And he’s like god fucking dammit klavier you know I don’t like your fans
And then all those online news sites with nothing to post say “Klavier Gavin makes SEXUAL JOKE on his twitter! Boyfriend in shambles!”
Tldr we as a fandom need to make klavier weirder. He deserves to be a little silly. As a treat

@girlanachrotism sent me all but one? Two? Of these btw. I just think I should say that
A brief for the defense by Ophelia_writes (18 chapters, ONGOING, one of the most well-written fics I've ever read.

Highly highly recommend even though it's still ongoing)

If I woke up (next to you) by ApprenticeofDoyle (1 chapter, COMPLETED. Same universe as Pressure ^. Takes place after the engarde case, love confessions between phoenix and miles. Implied sexual content but nothing explicit)
You ever been in love? By hechima (6 chapters, COMPLETED. Apollo justice trilogy. Slow burn, miles and phoenix are so in love)

kick up the dust as we dance in the sun by whackamacka (11 chapters, COMPLETED. alright trust me on this one guys - 1930s dustbowl au narumitsu. Phoenix is an orphan farmboy who works ad a farmhand for the von karma estate. This one is so fucking good please try it I'm begging you)
come find me south of heaven by whackamacka (2 chapters, ONGOING. Sequel Fic to Kick Up The Dust. Phoenix as a defense attorney in Chicago)

smile for the camera (and keep your fingers crossed)
Chapter 2: Interrogations, Interviews, and Impromptu Not-A-Dates
So instead of the food trucks, he’d bought a sandwich and a soda from the convenience store (and maybe a magazine too, shut up, he needs the physical proof that yes, he had in fact kissed Klavier Gavin). He’d also bought a pair of nondescript sunglasses and a baseball hat, in the hopes that he’d have a good enough disguise to head back to the office without being recognized.
What Apollo Justice had failed to account for, however, was the fact that unlike in the movies, paparazzi aren’t stupid.
Well. Whoops! Didn't mean to take so long to post this chapter, but...here we are, more than a whole year later. Hopefully the chapter's interesting enough to make up for it?
In all seriousness, thank you so much to everyone who's read, commented, and reminded me that there are people out there waiting for the continuation of the story. Somehow I thought I'd already posted the start of this chapter?? Maybe I just thought about doing it so much that I thought it had happened already.
But anyway...I'm going to make sure the gap between this chapter and the next is significantly shorter--you guys deserve to not have to wait for annual fic updates, lmao
As ever, huge thanks to @cubedmango for providing some incredible spot art! And for understanding the "oops, what do you mean i didn't post that?" moment I went through like two weeks ago.
#lucy's thoughts#my writing#klapollo#klavier gavin#apollo justice#klapollo fanfic#ace attorney#ace attorney fanfic#me: yeah the part i left off on was right after the ramen date right?#me actually checking the fic: WAIT FUCK#thanks for the patience though#it's been a busy year and my brain has been all over the place#i think ive mentioned before but i always intend to finish all my wip fics#even the ones i never finished from when i was 12 years old on ff.net lmao#should i give up on those ones? yes! but something in my mind just goes 'what if?'#next on the agenda: the jukebox musical fic's final chapter#and writing the next half of the next chapter of this fic#and so on so forth#ANYWAY hi people who read all the tags#how soon is too soon to reread a book after you finish it#for example: if a book youve been waiting almost a year for just came out today and you read all of it already#should you wait until tomorrow to reread it?#should you reread the whole series again?#these are my questions i guess#ANYWAY ENJOY THE FIC

Here's some sketches I did for my Ace Attorney Fanfic on AO3!
Currently it's on Chapter 19!
It's basically about Trucy making a group chat with Kay and Sebastian. But as they add more people from their close circle, the chat becomes about trying to push Phoenix and Miles to confess.
The ones with spoilers here pass this point so look at your own risk! ❤️

Coffee shop AU:
Klavier was tapping on the counter. "Glitterboy, stop it." Ema muttered like he was causing mass disturbance of the peace and not a minor disturbance of HER peace. "But he comes here!" "So? What about it? Do your job." "You give the worst romantic advice, Fräu Cykes." "Good," she said, deadpan. "That was my goal." Suddenly someone cleared their throat. "Hey, Klavier!" Trucy Wright and Apollo Justice were at the counter. Trucy was bouncing with glee, Apollo...? Not so much. "Fräulein! Herr Justice! Welcome back, what would you two like?" Klavier had a big grin and looked at his boyfriend's big brown eyes. "I'll get my usual. Truce'll get hers." Apollo smiled at Klavier gently and in a cutely awkward manner. "A black coffee, no sugar, just milk... And a double chocolate hot chocolate with exra whip!" "Polly, your boyfriend's good!" "I memorized your drinks is all." He winked at Apollo who in turn blushes. While this went on, Ema was waiting tables. Luckily it was relatively un-busy that day, or Klavier would be getting an earful from the Forensics Detective. Them getting a part-time job here was all because they had gotten into an argument and got punished by Miles Edgeworth to get a part-time together. It was a cozy environment and besides! It was Apollo's favourite coffee shop! Klavier thought it was a win-win. Ema however, had to worry about her girlfriend stealing baked goods everytime she popped in and to quote her 'Have to listen to a glamourous fop tippy-tap away all day.' Klavier always pretended not to hear the 'fop' part and only the 'glamourous' part. Klavier started preparing the drinks, putting the espresso into the espresso machine and pouring a bit of milk into it. He then made the hot chocolate by pouring the hot milk into the milk and dark chocolate blend. He finished it off with whipping cream, chocolate drizzle and star-shaped sprinkles. "Here's your drinks! It'll be 1210¥!" "Apollo and Trucy both pulled their wallets out at the same time. Trucy put 1100¥ on the counter before Apollo could and he glared at her before smacking 110¥ down. (AN: 1$ CAD = 109.21 ¥)
-----
"How was your shift?" Apollo said when they arrived at Klavier's flat. "Very good, schatz. It got better when you arrived." "Oh quiet!" Apollo put a hand in the blond's face. Klavier placed his hand on Apollo's and moved it to his lips, caressing his hand gently. "Trucy liked her hot chocolate a lot and told Pearl all about it. If you see them there on a date I apologize on her behalf." "Fräulein Fey and Fräulein Wright are lovely girls." "If you like having 18 year old girls gushing about romance at school then sure. Oh wait you delight in romance." "You love me for it or my many blatantly obvious hints wouldn't have landed me your love." "How was I supposed to know Klavier Gavin, a pompously handsome sassy man, didn't flirt with everyone?" "I like short defense attorneys with big brown eyes and spiky hair." "Wow you didn't mention my forehead, how kind of you." "It's an obvious feature." "I should've seen this coming." Klavier kisses his forehead.

(I wrote this in the break room at work and it’s short and on a cliffhanger bc that’s what I do best, but user @eleccy u hit my exact brand of fic preference. I probably will make this a full fic on ao3 soon if I get around to it.)
-
Oh.
Oh, it seemed so obvious now that it hit him in the face.
All Klavier could think about as Apollo’s crackled voice mentioned his father over the phone, attaching an image in their text messages, was of the guitar.
The guitar Lamiroir had gifted him so graciously when he had visited Borginia. She had traced her fingers delicately at the base of the neck of the guitar until they landed on a small carving. She explained that she’d had the guitar for so long that she forgot where it came from. She didn’t play the guitar, and was struggling to learn—partially from her loss of sight, mostly from her inability to have time to herself and no one to teach her.
“Your guitar playing moved me,” she explained. “The melodies are so lovely… it almost feels familiar. I don’t know where this guitar came from, but whoever played it before… I think, must’ve played as beautifully as you. I would like you to have it.”
And, of course, with great honor, Klavier accepted. It was such a sentimental gift, he felt the need to protect it. On top of that, the guitar was such high quality and in such excellent condition, it felt like he’d won the lottery.
Alas, it was unable to be saved. The incident in the summer of 2026 ripped the precious gift from his grasp before he could even put her to safety. But he was able to save a single, singed piece, with a barely legible carving, from the base of the neck of the guitar.
Now all he could do was stare at the cased up piece of wood with J.J. carved into it sitting in his guitar display as Apollo rambled on about his days in Khura’in, while the name Jove Justice rung through his head, and the all-too-familiar guitar stared back at him in an old picture of Apollo’s father.
So many instances played through his head. From the first time she reconnected after the incident, to their semi-regular coffee get-togethers where she would make comments that started to click. Things like, “How is Apollo doing? And Trucy?” and the hesitance, then denial every time Klavier offered to deliver mail or extend a phone number. And comments about remembering her past, but the resistance to provide details.
It all started to make so much sense, and Klavier wondered… did he know?
Subtly, as Apollo continued to talk, Klavier extended a text to the singer to ask what she knew. To ask for clarification. Did she know? Did she remember?
And god, what was Klavier going to do now that she admitted she’d known everything? It felt wrong not to say anything. Especially with Apollo right there on the phone, talking in total oblivion. God, Klavier even heard him mention how “they said they couldn’t find any information on my mother. It’s too bad. I hope I can find her one day—“
“Apollo.”
God, he needed to stop. It’s not his place to be doing this. He doesn’t need to be a hero right now.
“Your mother is Lamiroir.”
It’s quiet. It’s so quiet that Klavier can hear the silence. And it’s screaming at him that he should not have done that.
“What do you mean?” Apollo’s voice broke through the phone speaker again. “Klav, that’s not funny.”
Another beat of silence. More silent screams of shame and guilt.
“Please don’t get quiet after saying that, what do you mean?!”
“The guitar. Your father’s guitar?”
“…Yeah?”
“I have what’s left of it.”
