This is so silly I might just have to write it. We'll see if I find the time for it.
Working Title: The Luckless Turnabout
Fandom: Phoenix Wright/Ace Attorney
Genre Tags: Humour/Mystery
Length: Multichapter
Protagonist: Phoenix, naturally.
Other Main Characters: Maggey and Larry as the defendants. Maya and Gumshoe as the, er, helpers.
Antagonist: Winston Payne, Miles Edgeworth, and lastly Franziska von Karma are the prosecuting attorneys. And then there's whoever actually committed the murders.
Setting: Typical PW:AA Japanifornia. One crime scene is at a decently nice steakhouse, another is at Exposé Park (I think that's the name?), and the third is at a patch of woods near Gourd Lake.
Plot: The two unluckiest characters of the game (i.e. Larry and Maggey) go on one date. After a long series of mishaps with their meal, they start to head home only to be caught in a freak accident that hospitalises them both with not-terribly-dire injuries. When they wake up, they are informed that there is strong evidence suggesting that both of them were responsible for a murder at the restaurant that night, as well as two other murders at the same day in different locations. Phoenix finds himself taking their cases and has to do a fair amount of legwork to stay on top of things. Gumshoe is doing his best to help Maggey out but is unconvinced that Larry isn't the killer (named Harry) the detective still thinks he is. Additionally, Gumshoe is trying to break up the somewhat-not-really budding relationship, while Larry finds himself romantically torn between Maggey and Franziska.
Point of View: First person (Phoenix).
Gumshoeee you fool, don't let your crush get in the way of your duty! XD And Larry/Fransizka, hm? Sounds like Phoenix will really be the only sane man here ... not that that's anything new, though.
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough, I got mixed up between "defendants" and "defense attorneys" and thought that Larry and Maggey were going to be defense attorneys. From there I assumed they were going to defend Phoenix in court. That'd be crazy, wouldn't it? XD
Well, it happens in canon, so... :P

They've cross-examined parrots and deceased people. It could happen.
