Everything Wrong With: Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies
Episode One: Turnabout Countdown
Warning: the following fic spoils the events of Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies in gross amounts of detail. Other games, such as Ace Attorney Investigations: Prosecutors Path and Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney are also constantly referenced. All games in this series are mentioned at least once. In other words? Spoilers... duh
"Running! Explosions! Demolition of state property!" *ding
"Narration" *ding
"Anime episodes in the middle of a video game." *ding
(Athena falls down stairs) "I did that once. That's a couple of broken bones, possible broken neck, certain unconsciousness then and there and... Woah. Gregory Edgeworth's a bailiff?" *ding
"This bracelet was placed over Apollo's bandages. The next tense person to walk by will further break his wrist, and it will be his own fault." *ding
"Murder mystery game tells us who the culprit is cliche." *ding
(Juniper gives Athena an orange) "Last I checked, food was not allowed in the Detention Center. This gesture might be sweet, but Miss Woods would have had to hide that orange from the police. This is a really stupid reason to break the law." *ding
(Apollo falls down) "Casual unconsciousness in the defendant lobby. Again. Did that need to be a tradition? I don't think that needed to be a tradition." *ding
"Judge has not aged since the first game. He also doesn't have a name. At this point, I think he's an android. Calling the theory now." *ding
"Gaspen Payne's hair." *ding
"Gaspen Payne's name." *ding
(Athena insulting Payne) "M-rated game refused to let an 18 year old use swearwords." *ding
"Athena's superpower includes emojis, mental imaging, and reading her own mind." *ding
(She breaks down) "Hero suffers from unknown past tragedy cliche." *ding
"Athena had to submit a petition to take over the case. Phoenix just walks in and shouts Objection because... Phoenix Wright." *ding
"Also, how long was he waiting out there? Did he just have an ear to the door, waiting to make his dramatic entrance? Was it coincidence? Either way, I'm sinning it." *ding
"This witness." *three sins
"Ted Tonate. Gee, I wonder what his crime is..." *ding
"A bomb that was supposedly disarmed goes off in a courtroom full of people. You think the bomb specialist did it? Nah, dude. It was totally the high school student!" *ding
"Ted Tonate wants to speak like a robot. Because this game doesn't get enough robot interaction later, and needs more mechanical bullshit." *ding
"He got this bomb inside court. The day after a bombing. Is it any wonder this place got blown up the first time?" *ding
"This stuffed animal nonsense seems okay now, but we later learn it was from the case at the Space Center. So... why was the bomb put in a stuffed animal for that case? Did the police actually recover it inside Phony Phanty?" *ding
"Also, Phony Phanty." *ding
(Ad campaign poster) "M-rated game makes jokes about swearwords, but only ever allows one of their characters to swear. That IS trunked up." *ding
"Those goggles are cool and all, but... Where are his eyes?" *ding
"Apollo is hit on the head with a rock. And already heavily injured. Yeah... That guy is dead." *ding
"I-identified-my-attacker-with-my-blood cliche." *ding
"After five games and three spinoffs of killers abusing the above cliche, the culprit still thinks this is a viable way to cast suspicion on the defendant. Step up your game, murderers!" *ding
"Oh no. It's a bomb scare. With a bomb we watch you literally take apart, put back together, and chew on the wires of throughout the whole trial. The question isn't why anyone would stay and face you, the question is why anyone would flee." *ding
"Payne didn't come back to see his own defeat. Some stay he's still running." *ding
"Apollo has been caught in an explosion, physically assaulted, and fallen unconscious in the courthouse twice. And you people wonder why he wants a leave of absence? Let the man recover, goddammit! It only takes one day in this series!" *ding
Total Sin count: 33
Sentence: Getting Trunked Up
A/N's: A/N's: So first I posted this on the kink meme, then I edited it and posted on ao3, then I realized I wouldn't be doing much writing (aside from ERB:AA) for a while, and decided to move it over here so you people would have something to look forward to. This fic was written purely for fun and does its best to not reflect my personal opinion of DD (though Turnabout for Tomorrow is my favorite case yet, so I kinda failed on that one).
Also, in shameless self promotion, I would like to direct everyone's attention to my upcoming project: AAI3. I may call it mine right now, but I want it to belong to the fandom, and give everyone a chance to submit their ideas. That can be done here (remove the word dot, put in the real symbol, and remove the spaces before trying to use the URL): docs. google document/d/1VV_80EEXnlI_lThRrDV0allRDHzeyHRRA49AJH7eR48/edit?usp=sharing
Sorry, that's the only way will let me share the link. A few people have already come in and contributed, but I want as many ideas as possible, regardless of what it is. Thanks in advance for your help, and I'll see you on the far side!
UPDATE: Since this was my first sin fic, reading it over today has left me thinking it's a bit cringey. I no longer agreed with some of the sins I gave this game, so I changed each chapter slightly. Re-uploads and changes in sin totals will be going on in the month of March 2019.
