Secret Handshake

Finally, it's part two!

Argh, sorry for my slowness with this; I've been having health problems.

Title: Moment to Moment, Part 2 (of 3) [part one is here]
Characters/Pairings: Apollo/Klavier
Word count: 3266
Rating: PG13
Warnings: References to murder, death; spoilers for Apollo Justice.
Summary: The captive Kristoph Gavin made his escape--then vanished. Months have passed. His disappearance has had quite an effect on the people he knows, but what will happen when he returns?
Notes: Set in the year following Turnabout Succession.

( It had been Phoenix who'd told him what had happened, back at the beginning of the year. )

Another selection of shorter stories from pw_contest, which I enjoy participating in. I don't even generally care for contests (since I'm not really that competitive), but it's very chill and friendly, and I would recommend joining for those who have any interest. And the word count limits get me to write things that are actually brief. It's amazing!

Two of these stories are loving brother stories, and the other one is about friendship. How predictable.

Title: Not Cloudy All Day
Rating: PG
Characters: Jake, Neil
Warnings: Mild spoilers for Rise from the Ashes, references to death.
Word count: 993

( The ranch was called the Prickly Pear. )


Title: A Sensible Imagination
Characters: Miles Edgeworth, Manfred von Karma
Rating: G

Word count: 299
Summary: Von Karma's rules are strict, but it is not Miles' intention to break them.

( The lecture droned on and on. )


Title: Every Thursday
Characters: Klavier, Kristoph
Rating: PG
Warnings: spoilers for AJ, especially cases 1 & 4
Word count: 994
Summary: There is one loyal brother in the Gavin family, and he has not yet given up the fight.
Notes: Set post-AJ, maybe as much as a year after the events in the last case? Written for the prompt "pet".

( Thursday was not his favorite day of the week, but Klavier made the best of it. )

Title: Guten Morgen
Fandom: Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney
Word count: 1,432
Characters: Klavier, Ema, Apollo
Rating: 13+
Warnings: Mentions of murder & violence, nothing explicit
Summary: Ema doesn't like Klavier. She has a very good reason.
Notes: Written for the Awesome Bingo I'm doing with plutokitty, for the prompt "adrenaline rush". Even though I love Klavier in canon, and I think he's portrayed as very much a nice guy, I also like the idea of the possibility that he is, in fact, more like his brother than he seems--he's just better at hiding it. Which makes Ema's reaction to him very different from the "girl is annoyed by boy she really secretly likes" thing that it's often portrayed as. (Not that I have any problem with Klavier/Ema, I just like the idea that she could be right to dislike him.) Also, I read something related to this on the kink meme once, so even though I can't entirely recall it and have no links, I should say that this was a bit inspired by that. (Ha ha, and you can also read this story as Ema being totally paranoid, which I also think is funny.)

( No one else thought twice about it, but Ema couldn't seem to forget. )
