You cannot convince me that after princess peach gets kidnapped for the 12th time she isn’t at the very least gossiping with one of the prison guards.

It’s Fic Back Friday!!! I haven’t done one of these for months, so you’re going to get more today, which is why the first recommendation is a whole series - The Family Turnabout by Spiderlass, a 10-story AU of Ace Attorney, starting with a rewrite of the first game where Phoenix ends up adopting Trucy early and this changes everything. The series is an absolutely fantastic read, because all the characters are on point -especially Nick’s inner dialogue - and all the AU elements work so well!!! I don’t want to spoil too much, but Apollo and Klavier show up early and Apollo and Trucy find out they’re siblings pretty early one. The main pairing is Wrightworth, but there is also Franmaya and Klavipollo, and the series is full of a lot of heartwarming family moments...but also a lot of heartbreaking ones as well, so I really recommend going through the series when you have some time - the main stories are all very long multi-chaps, but it is absolutely worth it!!!!

The second is Fortitude by Ingie, a Zelink story set fifteen years after Ocarina of Time (Child Timeline), where Zelda and Link are married, but due to Link’s status as a commoner - because, as wielding the Master Sword again would break the seal keeping Ganondorf locked away, no one knows he’s the Hero of Time - it is extrmely controversal. Things only get worse when the new King of another Kingdom - and Zelda’s former fiance before she discovered his true nature - starts making threats. Again it is a very well written fic, mostly from Zelda’s POV, and plenty of drama, romance, and plot twists.

The third is To Baby Drake by @ignorantarmiesclashbynight, a (mostly) angsty post UC4 fic about Sam dealing with the fact that he’s about to become an uncle, and all the complicated feelings that brings up for him. The author always writes the Uncharted crew so well, and they especially really get Sam and his issues and insecurities he has surrounding his family, so go check out their other works as well!!!!!!

The fourth is Misery Loves Company by @kaletra7, another post UC4 fic in Sam’s POV (because I love to read them even though I actually haven’t played Uncharted 4 at all) where he stays to look after a 3-months-pregnant Elena for two weeks while Nate and Sully go on a trip as part of Nate’s birthday present. It’s a heartwarming fic as the two of them bond and get to know each other, though Sam definitely has a lot of guilt for how things went down. It is also one of the funniest fics I’ve ever read.

And the fifth is A Change of Heart by ebtwisty9, a Bowser/Peach story that is 52 chapters and an absolutely fantastic read. The main plot kicks off when the Koopalings decide to kidnap Peach as a birthday present for their father taking advantage of the fact that Peach decides to try and get away from her stifling life at the palace for a week - she’s understandably not happy about this (neither’s Bowser because he didn’t actually ask for this) but ends up staying there and tries to make the best of it, with Bowser promising to return her at the end of the week, and she gets to know Bowser and the kids and realises that maybe they aren’t so bad. This was one I followed back in the day and I really loved it because it writes all the characters well - the story has multiple POVs, including the Mario Brothers and Daisy, and it was a really fun ride, because the stay at Bowser’s castle is just the start of things.
