Emptying some of my drafts/fanfic ideas for the two Badd enjoyers out there 🫡🫡🫡

Thanks to @kugamoogle I finally have a reason to post this crap lmao (sorry, if you don't want to be tagged)

~~~~~~~~~~~

Badd: (It's already so late. Almost no one is left in the precinct. I guess I should head out home....)

*phone rings*

Badd: (Oh.. Prosecutor Faraday... Why is he calling me at this late of an hour?)

Badd: Good evening, Prosecutor Faraday..... Is any....

Faraday: Tyrell..

Badd: !

Faraday: I need your presence.

Badd: What happened? Where are you? Should i bring the others from the precinct with me? (He never calls me by my name without a reason..)

Faraday: Something very important, Dye Young Hospital. No.

Badd: Are you hurt? I'll get there as fast as I can!

Faraday: No...Thank you.

~~~~~~Dye Young Hospital~~~~~~

Badd: Faraday, is everything okay?

Faraday: *turns around with a baby in his arms* Shhh! You'll wake her up.

Badd:......? This......... Is...?

Faraday: My daughter, of course. Want to hold her?

Badd: !... Byrne, you can't be serious..!

Faraday: Geez, such a big guy afraid of such a small girl? *gives Kay to Badd*

Badd: *very stiffly holds her. Freezes immediately. Afraid to hurt her* ...!

Faraday: *suddenly takes the photo* Ha, you should've seen your face! The detective with the heart of steel is finally flustered! I've stolen this moment from you.

Badd: Byrne!..... You....!! *Kay yawns* ......what is her name?

Faraday: Her name is Kay. Don't be so scared.. Be more relaxed.

Badd: .......Hi Kay...... Here's your dad *shows Faraday*.... I'm your dad's friend.

Faraday: It's your Uncle Badd!

Badd: ..! *very flustered. Suddenly Kay opens her sleepy eyes and takes Badd's lollipop* ...!

Faraday: Oh, Kay! Stealing is bad!

Badd: ......should I take a little thief to the precinct?

Faraday: Should I take your paycheck to my office?

They both laugh.

~~~~~~~~~~~

*Faraday shows his prosecutor's badge*

Kay: I wanna be a detective when I grow up! Like Uncle Badd! To be the hero of justice!

Faraday: ...!

Badd: ......you'll make a great detective....... You have a talent........ For finding things...

Faraday: (I could never hide any candies from her...)

Badd: But it's a very dangerous job..... Some of the bad people..... Will have to make an acquaintance to your kick...

Kay: Or I wanna be a prosecutor like Daddy! The true hero of justice that puts bad people in jail!!

Faraday: (suddenly I feel a tear in my eye...)

Badd: That take money form their subordinates' salary....

Faraday: I think your pay check has been oh too stable these past few months!

Kay: I'll never do something like that!

Badd: ......then I look forward to working with you, Ms Prosecutor Faraday.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Just to clarify, this next part has nothing to do with my other no dl 6 au lmao. Some parts of this au (mainly Badd getting shot) is tied to my other hcs I've posted before.

~~~~~~~~~~~ (no dl 6 au) ~~~~~~~~~~~

Eddie/Ray: Mr. Edgeworth, is it true that Detective Badd has been shot?

Gregory: That's what I heard from the people in the precinct. They sounded serious, so I came to check up on him.

Ray: I'm not sure they'll let us in, since we aren't a family, but worth the try!

(They go in the hospital)

Gregory: (now, we need to find a reception or a nurse...... Hm? What's all that noise?)

???: I need to continue the investigation..... They've stolen the video tape, I need to find it, Byrne..

Ray: Detective Badd!

Gregory: Yes, it's him! But who is he arguing with?

????: What you need is to stop being stubborn and take a break.

Ray: Hm? Is he trying to leave the hospital already?

Gregory: But it's been one day since he got shot! It's dangerous to leave! We need to talk him out of it.. Ahem.. Detective Badd!

Badd: ..! Attorney Edgeworth, Assistant Shields? What are you doing here? And what are these tulips doing in your hands, Edgeworth?

Gregory: These are for you, Detective. My sincerest hopes for your speedy recovery.

Badd: ..! Thank you.

* (Long time no see) *

(The incident)

(The mysterious man)

Gregory: It is a pleasure to meet you once again, Detective. Though, I would've loved to meet you in good health more.

Badd: Same here..... Was IS-7 incident ever solved?

Ray: Sadly, Master was convincted on being an accomplice. He confessed to it.

Badd: What?? But the recording..

Gregory: It was of help, Detective. Yet von Karma got away with only a penalty.

Badd: .... My condolences...

Ray: Do not worry. All this time we were working hard on getting a retrial. A lot has changed since then and I'm an official attorney now! I won't ever rest until they find Mr Master innocent!

Badd: You've already passed the bar exam....? I believe the truth won't escape you, Attorney Shields.

Ray: He he heh. I'm so happy! Detective Badd actually praised me!

????: the IS-7 incident.... That's where I heard about them...

* (The incident) *

(The mysterious man)

Gregory: May I ask you about what happened to you?

????: Mr Attorney, he's been through a lot recently. Don't make him recall such terrible memories so soon!

Gregory: (True... It's been tactless from me...) I apologize.

Badd: It's okay, Byrne... A few days ago, I was walking home after the day at the precinct.. On my walk I was ambushed by three men, each carrying the gun. I tried to escape and called the first person in my phone. Yet they got me. They cornered me and then shot two times in the abdomen. After that I don't remember anything, but a green flame.

Gregory: (he says he's fine, but I can see he's shaken by the whole ordeal...)

Ray: Green flame?

Badd: Then I woke up at this hospital.. They stopped the blood, so I headed straight to the courthouse.

Ray: Courthouse?? Without operation?

Badd: Hmph, it's no big deal. That sort of thing happens all the time. I even had full intentions of continuing the investigation.

Ray: But! But that would've been too much!

Gregory: (You don't have to act all tough in front of us, you know?)

Badd: But right after the trial I was dragged here by THAT prosecutor.

????: It was the only logical course of action given the bullets were still lodged in you AND you started bleeding out right in the hallway.

Gregory: And now? Did you have your operation??!

Badd: ... Yes... I'm all good now.

????: Big talk from someone who woke up only a few hours ago!

Gregory: (Just who is this man? It takes a lot of courage to speak to Badd that way....)

* (The mysterious man) *

Gregory: Good morning, mister. I'm Attorney Gregory Edgeworth. This is Attorney Raymond Shields.

Ray: How do you do?

Gregory: And you are...?

Faraday: Prosecutor Byrne Faraday. Nice to meet you, Mr Edgeworth, Mr Shields.

Badd: This man is a prosecutor in charge of the case we're solving right now, and my close friend.

Ray: Enchanté, as they say... Have you heard of us?

Gregory: (Raymond seems very cold all of a sudden.. Probably, he thinks Prosecutor Faraday is like von Karma. Ever since that incident he dislikes prosecutors a lot..)

Faraday: Yes. Tyrell talked a lot about you and the IS-7 incident back in the day. My condolences. I had no idea Prosecutor von Karma would stoop so low to get his guilty verdict.

Ray: Why would it surprise you, Prosecutor? Are you surprised he got caught doing what you all do?

Faraday: ...! I have no idea what are you suggesting!

Gregory: I'm sorry, Prosecutor Faraday. Please forgive his rudeness. That incident left a big impression on him..

Faraday: ..... It's nothing, I suppose. But I would like Mr Shields to stop judging book by it's cover. Not all prosecutors are like this.

Faraday: Back to the matter at hand. Badd, I am not letting you investigate until you have rested enough.

Badd: ...! I've told you countless times, Faraday...

Faraday: If you try to leave this hospital, I'll take you off the case!

Gregory: (..! He seems desperate.. He must've grown weary of this pointless argument.. But despite the harshness of Prosecutor Faraday's words, it seems he really cares..)

Badd: That never stopped me before.!

Faraday: A foot out of this building, and you won't be able to afford a taxi to the courthouse!

"Study Buddy" (Ace Attorney, Maya Fey/Kay Faraday, 810 words)

Femslash February prompt for 2/18: College AU

Disclaimer: I don't know anything about law degrees.

This one new student at Daigaku-Stanford strikes Maya as being really weird.

She's definitely in the law program, like she is. But she makes a spectacle of herself all the time, as badly as some of the freshman frat guys. Even at the law library, which tends to be on the quieter side, the new girl occasionally declares herself "about to steal the truth" and sprints off with a folio full of cases from a random decade of history.

It makes Maya smile when it happens. The girl reminds her a lot of Nick, with all that silly energy, except she's much cuter.

It's not until winter classes start that they share a class together.

Maya has been dreading this International Business course. She's been trucking through the tedium of law classes alright, for the most part, but something about the combination of transactional law and multiple systems of justice sounds like it's going to wring every last drop of focus from her.

Not for the first time, she's tempted to look into energy drinks, even with Mia's miserable experience of them rattling around in her head.

Maya drags herself into the classroom. The other handful of students are there already, polished and ready to go, always making Maya feel a little awkward with the topknot and magatama she refuses to relinquish. She hurries into a seat, getting the lay of the land, glad she isn't late… if just. Their teacher is writing something out on the whiteboard.

The weird girl is there, sitting in the desk next to her, and she's staring a hole in the instructor's back, frowning with her chin slightly tucked into the patterned scarf she's always wearing.

Maya glances forward. The other students, all second-years in the program, are jabbering at each other loudly enough that she shouldn't attract much attention.

"You okay?" Maya asks, under her breath.

"Just don't like this guy," says the weird girl.

"Why? Is something wrong with…" Maya glances at her schedule, checking the name. "Mr. Portsman?"

The weird girl spares her a glance. "I dunno if I should say… But I know about him from a case he prosecuted once. I don't really trust him."

"Huh. Did he get to the truth?"

"No." The girl looks annoyed. "No, and I don't think he even tried. They put a really unlucky woman away for a year because of him. People like him give prosecutors a bad name."

Maya raises her eyebrows. "You're studying to become a prosecutor, then?"

This breaks the weird girl's concentration, and she looks her way for the first time. "Sorry, that was really rude of me. I'm Kay Faraday, first-year JD student, future prosecutor, and the Great Thief Yatagarasu," she says in a somewhat cheerful tone.

"Great thief?" Maya thinks over some of the stuff she's overheard from this girl. "A great thief that… steals the truth?"

Kay pumps an arm in delight. "You get it! You actually get it! What's your name?"

Maya grins. "Maya Fey, third-year JD student and future defense attorney, and, uh, spirit medium on the side." She thinks about Nick, who saved her with his defense, and Mia, who always believed she could be whatever she wanted, rather than only what Kurain Village wanted for her. "I want to uncover the truth, too. Need a study partner for this class?"

"Are you kidding? I could use a study partner for everything. But more importantly, will you join my band of thieves?"

"You have a band of thieves?" Maya's jaw drops.

"Not yet! You'd be the first - we'd be a duo of thieves, seeking justice!" Kay winks at her.

Maya giggles. "Uh… Just as long as it's the truth we're stealing. Sure."

"Awesome. Spirit medium! That'll be a huge help to the eventual team!" Kay grins, then turns to look at Mr. Portsman. Her grin sharpens. "Maybe we'll make him our first target."

"Wait, what?"

Kay lowers her voice to just above a whisper. "I'm hoping to use this class as an excuse to look into him and see if there's any way to get Ms. Byrde a re-trial."

"You're… nuts," Maya says, but she absolutely loves it. "Um. I don't know anything about stealing, but I can definitely be a pretty good distraction."

"Well, I already knew that," Kay says, which sounds like flirting. That's how Maya realizes she's being flirted with.

Oh. Well - well, that's fine.

Mr. Portsman, with a flashy twirl and a too-bright smile, calls for the class to settle down. Students slide into their seats, curtailing their conversation. Kay and Maya trade a look.

Maya whispers, "Got a plan?"

"Observation, today. Tomorrow, who knows?"

Determined, Maya nods. They can talk more later.

They can talk a lot, a lot more later. Maya bites her lip to contain her smile, and tries to listen as the lecture begins.

Meeting Detective Ema Skye (Alexia AU)

“Well, let’s see what we can find here,” Apollo murmurs.

Trucy looks around, as if she’s searching for something or someone, a detail the rookie attorney doesn’t miss.

“Is something wrong, Truce?”

She turns to look at him. “Oh, it’s nothing. It just seemed strange to me that we were able to get in here so easily. Normally, someone is watching to make sure unauthorized people don’t enter.”

Before Apollo can say anything, someone interrupts him.

“Hey! Stop right there!” a woman calls out.

When they both turn to see where the voice came from, they spot a brunette woman running toward them.

She stops in front of the two young people, “Phew… I made it in time…”

Now that they have her in front of them, they can see her much better. The woman has long brown hair with a bow, two strands over her shoulder, and bangs in the front. Her irises are a grayish sapphire color. She’s wearing a pink shirt, a green vest with gold buttons, a white coat reaching below her knees, brown capri pants, black high heels, and a red tie.

Trucy nods to herself, “I thought it was strange not to see anyone watching over this place.”

“Uh… who are you?” Apollo asks.

The woman seems to catch her breath. “I’m the detective in charge of this place. My name is Ema Skye.”

“Ema… Skye…?” Trucy murmurs thoughtfully, before something seems to click. “Oh! You’re Miss Skye!?”

‘Ema’ looks at her with curiosity, “Do we know each other?”

“What?!” The girl looks at her, annoyed. “How can you not know me?!”

Apollo looks at her, intrigued. “Truce, do you know her?”

“Well, yes! She was Alexia’s assistant when she defended Ms. Lana Skye.”

This response makes the woman’s bored expression brighten a bit, “You know Alexia Wright?”

Apollo answers, “Um… She’s Trucy’s older sister, and she’s also my senior colleague at the Wright & Co. Law Offices.”

“What?! Alexia Wright has another sister?!”

“You seem surprised. I bet she hasn’t said anything about me, has she?” Ema shakes her head, “I thought so… I’ll have a good talk with her later…”

“W-well, if you’re Alexia’s little sister and you her junior colleague… then I’m available to help you in any way I can!”

Trucy smiles. “Great.”

“Oh, uh, thanks,” Apollo murmurs, relieved. “Could you tell us a bit about the case?”

“Sure, what would you like to know?”

Apollo thinks for a few seconds, “I already know the main details of the case thanks to Detective Faraday…” before asking, “So, why don’t you tell me something about who’s handling this case?”

Ema smiles. “You mean the prosecutor?” she turns, pointing off into the distance. “That’s her. Prosecutor Athena Edgeworth.”

“Edgeworth, huh?” the attorney murmurs, “That’s quite a name around here.”

As soon as Trucy hears the prosecutor’s name, she turns her gaze toward where the detective pointed, indeed seeing a girl with long orange hair tied in a ponytail and wearing yellow clothing. There’s a visible boredom on her face as a police officer reports on the investigation.

The prosecutor senses someone watching her, so she turns toward the direction from where the gaze came, and the two girls lock eyes. The legal assistant in blue waves toward her. Athena returns the greeting with the same gesture, though more calmly, as a small smile forms on her lips. After a few seconds, she turns her attention back to the officer, once again with a look of total boredom.

Trucy chuckles a bit nervously, “(It must not be such an interesting case if someone like her is acting like that.)”

But, well, she couldn’t get distracted by her friend right now; she needed to pay attention to everything the detective was telling them.

“(Here comes Justice, served in the Wright way!)”

[plaid-maniac]

I doubt I will ever be able to touch on the yatagarasu stuff in my mega alternate dl-6 au fic thing but this is basically how it would originally go down.

Calisto Yew: “This sort of injustice could have been stopped if only someone had been able to break the laws and gotten the evidence.”

Byrne Faraday: “Yeah this whole situation sucks.”

Tyrell Badd: “If only I could have done something more. I’m sorry I let you two down.”

Yew: “We need to form a group to prevent this from happening ever again!”

Badd: “…Go on.”

Yew: “So what if we work together to steal evidence to give to the police so that they can arrest the right criminals. Then killers won’t walk away again.”

Badd: “This is extremely illegal and also a horrible plan.”

Faraday: “No, I think this is a great plan. And since we would have a detective and a prosecutor working together, we just need to find a defense attorney to like balance the team out, like, morally or something.”

Yew: “I’m actually studying to-“

Faraday: “Hey Edgeworth!”

Gregory Edgeworth looks up mid-bite of his Swiss roll, very confused.

Faraday: “Wanna join this group me and Badd are making?”

Edgeworth: “…Depends I guess. What are you wanting to do.”

Faraday: “Ok so the premise is we steal-“

Edgeworth: “I’m in.”

Badd: “…He hasn’t finished explaining.”

Edgeworth, Already pulling out his car keys: “I said I’m in. Wanna go to my office and get a game plan rolling?”

Faraday: “Hell yeah.”

Badd: “… I wonder if I should be arresting you right now.”

Faraday, hoping into the shotgun of Edgeworth’s 2004 Honda Accord: “Just get in, we’ll get you some toffee from that expensive chocolate shop.”

Yew: “But what about-“

Badd, hopping in the back seat: “Bye Miss Yew. Sorry about your sister.”

[drrba]

faraday's looks inspired by her investigations friends

[crowfaraday]

baby miles and kay are also arguing ive made like 34092384098 of these emotes i will never stop

[pterodactylartistry-moved]

WELCOME to my fucking prosecutor au. more to come soon

[soppsop]

sleepy incoherent ramblings about a hypothetical investigations 3 under cut (no cool ideas btw don't get excited)

if they made an investigations 3 do you guys think courtney shields and sebastian would still be relevant characters? 🤔 what would investigations 3 be about actually... bc edgeworth already found his path as a prosecutor. maybe it's about kay and sebastian. dude imagine an investigations game but sebastian is the protagonist lol i don't think he'd survive if he got a rival like lang

i'm having fun thinking about this now... who could be seb's rival? .......is hugh o'connor available for this at this point in time?probably not, i can't remember the timeline but it'd be pretty funny to have hugh there. ill just break the time continuum its ok.

ooo what if in I3 they're working on a case but then edgeworth is unable to continue for whatever reason and then prosecutor debeste and (unofficial) detective kay have to find the truth on their own!!! that would be fun

or maybe this game happens after the 7y gap and then it'd be the investigations equivalent to apollo justice with playing as the succesor! and we can put the turnabout academy people without breaking the time continuum and we get to see what happened after sebastians off screen development AND the turnabout academy people's off screen development. thats pretty cool

is this the start of my new au?! am i having imagination for the first time ever?!? we'll find out some other time because i'm sleepy and i have school tomorrow! can't wait to see this tomorrow and be like ????what did i write at 1am this sucks

alternatively: just make a game about kay. kay faraday investigations. ace great thief.

this got pretty long oops i'll go add a cut

AAI2 IS SO GOOD AAAAAAAAAA¡!!!!!

how did i even live before this game..... like what kind of media did i consider a masterpiece before this because i don't remember and i don't think there's anything better than this game actually

unless...... ace attorney investigations 3?!?!?

it would be pretty cool to have an investigations trilogy actually.....

i should be doing homework rn (or sleeping really) how do i turn of the aai2 part of my brain

[misiahasahardname]

au where miles adopts kay and sebastian (who are babies) during his one year break and becomes a certified family man.

pros to this au:

dadworth content

alternate edgeworth character arc

that's kinda it

cons to this au:

none

there is no point to this au, i just think it would be fun—

(i tried to make a fanfic about this au but i failed because i'm bad at writing)

[abluescarfonwaston]

When Edgeworth first takes Kay in he has Zero domestic skills (and was fine with that. He was Happy to throw money at that problem until it went away.) But then she comments how the school lunches kinda suck and he's like '! Father used to make me lunches! An opportunity to be a good guardian!' and sets about making one.

It's awful. He looked up all those japanese mother's who make adorable bento boxes with bunnies and octopuses and he tests it and Blegh. Gross. Terrible. Disgusting.

He gives her the lunchbox the chef made for him and goes out to eat instead.

Then- much like the paper cranes- he gets Pissed. GUMSHOE MAKES LUNCHBOXES HE WILL MASTER THIS SKILL. HE'S AN EDGEWORTH DAMNIT.

Kay spends the next two weeks terrified of the kitchen and the War going on in there.

Then, come Monday, he presents her (while Covered in baking supplies) with the cutest tastiest lunch box she's ever had. She'd just been angling for lunchables! Mr. Edgeworth!

He packs her lunches every night. It is the Only thing he can reliably cook (Do NOT try to have him cook dinner. Breakfast is premade things or store bought sugar.) She buys him a pink frilly apron as a thank you.

He wears it every time.
