    Summary

    “You’re waiting in vain,” said a bored voice from behind.

    “Excuse me?” Mista turned to see who was addressing him. A few paces away, half hidden in the shadows, a teen was leaning against a minivan. His hair was funny — a messy outgrown bob with a texture that couldn’t decide whether it was straight or wavy, some strands blond, some ink-black. The way he was looking at him, though, was dead serious.

    “They’re not showing A Fistful of Dollars anymore,” explained the teen. “They change the schedule every other week. So if you’re waiting for someone to speak ill of Clint Eastwood, you’re out of luck. Unless you feel just as strongly about Cary Grant.”

    Nine months before the events of Vento Aureo, Giorno and Mista run into each other outside the cinema and immediately hit it off.

    Summary

    "Our plan was to use Sae's palace," Akira says. "We'd pull you into the Metaverse and let you kill her cognition of me in the interrogation room."

    Was. It's useless now that Akechi knows, but Akira smiles as he speaks. He's cornered himself, mate in one, but it won't be the first time he's died. At worst he'll restart his probation again, back in April.

    At best, they'll move to step two of his real plan, tearing apart Shido's conspiracy one crooked heart at a time until Akechi is as free as his past allows and resoundingly not dead. It'd be easy to resent the world for demanding Akira save it, but at least it's had the decency to let him save his friends along the way. All of them, even the one who only makes the job harder.

    Summary

    Trucy is leaving on a post-graduation trip around the world, leaving Phoenix more alone than he’s been in a long time. Before she leaves, Trucy asks her Uncle Miles to keep her father company while she’s gone. And Edgeworth takes his job very seriously.
    Meanwhile, Ray Shields reminisces on Miles’ growth over the many years they’ve known each other.
    On the other side of the world, Apollo and Nahyuta will be working with some new, but very familiar prosecutors in Khura’in.

    Parts of this fic are very dialogue-heavy, and use Ace Attorney game style text boxes in place of dialogue. Because of this, AO3's word count is not accurate. FINAL word count: 422,600

    Summary

    Harry doesn’t mind that so many Slytherins from his year have returned to finish their NEWTs, really he doesn’t. It’s just – do they have to be so friendly? He’s not prejudiced, really he’s not. It’s just – they’ve got to be up to something, right? Unnerved by the attention he’s attracting from everyone – the Slytherins are the least of it, to be fair – and struggling with a raft of changes to Hogwarts itself, Harry wishes he could be happy that one constant remains: Draco Malfoy really fucking hates him.

    When he’s hit by an illegal love-spell though, Harry finds he has more to worry about than whether or not Blaise Zabini actually wants to be his friend. For if everyone affected has been blessed – or cursed, by the look on Malfoy’s face – with a magical tattoo revealing the name of their soulmate, what does it mean that Harry’s skin remains completely bare?
