Summary
It starts with Ema inviting Apollo to get drinks after the events of Turnabout Serenade and they strike up a friendship. It turns out to be just the thing Apollo needs.
A series of hang-outs set during the Apollo Justice and Dual Destinies games. Written because I think Apollo deserves friends who are ALIVE.
Disclaimer that I've played through AA4 and AA5 twice and I still might get some details/timelines wrong, but it's an AU so who cares I guess.Bookmarked by distractedbird

Summary
“What’s even up there? All the interesting stuff is down here.”
“There are stars!” And Isa sounds so, so excited to answer with that.
“So?”
This conversation tastes sugar-smoke familiar, but you can’t criticize it. The ache-urge in your chest colored that visceral shade you remember from the copper-caramel taste in your mouth always tries to get you to feel anger, rage, a surefire determination to fix what has gone forgotten, but that’s the shade that drove the King mad, and you don’t want to be some kind of ghost of him—it would be too easy. He reflects you, in your worst moments, but you aren’t allowed to carry glass anymore, so you aren’t allowed to carry him, either.
(Weeks after the end of everything, the party finds an abandoned observatory.)

Summary
"Could you even call it yearning if the thing you were yearning for was the feeling of yearning itself? It was a vicious thing to want to want. It burned like a hot spark. Mira longed to take that bright thing under her tongue and make it part of herself."
After defeating the King, the saviors arrive in Bambouche to bring Bonnie home—and meet the mysterious "Nille." Nille is nothing like what Mirabelle expected. Mirabelle is exactly what Nille expected. And therein lies the problem.
(A slow-burn enemies-to-queer-platonic-besties slice-of-life angst fic with a lot of heart!)

Bookmarker's Notes
This fic is very important to me in ways I do not know if I could explain coherently.
