2025 Klapollo Minibang

This is my pinch hit piece for @thegayprosecutors's amazing fanfic, which you can read here, as part of the Klapollo Minibang 2025. Thank you for letting me draw for you <3 I love these nerds <333333333333333

Turnabout Valentine's Day

Apollo Justice isn't a big fan of Valentine's Day. Too much cheesy romance, too many sappy couples everywhere he goes. He plans on spending the evening at the office instead, catching up on work to avoid being bombarded by everything the most romantic day of the year has to offer. He'll pass on all of that. But when Trucy invites none other than Klavier Gavin to the office under the pretense of him joining their Valentine's Day party, she works her typical Trucy magic and convinces Apollo's rival prosecutor to take him to a carnival being held out on the pier. An idyllic carnival, right by the ocean, on the day of love. Apollo shouldn't have expected anything less from her. He just has to get through this totally not romantic evening with Klavier unscathed, and then he can go back to work like nothing ever happened. Easy, right?

Ta da! I finally posted my fic on ao3 for the @klapollo-minibang 2025!

Love and food are two of my favourite things to write about; love through food, though? mamma mia

For the @klapollo-minibang 2025 :O

First minibang ever and first fully colored Ace Attorney fanart! I made 2 pieces for this fic because why not. ^ ̮ ^ I hope everyone enjoys reading it and all the other fics and artworks made by the others that participated in the minibang! :)

The rest of the post is just some of my thoughts/processes of the pieces.

Let's go..... @klapollo-minibang again!!!!

Have you ever wanted to read about Klavier being a charming superhero and Apollo being a tired journalist intern? Well now...you can!

Introducing, my fic...Mr. Prince Charming!

Klavier Gavin is a music theory student at Ivy U University, and he wants to make a difference in this world. After gaining superpowers from a butterfly bite—do butterflies even bite?!—he gets his opportunity to make an impact on the world. Debuting as the superhero Prince Charming, Klavier has to balance university responsibilities, his superhero life, and his strained relationship with his brother. Apollo Justice is a journalist student at Ivy U University, and he’s extremely done with this supervillain and superhero stuff. However, when his boss at Wright News Incorporated assigns him to write stories about the new superhero, Prince Charming, he is thrown in dangerous situations that somehow always involve him being saved by the dashing superhero. But something about the superhero is familiar, and he can’t place why. However, the crimes start to look less like unrelated crimes but instead something darker and more sinister. As the two unfold a grand conspiracy, Klavier realizes that things may be closer to him than he could’ve ever imagined…

I had fun illustrating for this fic! Be sure to go check it out here:

SPECIAL AWESOME THANK YOU to my AMAZINGLY TALENTED ARTIST @chrysopeony who drew all the art for this fic that I have already printed out and eaten (sorry). Please give their art some love here!

I took the silly concept I came up with way more seriously than you'd think, but I wrote a magical girl aa4 au :] klavier is a magical girl, Apollo doesn't want to be one, Phoenix is plotting in the background, trying to get Apollo to be one. It's not directly an au of it, but there is heavy inspiration from Madoka Magica in here too :]

ALSO you should go check out the awesome artwork done by my partner, @hopetatic :D she made really really really awesome magical girl designs they are so lovely. Go check out her art

Pretty Please Mr.Wright I Don't Want To Be A Magical Girl!

Relationship(s): Klapollo, Apollo & Trucy Word Count: 76.8k across 4 chapters Summary: After his best friend dies in a tragic workplace accident, Apollo is desperate for an escape. He takes a sabbatical from his law job, packs up his apartment, and moves to his foster father’s old abandoned farm in Stardew Valley. What he’s looking for is a change of scenery, a project he can sink his teeth into to distract himself from the suffocating weight of Clay’s loss. What he finds is Trucy Wright, his teenage neighbour hellbent on inserting herself into his life, and Klavier Gavin, a famous musician who knows exactly what it’s like to want to hide from your problems. Apollo doesn’t need friends and he certainly doesn’t need a boyfriend. If he doesn’t let anyone get close, then he won’t get hurt again when they inevitably leave him behind. Besides, he only intends to stay on the farm for a couple of seasons anyway. Why allow himself to get attached to people he’s only going to lose? Why fall for Klavier when he’s only going to break his heart? However, as Apollo will soon learn, time really does heal all wounds, and love has a way of taking root whether you want it to or not. (Stardew Valley AU. Written for the @klapollo-minibang 2025.)
