I will never get over how the Ace Attorney games made Thalassa and Jove mirror Apollo and Klavier so much like. A Gramarye falling in love with a musician who plays guitar and gets into a fire related accident. Like imagine post AA6 Apollo being hesitant to start a relationship because Klavier reminds him so much of his dad and is afraid the same thing will happen to him AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IM UNWELL

zine interest check

so I had the idea of doing a free/troupe gramarye centric zine (because as we all know I am so normal about them) and I would love to know if anyone would be interested!!

(sorry about the number of fucking tags I just have a following the size of an atom and want this to get out to people)

WIP: First Meeting

AN: this is a rough draft of a scene from a much larger fic, but I thought it would be fun to share it. Enjoy!

A knock sounded at the door. 

“Go away,” she called, attempting to keep her voice level. She didn’t feel like talking with Zak or Valant, and she certainly didn’t want to see her father at the moment.

“Sorry,” a strange voice answered. “I uh…”

She stood and moved to the door, opening it just enough to peer through the crack. A young man she’d never seen before was standing in the hallway. 

“I’m really sorry, but I was clearing the stage,” he gestured to the box on the floor beside him. The box of her props. “and I was told this was the room these went to?”

She crossed her arms. “I left them on the stage for a reason.”

“Right, totally. I get that. Hate it when people move my stuff without asking too. But see, I was told to clear everything off the stage so…”

The nerve! She took a deep breath. Don’t get angry at the stage hand. In as level a voice she could manage, she said “I don’t want the props in my dressing room.”

“Absolutely. Makes perfect sense.” He winced, “I wasn’t trying to be sarcastic. But I uh…” he looked down at the box.

With a huff, Thalassa stepped into the hall and shut her door. “Follow me.”

She directed him to a portion of the backstage and left him still stumbling over apologies. She didn’t bother to knock as she entered her father’s office. 

He looked up with a flat expression, “Thalassa. What a surprise.”

“Why did you tell the stage hand to move my props?”

“The stage needs to be cleared.”

“I’m using them to rehearse this evening.”

“Really? I’d assumed you were done for the day.”

This couldn’t be good. “Why?”

“Well, given your recent performance, I’d assumed you’d stopped evening practice altogether.”

Thalassa clenched her fists. “I haven’t.”

“Good. You certainly need it.”

She left the office fuming, only to run into Valant. 

“Thalassa. I didn’t realize you were still here.”

“Of course I am,” she snapped. “I’m rehearsing this evening.”

“Ah, forgive my misstep.”

She paused to take a deep breath, “sorry. Will you and Zak be here this evening?”

Valant winced slightly. “I’m afraid not. This evening is to be the rehearsal time for the new guest performer.”

Lovely. That was certainly her father’s doing. “Have you met them yet?”

A grimace covered Valant’s face as he answered “indeed.”

“What are they like?”

“Best not to spoil first impressions, yes?”

That evening, when Thalassa entered the theater, it was not empty, but neither was there a guest performer.

The stage hand from before jumped in surprise from his position on the stage as she entered. “Sorry, didn’t know anyone else was here.”

She glared at him. “Yes, there is. And I need this space to rehearse.” She purposefully strode up onto the stage.

The color drained from his face, “oh, uh, no one told me—“

“They didn’t have to. Now if you don’t mind…” she shooed him off.

He stood there frozen for a moment, started to leave, only to backtrack, “it’s just— I really would— but I need to check—“ he awkwardly waved his hand around, “the sound and stuff in here. I mean, there’ll be someone else in the booth, but I gotta run my own checks, ya know?”

“… what?”

“I just, I can make it real quick! And then I’ll get outta your hair! Promise.”

She huffed, “five minutes.”

“Thank you!” He turned away, muttering to himself “five minute sound check. Totally fine and doable. Definitely not impossible” and opened the case she’d missed laying on the stage. 

And pulled out a guitar.

Thalassa’s stomach dropped and her face turned bright red. 

His guitar let out an awful sound when he strummed, drawing a hiss from him before he turned back to her. “On second thought, you go ahead and do your thing. I’ll just hang out back and I can do my run through when you’re done—“

“I’m so sorry!” Thalassa blurted. They both stood there in silence, staring at each other for a moment before she spoke again, “you’re the guest performer?”

He chuckled awkwardly, “guilty as charged. Jove Justice. Nice to formally meet you.”

Oh what had she done! This man was their guest! What kind of impression had she given him of the Troupe? How could she fix this? “I thought you were a stage hand.” She slapped her hand over her mouth. Certainly not by saying that.

The man stared for another second before snorting, “well, can’t exactly blame you for that, all things considered.”

A.pollo Ju.stice spoilers implied below (also S.o.J spoilers lightly sprinkled in if it counts? idk)

Idea came to me in a dream for a Klapollo oneshot as a follow-up to my Jolassa oneshot with a super similar premise just to show the apple does not fall far from the tree. God, Apollo your genes are so fucking good your mom is so hot your dad is also so hot.

i was struggling to think of more less popular ships to send but JOLASSA…

OH GOD JOLASSA. TIME TO CRY.

jove justice haunted the narrative even when he wasn't truly conceived as a character and that's so powerful of him. thalassa haunts her own narrative and it kills me

there's something just so painful about being thalassa gramarye, living your whole life under the thumb of a man who saw you more as a tool for his goals than as his child, having to see everyone's lies and deceit plain as day, and just when you think things are finally getting better, when you find a man who loves you for you and not what you represent, when you think you're free to raise your child with someone so unlike everyone else in your life you can't help but feel everything will be okay...

it goes up in flames. you ask, you beg anyone to tell you what happened to your husband, where's your baby, but everyone is worried about their queen and they barely hear you. the pain is too much. you give up. you return to your old cage, thinking your little family is no more. you try your best to find happiness as small as it may be. trucy is a delight, and things look up. and then there's a bang, and nothing else.

and then there's jove, who only knew his travels and his music and then suddenly there's thalassa, and there's laughter and love and adventure, and a little one that makes you want to slow down, to enjoy what you have, to show the world to those you love...

but your life is taken from you, as you try to save the living proof of how much you loved and were loved in return. your beloved child, lost to the flames. your wife, at least, is safe, but for how long? you have to save them, you have to, you have--

i will always cry about them because neither of them deserved what they got. thalassa has made a million mistakes since then, but it's because her grief is so encompassing you can feel it even when she's lamiroir, without memory but still carrying that phantom pain. jove did NOT deserve to die i will fight capcom to the death how dare they leave apollo alone just for the sake of drowning that boy in even MORE angst.

there's a headcanon i see sometimes, that the guitar thalassa gave to klavier as lamiroir was actually jove's. and when i tell you it makes me cry

anyway i have So Many Emotions over mr and mrs justice thank you for letting me yell about them

How to win a girl’s heart

[aceredshirt13]

It seriously did not occur to me how young Thalassa was when she had Apollo until just recently.

so Jove was murdered in 2005, when Apollo was still a baby, and a very young baby at that. He couldn't have even been two if he was still wrapped up in the swaddle - hell, eighteen months is around the upper limit for an average baby to be walking around, which Apollo is very clearly not.

thus, we can assume that at this time, Apollo was around a year old?? Maybe just possibly on the cusp of a year and a half.

Thalassa is forty in 2026, meaning that if you go down from there, in 2005 Thalassa would have been nineteen. Unless they are for some reason taking a literal newborn on this tour with them, this means that Thalassa could have had him when she was eighteen at the oldest. If you consider they might have taken a newborn on the tour with them, then maybe she could have been nineteen, but nonetheless this is a worryingly young age to have a baby.

This brings up the question of Jove Justice. The game doesn't give him an age because we know almost nothing about him, but Jove really doesn't look like a teenager? Honestly I always thought he was somewhere in his twenties, maybe around twenty-four like Apollo in SOJ, but if he died a year after they had the baby when he was twenty-three, this would imply that he dated her when she was underage. Which, while not illegal unless there's sex, is still, y'know, not great. So for the sake of my own sanity, I'm going to toss Jove in the group of AA characters notorious for looking way older than they actually are - like Will Powers (twenty-five in AAI2 despite looking in his thirties) and Gregory Edgeworth (who somehow manages to look older at thirty-four than he did in his profile mugshot and the picture of his corpse at thirty-five, so I just end up averaging out how old he looks to be somewhere in the middle), to name a few. We'll say Jove is either Thalassa's age, or, more likely, a year or two older at most. At that point, if they did start dating when Thalassa was underage, the age gap was so small that it would have at the very least been legal in many American states - much like how most of the time in a fandom situation where adult/minor ships are banned (of course), exceptions are often made for very small age gaps (for example, from what I've seen, Franziskay isn't usually considered a problem).

It's potentially possible to fudge these dates a little bit, since Apollo didn't have a birth certificate that anyone could find, and Thalassa's garbage excuse for a family abandoned her in Europe for an undisclosed amount of time, presumably with no identification papers whatsoever given that she'd forgotten her own name. But in the end, what we've discovered is that Thalassa most likely had Apollo when she was a teenager, and that Jove is hopefully younger than he looks.

Characters: Arumajiki Yumi | Thalassa Gramarye, Odoroki Sousuke | Jove Justice

Thalassa gets a bad sunburn during one of their trips together, so Jove gets a few things to help her with it while attempting to make her feel better and forget about the pain. At the same time, they discuss names for their upcoming child.
