What got you into Klavdarpollo? Do you have any au’s where things actually work out for them or are they doomed regardless.
to make a VERY long story short, i really like turnabout serenade. i reread the transcripts very often and my friends and i play it on discord annually (three times now…. yippee i love my friends!) in general i really love the characterization we get for everyone in that case.
i didn’t care that much about daryan when i first got into ace attorney but i have always enjoyed the tragedy of klavdar which means i read a couple of fanfics for them and some of them just really resonated with me in how they wrote daryan, which lead to me liking him a lot more. i also always liked klapollo so i ended up reading a lot of fics that were like, klavdar angst ending in klapollo. which was basically all i could find at the time for them.
anyways from what i can find, my first tweet about klavdarpollo was me in 2022 tweeting a couple screenshots of the transcripts and basically saying they have great chemistry. i just think the way they bounce off of each other is so funny and interesting.
so it’s not super interesting really lol. learning to like daryan took me a bit but after that klavdarpollo was sorta instantaneous for me. and i like sharks a lot.
AUs on the other hand. are more interesting to talk about! i sort of think they’re a little doomed if you’re just looking at canon, but i don’t think they’re totally beyond repair if some big events took place.
- my first “au” is not quite as interesting as the other so i’ll keep it brief. it’s just a canon divergence fic where daryan did get arrested for smuggling but didn’t commit the murder. to me this is kind of the “easy” way out of his character at face value. i think there’s a lot of potential to build on it but on its own? not anything crazy. so fittingly, my fanfic wip of this is just intended to be a oneshot that’s probably only ever going to be under 5k words. nothing that makes you think too much.
- my other au is something that i’ve actually been working on for years and it’s gone through a lot of changes and is like 6 chapters long so far but i don’t want to post anything til it’s totally finished because it’s genuinely my baby. and the only way to explain much would be to spoil the ending. but my main idea with it is that something really big would have to happen in order for them to ever work it out after 4-3. something genuinely catastrophic to make daryan specifically realize exactly what he messed up in his relationships. his crime can easily be interpreted as something sympathetic (smuggling a miracle medication….. killing to protect that operation to save sick kids….) but that doesn’t mean much if we see him like we did at the end of the case. if he’s still refusing to take accountability for anything, nothing will happen. and sure you could say after he gets to jail and has time to think, he’d do that on his own, but an inciting incident seems a lot more likely for him. he’s scared of admitting his guilt and he’s scared of processing his feelings!
so that’s it as far as my AUs go. i’ve bounced a few things around in my head too but nothing really stuck as much as those. in an ideal world i finish them soon enough to post them. ao3 name is rinshroom btw.
i think if you’re going strictly with canon though, they’re doomed. you hate (love) to see it. i don’t think klavier is reaching out to daryan first, and daryan is too stubborn, and apollo doesn’t actually know them well enough yet to step in. and i don’t think he’s gonna choose to get to know daryan after the arrest.
