Ace Attorney Sentinal/Guide AU

(Just a rough outline, got the idea and needed to write it down)

Miles is the sentinel, Phoenix is the guide, sort of recognized each other as kids but didn’t get that that’s what it was because they were too young and neither had activated yet, no one around recognized it either for the same reason.

Try to deny it at first after the initial reunion, on both sides, because they don’t want this. Don’t acknowledge until after DL-6 resolution, start tentatively moving things along then. Miles never choses death, Phoenix goes after him after Gant, helps him calm down. Miles does still go to Europe, needs to get away from Japanafornia and get his head on straight. Comes back for Kurain, goes back to Europe, returns for AAI 1 and 2, moves back right after AAI2, thus is there for State vs Enigmar trial, prevents Phoenix from using forged evidence though Zak still vanishes and Phoenix still adopts Trucy. Phoenix spends seven years trying to find out who the forger is and what happened with Zak, but is also still a lawyer. Partway through, he and Miles get married. Simon still arrested, Dark Age of the Law still occurs, but Phoenix and Miles struggle against it the whole time.

Zak survives this one I guess? Jurist system still put in place, Kristoph goes to jail for one murder instead of two?

 Actually Miles comes fully online during the DL-6 resolution – actually had a very high snapping threshold/was too young when his father died, so only partially activated as a sentinel. Phoenix came online as a guide partway through the Dahlia case. Miles not being fully active initially makes it easier for them to avoid forming a sentinel-guide bond when they first meet up again in court, though it’s something they have to put a bit of effort into. After the DL-6 resolution they can’t avoid it anymore, the bond just snaps into place when they shake hands after leaving the courtroom.

 Athena is basically a guide on steroids – the Mood Matrix was meant to be a tool to make Guide abilities more quantifiable and thus easier to use in the legal system

The Original Sentinel TV Show

Someone made a movie style trailer for The Sentinel TV show (1996-1999), the origin of the Sentinel/Guide AU, aka the Little Black Dress of Fandom! Just look at Jim and Blair😍 (they were roommates)

The Sentinel Tenor Gifs!

So Tumblr uses Giphy and there are already lots of TS gifs here. But other places (Bluesky, Discord, Google keyboard, fakebook, x, etc) use Tenor, where there were almost none... until now! Jim and Blair have such great reactions, and gifs can become popular even from obscure sources. I hope these will get used and seen, and people will be reminded of the show, or wonder where it's from and discover the fandom!

Feel free to suggest gif-able moments! I'm keeping an eye out for general popular reactions like laughing, surprised, stink eye, eyeroll, confused, whoops, etc, and an ear out for pithy, caption-able quotes. Even moments that can be tweaked to fit a popular format, like the "stahp!" one.

Link to my tenor profile, where you can see what's available and the keywords (fyi other fandoms are mixed in)

Edit: Link to my Klipy TS collection, since Tenor is shutting down

Sentinel edit: Crush!

TS 1x01 The Switchman Clips - Shared with pCloud

Keep all your files safe, access them on any device you own and share with just the right people. Create a free pCloud account!

Attention Sentinel fans (and those curious about the original Sentinel TV show, the little black dress of fandom that spawned the Sentinel/Guide AU)!

I'm creating a Sentinel Media Library of short clips (and eventually more images & audio) from the show, that can be used for fan edits. You can plug them into templates or design your own edits, on mobile or PC.

I just finished clipping the pilot episode, The Switchman, with 100+ clips of the OG Jim and Blair first meeting, figuring out Jim's senses, and touching each other a lot and generally being adorable.

If you create something, please share, I want to see!! If you want to create but there are still barriers, technical or otherwise, please lmk, and I can add additional resources as needed. All constructive feedback is welcome!
