Hi-ho all, this topic is where I plan to work on the crafting of my up-coming fanfiction series based on the story of Phoenix Wright.
The plot starts off shortly after the events of Trials and Tribulations, and while it ignores the events of Apollo Justice, I do intend to write elements and characters from that game into the story. It also ties together with the events of the Investigations games, Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, and I even plan to incorporate the events of Trauma Center: Under the Knife into the mix.
The story goes that during his stay at the Hazakura Temple, Phoenix is talked into going skiing with Maya. However, an accident lands Phoenix with a broken leg, leaving him incapacitated for a while. By the time phoenix gets back home, he finds out he's been evicted from his apartment for not paying the rent. Even worse, when he tries to go to his office to get some work done, a fire causes his office building to burn down, leaving him without a home or workplace. With nowhere else for him to go, Maya offers him a chance to live with her and Pearl at Kurain Village, starting a new chapter in Phoenix's life.
The plot will consist of Phoenix as he interacts with Maya, Pearl, and any other old friends that happen to show up. After Phoenix moves in, Maya gets the "brilliant" idea to use the manor as a boarding house for people who have low wages, which results in many old and new friends from the PW trilogy, AJ, ME:AAI, TC:UTK, and even GT:PD to appear. The story will still retain it's mystery theme, and Phoenix will get mixed up in numerous murders and other mishaps that he'll have to solve, with the help of his comrades of course.
I admit I'm not very good at writing court cases, so I believe I'll leave most of the mysteries that occur to be done outside of court like the Investigations games. I'll still try to throw in a court case once in a while to keep with the series theme.
Besides solving mysteries though, Phoenix will have his hands full dealing with various people that are out for blood, especially the branch families of the Fey clan, many of whom want to have Maya rubbed out so they can take her place, as since Misty recently passed away, this is an opportune time for a takeover of the Fey clan. It won't be long though, when Phoenix learns how far the battle for control of everything will go, and a mysterious threat that could very well destroy everything he knows and loves.
Various major characters I've planned to play a role in the story as in this spoiler tag. I'll add more as I come up with them. Careful as these contain spoilers for pretty much all the games: the Phoenix Wright trilogy, the Investigations games, Apollo Justice, Trauma Center and Ghost Trick.
Spoiler:

He ends up working as a ramen shop owner in Kurain Village, but still retains his job as a defense attorney, and solves various murders and incidents on the side when duty calls.

She still feels the pain of the betrayal she did to everyone, and vows to do everything she can to atone for her crimes, including being a good big sister to Pearl.

Having no one else to turn to, Trucy grows a strong attachment to Phoenix, often calling him "Papa", much to Phoenix's embarrassment and annoyance.
Before I start writing though, I'd like to hear input from anyone who happens to peek into this topic. Anyone who has ideas for plot points or characters you'd like to see. I'd espeically like to hear ideas for possible English names for the cast of Investigations 2, as I think it'll be a cold day in July when Capcom finally brings the game to the states.
It also ties together with the events of the Investigations games, Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective,
Will be nice to see something integrating both GS and GT series....

Yeah, writing court cases is hard, it's a lot more boring to read than play. Not sure what to make at my one attempt at this.
