Summary
"Exile still seems the best option, Stoick..."
Stoick should have known better. While he didn't know much about his son-especially now-he knew the boy was clever. It should have been no surprise when a guard burst into the Council Meeting and revealed that Hiccup had escaped the cell Stoick put him in...hours after the boy was revealed to have saddled a dragon.
Hiccup is gone, and so is the beast.
They search, but do not find him. Berk falls asleep one night and awakens in the Great Hall, where the torches come to life and cast an image of their isle on the wall, from which floats Hiccup's voice, years younger.
AKA, Hiccup forfeited the final challenge, leaving Astrid with the right to kill the Nightmare. Story picks up in the Race to the Edge era, except Berk never learned the truth of dragons, no one knows how Hiccup really lost his leg, and stories of a hooded 'vigilante' riding a Night Fury have been long whispered...and Berk will see it all unfold.
Stoick the Vast and Berk watch How to Train Your Dragon...and beyond.
(Title from Dotan's 'Home')

Summary
What happened between cases in the Apollo Justice game? Here's one way things could have played out!
Another retelling of Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, with context from the other games in the AJ trilogy to repair consistency and explain plot holes. Chapters take place between the game's episodes (I'm not rewriting the trials). Mostly canon-compliant, but takes some liberties for fun.

Summary
"Well, Justice? What do you hope to gain?"
Apollo sighed, closing his eyes. "Your trust, sir. I'd just like you to trust me."
__________After news of Kristoph's escape from prison, Apollo finds himself afraid of what's to come. Fear turns to terror when Kristoph holds him hostage in his own home. Forced to deal with his ex-mentor's manipulative nature, Apollo finds himself fighting, scheming, and...gaining an understanding.
Sometimes, it feels like looking in a mirror.
A shattered one, in any case.
