so spirits are real and canon in ace attorney right. we're past the non-believing stage, let's get straight into business. ghosthunters OBVIOUSLY exist in the aa universe, and that leads me to my next point.
where. the FUCK. are the ghosthunters AU's.
I need a fic where the aa4 gang (apollo, klavier, trucy, ema) all hunt a ghost together. and holy mother i will write it myself if i have to
REGARDLESS!
here is what i think they would all do under the pressure of Death by Ghost:
Apollo- he's seen enough spiritual shit to get out of his "ghosts aren't real" phase, but he's still fucking terrified. he only came along because klavier told him they were getting eldoons. it's like telling a dog they're going to the park as you pull up to the vet
Klavier- he's very, very dramatic about it. All "i'm too young and hot to die!!" and "herr forehead save me!!!!! please this mascara cost 80$ I DON'T WANT TO WASTE IT BY DYING"
Trucy- she is jealous of the ghost. it's throwing plates around and scaring everyone and she IMMEDIATELY starts brainstorming ways to add it all into her acts. "Polly can you call daddy? I need to ask him if it's okay that I get a ghost in the wonderbar for my performance"
Ema- the only bitch who's taking this shit seriously. look me in my eye, look back at ema doing all her sciency shit, and tell me she WOULD'NT be into reading EMF levels and evaluating temperatures. it's like forensic science took a step up

Eddie had done this often enough that the last person he expected to see at the door was a well-built dude with some sports jersey on. 
“Oh hey.” Sports Guy said, not looking remotely surprised to see them (nor was he hysterical, panicking, nervous, rushing Eddie inside or doing anything people normally did when it came to a home haunting.) “Eddie right? With Hellfire?” 
“That’s me.” Eddie said, giving a dorky little tug at his shirt, right over the Hellfire Hunters emblem, and regretted it immediately. 
“Come in.” Sports Guy said, stepping aside with a wave. 
His house wasn’t quite a mansion, but it was enormous, and Eddie could barely listen as Sports Guy began giving a run through of the layout of his home. 
“It mostly stays outside, but we’ve caught it in the house a few times.” He was saying as he went, pointing out various things that sounded an awful lot more like Eddie was here to catch a racoon than a ghost. 
Halfway through his spiel a literal herd of children, led by a curly headed kid who shrieked “Steve! Don’t catch it without me!” before shooting down some stairs, and Eddie become concerned some wires had been crossed.
“You understand you hired ghost hunters, right? We’re here to…” Eddie paused, because for the first time in his life, it felt so stupid to say what he did for a living. “Hunt ghosts?” 
“I know. Dustin--that’s the curly haired kid that just ran by--brought it home by accident. The kids named it Dart but it keeps ruining my rhododendrons. 
“Your--rhododendrons?” 
Steve nodded, face serious. “I’m in line for winning the county's best garden prize at the fair this year. Check in is in a month. If I replace any more flowers with store bought ones they’re gonna disqualify me.” 
Steve the Sports Guy lived in a giant fricken house, with a buttload of children, and was worried about a ghost haunting his flowers. 
Eddie wasn’t sure what the hell he’d just fallen into, but he was desperate to learn more. 
Not just because Steve was the hottest man he had ever seen in his life. 
(...Maybe because Steve was the hottest man Eddie had seen in his life but who could blame him? Those biceps, god!)

Modern AU but Shinobu has a ghost hunting Chanel with Obanai and Mitsuri.
She’s super enthusiastic and not scared at all but she’s hesitant to believe. She does all the research and brings all the equipment
Mitsuri is fucking terrified and will punch a ghost, she will timidly throw hands
Obanai gives me super superstitious vibes, he believes his ghosts and negative energies and he does not wanna be there at all
Ofc she has guests, fan favourite Tomioka Giyuu. He’s a complete skeptic, logically explains everything away even if there is no logical explanation. Deadpans every single bit of ghost activity.
Tengen was a skeptic and when he joined Shinobu, he was terrified as hell. He called Makio mid-hunt cuz he thought she’d scare the ghosts off
There’s several compilations of Mitsuri panicked punching something, usually another ghost-hunter, of Giyuu not believe an obvious ghost thing, Shinobu is like the Shane of the group; fans are convinced she herself is a demon hunting w the others

Where did Ghost Hunter Mc find the boys? Did they appear to her all at once, or one at a time? I can see Red attaching himself to her just to mess with Sans, being rival arch-demons and all. As for Skull, I can see him just showing up out of no where in the midst of Red and Sans' bickering to claim his own spot.
For those who don’t know, the Ghost Hunter au features amateur ghost hunter Mc (a fervent believer in the paranormal) trying to find & record proof of ghosts. She’s completely unaware that the three skele ‘friends’ who tease her and join her on her hunts are actually immensely powerful archdemons who follow her around because they find her antics absolutely adorable
Sans: He was posing as a college student, because colleges are generally delicious hotbeds of stress and fear and negativity. Not only does he not need to search hard to find energy to sap, nobody even notices the telltale signs of demonic presence because it’s pretty normal to see pale/unhealthy humans wandering around like they’re already dead. 
While he’s there, he meets his quirky little ‘hunter’, and his initial amusement with her obliviousness quickly spirals into him falling totally head over heels for her. He had quite a while alone with her, working up his attachment, before the other idiots came along.
Red: Red was clowning around in the human world. It’s a pastime of his- he’s pretty fond of humans, after all, especially the ones that are just as keen as he is to get some... stress relief.
You’re absolutely right, though. He met Mc and Sans while they were preparing for a 'hunt’. Mc wanted to take a weekend to visit a pretty distant ‘haunted’ location and Sans wouldn’t let her go alone... Red was bemused and intrigued by the sight of another powerful demon following a little human woman around. Especially considering Sans had marked her with his specific archdemon mark; their world’s equivalent of scribbling your name in sharpie on your favourite toy. Sans was literally broadcasting to everyone who had the Sight that this was his human and if you fucking touch her you deal with me, so obviously Red immediately stuck his nose in their business.
Red offered to drive them to the haunted location and back, which saved them a lot of time. During the drive he made the same mistake Sans made- letting his guard down and totally falling for Mc.
Skull: He was haunting one of the locations they visited, feeding off the distress of the long-dead people there. He took one look at her and got hit with that instant love at first sight. He followed her, latching on like a miasma and learning everything about her he could, until he settled into a physical form and staged an ‘accidental’ meeting at the library where they’re both trying to check out books on ghosts.
He mirrors her personality, absorbing her interests in the hopes that she’ll like him. She’s delighted to meet someone who’s apparently just as invested in the paranormal as she is... and he’s delighted to finally have a reason to feel happy.

HECK my brain has provided a Silly AU
Okay, explanation: Saw a promo photo for AotC. Brain connected some dots. Rotated. Connected other dots. Now I have a weird net.
Background before moving forward: For most modern AUs, the pattern I follow for the disaster lineage main line is:
Feemor and Xanatos were Qui-Gon's mentees (college stuff), not his kids. One ended well. The other did not.
Obi-Wan was the result of a Bad Decision (likely alcohol, but could be a longer relationship). The bio mom is not in the picture, but Qui-Gon's doing his best with this kid.
First marriage was when Obi-Wan was still a toddler, to Tahl. Tahl dies when Obi-Wan is about 15/16. Qui-Gon deals poorly. This involves some ill-advised one-night stands.
About ten years later, one of said one-night stands calls him up with "I meant to be a single mother and not involve you, because all I had was the business card you left, but I've been having some health troubles and I need to know that Anakin has somewhere to go if something happens to me." Qui-Gon ends up with another kid. Obi-Wan and Anakin are half-brothers.
Okay now for the actual AU.
We give Anakin a reason to be transferred mostly to Qui-Gon. Maybe Shmi's health took a turn for the worse, maybe she died, maybe they decided Anakin would have better schooling if he was living with Qui-Gon, whatever. Point is mostly that Anakin is living with Qui-Gon (the dad he likes but only sort-of knows) and Obi-Wan (the half-brother he adores but doesn't see much of because Obi-Wan is in grad school).
And then Qui-Gon remarries.
To Mace.
And the entire point of all this is that I want Anakin's stepdad on this side to be Mace Windu and imagine the Various Nonsenses that may come about.
They have a very big house because Qui-Gon is Dooku's firstborn and is inheriting the Countship.
(Rael can't inherit because he's the only heir to a different title and he can't hold both at the same time.)
Anakin reading books about Evil Stepmothers and trying to figure out if he should be watching Mace for Important Signs.
Does it count if it's a stepdad? Are the books an accurate representation of the proper signs to watch out for?
My favorite QuiMace dynamic is Qui-Gon deliberately, constantly toeing the line of irritation to Mace. And Mace is just incredibly flat-faced about it at all times. People think they're just. Coworkers at best. And then Qui-Gon manages something extra ridiculous and earns himself a smile and a peck on the cheek and everyone's just like WAIT. WHAT. It's like. Qui-Gon embodies this constant, slightly smug, needling grin where he knows exactly how far he can push, and Mace is charmed by this against his better judgement.
Mace has to drive Anakin to school sometimes and there's just this. Kid. In the passenger seat. Staring at him. The only request he ever gets from the kid is to go Fast. It happens once. He says no. Anakin doesn't ask again, just. Stares at him.
Mace knows the kid isn't possessed but he sure as hell feels like it sometimes; he wants to endear himself to his stepkid, but said stepkids spends half his time staring suspiciously at him from around corners for no reason.
I am envisioning this all taking place in like. This egregiously old and fancy mansion in the Scottish Highlands or something. All those painfully upper crust carved dark wood stair rails and whatnot. The tropey kind.
Qui-Gon decides Mace and Ani should try to Bonding Exercise. Sets them up in an escape room. Mace turns to read the instructions and turns around to find Anakin trying to unscrew the door from the wall because That's One Way To Win, Right? It's Not Against The Rules. He's not trying to escape for anxiety reasons or anything, this is just the fastest way to Win, and boy does Anakin love winning.
Qui-Gon goes off to a botany conference so the house is just Mace and Anakin (and staff, but half the building is a living museum because Qui-Gon doesn't like Rich Life, so that's not actually anything that involves them), and it's. The most awkward thing.
Obi-Wan and Mace get along well. Obi-Wan and Depa (Mace's adopted daughter) get along great. It's just Anakin being so gosh darn weird.
The acceptance phase with this child involves climbing. Anakin is climbing his stepdad to reach Things Up High before he actually talks to him like a Fellow Human Being.
Anakin climbs Qui-Gon to reach high things all the time so Mace figures it's a good sign. It's just also annoying because now he has to change his shirt since there's a child-sized footprint on it.
(Ironically, Anakin adores Depa. She can cook better than anyone else in this family, except Mom and that Dooku guy that's apparently Grandpa)
(Granted I can also very easily imagine this as not-manor life, but like. random suburb.)
@epicmusic42 (Wren) pointed out:
The manor is important bc it gives ambiance to Anakin's suspicion. Could also have a b-plot where depa and obi are investigating what they think might be a murder? They're not sure and they're not letting anakin join bc they're terrified they'll be right and find a dead body komari stashed in the walls 20 years ago
Mace, rubbing his temples: She's alive and living on Cypress. We can video call her.
Obi-Wan and Mace get along well. Obi-Wan and Depa get along great. It's just Anakin being so gosh darn weird.

(Ironically, Anakin adores Depa. She can cook better than anyone else in this family, except Mom and that Dooku guy that's apparently Grandpa)
The idea of Depa and Obi-Wan furiously whispering about Weird Ghost Things in a corner while Anakin is pretending to be otherwise occupied is killing me.
He's got on noise cancelling headphones. They are not on. He is listening very intently to his Grown Up Siblings.
He's going to crawl into the vents and find the ghost Mace finds him half-way inside a vent he removed himself and just. Pulls him out. What the fuck fudge, kid?
Wren:
Mace: [considers his daughter. Considers everything he knows Obi-wan. Considers that this is Qui-Gon’s kid] Mace, resigned: ...does this have anything to do with depa and Obi-wan’s idea that there's a ghost? Anakin: ...maybe
I need Anakin to have a nightmare and he tries to find Qui-Gon but Mace is already awake and decides to Make Some Hot Chocolate.
Groundskeeper Plo and his granddaughter Ahsoka.
Shaak is Plo's daughter-in-law and Ahsoka's mom. She spends most of her time working in the neonatal ward of the nearest hospital, so she leaves Ahsoka with Plo a lot.
This toddler has decided Anakin is her favorite person EVER.
Wren:
plo might have planted some odd evidence to help Mace bond w anakin over a mystery. Whether that's still what depa and obi are investigating tho...
Plo has a pilot's license and Anakin spends so much time asking him about it
Anakin keeps trying to get into the antique swords Mace would tear his hair out if he had any
Wren:
Mace: help? Qui? Qui: Ani, the same rule applies to you as it did to the rest of our family. You have to beat father in a duel before you can touch his collection Whether or not it works depends entirely on whether it's Dooku's swords Anakin is trying to access Mace is concerned by this is until Qui-Gon points out that his father did go to the Olympics. Several times in fact.
Anakin's upset because he can't beat Dooku in a duel when Dooku's on some wine tour in Italy and won't be coming back until all the court cases are over.
There's a fic (by @willowcrowned) where Dooku is Ventress's fencing coach to get her to the Olympics and I like that option (She's going in the will and everyone knows it.)
Glorious! Could drive the chaos up even more by interrupting Mace's progress w anakin, w dooku coming home w ventress in tow, actually. The only explanation he'll give is that she's staying and to treat her like family. Everyone is Concerned
You know those comics where Dick Grayson is like. Swinging on the chandelier and scaring the shit out of Bruce and Alfred? That's Anakin.
Qui-Gon is relatively responsible and tells Anakin that he can sign up for a gymnastics class if he'd like, but he's not swinging from the chandelier without safety equipment. That's How Your Uncle Rael Broke His Leg, You Know. Unfortunately, he's still too chill about it for Mace's blood pressure.
Also, I decided that if I ever do anything with this, it's QuinObi.
I think Mace and Tholme would make for very saltmate in-laws (and hey, we could do the Plo thing!), but also Quinlan would probably enjoy winding up his future step-father-in-law just as much as Qui-Gon does.

For the alternative universes weekend, one of my absolute favorites is an AU called “love is like ghosts” by kkpwnall. It’s an AU where the boys are ghost hunters, it’s short and sweet and very very fun, highly recommend ☺️
love is like ghosts by kkpwnall
@kkpwnall
Rating: Mature
7,780 words, 1/1 chapters
Archive Warning: No Warnings
Tags: Alternate Universe - Ghost Hunters, Alternate Universe - Everyone Lives/Nobody Dies, POV Steve Harrington, Bisexual Steve Harrington, Gay Eddie Munson, Implied/Referenced Suicide, Ghosts, Ghost Hunters, Former Catholic Steve Harrington, Former Theatre Kid Eddie Munson, Steve Harrington Wears Glasses, banter as a love language, First Kiss, Getting Together, Rough Kissing, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Paranormal Investigators
Summary:
They stand at the base of a short flight of stairs leading up to the old university library. From everything Steve’s read, it’s one of the most haunted places in Indiana… within a tank of gas’ drive… that would let them in after hours. “It’s the witching hour,” Eddie says spookily. He’s come up behind Steve, pressing close and wiggling his fingers on Steve’s shoulders. Steve huffs a laugh and starts double checking his pockets for his share of the gear. Something to focus on that’s not the way Eddie’s breath ruffles his hair and skims over his cheek, raising goosebumps in its wake. It’s not like he doesn’t like the attention, the closeness, the physicality of Eddie. He does. Probably too much. Especially since they’re just friends. Steve knows he’s not special to be on the receiving end, it’s how Eddie is with everyone.
Thanks for the rec!
This rec is a part of Theme Weekend. The theme this weekend is alternate universes.
Know a fic that deserves extra love? Submit through our asks or the submission box!

More of my Ghost Slayers AU:
Shinobu finds herself deep in the basement of the Kibutsuji Mansion, where it’s said the leader of Paradise Cult lies in waiting to entice wandering ghost hunters to join him in death.
It’s said that as you stare into the shrine, you can feel the air around you freeze. Your breathe becomes visible, and the slightest reflection of a toothy smile and rainbow eyes can be seen in the glass.
Douma is intentionally trying to scare Shinobu ((she’s about to deck him with that heavy duty flashlight))
He’s the ghost that knocks on the walls, tips over a candle and whispers in your ears like a creep

Ghost hunter caretaker/whumper and ghost whumpee is sending me..!!
Caretaker hunts evil spirits/ghosts for a living but just simply can't imagine ever hurting whumpee since they are just so cute and nice
Whumpee is terrified of humans since they're so used to people trying to exorcise their houses of them and being scared of him
When caretaker comes and finds whumpee inside of someone's house and instantly decides to just take them with them back to their house
Whumpee freaks out and doesn't want to go but caretaker captures them and just brings them back to their home
The reason caretaker is also referred to as whumper is because they did technically take whumpee against their will but it was better than their prior life
They don't live in fear anymore, they have food and proper shelter, and they're aloud to freely roam the house as long as they don't exit the inside
Life is a little more nice for whumpee and now caretaker has a semblance of a friend or family

Hello! Me again! *waves enthusiastically* your page is legit a rabbit hole, I’ve read just about everything on your AO3, and I just found your ghost hunter AU.. do you have anymore head cannons for it? Like.. a crumb I’m so desperate to see if there’s anymore Info 🥹🥹
ohohohohoho...... headcanons for the ghost hunter au? why, of course,,,
People who genuinely have some kind of paranormal Sight don’t actually tend to pick up anything directly from the guys, because they’re so good and well-practised at disguising their powers and bad vibes. Ironically, the more powerful a demon is, the better they can cover their power. Someone would, however, get weird bad vibes from Mc; they’ve all put possessive marks on her. Despite her smiles and enthusiasm, her demon guard dogs have made her reek of demonic energy. 
The little Youtube account Mc has made to document her ghost exploration has made Red and Sans something of a devoted following. They like Sans’ humour, and they think Red is hot. This is, ironically, the equivalent of a small snack for them- groups of people unknowingly devoting thoughts and energy to active archdemons.
Skull face reveal at 1M followers!!!
We all know ghosts will flee the demon trio. Sometimes it gets Mc down, when she goes into a location famous for hauntings, all her gear ready and her spirits high (pun intended)... and she gets absolutely no activity. Seeing her down makes the guys feel bad, especially since Red and Sans are playing the parts of snarky sceptics. Behind her back, they goad or bully ghosts into making appearances just to get her excited again.
(Their method of bullying the ghosts is by threatening to feed them to Skull. It’s a very effective threat because they absolutely will go ahead with it if a brave/stupid soul doesn’t comply.)
Even better if there’s another demon there, because there’s few things Red enjoys more than picking on lesser demons
The guys are capable of using their energy to disrupt electrical equipment. Sans is particularly adept at this, precise and deliberate, he can disrupt very specific parts of machines or video feeds to his liking. Red only does it if he’s annoyed and fluctuations in power from a cranky Skull can break all kinds of equipment.
Luckily for Mc, Skull has never broken any of her important ghost hunting equipment, because he never gets angry when she’s ghost hunting. She’s just too cute, overexcited and starry-eyed, it’s like following around a hyperactive kitten. How could he ever be even CLOSE to upset?
... He has, however, accidentally busted a few TVs. 
If Sans thinks one of her ghost encounters is getting too good, ie; she’s about to successfully film a full-body apparition, he’ll use his abilities to disrupt the feed and remove the footage. Blame it on the ghosts.
Red has bullied at least one demon into abandoning a very popular demonically haunted area. He hopes to increase that number.
