History FanFic / GensokyosHeart

* CatchPhrase: A few.
** Abathur will say, "Large scale improvement of ____ sequences," when he [[spoiler:gathers essence that can be applied to ____]].

* TheEvilGenius: The role Abathur plays in the Swarm.
* TheHero: Abathur, easily.
* TheLancer: Either Reimu or Aya, depending on the situation.

---> '''Aya''': So, Abby, what exactly are you?
---> '''Abathur''': Evol- ''Abby?''
---> '''Aya''': It’s a nickname! Get used to it! Anyways, what are you?

* ZergRush: Being a fanfic of the [[TropeNamers Trope Namer,]] of course the Zerg pulled this in their attack against the Tal'Darim. When Kerrigan realized that Tal'Darim reinforcements were arriving, she took all the Zerg she had and invaded their base.

* MeaningfulName: [[LightNovel/IsThisAZombie Ayumu]] [[UsefulNotes/CharlesManson Manson]]. She's a zombie. [[spoiler: She's also a serial killer who leaves song lyrics at the scenes of her crimes.]]

** [[OurZombiesAreDifferent Ayumu Manson's]] first name is a shout out to LightNovel/IsThisAZombie. [[spoiler: Her last name is a reference to [[UsefulNotes/CharlesManson Charles Manson]].]]

* HasTwoMommies: [[spoiler:Yukari likes to think of Chen as her and Ran's daughter]].

---> [[spoiler:How does [Yukari] know about the Xel’Naga? What could she possibly have planned? [[HasTwoMommies Why is she so obsessed with the idea of Chen being her and Ran’s daughter]]?]]

The story revolves around four focus characters ([[CreepyGood Abathur]], [[GenkiGirl Aya]] [[IntrepidReporter Shameimaru]], [[DarkIsNotEvil Alice]] [[MarionetteMaster Margatroid]] (starting in chapter 11; prior to this, her role was taken by [[CheerfulChild Cirno]]), and [[DeadpanSnarker Reimu]] [[KnightInSourArmor Hakurei]]) as Abathur tries to collect essence and evolve the Swarm, while the other three help him get used to Gensokyo, and the strange effects it has on Zerg biology and psychology. Like the two series' that it is based on, the series has a hell of a lot more characters than that. It also likes to avoid Flanderization, making Cirno rather bright and Meiling a competent gate guard, for example.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: It's a fanfic of two different examples of the trope. It's rather obvious that this occurs.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10060844/1/Gensokyo-s-Heart Gensokyo's Heart]]'' is a VideoGame/{{Touhou}} and VideoGame/StarCraft crossover fanfic written by Antagonist Chan. The premise is that Abathur, the Evolution Master of the Swarm, comes to Gensokyo with a small army of Zerg to gather Youkai essence for use in the Swarm, but Gensokyo assimilates them, instead.

* AnIcePerson: Cirno, [[CaptainObvious obviously.]]

* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler:Ayumu Manson]]. She has a habit of tricking people into thinking that she's weak before hitting them with a barrage of danmaku when their guard is down. [[CaptainObvious Suffice to say,]] nobody likes her.

The bulk of the story was updated quite rapidly (even updating three times in one day at one point). However, no new chapters have been posted since August 2014.

-> -Sarah Kerrigan

** Ayumu also uses the spell card [[Film/NightOfTheLivingDead Romero Sign "Character Death"]].

The story updates quite rapidly (even updating three times in one day at one point), and Antagonist claims that she wants the story to go on for a good long while.

* MagnificentBastard: [[spoiler: Ayumu Manson]]. It's incredibly impressive that she's managed to live as long as she has despite the fact that nobody [[spoiler: who isn't on the Mysterious Woman's payroll]] actually likes her.

** [[OurZombiesAreDifferent Ayumu Manson's]] first name is a shout out to LightNovel/IsThisAZombie. [[spoiler: Her last name is a reference to [[UsefulNotes/CharlesManson Charles Manson.]]

* MeaningfulName: [[LightNovel/IsThisAZombie Ayumu]] [[UsefulNotes/CharlesManson Manson]]. She's a zombie.

** [[OurZombiesAreDifferent Ayumu Manson's]] first name is a shout out to LightNovel/IsThisAZombie.

* AerithAndBob: [[Bob the Tal'Darim Warrior.]] Doesn't seem like an example at first, until you remember that the Protoss usually have names like Zeratul and Tassadar.

** Ayumu Manson's first name is a shout out to LightNovel/IsThisAZombie.

* Main/Flanderization: Averted, for the most part. Cirno's a pretty bright kid (although she's still a kid) and Meiling is good at her job and only takes one afternoon nap.

* Main/Foreshadowing: Abathur mentions that [[spoiler:he can use hair to gather essence. Guess what his primary means of gathering essence ends up being?]]

* BreatherEpisode: While the story on its own isn't too dark, the Intermission chapters are notably more lighthearted and contain no action (the first one being a Bunbunmaru article about the events of the first arc, the second one being Abathur explaining how the Zerg work to [[FanNickname Team Nineball]]).

** Lampshaded in chapter 12.
