History FanFic / TouhouIbunshu

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: For starters, the Incidents are, literally, doomsday scenarios: the Scarlet Mist [[spoiler:(and worse, Flandre's original plan to ''nuke'' Gensokyo)]], TheNightThatNeverEnds, SpringIsLate - they are all capable of killing everything within the Barrier. Sakuya's time stop abilities make her almost unstoppable, capable of killing the protagonists in an instant [[spoiler:(which she ''does'' in the second arc)]]. Flandre's isolation-driven insanity and Mokou's immortality-driven insanity are not quirky or a chance for quick angst, it's terrifyingly tragic and does irreversible damage to their psyche. Instead of being a DrunkenMaster, Suika is just TheAlcoholic, being just as useless as most people are when they're drunk. Sanae, much like canon, is taken from the mundane into Gensokyo, a wonderful world full of magic and monsters, and she's utterly terrified and nearly dies several times due to inexperience and ignorance. In ''Rebirth by Subterranean Anima'', Yukari's life is imperiled. Had she been killed, the Boundary would have snapped and dropped Gensokyo in the real world. [[spoiler:Even ignoring the catastrophic effect this would have on magic and the inhabitants of the valley, Satori briefly comments on the horrendous impact Gensokyo's sheer mass would have on Japan, the Ring of Fire and continental landmasses. According to her estimations, if Yukari were to die, she would take around ''a quarter of the world'' with her.]]

For a time, the website the held Ibunshu was down, due to Usually Dead having left the Touhou fandom and choosing to neglect paying the bill to keep it up. On December 2020, though, the website was reinstated. This came with Ibunshu finally being continued after so long, with an adaptation of Subterranean Animism. As of December 2021, the new website features revamped versions of the first three stories and the latest one, though all the other stories can be found in the link below.

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Rumia, Wriggle, Mystia, and most shockingly, Mokou.]]
* KnifeNut: Sakuya, just like the original, except that here someone capable of [[TimeStandsStill stopping time]] and hurling a knife at your face before you even blink is every bit as intimidating as she can be.

* SealedEvilInACan: Koishi Komeiji gets caught by an EldritchAbomination of fire [[spoiler:who might actually be this story's version of Nue Houjuu]], who demands her family release it in exchange for her. Utsuho's attempts to accomplish this are the main impetus of her actions. [[spoiler:It wouldn't take her too long to crack open the seal, given she'd kidnapped many extremely strong and clever mages (Yukari, Patchouli, Aya, Suika, Nitori and Alice). The problem is that it's extremely unlikely she'd bother to save them once she gets Koishi out, allowing the monster to kill them - which leads to the nigh-apocalyptic scenario of the Boundary snapping with Yukari's death.]]

* DreamWorld: Reimu travels to several of her friends' dreams; their minds are rendered as different places. Marisa's a gigantic puzzle, Alice's is the Forest of Magic, Meiling's a mountaintop, and so on. [[spoiler:The most alien of these worlds is Yukari's, which is [[HumansAreCthulhu the outside world]].]]

* {{Cliffhanger}}: ''Rebirth by Subterranean Anima'' ends in several. [[spoiler: As the crisis passes, Yukari reveals Utsuho escaped and her attention has been drawn to the Moriya Shrine, Nue fled the Underground, and Remilia reveals Sakuya has disappeared.]]

--> Retelling of ''Subterranean Animism

Alas, the website that held Touhou Ibunshu seems to have gone down permanently, and another website that holds Ibunshu can't be found, meaning that the fanfiction may be lost for good.

* CryForTheDevil. [[spoiler:As much as Reimu intellectually knows she's furious with Sakuya, seeing her helplessly sobbing after being forced to accept her EnemyWithin somewhat softens her stance against her, giving them one more chance to establish a real friendship.]]

''[[http://usuallydead.com/ Touhou Ibunshu]]'' is a completed FanFiction series by Tyler "usuallydead" Lovell. It is, as the name suggests, an adaptation of the ''{{VideoGame/Touhou}}'' series (exclusively the Windows era), covering ''The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil'', ''Perfect Cherry Blossom'', ''Immaterial and Missing Power'', and ''Imperishable Night'', with several side-stories covering the intervening periods, as well as two flashbacks. Each of the main stories (except the ''Immaterial and Missing Power'' adaptation, oddly enough) follow the general plot of the respective game, including the main threat, the characters that embark upon a quest to stop it, and the characters they encounter in a certain order, however the resemblance to the original plots mostly ends there.

* ShoutOut: Several ''Touhou'' [[{{Memes/Touhou}} memes]] sneak there way into the story, subtly enough that if you didn't know the meme you wouldn't notice anything was unusual.

* NobodyOver50IsGay: Averted (or Inverted, depending on how seriously you take LesYay) by Eirin and Kaguya, who are both very much in love with each other and about as [[Really700YearsOld over 50 as you can possibly get]].
