The story revolves around four focus characters: [[CreepyGood Abathur]], [[GenkiGirl Aya]] [[IntrepidReporter Shameimaru]], [[AnIcePerson 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. Like the two series' that it is based on, the series has [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters 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.

Added DiffLines:

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


Added DiffLines:

* CreepyGood: Abathur is creepy on so many levels, but he's not nearly as villainous here as he is in canon. In fact, he's TheHero here.
* DeadpanSnarker: Reimu snarks a lot. A couple of Abathur's snarkier moments are also described by the narration as him deadpanning.
* GenkiGirl: Aya's genkiness is pretty extreme here.
* IntrepidReporter: Aya researches for the Bunbunmaru by [[spoiler: going out and participating in resolving the Human Village Incident]].
* KnightInSourArmor: Reimu ''might'' be this. The story's not long enough to tell, yet.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: It's a fanfic of two different examples of the trope. It's rather obvious that this occurs.

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.

Added DiffLines:

* RecapEpisode: Chapter five, the first intermission, covers the events of the first arc. It also contains an interview between Aya and Abathur.
** To a lesser extent, Chapter Nine, the second intermission, has Abathur recap the events of Starcraft (with the exception of Brood War), as well as the backstory of the Starcraft universe (such as the Xel'Naga life cycle) and the events leading up to his arrival in Gensokyo. He explains this all to Team Nineball ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Chen]]), as well as Keine and [[spoiler: Vampire Ultralisk]] who hear the latter end of the story.

** Chapters 1 and 8 both have Abathur saying, "Hmm?". Of course, he talks funny, so both times, the narration says (in these exact words): "For a creature with as much echo in their voice as him, the sound was very strange indeed."

* AdaptationalVillainy: Kerrigan is much less sympathetic in this story than she is in ''[[VideoGame/StarCraftIIHeartOfTheSwarm Heart of the Swarm]].''
* BadBoss: Kerrigan seems to treat most of the Zerg well, but sees Abathur as nothing more than a tool (which is understandable, considering that he [[spoiler: designed the Queen of Blades]] in canon).

Added DiffLines:

* BlatantLies: Aya's article on the 'Human Village Incident' is full of these. It claims that Reimu mindlessly attacked the Leviathan, when in reality Reimu was protecting ''Aya herself,'' that Cirno chewed Reimu out when Cirno has nothing but respect for the Miko, and that Abathur begged her for an interview when in reality it was the other way around.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Subverted. When Reimu rescues Aya, Abathur initially seems more worried about the fact that [[ImprobablyFemaleCast nobody in Gensokyo is male]] than he is about Reimu actually ''destroying a Glaive Wurm.'' However, it's quickly clarified that it's the Glaive Wurm's destruction that he's more worried about, as it shows just how powerful Gensokyo's residents are.
