History TearJerker / Touhou

** The [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/pool/show/1626 "Tragedy of Long Life"]] pool is 99% Sakuya, Marisa, and Keine dieing, and Remilia/Meiling, Alice, and Mokou (respectively) grieving.

** Luckily, there is the sequel, that ends up with a BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Rumia regaining her memories and adult-like appearnace and fighting against Reimu. After Rumia is defeated, she begs Reimu for forgiveness for having killed her mother years ago before she fades away forever. And all the while Marisa and the others are bawling their eyes out.]] Ouch.

** ''[[http://danbooru.donmai.us/pools/2493 Nitori Gets Caught In The Flow]]'' has its own soulcrushingly painful take on the story of Kaguya and Mokou's feud. [[spoiler:Mokou's Father secretly never loved her and tried to make use of her bond to Kaguya to marry the Moon Princess, so Kaguya decided to humiliate him and let Mokou hate her. This fanfic goes even further with the sadness, as a time-displaced Nitori [[YouCantFightFate futilely tries to change her destiny]] after making friends with her. To ''twist'' the knife even more, when Nitori returns to present-day Gensokyo, Mokou has somewhat forgotten her after the thousand-or-so intervening years.]]

* Parsee Mizuhashi. Jealousy is a very strong emotion, as anyone who has felt it can attest to. Feeling it for a just a short time can bring great pain to the person, and Parsee has to feel it for thousands of years as part of her curse. Imagine how much pain she is in now, and how many times have a person crossing her bridge felt pity for her just for her to shrug it off, out of, [[{{Fanon}} well, being jealous of all of them for even showing pity]]. [[FateWorseThanDeath And she's stuck with it, forever]].

* [[http://www.zerochan.net/1476074#full This bit of fanart of Reimu]]. For this Tropette, it brings tears because it shows a smiling ghost Reimu still tending to her ruined shrine, after so many years since she'd died and the shrine fell into ruin, made even sadder that it reminds her of and goes well with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrNWbRNubWk this]]*sniff* Makes one wonder if Gensokyo forgot all about her.

* The fangame TouhouALive [[spoiler: Fantasy Chapter: Lots of people die, and that's BEFORE the end of the scenario. Also some in the earlier chapters. Everyone save Shang, Alice, and Reisen die aboard the Momento Mori. Kaguya is assimilated by liquified humans at the end of Mokou's chapter, Anyone fed the Slave Drug is turned into a zombie that requires specialized air tanks to live, and to power Patchouli Robo; the Marisa Yukkuri sacrifices itself using its' filling to make fuel. Also the humans whose flesh makes Yagokoro Rapid Drugs (Fully heals party). And the humans who are hooked up to the psuedo [[DaikaijuuMonogatari Bio Base]].]]

** [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/pool/show/778 The End of the Maiden's Illusion]] has this troper crying every time he even thinks about it.

*** For those of you how are tired of a Sakuya dieing, and like their tear jerker with a side of nightmare fuel; [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/1007524/ try this]].

* Why in the name of all that's holy do we not have Gensou Koumuten here?
** Because were all too busy crying and baking under his glory. Perhaps the most tear jerking ones is Flandre breaking apart and Rumia's imperfect metamorphosis

* From the 1.5 hours or so of fanvid of doujinshi ''[[http://youtube.com/watch?v=DxtTNsn6C2w Touhou Little Reimu]]'' is one of the most tearjerking, heartfelt stories [[ThisTroper this troper]] has ever encountered.

* [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/919702/airplane-alternate_wings-animal-apple-ascot-bear-b This]] image provides good clue to how Flandre really feels mixed with a small dose of HighOctaneNightmareFuel. It really makes one start to question her insanity.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4p1kkuM2Hg COOL&CREATE]] puts a tragic twist on the shy kappa Nitori, when she falls in love with a human.

** Amida Kuzu's long line of Mokou doujins includes one where she inevitably outlives Keine.

** {{Yuri}} couplings get them, too. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCN3iJ_Mvzs A video]] of one with Alice.
