History FanFic / AFoxInParadise

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Tengu and Oni culture from what we have seen.

* NiceHat: As is standard for Touhou. Suwako's Hat gets a special mention for having ExtraEyes [[EyesDoNotBelongThere where it has no business having any]]. She also seems to use it as part of a spellcard, or at least as a distraction.

!!Tropes:

* YouAreNotAlone: The Moriya to Ayumu.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: The seting has a lot of this, but Sanae is notable case. She was born with black hair, but dyed her hair bright green. When she moved to Gensokyo, it became permanent and her new natural color.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: {{Adorkable}} [[BlowYouAway wind]] [[WhiteMage maiden]] Sanae may be, she is still the daughter of War and Curse goddesses.

A Fox in Paradise is a ''{{Franchise/Touhou}}'' Quest written by Erien on Spacebattles, focusing mostly on Slice of Life and Incident Resolution. It follows Ayumu, a five-tailed fox who has decided to move to Gensokyo rather than fade from existence. Shortly after he meets Sanae, who is looking for a worker to help repair Moriya Shrine in exchange for room and board. An agreement is struck, and Ayumu takes up residence in Moriya Shrine.

* GrowingTheBeard: This story is the author's first writing project. It can be hard to decide what's the moment where the story started to hit its stride.

* NightmareFuel: Quite a bit.
** Suwako, Goddess of Curses, has lots of it. She says that not all curses are harmful, but one of the helpful curses she uses on Ayumu is one of invisibility. The catch?
---> '''Suwako:''' Keep in mind this stops ya from interactin’ with people as well, objects aint so much a problem but people’d just phase through ya for the most part. It’s still a curse.
---> '''Ayumu:''' This was for slow deaths wasn’t it?
---> '''Suwako:''' Let’s just say I’ve fought in many, many wars and leave it at that.
** [[spoiler:Danjuro and the Fusakazu clan. They specialize in Charm to the point where they turn people into thralls that serve only their will. Danjuro in particular had enslaved a fox that had reached nine tails and had begun the ascent to divinity.]]

* TearJerker: ''Yes''.
** When Kanako couldn't wake up Sanae from a nightmare, [[spoiler:because the nightmare made Sanae believe Kanako wasn't real]].

[[spoiler:Ayumu is huddled in cave, freezing cold, low on magic and forced to spend more to keep himself warm. Then a vision of his deceased lil' sister tells him he needs to take care of himself. He is well aware this is either his own magic fooling ''him'', or a property of the cave. He promises not to waste more magic. Satisfied, the illusion of his sister snuggles in next to his side, and he allows her to remain [[BelievingTheirOwnLies because she's warm... and he misses her.]]]]
