History Fanfic / Gensokyo20XX

* KansaiRegionalAccent:
** In Gensokyo 20XXII, Mokou is supposed to speak in something like this and, like Yuuka's British accent, it is rather diluted.
** Some of Suika's dialect fades in and out of this
* KillTheCutie: Happens in the first, second, and third of Gensokyo 20XX

* MadWomanInTheAttic: A variation of this occurs to Yukari when she goes insane, she gets better.

* CoitusEnsues: As soon as they relocate to a cave in the Okuchichibu Mountains, in chapter 34, Ran and Ren start doing the two back beast, in which Suika walks in on them doing and in which they continue when she leaves them alone. Justified, in that they were in a cave, so they don't really have much privacy, unless, everyone ignores the noises they're making (this is implied that is what the rest of them save Suika is doing), and there is no where to escape to.

* IllGirl: Sakuya, who has radiation sickness.

%%* IllGirl:

* IllGirl: Reimu is this in ''Reimu's Illness'' and a critically ill one at that.
** Flandre was one to some extent being that she had turn into a human with Xeroderma Pigmentosum and anemia

* IllGirl: Reimu was this during the final events of the first one and throughout the ending events, she has been plagued with colds, depression, and various other ailments, even lack of sleep and appetite, requiring her to take so many medications to no avail. Ultimately, she was hospitalized and the doctors did all they really could.
** In 20XXI, Eirin starts to become this when she starts to suffer from some anemic condition caused by stress. Unlike Reimu, she dies before it ultimately does some harm.
** As we later find out in 20XXII, Aya was this, leading her to die of a heart attack and Rumia starts to become this, losing her sight as a result
** While she does not appear but is mentioned, Keine apparently was this, if the flashback at the end of Chapter 21 is to go by. Later confirmed in in chapter 23, where, according to Mokou, she passed away of pneumonia and lumps in her lungs.
** In chapter 42, Koishi has started to become this, as Satori notes that Koishi will need to see a doctor and get some medicine and, apparently, what is causing to fall ill is the fact that they were denied usage of any restrooms and had to go pretty much wherever, thus Koishi would have indubitably been under constant exposure to and, possibly, will have been eating[[labelnote:Note]]Satori did mention that there are times where Koishi thinks and, more often that not, times where she just goes by impulse[[/labelnote]] her own as well as everyone else's feces

%%* {{Kitsune}}: Ran, her lovers, and her babies.

* AdultFear:
** Played definitely straight in both Gensokyo 20XX and 20XXI in that the thought of having your surrogate child all alone without in a time where you could run the risk of being apprehended or the fact that she may be apprehended and possibly executed and, in the second one, being separated from your offspring and not knowing will happen to them.
** In chapter 12 in Gensokyo 20XXII, knowing two of three of your babies have died not too long after being forcibly separated from you and knowing a small child is being doped up by force with tranquilizers every three hours for screaming.
** In ''Reimu's Illness'', the thought of your child dying from multiple potentially fatal illness and feeling so helpless
*** A later example in the series is 20XXIV, in chapter 9 with Reimu crawling off, right into danger, and, later on, in chapter 28, we have Chen who is attacked no sooner than when she goes outside and the resulting attack leaves her with her left arm and leg paralyzed from nerve damage and incontinent. What makes either of them worse is the former was conditioned not to sense danger and the latter because someone/thing was lying in wait when they attacked Chen and it was going for the kill.
** Earlier in 20XXIV, this Played disturbingly realistically straight in chapter 11, where Ran, someone Reimu trusts, has gone insane, takes her and brings her somewhere and leaves her there die before opting suicide, effectively committing a murder suicide. Yuuka surmises this accurately:
---> '''Yuuka''': Sweet little Reimu wouldn't have known someone she trusted trying to kill her, let alone said person being ill.
** What makes that worse is that this is something that happens quite often in the real world. Children tend to be killed more so by those they trust. Sadly, unlike Reimu, some kids sense something is wrong just when its too late or, rather, they start to feel agitated if not afraid a little before, but Reimu is like most children and worse, she doesn't even have a sense of danger and wouldn't have suspected something from the start.
** Chen's suicide attempt
** From Gensokyo 20XXV, we have Reimu almost dying after consuming rat poison.
** What a poltergeist does with Reimu, that is, spiriting her away. Of course, this really blows a head when she is spirited away from her crib whilst she is asleep and it was like she was barely there and they do not find her until after the poltergeists are vanquished. Also,one of said poltergeists is attacking the children, even to the point of almost killing them (the first time is when Yume Ni was scratched on the neck and it came very close to killing her if not rendering her unable to talk and, the second time, the children are chased out while she is throwing things at them, one of which being a table).

* IAteWhat: In Gensokyo 20XXII, chapter 23, the warden and his beer that came from a keg that Kaguya and Mokou mixed urine in. He doesn't find out its urine and probably assumed the beer had gone sour.

%%* {{Diary}}: The point of this series

* NeverSayDie: Usually played with. In some cases, euphemisms for being dead like "Amongst the stars" for example are used but, in ohter cases they actually say die or passed away.

* NotSoDifferent: It was noted, at some point, that Ran couldn't understand why the humans would abandon their children, yet she notes that youkai do the same.

* MoralDilemma: Somewhat. Ran is deciding on how to go about eating when there are more than her mouth to feed. How this is played about is that she needs to eat in order conserve her milk supply in order to feed her babies (which are apparently newborns) but, all the while, Reimu and Chen have to eat. She notes that she envies Yukari for not having that sort of dilemma.

* AdultFear: Played definitely straight in both Gensokyo 20XX and 20XXI in that the thought of having your surrogate child all alone without in a time where you could run the risk of being apprehended or the fact that she may be apprehended and possibly executed and, in the second one, being separated from your offspring and not knowing will happen to them.

*** And the fact that she later attempts suicide.
*** Earlier in 20XXIV, this Played disturbingly realistically straight in chapter 11, where Ran, someone Reimu trusts, has gone insane, takes her and brings her somewhere and leaves her there die before opting suicide, effectively committing a murder suicide. Yuuka surmises this accurately:

** What makes that worse is that this is something that happens quite often in the real world. Children tend be killed more so by those they trust. Sadly, unlike Reimu, some kids sense something is wrong just when its too late or, rather, they start to feel agitated if not afraid a little before, but Reimu is like most children and worse, she doesn't even have a sense of danger and wouldn't have suspected something from the start.

* AnyoneCanDie: Yes, even an immortal like [[spoiler: Eirin]] is no exception to this.

%%* AnimeHair / ImplausibleHairColor: Yes, true to most of the characters in the ''Franchise/TouhouProject''.

* [[BigBrotherInstinct Big Sister Instinct]]: If her narration in 20XXI is to go by, this is how Suika feels about Reimu and will not tolerate any harm to her.

* BreakTheCutie: In Gensokyo 20XX, Reimu when the stress of waiting for Yukari takes a toll on her health, mind, and well-being and again, in 20XXI, after being age regressed to a toddler, when Yukari is locked down in the cellar and Chen goes to be with her.

*** Now, Yuuka, the most optimistic of the group, is broken, causing her to leave Chen in a thicket and never return
*** In chapter 12 of 20XXII, Nitori is broken and attempts suicide but, with Satori's help, she gets better.
* CallBack: The ending in Yukari's narration to Gensokyo 20XXII mirrors what Chen said in chapter 53 of Gensokyo 20XXI.

* DeniedFoodAsPunishment: In Gensokyo 20XX, when it is told from Yukari's POV, she mentioned that their captors sometimes "forgot" to feed them.

* DrivenToSuicide: In the Gensokyo 20XXI, Eirin for reasons mostly unsaid, besides, "Is it wrong to want to feel death, even though if one cannot experience it?" , though it is hinted to be from the stress and uncertainty of their situation and, possibly, depression. Though, besides the aforementioned, she might have also killed herself as a way of escaping potential capture.

*** Recently, in chapter 42, Koishi has started to become this, as Satori notes that Koishi will need to see a doctor and get some medicine and, apparently, what is causing to fall ill is the fact that they were denied usage of any restrooms and had to go pretty much wherever, thus Koishi would have indubitably been under constant exposure to and, possibly, will have been eating[[labelnote:Note]]Satori did mention that there are times where Koishi thinks and, more often that not, times where she just goes by impulse[[/labelnote]] her own as well as everyone else's feces

** Chen also does this later on.
*** In 20XXII, Ran gives one to Satori and Koishi should they tell about her snooping through the files.

* KansaiRegionalAccent: In Gensokyo 20XXII, Mokou is supposed to speak in something like this and, like Yuuka's British accent, it is rather diluted.

* {{Kitsune}}: Ran, her lovers, and her babies.

* TheNicknamer: Apparently, Mokou, to a low extent, in Gensokyo 20XXII.
** Before she died in 20XXI, there was Flandre, having the mentality of a five-year old.
*** Yuuka does occasionally refer to Ran to as "Ducksie" and generally everyone as "dear" or "sweetheart".

* VitriolicBestBuds: Yuuka and Eirin are more less this, as they do spend a bit of time being subtly hostile to each other but are nonetheless on good terms and they do care for each other.

* YouAreWorthHell: In chapter 43 of Gensokyo 20XXII, Kaguya's reason for not escaping when given the chance, stating she couldn't stand freedom if it meant being alone and leaving behind Mokou, her sister.
*** In general, this is Yukari's reason for some of her decisions she makes (namely, choosing to be "the warden's lover"), especially in 20XXII.

* InformedDeformity / InformedFlaw: According to Chen, in chapter 1, Suika calls Yukari this because, was, at the time, a bit lazy and would eat a bit before hibernation, even though, aside from that, Yukari wasn't fat. Then again, as Chen mentioned, she also calls Yuyuko that and Yuyuko is fat (fat enough to take up five seats at the movie theatre)

* NoNameGiven: Ran's lover and, later on, Reimu's mother

* {{Jerkass}}: Seija, aptly called Seija the Motherfucker

* AttemptedRape: This happens to Ran during a blizzard
* BreakTheCutie: This happens to Ran.

* BungledSuicide: See the ArtisticLicenseBiology entry above. Ran's suicide by slitting her wrists attempts all fail because A)she wasn't cutting in a way that hit major arteries or was cutting incorrectly and B) she attempted this sort of thing in the snow, which caused her blood to clot and the blood vessels to pull back.
** Chen's suicide attempt.

** Actually, this is really noted in Chapter 60 where Reimu saw Chen attempt suicide and can't make sense of it and, later on, two chapters later, it is noted that Chen couldn't wrap her head around why Ran changed.

* CoitusEnsues / CoitusUninterruptus: As soon as they relocate to a cave in the Okuchichibu Mountains, in chapter 34, Ran and Ren start doing the two back beast, in which Suika walks in on them doing and in which they continue when she leaves them alone. Justified, in that they were in a cave, so they don't really have much privacy, unless, everyone ignores the noises they're making (this is implied that is what the rest of them save Suika is doing), and there is no where to escape to.
* DrivenToSuicide: Ran in chapter 9, after a near-miss with a rogue male kitsune. According to Mokou, she's attempted suicide more than twice by slitting her wrists. She fails at it nonetheless.

* KillTheCutie: Sakuya

* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: Mokou in chapter 60
* WhamEpisode: Chapter 60.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality / ChildrenAreInnocent: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] on BlueAndOrangeMorality trope. Ran actually notes a realistic variant in that children think what they do is right, while, to adults, it is wrong, being they are innocent and ignorant to what sort of dangers there are and explains why they need to be guided, as well as the fact they must be protected from their own madness that their innocence will push them into.

* [[BrokenSmile Broken]]/TearfulSmile: Reimu's smile in chapter 67.
* CanineCompanion: In chapter 12, Yukari makes note of the fact that a pug has taken up residence in her lobby when she performs her landlady duties and, after trying unsuccessfully to make it leave, she accepts and welcomes its company.

** Amoridere did state that some semblance of a CrapsackWorld can be seen in the how the children behave, making a reference to WesternAnimation/SouthPark when she compared the two.
-->'''Amoridere''': On the note of the swearing, which they do on a fairly normal basis, well, I suppose it could serve as an allegory or representation of the world and life's state, the world being a crapsack. As a matter of fact, the kids are also not necessarily immune to violence and neither do they have much holding back when they use it, let alone any qualms about using it.I mean, think about it this way, sure, when the kids swear on South Park, it is supposed to be seen as funny, but, at the same time, seeing all of the other stuff they do besides swearing (like bullying, stealing, and various other things that kids have no business doing) and doing whatever the hell they want to do whenever they wanna do it, it could show as to how useless their parents are, as well as the fact they're world is also a crapsack.

* DrivenToSuicide: From chapter 15, apparently, Satori was contemplating suicide.

* GroinAttack: An gives this Yume Ni twice

* LastWords: ''"Shister..."''

* MakeAWish: This was the subject in ''Chapter 100: Wish''
* MayflyDecemberRomance / MayDecemberRomance: According to chapter 64, Ren's father is older than Yukari and very old for a kitsune, thus nearing the end of his live.
* MercyKill / MortonsFork: The first serious moment of the story has it where Satori is contemplating overdosing her sister (who was severely injured and is dying as a result) with painkillers but feels horrible for doing so, so she stops but has to face the fact of her suffering in pain. Either way, both will indubitably suffer.

* MouthyKid: The kids, though Reimu has shades of this even more so.
* NoodleIncident: A couple that Ran mentioned was the time with the flowers (which is pretty much under one of the reasons as to why the children can't play outside)and the time with the lead pipe, something she notes that "she would be damned if she let that happen again".

*** Averted in the case of the Mokou's meth-lab explosion, in that is really no mystery as to how that happened. [[labelnote:Note]] TruthInTelevision, actually, as the ingredients used to make methamphetamine are known to be explosive, so there is no explanation necessary, as there have been accounts of meth labs exploding or otherwise catching fire because of that.[[/labelnote]]

** According to Chapter 38, Baka taunted Reimu with food and Reimu responded by causing him injury, but how is never really said, though it has been implied that she caused injury by biting if not scratching.
*** From said chapter, comes the time with the rocks and the head injury from Ren's childhood, something he cited as a reason why Baka shouldn't be allowed to watch children.

* ReducedToRatburgers: Still and Yukari notes that she has grown tired of eating those. According to chapter 4, ''good'' food is rare and it was noted that canned food is somewhat of a commodity.

* TheSleepless / ForgetsToEat: Ran, according to preview for chapter 13. It is a mystery as to why/how she didn't suffer any ill effects from not eating or sleeping for over 72 hours.
* TheStoner: Mokou, aptly called "Methhead Mokou"
* TimeDelayedDeath: Koishi was injured by someone or some thing and it takes some time for her die.

* [[WhenYouComingHomeDad When Are You Coming Home Mom?]] / ParentalSubstitute: From what we see, Ran taking care of the children is mostly commonplace as Yukari is a landlady and Ren is probably busy with something or he could be taking care of their newborns, either or which is never said, though it is clear he is doing something. The children don't seem too affected by it, as they are probably used to it.
** According to preview for chapter 13, which has him telling Ran she should rest, he does seem to have something to do but otherwise isn't too far away where he cannot be reached should he be needed. It was stated in one of the earlier chapters that he is usually out doing something but is never far.

* WildChild: In chapter fourty-three, the children, when found after being searched for for over a few months, are more or less like this. Though, it was noted that they would be easier to rehabilitate, as they haven't been in the wild for that long of time.

* WrongSideOfTheTracks: Apparently, anywhere that isn't overrun with forest is like this. According to Amoridere, there seems to be an abundant of waste dumps not too far away from where they live and that the air is from time to time polluted, making them more of like industrial slums. On the other hand, they are also [[WretchedHive Wretched Hives]] because of the abundance of drugs and prostitution, as well as gunfights and the fact that apparently landmines are being place about (Reimu is noted to have tripped one).

* BloodyHandPrint: Yes, actually, the first signs of the entities' presence is these.
* CallBack: To Gensokyo 20XXIV
* DoubleMeaning: From Yukari's POV: "Lover" is a euphemism, be that noted.

* Main/{{Poltergeist}}: Yes, actually, in they are the common definition of term and they start out fairly malevolent
** By chapter 75, they start out a tad passive but then they get out of hand

* SwitchingPOV: This chapter is narrated from at least six if not seven points of views.
** Chapter 75 is apparently narrated by ten point of views.

* CompanionCube: Sakuya's diary apparently, being that she addresses it directly almost whenever she writes.

* DeadManWriting: Keine's final entry
* {{Diary}}: The point of this series

* IllGirl: Keine and, true to the main storyline, she dies.

* LawOfInverseFertility / ConvenientMiscarriage: Sakuya pursues a romance and ends up unknowingly pregnant but miscarries, finding out she's pregnant only after going to a doctor over the symptoms of the miscarriage.

* ThatWasTheLastEntry: There is usually some entry written right before they died but the one that seems to stick out is the final entry in Sanae's diary.
** Then there is Miko's final entry which would be a reconstruction in that it is final entry on the account that she was losing her eyesight, not because she died.

* TheReveal: Keine's diary revealed that Kaguya messed up her foot (along with her leg) during the tricycle incident mentioned during the events of Gensokyo 20XXIV.

* TheRival: Reimu's mother is this to Yukari and vice versa

* DotingParent / ParentsAsPeople: Downplayed in that Ran is only doting in terms of allowing the tantrums to continue and or originally thinking to pacify or apologize for them, and is trying her hardest to cope with them. After some time, she gets tired and just walks out, leaving Chen alone for a week, while she has time to herself.
** Of course, in the sequel it was touched upon that she ''does'' dote on Chen and it may have contributed to her behaving horribly some time before
* EnfantTerrible: Chen with her tantrums. In the sequel, she does gain a partner in crime, Marisa Kirisame
* GrewASpine: Ran in the sequel.

* SpoiledBrat / OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Chen behaved like one in ''The Tantrum Phase'' and it is noted how troubling that is in her and the fact that she hasn't behaved that way before.
** Amoridere later states that Chen was going through a bratty phase at the time.

* CheerfulChild: Flandre and Chen are these to some extent.
* CoolBigSis: How Chen and Flandre see Reimu
* HappilyAdopted: Reimu and Flandre is this to some extent

* NoNameGiven: The kitsune Ran goes on a date with

* CorporalPunishment/ DontMakeMeTakeMyBeltOff: When they are finally caught, Ran opts to spank them with a leather belt but hands it to Yukari who does it instead.

* GreyAndGrayMorality: Humans and Youkai

%%* AnyoneCanDie: Yes

* InfantImmortality: Reimu, Chen, three of Ran's babies, and Shinmyoumaru "Shimmy" Sukuna survive when the bombs are dropped.

* InfantImmortality: Yukari finds a young Maribel and Renko in a devastated Tokyo and apparently they were the only two survivors there.

* InfantImmortality: Averted and played straight in that it Flandre (technically a child) who dies where as a now age regressed Reimu who lives, despite taking a fall that will have otherwise killed her (it rendered her crippled, though).
** Most of Team ⑨ save Rumia has been killed.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar/ DoubleMeaning: From Yukari's POV: "Lover" is a euphemism, be that noted.

!The series in General:

* AnyoneCanDie: Yes

* AnimeHair / ImplausibleHairColor: Yes, true to most of the characters in the [[{{VideoGame/Touhou}} Touhou Project]]

* TogetherInDeath: Reimu and Yukari
* WildChild: Reimu

* FatGirl: Yuyuko, again, same as always.

* FatBastard: In Gensokyo 20XXII, the warden is described as this by Kaguya, as she describes him as being a "fat disgusting bastard" and "fat ass" during chapter 35
* FatGirl: Yuyuko, to the extent that she's a sumo wrestler.
