A [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6793019/1/Touhou_Tsukuribanashi Touhou Fanfiction]] set between the games 'Mystic Square' and 'Embodiment of Scarlet Devil'. While acting as a bit of a link between the two era's, it's mostly its own, self-contained story, with few characters from the games making an appearance to make room for the {{Original Character}} villains ([[AndZoidberg And Shujiko]]).

The sequel, ''Tsugi Monotgatari'', beginning right after EoSD ends, starts off with Shujiko taking a stroll through the forest and encounters an insane youkai devouring a human. Later, she arrives at Hakurei Shrine, badly wounded, and the insane youkai turns out to be an accomplice to an equally sadistic girl, and a mysterious man with past connections to Yuuka Kazami and Mima, whose goal appears to be plunge Gensokyo into total chaos.

* {{Expy}}: Unintentional, but many of the OC's strongly parallel the characters of ''Embodiment of Scarlet Devil'':
** Remilia/Christina: The Mistress of the Mansion
** Flandre/[[spoiler: Rena: The Crazy Sister of the Mistress]]
** Sakuya/Lyra: The devoted Maid, with Lyra originally literally being an exact clone in appearance.
** Patchouli/Anya: The Librarian. Patchouli has health problems, Anya has pain problems (As in, she can't take a light bump without bawling)
** [[FanNickname China]]/Tara. The Gatekeeper of the mansion (Although technically, Tara maintains a barrier around the mansion, Anya doubles as the Gatekeeper, and Tara is probably closer to Meira as an Expy).

* BoatLights: Anya has a blue eye and a green eye, the latter covered by an eye patch since her peripheral sight is horrendous, and doesn't like glasses.

* ShoutOut: Mima [[TheBerserker channelling]] [[KingdomHearts Sai'x]] during her fight with Rena, and Artimus chanelling [[{{Bleach}} Aizen]] in the sequel.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Despite not having reached Perfect Cherry Blossom chronologically yet, there's still plenty of PC-98 or OriginalCharacters to go around.

''Tropes used in Touhou Tsukuribanashi''

* [[spoiler: HeelFaceTurn: Rena resolves to atone for her crimes after realising what a crazy, jealous bitch she was.]]

* HumansAreBastards: [[spoiler: Christina and Rena done nothing to deserve their hate, and were feared simply because they were youkai.]]
* [[spoiler: RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Rena's goal is to completely destroy Gensokyo when 'ambient magic reaches its peak at the full moon', which will result in a world-destroying backlash of power when Reimu is killed, as revenge for the humans killing her and nearly Christina as well.]]

* [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway What Kind of Lame Power is Hair Manipulation Anyway?]]: the ability of Christina and Rena. They can change the length and colour of their hair at will, and others if they come into contact. According to Christina, she can grow more than just head hair... [[spoiler: Also serves as a hint to their connection]].

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: What happens to [[spoiler: Flandre]] by chapter 11 of Tsugi Monogatari.

* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: Rena]] gets one when Mion shows her images of a blood-soaked village, then Christina has one when [[spoiler: Lyra dies]] a few minutes later.

The story begins when a mysterious, red-haired girl attacks Reimu Hakurei, Marisa Kirisame and Mima at the Hakurei Shrine, successfully defeating them before kidnapping Reimu. Marisa and Mima, enraged at their defeat (and possibly also at Reimu being kidnapped) set out with Genji to find the assailant, beat her up and foil her evil plans, which are a tad darker than the norm.

The sequel, Tsugi Monogatari, takes place two months later (After EoSD), and is much darker, and pretty much splits the story into an AU.

Tsugi Monotgatari, beginning right after EoSD ends, starts off with Shujiko taking a stroll through the forest and encounters an insane youkai devouring a human. Later, she arrives at Hakurei Shrine, badly wounded, and the insane youkai turns out to be an accomplice to an equally sadistic girl, and a mysterious man with past connections to Yuuka Kazami and Mima...

!! These stories contains examples of:
* AxCrazy: Mion and Kathy. Mion loves to kill, Kathy loves eating everyone she finds.
* AuthorAppeal: Rena's long hair, Anya's eye patch, and Mion's ribbons.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: What happens to [[spoiler: Flandre]] by chapter 11 of Tsugi Monogatari.

* CuteWitch: Marisa, naturally.
* DarkerAndEdgier: While not explicitly intended to be a DarkFic, Tsukuribanashi does have rather tragic pasts for the 'villains', although it's still fairly light-hearted. The Sequel, on the other hand...

* GratuitousJapanese: The titles, and one or two spell cards

* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: Rena]] gets one when Mion shows her images of a blood-soaked village, then Christina has one when [[spoiler: Lyra dies]].

* ShoutOut: Mima [[TheBerserker channelling]] [[KingdomHearts Sai'x]] during her fight with Rena, and Artimus chanelling [[{{Bleach}} Aizen]] in the sequel.

* {{Tsundere}}: Marisa acts this way whenever someone (usually Genji) teases her about how she really feels about the shrine maiden.

* WorfEffect: Lyra is stated to be very powerful, yet is said to be weaker than Rena, would no doubt have lost to Marisa and Mima had they fought, was easily beaten by Yuuka (which is understandable), and was [[spoiler: killed by Mion, albeit with Artimus' help.]] On another note, Rena is also stated to be quite strong, but hasn't displayed phenomenal levels of strength beyond a surprise attack at the beginning of Tsukuribanashi.

* [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway What Kind of Lame Power is Hair Manipulation Anyway?]]: the ability of Christina and Rena. They can change the length and colour of their hair at will, and others if they come into contact. According to Christina, she can grow [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean more than just head hair...]] [[spoiler: Also serves as a hint to their connection]].
