In addition to its many laughs, horrors and beautiful moments, Gensokyo also has quite a few stories of heartbreak.
Line 8:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auYma2tRjz8 Mokou's] backstory is tragic enough, especially when paired with her [[Crowning Music of Awesome|theme song]].
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=majdtmwRWfU Yuyuko's] backstory is just as bawl-worthy. Her ability was, at first, to manipulate spirits of the dead. As time went on, it grew stronger and stronger, to the point of being able to will death onto mortals. Terrified of her ability, she committed suicide, and her body was used to seal off a misfortune-bringing tree, which later lead to the events of ''Perfect Cherry Blossom''.
** The fan manga [[
* While this is a fanwork, Cool&Create's ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40fwAWEiE3M&feature=response_watch S Complex]'' puts a really tragic spin on the less memorable Aki sister, Shizuha. {{spoiler|She loves her sister dearly, but feels left out and lonely because Minoriko is constantly being invited to feasts. Harsh words are said, and Shizuha's heart is broken}}.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMPQWjb0rZo Double Scarlet] tells a story about the Scarlet Sisters. {{spoiler|At the beginning, Flandre and Remilia are lonely, so, with the help of Patchouli Knowledge, they go conquering lands and make friends with Sakuya Izayoi and Hong Meiling after [[Defeat Means Friendship|besting them in battle]]. Over time, though, Flandre becomes more distant from Remilia, and is locked up in the basement. Patchouli shows Remilia a picture depicting the sisters holding hands that Flandre drew. Overcome with guilt, Remilia runs into the basement [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|and shares a tearful and apologetic hug with the sister she's been ignoring for some time]]}}.
* The [[Doujinshi|fancomic]] ''Red Sky of Japonesia'', where Shikeiki passes judgement on Remilia for her crimes against her sister, has a massive double whammy in its second half: {{spoiler|first, Shikeiki defeats Remilia in danmaku combat ''very'' thoroughly, [[Break the Haughty|completely shattering Remilia's facade of being an arrogant, in-control vampiress]] and causing her to scream for help in ''exactly the same way her sister did'' while locked in the basement, and [[My God, What Have I Done?|making her realise the weight of what she did to her own sister]]; the second whammy comes when Flandre interrupts Shikeiki's judgement to ''forgive'' her sister of the crime of locking her away out of fear of her power to destroy, [[Taking the Bullet|absorbing Shikeiki's danmaku barrage]] and giving her sister a tearful hug.}} It's difficult to hold the tears in after that.
* [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 [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel]]. It really makes one start to question her insanity.
* A [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHRpwZeJ7xk remix] of the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdqV14_q6-s&NR=1 ever-popular Cirno's Perfect Math Class] song turns something cute, playful, and cheerful into a depressing scenario of a grown-up Cirno being [[Put
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CRLDxNEV1g A yukkuri's] story has never been more heart wrenching.
* The final stage of the fangame ''Concealed The Conclusion'', where it is revealed that {{spoiler|Reimu is dying, and when she dies, [[Dream Apocalypse|all of Gensokyo will go with her]]. After battling through countless foes, Marisa, perhaps Reimu's greatest friend, has to face her down in one final danmaku duel}}.
* Gensokyo being home to many races, there are naturally countless fan works dealing with [[We Are
** [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.
** 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.
