''[http://usuallydead.com/ Touhou Ibunshu]'' is a completed [[Fan Fiction]] series by Tyler "usuallydead" Lovell. It is, as the name suggests, an adaptation of the ''[[
The series is ''heavily'' [[Alternate Universe Fic|Alternate Universe]], with some of the more drastic changes being the removal of universal flight, danmaku reduced to single-use spellcards, Reimu and Marisa having their [[Power Levels]] dropped to bottom tier (Reimu has to ''borrow'' spellcards from Marisa), and the fact that everyone is speaking English. Furthermore, many things are [[Dark Fic|far darker than normal]], with [[Youkai]] that don't simply threaten to [[To Serve Man|eat people]], what little combat there is being swift and brutal, and characters entirely willing to use any [[Story-Breaker Power|Story Breaker Powers]] to their full extent. Regardless, [[Earn Your Happy Ending|earning a happy ending]] is never impossible.
Line 54:
* [[Innocent Prodigy]]: Akyu. {{spoiler|A reincarnation of a woman who dedicated her life to recording the history of Gensokyo.}} What prevents her from being [[Wise Beyond Their Years]] is that, despite her intelligence and power, she still carries many childish traits.
* [[Intertwined Fingers]]: {{spoiler|Alice and Marisa.}}
* [[Journey to
* [[Knife Nut]]: Sakuya, just like the original, except that here someone capable of [[Time Stands Still|stopping time]] and hurling a knife at your face before you even blink is every bit as intimidating as she can be.
* [[Madwoman in
* [[Magitek]]: The Lunarians.
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: {{spoiler|Yukari.}} Some things never change.
Line 64:
** Regarding the language issue, there's something odd at work there. When Sanae came through the Boundary into Gensokyo, the transition exchanged all of her knowledge of the Japanese language for the English language. She could remember Kanako's name, but not what her ''gohei'' was called or precisely what honorific she used to refer to her father.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: Chapter Seven of ''Remixed Cherry Blossom'' has Sakuya {{spoiler|brutally murdering Reimu and Marisa}}. The following chapter, we get to see [[Motor Mouth|Shanghai]] and [[Smug Snake|Alice]].
* {{spoiler|[[Moses in
* [[Motor Mouth]]: Shanghai
* [[Nobody Over 50 Is Gay]]: Averted (or Inverted, depending on how seriously you take [[Les Yay]]) by Eirin and Kaguya, who are both very much in love with each other and about as [[Really 700 Years Old|over 50 as you can possibly get]].
* [[Non-Indicative Name]]: ''Repose and Inclusive Power'', while interesting, has nothing to do with the fighting game ''Immaterial and Missing Power'', with the exception of the cast of characters and the ''Mugen Shubin'', instead being about Reimu's [[Journey to
* [[The Power of Love]]: All jokes about Marisa's [[Wave Motion Gun|Master Spark]] aside, a lot of the conflicts in the stories are resolved through love, forgiveness, trust, et cetera. The most common guilty party of this is [[The Messiah|Yuyuko]] and [[Miko|Reimu]], though Reimu ''does'' have a harder time forgiving certain people.
** [[Love Makes You Evil|On the flipside]], perhaps half of the conflicts in the stories are started or enabled because some characters made poor decisions in the name of love. This generally goes to show that the perpetrators aren't evil, simply misguided or afraid.
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Many characters, but most of all Flandre, who as with the original can't even ''pretend'' to be mature.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Several ''Touhou'' [[Touhou
* [[Smug Snake]]: Alice Margatroid and Patchoulli Knowledge.
* [[Song Fic]]: On occasion, a character will sing a song from the games with lyrics added to them. They are generally relevant to the character singing or [[Suspiciously Apropos Music|the plot]]. Perhaps the most amusing one being Suika's song of a hero marching forth to defeat an oni, only for his head to be [[Curb Stomp Battle|immediately lopped off.]]
* [[Spin-Off]]: ''Ibunshu'' has two stories that aren't part of the main continuity. ''Erroneous Paradisial Inception'' is the story of how Sanae and the Moriya Shrine got to Gensokyo, told from the point of view of Sanae, who basically has [[The Woobie|crap]] piled [[Yank the Dog's Chain|all over her]] until she [[Break the Cutie|breaks down]] (then pulls herself together and starts kicking ass). The other story, ''Sakurei'', is a [[Porn Without Plot]] between [[Exactly What It Says
* [[Stylistic Suck]]: ''Requim Biblioliphic'' is written by [[Smug Snake|Patchoulli]] and as a result, smothered in [[Purple Prose]]. Tyler admitted in one of his blog entries that on of his favorite parts was trying to find how much [[Purple Prose]] he could shove into the text.
* [[Tempting Fate]]: In ''Remorse in Secession's Nobility'', after Eirin explains the cornerstone behind Eientei's defenses to Reisen, she just ''has'' to say:
