Fanfiction touhouers of r/touhou: Give me fanfic ideas to write
I have been writing for over a decade but I cannot make myself actually write a story. Please dump your dream stories in the comments so I can write one (or more). Mods delete if this is unsubstantial or wrong flair I just don't know where else I'd ask. happy/fluffy ideas preferred but not exclusively
UPDATE: too many ideas and too little energy i will start with ONE at a time

Rinnosuke as a Gigachad like melee warrior with a different name that instilled fear into all , for his punches could topple any foe he faced with his sword as his sole companion , but then he stopped fighting and became a shopkeeper because he got bored.

Doremy helps Satori to communicate with Koishi's closed-off self by taking them both into the dream world. After that, Satori starts worrying less about Koishi, having more confidence in her sister, and Koishi becomes a bit more open-minded, and starts to actually care about something.
Might be a bit dumb but I had the idea of Satori meeting with Koishi who's third eye isn't closed in a dream for a while so I guess there's no better place to talk about it.

Reimu accidentally stumbled into the world of len'en, the undertale world, ultrakill and faith world all at once and made them fight each other.

Ah, a fellow Ultrakill and Touhou fan. Always nice to see more of my kind.

u/Rili-Anne Rumia Jul 28 '23
too many moving parts for me to really write sadly

u/Heat_Hydra V1 from Ultrakill (Alt Account) Jul 28 '23
What about Ultrakill x Touhou instead?
The idea of Reimu finding a portal to another hell and having to investigate there in case something or someone is planning to create an incident in Gensokyo, only to find they're in a different hell from a different world where mankind is dead because of advanced robots.
And then Reimers and the others decide to follow and understand more of what happened while attacking both the denizens of hell and the robots invading, as they learned more about hell, they all grew more hatred against the robots for killing mankind and indirectly destroying both heaven and hell.
Not only that, they also witness all the badass moments of V1 especially the fight against V2 in 4-1.
Reimu and Marisa brought condolences to Gabriel after his last defeat against V1 and they finally both met up in the last layers of hell to do their own epic battle, danmaku vs infinite-ammo type weapons.
Of course everyone was shocked when v1 parries Reimu's spell card back to her. But in the end V1 was defeated and lives with Remilia in SDM since they both have the desire of blood. Lets just make sure V1 doesn't try to hurt them for their blood.

u/LeeCloud27 Writer Jul 28 '23
Write a story about the Watatsuki sisters and Reisen (the short-haired one). Make it a happy slice of life story where Yorihime and Toyohime act as Reisen's caretakers while Reisen lives her life in the Lunar Capital like normal.

u/Rili-Anne Rumia Jul 28 '23
while I do not generally like the lunarians this sounds like an adorable slice of life opportunity

sadly gonna have to say no, that's WAY too dark for me

u/Nobody91765 バカ Jul 28 '23
Fair. How about a small detective story where people are trying to find out who caused a mass vomiting and possibly explosive diarrhea epidemic after a festival at the Hakurei shrine. (Either Tewi could have snuck some slightly potent poison or Yukari replaced the crab with SCP-666½-J on accident)

Here's a cute one
Chen goes around causing damage while Ran tries to stop her and repair her damage, but there's a plot twist, it was organised by everyone to cover their plan of preparing a birthday party for Ran
Like it could start with reimu and yukari telling Ran there's maybe an incident that is making everyone crazy and while they investigate about it Ran has to stop chen

Uhm...I will say: Mokou, Kaguya and eirin(immortal Girls in 2hu) Trying to survive in a devastated gensokyo after a [X] event with them being the last survivors
3 characters have their own way to deal with this...Some become insane and want to die while some still maintain hope of finding survivors (Shit idea i know)

u/Rili-Anne Rumia Jul 28 '23
while a significantly darker idea than those I nominally handle, I will take this into consideration and probably try. iirc there are already a few things that handle it, at least

Me and my friend made a pretty long fanfic with our OC, Mokou, Kaguya, Eirin, Sakuya, Okina, and several others based on this fic, exploring the nature of the universe, fate, and immortality itself. It's not as good as Alison's, but it's really fun to make!

This doujin is still the peak of all doujins for me. The storytelling and the way they weave together all the pieces to form a singular, connected ending for all the characters involved is amazing.

Eiki Shiki decides to investigate Seiga's activities about making jang shi and taoism influence over Gensokyo in general. It goes against Buddhist principles of a soul continuing the journey in cycle of Rebirth (but this one probably requires research about religions)
2
u/Rili-Anne Rumia Jul 28 '23
my Th13 knowledge is miserably limited but I could definitely try
3
u/etermellis and are the same person theory truther Jul 28 '23
Character profiles on wiki give a good insight about them, if you decide to write it! The main thing about it is that there's a religious conflict between Buddhists and Taoists
2
u/Rili-Anne Rumia Jul 28 '23
The main thing is that I'm not sure if Eiki would intervene... Her job is judging the dead. Though I may have some ideas.
3
u/Ultramar_Invicta Jul 28 '23
If she doesn't intervene directly, she can send an underling as an intercessor. Komachi is right there.

Tewi and the earth rabbits try to overthrow chang'e and free the Lunar rabbits from their endless slavery on the moon. The watatsuki sisters and the eientei gang would help them to overthrow tsukuyomi to raise their power on the moon. It would be nice to see the moon sisters and reisen 2 have at least some kind of development instead of being as shallow as they currently are.

u/Rili-Anne Rumia Jul 28 '23
seems very complex for my First Story but I will bank this for later. udonge is probably involved too

u/KirbyStar58 Master SPARK! Jul 28 '23
This one might be a bit dumb, but Sumireko accidentally ending up in the Lunar Capital, and Yorihime, Toyohime, and Rei'sen try to find a way to get her back home while trying their best to protect her. Maybe they'll end up giving humans a higher approval rating among the Lunarians.
Other idea: A slice of life story featuring Reimu, Marisa, Cirno, Sakuya, Youmu, Reisen, Aya, Sanae, Kokoro, and Sumireko as a "found family"

How about making one about the Touhou girls learning about their fans and how we view them? Or maybe them playing Lostword and writing a review?

u/KyeeLim Chimata Tenkyuu Jul 28 '23
neat, but did Reimu lose a limb, had she used her trusty bonesaw to cut off the infected arm?

u/Rili-Anne Rumia Jul 28 '23
Touhou as a whole is hax in general, but she might if she doesn't have her powers. Scary Hakurei determination

u/TheXenomorphian IM Enthusiast Jul 28 '23
already got my dream story (check flair name)
actually related to that one of the reasons why I liked it was that it explores some of Gensokyo's past incidents and such (something canon REFUSES to do outside of the vague vampire incident) the ancestors of the main characters etcetera and I don't see too many fanfics doing the same either
so yeah maybe write a story set in like a major incident in 1950s, 1910s or 1980s Gensokyo
Some characters you can have (as an idea not a checklist)
-The past Hakurei Shrine Maiden of the era
-Mima, probably beefing with the shrine maiden as usual except maybe she has less chill since she hasn't been as cooled down as she has by SoEW
-The Pierrot from DiPP (I actually think I figured out the whole mystery of the character with help from a youtube comment, other people have too)
-Yukari, can probably be there to help with whatever incident is there
-(generally recommend not making them the main characters) some outside world humans of the time. The three fairies manga shows that at the very least some WW1 soldiers got gapped into Gensokyo as 
-Mokou (Kaguya is still being a NEET at the time)
-Mizuchi (when she was still alive)
-full power Rumia before getting the ribbon
Yumemi is a time traveller and has a time machine so maybe you could have her bring some of the modern characters to the past if you wanna make it that kind of story (though i'd prefer if it was just normal)
i'm running out of steam writing this (i'm tired)
1
u/Rili-Anne Rumia Jul 28 '23
this sounds way too large for me to tackle on the face of it, i have no idea how the Pierrot works anyway
1
Jul 28 '23 edited Jul 28 '23
Tell me more about the pierrot from DiPP if you figured it out
1
u/TheXenomorphian IM Enthusiast Jul 29 '23
I had a longer explanation somewhere let me see if I can find it because honestly i'm not that enthused to explain it again
but basically
Shanghai Alice of Meiji 17 is actually the Pierrot's theme song (they're from the French part of Shanghai as other clues in the story and ZUN's note about the song itself suggest, Meiji 17 was the year of the Sino-French war which notably saw France seeking an alliance with Japan, the alice part is because they fell in through a hole into Gensokyo like Alice in Wonderland) also notably is that the Hakurei Barrier was raised in Meiji 18 the year after
There are other clues that they are french the main one being the fact that its specifically a Pierrot they transform into which is a french clown type thing

A character from Gensokyo accidentally wanders or is forced into the outside world. They then could go through… anything really; falling in love, hiding their magic, having… intercourse, reacting to thin books, hugging/worshipping fumos, or even trying to find a certain old hag to get them home.

Marisa has been cursed. The only way to break it is to survive throughout the day. Every time she dies, she wakes up at the beginning of the day. She is much more likely to die, whereever she goes to try to be safe, she dies.
Like Happy Death Day or Re: Zero, except it's only for one day.

u/Rili-Anne Rumia Jul 28 '23
I could TRY but it'd probably be overly saccharine
1
u/gamerpro56 Jul 28 '23
What does "saccharine" mean in this case? I googled it and it means "excessively sweet". So it's too sweet?
1
u/Rili-Anne Rumia Jul 28 '23
too fluffy silly, yes. marisa dies of the same piano killing her in increasingly convoluted ways
1
u/gamerpro56 Jul 29 '23
Aright, if that doesn't work for you I have another idea.
Youmu tests her speed and goes as fast as she can or she is going fast for a reason you can come up with. She then crashes into a wall.

u/Fellippe314 Jul 28 '23
I had an idea once, which i never managed to make come true. Basically a TF2 x Touhou fanfic with a plot being that Saxton Hale finds out about Gensokyo through comics (and we all know that all the things read in comic books are true) so he sends our favorite mercenaries to find something intresting to capitalize on back there.
Damn now that I type that I feel like this is a stupid idea.

u/Rili-Anne Rumia Jul 28 '23
SAXTON HAAAAAAAthat sounds hilarious but also like a dead end for battle because the touhous would smash the mercs

Not really , Soldier can't die , and if he somehow does , he'll just come back more powerful (lore of TF2 is wild).

Cirno goes to the human world on accident ends up in Catholic school and not believing in fairies or magic. Reimu and Marisa have to retrieve her because her coldness aura makes a special mushroom grow near the misty lake and Marisa needs it.
1
u/Rili-Anne Rumia Jul 28 '23
this one seems a bit hard, especially since yukari would likely snap cirno up and cirno seems like too much of a free spirit to me to lose her soul that easily
plus she might dissolve without said soul
