History Fanfic / DolphinRiderKoishi

* OriginalCharacters: Sango Tororetsu and Jozu Manou, dolphin and shark youkai respectively, both of whom debuted in non-AU fic by the same author (though Jozu's personality is quite different).

* WeaponOfChoice
** HeroesPreferSwords: [[spoiler: Satori, Koishi's [[MidSeasonUpgrade Ocean Princess form]]]]
** BareFistedMonk: [[spoiler:Mokou]]
** DeathDealer: [[spoiler:Sakuya]]
** HandCannon: [[spoiler:Komachi]]
** [[spoiler:DualWielding: Youmu, Nazrin]]
* WebSerialNovel

* AtlantisIsBoring: Averted. Youkai society is dominated by sea-dwellers due to their greater population and lower need to hide from humans.

** ProngsOfPoseidon[=/=]WhipItGood: Koishi. [[spoiler:Her SuperMode instead uses [[HeroesPreferSwords a sword]]]]

-->"And what's life like in the real world? Well, imagine [[EveryoneIsASuper everyone you ever knew had some sort of superpower or magical ability]]. Everyone in your class is some sort of {{magical girl}}, and they all look like it as well - [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair crazy hair]], [[TechnicolorEyes weird eye colours]], and in your case [[ThirdEye an extra eye on top of the two you've already got]]. But again, no-one realises it, so all of that magic just goes to waste."
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:Rinnosuke]]

* PotHole: Freqently used to link to pictures, [[VirtualSoundtrack background music]] or [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife trope pages]].

A completed WebSerialNovel which follows [[AlternateUniverseFic alternate versions]] of ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' characters in a MagicalGirlWarrior story. Better than it sounds, with well-expressed characters and creative reinterpretations of {{Canon}} and {{Fanon}} elements. Can be read [[http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,6913.0.html here]], with [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7082391/1/Dolphin_Rider_Koishi a less complete version]] readable on Website/FanFictionDotNet. Finally completed on 24 November 2013 after three long years.

See ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' for tropes carried over from canon, and the [[Characters/DolphinRiderKoishi character sheet]] for character-specific tropes.

!!Tropes in ''FanFic/DolphinRiderKoishi'' include:

* AlternateUniverseFic

* CallingYourAttacks
* CardSharp: Sakuya and Tewi.
* TheChosenOne: The Sirens.

----

* ComboPlatterPowers: The Sirens, who unlock their own latent powers in addition to gaining MagicalGirl powers.
--> In order:

* MundaneUtility: [[TimeStandsStill Stopping time]] is quite useful [[CardSharp when gambling]].

* [[PowerDyesYourHair Power Dyes Your Hair To The Color It Had In Canon]]; and even if this trope isn't currently in effect, odds are the girl(s) in question will still have artificial highlights.

** [[spoiler:Sakuya's also apparently been uses to JumpScare Youmu at her dojo. It eventually lost its effect.]]

* [[spoiler: SadisticChoice: The blade Aptera was created by Yukari to destroy the Ravager, but requires an entire race's worth of magic to use. Draining either the magic of all humans or all youkai would seemingly lead to disaster in either case. Koishi works out how to TakeAThirdOption.]]

* [[spoiler: SoulJar: Teardrops can act like them, as in the case of Shou.]]

* [[spoiler:WalkingTheEarth[=/=]AndTheAdventureContinues: During the finale, Koishi and Sango decide to travel the world and do good while their friends take care of things in Gensokyo.]]

* [[spoiler: YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Rinnosuke]]

UnPaused: When Ran visits the Komeiji house to warn of [[spoiler:Mamizou's attack on the zoo]], Sango, thinking her to be malicious, runs up to attack her, leading Ran to put a stasis field around her so she can talk to Koishi peacefully. Once she leaves, she gets rid of the field, causing Sango to hit nothing and run face-first into a wall.

* TimeStandsStill: Sakuya aside, a [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] example happens when Ran visits the Komeiji house to warn of [[spoiler:Mamizou's attack on the zoo.]] Before she can begin, Sango, thinking her to be malicious, runs up to attack her, leading Ran to put a stasis field around her, essentially freezing Sango in time until she finishes her talk with Koishi.

* RousseauWasRight: Koishi believes that humans ''aren't'' monsters, but rather that circumstances beyond their control sometimes drive them to do terrible things. [[spoiler:The finale, which has humans and youkai living peacefully again, proves her right.]]

* [[spoiler: SadisticChoice: The blade Aptera was created by Yukari to destroy the Ravager, but requires an entire race's worth of magic to use. Draining either the magic of all humans or all youkai would seemingly lead to disaster in either case. Koishi works out how to TakeAThirdOption.]]

* HumansAreFlawed: [[spoiler: A big reason behind Satori's FaceHeelTurn]]
