Summary: Akyuu writes a rare addendum to the Chronicle, one of its many subjects requiring additional consideration- the Shrine Maiden herself. A gift for @que-de-metal as part of Touhou Secret Santa 2023 https://touhousecretsanta.tumblr.com/ @touhousecretsanta!

HOLY CRAP HAPPY HOLIDAYS @que-de-metal!!!! I am sooooo sorry this is so late (but still within the deadline, Reimu would be proud), but when I received your prompt I had the dawning realisation that I had somehow never read any of the material with Akyuu in them! Lol, and so began a madcap dash to read all of Forbidden Scrollery and get a feel for how she writes the Chronicle. As a result I worry it may be a little slapdash, but I hope you enjoyed it regardless.

Well, it’s a little tragic. I hope it’s a ‘hurts so good’ kind of tragic that only serves to strengthen the positive. You did mention 'pining’ in your prompt, maybe I took that too far. It’s also not very christmassy… I might have missed the point entirely here. lol

Thank you for giving me a character I wasn’t too familiar with, though! Forbidden Scrollery is a great read and as a hopeless Yukari addict the final volume had me hollering. Apparently the series is the only touhou media to officially be published in english- I had to rush out and buy the whole thing when I learned that.

Apologies again for keeping you waiting so long! I hope you had a great year and a great Secret Santa, and here’s to 2024!

Hello @acerenastuff! I was your @touhousecretsanta secret santa this year! I made an animatic based on the story of Dolls in Pseudo Paradise, and tried to include your idea of Jacketko and Labelko dancing I really, really liked the way you described the idea of Jacketko dancing with Labelko but like how a villain would drag the protagonist into a dance during their villain song, so i tried to do that here though it ended up being a very short part of the entire thing oops Overall this ended up being a lot more work than i had anticipated at first, and i ended up redoing stuff a ton because i wanted it to be perfect, and even though i still feel like there's a lot thats not great (the part showing some of the deaths especially, i am embarrased about how that part turned out lmao) but i hope you're still able to enjoy this. Dolls in Pseudo Paradise is very cool!

Hello @sonofdysonsphere! I'm your @touhousecretsanta for this year, and I have brought you a fanfic featuring Marisa and Alice which you can read at AO3!

Thank you for being patient, and I hope you enjoy!

Hi @guccisystem!! I was your @touhousecretsanta this year! You mentioned liking Yukari/Yuyuko, Yukari/Reimu, and Yukari/Ran, so here's Yukari giving holiday gifts to her partners - it was really fun to draw!
