This will be a day early, but I feel it's mandatory to post while it's still fresh in the mind.
It's been 20 years since the first release of the Touhou fairy manga, Sangetsusei. The first chapter, under a rather short lasting illustrator, released on March 26th, 2005, introducing the world to the Three Fairies of Light. A year later, the illustrator would change, leading to the iconic appearance of the fairies drawn by Makoto Hirasaka.
The manga lasted quite a while once the new illustrator took over too, all the way to 2019 (with a few hiatuses over time). The final run of course saw the addition of Clownpiece to the main cast, leading to great extra interactions.
This also serves as a reminder then that, if you haven't already, please go read the manga. It still stands as the best of the Touhou manga, a simple tale of cute girls experiencing the world and having fun. Additional mandatory reading is the bonus non-canon/semi-canon doujins published under the group Clash House by Makoto Hirasaka, which cover a decent amount more of the fairies' stories (including a story on how they met).
And now for links for convenience, to both the main manga and the most important of the doujin works.

We also need some fairy mood music, so it's Three Fairies SAY YA!! This song is pure love for the fairy manga. Tons of references to every small scene with a nice catchy tune.
