Here begins my retelling of the story of Hou Yi and Chang'e. It's possibly the most popular legend in China and, as such, there are numerous versions, which all hit certain tentpole beats, but diverge mainly on how these two felt about each other. The contentiousness of that point is what fascinates me most about this tale.

Because it's Love & Viscera, there's also a shout-out to my boy, the Puck! Welcome to my headcanon, enjoy.
