"let it take you apart to the elements of praying / till we are only playing to the firmament"

From Wikipedia's page on the Chinese lunar goddess Chang-e, a conversation from shortly before Apollo 11 landed on the moon:

Houston: Among the large headlines concerning Apollo this morning there's one asking that you watch for a lovely girl with a big rabbit. An ancient legend says a beautiful Chinese girl called Chang-o has been living there for 4000 years. It seems she was banished to the Moon because she stole the pill for immortality from her husband. You might also look for her companion, a large Chinese rabbit, who is easy to spot since he is only standing on his hind feet in the shade of a cinnamon tree. The name of the rabbit is not recorded.

Aldrin: Okay, we'll keep a close eye for the bunny girl.

Historical RPF fanfic'ers, your task is clear: "Buzz Aldrin and the Bunny Girl." Hop to it.

(So to speak.)

I'm disappointed in Buzz. Why can he only define a strong female protagonist in terms of who she's in a relationship with?

Or what kind of ears she wears.

...Huh. So *that's* where that manwha came from.

(I am normally pretty judgmental about RPF, but I have to admit that would be an awesome story.)

TITLE PLS. NOW.

Moon Boy by Lee Young-you.

Though I have to say, I didn't think it was that good. Then again, I did read it all the way through, due to some pleasingly id-cracky elements like the angsty friendship of DOOOOM.

The description makes me cautious, but I may need to try it.

(Oh, and I normally stay far, far away from RPF of anyone living, and usually within living memory. But for this, I would make an exception.)
