i think rat eyes has been possessed by everyone who’s waiting for me to update my fic (she looks like this all the time)

[arsionem]

i’m alive guys i swear

and i promise i have not abandoned ☽ moonstruck ☾. i’m still writing, albeit slowly; i just don’t have as much free time as before ;-;

to give you guys some context, i started writing my fic in march 2024, which is when i wrote the bulk of it, but in june i started working full-time and that’s where all my mental energy was going bc new things like that make me very anxious. i’m settled in now, but between july (when i started uploading the fic) and now, i also moved into an apartment, so that was an adjustment. lots of change basically and i’m very bad at keeping habits in the face of change.

but we persevere. idk when the next chapter will be out, but hopefully it’s soon :)

(also!! i got a new cat!! we call her rat-eyes)

[arsionem]

hi, i hope you’re doing well!

i just wanted to let you know that i’ve been really enjoying your xicheng fic and that your version of jc is hella relatable, especially when he was in his suspicious of lxc’s every move era because idk what i would do if i had to deal with the smiley lan being nice and smiley towards me for no apparent reason. i too would think he was planning my downfall.

hello!! o/

i’m doing very well! and i’m so happy you’re enjoying the fic!! writing jc’s pov comes easy to me bc i’m just like him lol. i don’t know what i’d do with a smiley lxc either tho. probably marry him :)

[arsionem]

you know, i didn’t think that lxc could ever be that down bad for jc, but please keep it up it’s what gives me joy.

o7

the amount of love my fic’s lxc gets is so funny bc he’s bonkers. bordering lbh levels of bonkers (i mean same but i digress—) since u guys seemed to rly like the lxc POV, i’m thinking about adding a chapter or two to sunstruck

. . . ya know given my stupid job will stop acting like it pays me enough to prioritize working over writing my smutty little fanfic—but again, i digress (✿◡‿◡)

rereading moonstruck while i wait for the new chapter and im so djhfwjfhowie i'm fairly new to xicheng fics so idk if there's more but this is the first one i read where lan xichen is the one yearning/first in love and it's SO cute (even when he's being super horny)!!!! and the fact that he started liking jiang cheng back when they were younger, ayyyy my heart <333

also i love how you made lxc a little shit but somehow he's still so in characterrrr, amazing!!!

hi!!

i’m so happy you like the fic! my lxc is definitely a character. i don’t know if that was a conscious decision or if i gave him my exact brand of crazy by accident. . . (ᵕ—ᴗ—)

anyway! ive gotten a lot of comments about the way i characterize xicheng (apparently jc isn’t usually so rude or angry in other fics and lxc is ofc a normal and sane person lmao). i got into mdzs last march and started writing the fic almost immediately bc i loved jc and lxc so much, but since i was spending ALL my free time writing moonstruck, i never ended up reading all that many fics. I don’t actually know how other writers characterize these two, so moonstruck is probably not very consistent with other fics.

oops ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i’m too deep in lxc’s lovesick head now to even imagine jc falling first.

but the next chapter!! i want to get it out the first week of march, but i usually like to have several chapters already written and ready to post ahead of time just so i don’t leave you guys hanging (like i’m doing now :T). i have a few but not as many as i’d like. fingers crossed for march 🤞 (if not march then definitely april).

sorry for the long reply!! thanks so much for reading!!
