Sunshine 2022: Prompt Three
Check out the Master List to find links to all of the 2022 challenge posts. Remember that there is no official deadline, so feel free to join in at any time or go back and do any prompts you've missed!
If you are inspired to answer with art, vid, or other media, we’d love for you to share what you created. If you create any fanworks, feel free to add them to our AO3 Collection.
Prompt 3: Moonstone
Prized for its blue to white adularescence—a billowy, moonlight-like sheen—Moonstone has been closely associated with the Moon. The ancient Romans believed it was frozen moonlight, a gift from the goddess, Luna. Therefore, some consider it an alternative birthstone for those born on Monday, the “Moon’s day”. Due to this lunar association, as well as its calming influence, this gem is considered an excellent aid for those with trouble sleeping. Moonstone is a stone of inner growth and strength; it soothes emotional instability and stress and stabilizes the emotions, providing calmness. Because of all this, Moonstone is often associated with wisdom and dreams.
Bonus Prompt: Garnet
Please feel free to respond in whichever way comes naturally to you, be it thoughts that you share or a work that you create. If you’d like a more specific idea to kick things off: share a novel or podfic that reminds you of the Moonstone theme.
