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 2: Eos
The dawn goddess Eos was almost always described with rosy fingers or rosy forearms as she opened the gates of heaven for the Sun to rise. Eos had a team of divine horses to pull her chariot, providing daylight as they climbed the arc of heaven scattering sparks of fire across the sky (she was also sometimes depicted aloft by the power of her own wings). Eos is known for having had many lovers, which has led to Eos being known by some as a goddess of joy and pleasure in addition to being the goddess of the dawn.

Hooray, I'm really excited for all the links!

[impala_chick]

What a lovely post! Thanks for sharing.

Done! I self-recced two of my own fics.

[olivermoss]

Thank you!

[peasina]

Looks like I'm grabbing the bonus prompt with both hands again :-D

Here's my post. (It's a mature Original Work podfic about a human/minotaur relationship!)

[paulamcg]

Thank you for taking part by self-reccing!

[shipperslist]

This was a bit tricky because happy happy joy joy isn't usually my thing. 😁 Nevertheless, here we go.

[kingstoken]

You can see my post here, where I rec a couple vids and fics from The Old Fandom

[kate]

Wow, you put together a podfic so fast, I'm so impressed! Also, wow, way to get that bonus prompt! Thank you for joining us!

[kate]

Oh, those are lovely recs! Also your Christmas fluff stories are adorable. Thank you for taking on the prompt and joining us!

[kate]

Ooh - those portraits are gorgeous! Also, The Old Guard! Those recs are lovely, thank you. Thanks so much for joining us!

[shipperslist]

Oh, thanks! 😁

[liriaen]

My Eos drabble entries (Bibleslash and Borgia fic, again) can be found here, and already I'm beating myself up over not coming up with something more hopeful. But hey. Next round will be brighter.

[author_by_night]

I compiled a few fanfics I wrote with the dawn theme. Fandoms are Schitt's Creek and Harry Potter. https://author-by-night.dreamwidth.org/1349830.html

ETA: I should note I went less for the "joy" aspect of dawn and more for the "new beginnings" aspect. That being said, there should be some joy in new beginnings.

Because I am a joyless creature and I like writing about myth, I posit that the presence of the sun can make you sad. :p

[kingstoken]

Thank you, and you're welcome.

[autobotscoutriella]

As someone who woke up this morning and went "how DARE the sun be up this early", I think you might be right about the sun XD

Lovely, evocative fic! I enjoyed reading it. Thanks for joining us!

[autobotscoutriella]

Excellent fics! Thanks for joining us!

[autobotscoutriella]

Thanks for joining us! Nothing wrong with none-too-hopeful fics, if that's how the prompt inspires you. :)

[pauraque]

I shared some brief thoughts about the musical composition 'A Glorious Dawn' by melodysheep, featuring Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking. Feel free to visit!

[smallhobbit]

Dawn isn't my thing, so have a photo my daughter took here
