December Gift Exchange
It's the last month of the year! Time to take stock of this year (disaster), of your hopes for next year (less of a disaster), and exchange presents with your fellow RainbowFic members!
The rules are these:
Post a comment to ask for presents. Your fellow members can then leave comments giving you prompts. Feel free to request specific kinds of prompts- images, songs, quotes, whatever you prefer to write to, maybe even a paint-by-numbers. Each can be used as a novelty beads. In addition, if you use one of these prompts during the month of December 2020, you'll receive a graffiti credit as well as an extra novelty bead should you so desire.
Go forth! Celebrate! 2020 is nearly over!

Some quotes and songs for you!
1. How You Get the Girl, Taylor Swift: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjwTwvtwFlE
2. "...to every life there eventually came a moment when one had to accept the fact that the shape, the pattern, the direction of the future was entirely out of one's hands, to be decided unalterably by chance, by fate or by God. There was nothing to do but accept, and from this to proceed, doing the very best that could be done.” - Dorothy Gilman
3. First Person, Jenny Owen Youngs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSOiv2DpkD0
4. “I am in the process of nailing Mr. Humphrey Griffin to the wall so thoroughly that future generations will mistake him for a tapestry." - KJ Charles
5. You're Gonna Go Far, Kid, The Offspring: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weqK155M_4o
6. “Change often starts with the smallest of whispers. Like-minded people building it up to a roar.” - TJ Klune

Along the lines of what you asked me earlier, what kinds of colors are you interested in/emphatically not interested in? And how many Edward/Julia prompts are you okay with because uh. I'm a mite obsessed.
As long as it's not the colours I've done/in progress (Acanthus, Cloudy Grey, Ecru & Snow White), that's great! Like you, I think the shorter prompts seem more natural for this, but OTOH, unexpected combinations can spark all sorts off, so basically, whatever you think will work.
And I am definitely okay with Edward/Julia prompts! XD There should probably be some prompts going spare for other people, though. Heh.

I'll try to keep them from taking over the PBN. XD

Twilight
1. Embody (Is it really a lie if you make it true?)
2. Ecstasy (Finally free.)
3. Spume (Elizabeth watches the waves.)
4. Ode (Jack writes.)
5. Petrichor (It rained on the day of the funeral/wedding (pick one).)
6. Piscine (Feeding the fish.)
7. Evenfall ("The lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our life-time.")
8. Absinthe (Look, sometimes you gotta get drunk.)
9. Cluster (Firing squads.)
10. Lissome (Jill Edgington. I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS ABOUT ELISABETH SLADEN OK.)
11. Beguile (The Crime AU: how Edward and Julia get together.)
12. Firedog (Sitting by the fire on a snowy evening.)
13. Particolor (Emily Iveson is made up of so many different lives.)
14. Sine qua non (Edward and Julia.)
15. Conserve (Somehow, Julia has to survive.)
16. Caprice (Hanne has concerns about Julia marrying Edward.)
17. Lunate (The arc of history.)
18. Sibylline ("I saw it coming.")
19. Nameless (Caroline after the divorce.)
20. Supine (She could only lie there, stunned.)
You should know how hard I had to fight from making a prompt that said "It's Jack and Bill, not Jack and Jill."
no subject
I'm glad you liked yours, too.
Also I am laughing because a) I was going WHAT DOES ELISABETH SLADEN HAVE TO DO WITH THIS? for quite a few moments before I remembered my own tragically wasted casting and b) there is no way you could know this, but there is only one person in my entire canon - including Edward and Julia - who would actually always approve of their weird marriage, and that person is Hanne Graves.
But! I have an idea. XD

If you fell head first into a pigsty, you'd try to convince everybody you did it on purpose. -- Wheel of Time
Of course, “I’m sorry” doesn’t always cut it.
Yes, it's true that we are all mortal. But some of us manage to form strong attachments nevertheless. --Miss Manners
Vienna Orange Paint by Numbers
1. But I know it's wrong, why do I do it? (because, sometimes, the benefits are worth the risk)
2. How much did we lose to live this way? (it was worth it, I think. ...I hope.)
3. It's not regret, just an unexpected accounting of debts (did you even remember what happened before now?)
4. Your dream'll be a nightmare before too long (But it'll be worth it while it lasts, and sometimes that's enough)
5. Where do I go when every 'no' turns into 'maybe'? (a string of happy coincidences)
6. Faith is both the prison and the open hand (sometimes, the universe really does balance itself out in the weirdest ways)
7. Mother says years ago this whole world was ours to rule (the power of memory)
8. I've done this many times before you, watched the pattern take form (please, listen to me; I'm only trying to help)
9. Shouldn't there be screaming, praying, crying, anything at all? (silence after an announcement)
10. An old world made new on the same holy ground (it's perfect because you're here.)
11. Call it any name you need; call it your 2.0, your rebirth (just take a breath and start)
12. Let your faith die, bring your wonder (it's time to move on)
13. I haven't come to say I'm sorry, but I swear I'm on your side (Just because we disagree doesn't mean we can't support one another)
14. So change these rules and let’s cross all the sacred boundaries we’ve overgrown (YOLO)
15. Now we will build you an endlessly upwards world, embrace you for all your worth (too good to be true)
16. This is where you come from, the anchor that you can’t leave behind (change is hard; change is sometimes maybe not worth it)
17. Or maybe this is a test, maybe this is a course correction (a string of unhappy coincidences)
18. You never have belonged to me, or should I say not to me alone (watching a child/student/protege come into their own)
19. I want to witness the beauty of your repair (life sucks right now, but there's good things on the horizon)
20. May you be always heartbreaking, take a little more than you give (I'm so glad I knew you)
