Name: Touched by Moonlight
Story: Starfall
Colors: Tourmaline #5 (silk/cotton)
Supplies and Styles: Eraser + Graffiti (11 Years of Rainbowfic – Space Month – Mir Challenge) + Silhouette + Life Drawing
Word Count: 1665
Rating: PG
Warnings: smoking; mentions of spiritualism/mediums/ghosts etc.; mention of period-typical racism in passing.
Notes: 1930s AU; Viyony Eseray/Leion Valerno (although I had to give them slightly different names for a real world setting.) I actually wrote this for the Mir Challenge, before I wrote the other one, but this is just a month for moon-themed stories anyway, it seems.
Summary: Leion’s terribly susceptible to moonlight.

Name: Take to the Streets
Story: Starfall
Colors: Tourmaline #17 (home/far off place)
Supplies and Styles: Stained Glass + Portrait + Panorama
Word Count: 6040
Rating: PG
Warnings: Mentions of mild injury, assassination attempt, mild panic attack.
Notes: 1313 Portcallan; Viyony Eseray, Seahra Jadinor, Leion Valerno, Eollan Barra, Tana Veldiner, Mierly Modelen, Laida Modelen, Nia Delant, Ranir Maraseny, Rodern Ylie, Iyana Valerno. (The start proper of the 24 years early storyline. I wasn’t sure how to do this incident and then thought about making it a Stained Glass. No need to worry about everyone in it; it hopefully works as a taster, plus more of Leion and Viyony’s family and connections, who we’ve met before.)
Summary: It’s the day of the Grand Procession and Opening of the High Chambers in Portcallan. A festival day, but someone’s got very different ideas for this year’s event…

(Introducing the 24-years-earlier Portcallan plot and main character, mostly for fun and worldbuilding while I try to line up all the relevant characters and plot points in the current day/main plot pieces. A familiar face is involved.)
Summary: On the road to Portcallan, Viyony meets three soldiers. She will meet each of them again before this tale is told.

Word Count: 1594
Rating: G
Warnings: Some references to injuries.
Notes: 1309; 1318 Starfall Manor; Osmer Nivern/Lynah Allin, Tannis Kellen. (This is, at least in part, something of what happened to Osmer that made him stop being a Pathwalker and left him badly wounded for Pio to rescue. Flashfic for CotD, so forgive any errors.)

Story: Divide & Rule/Heroes of the Revolution
Colors: Tourmaline #3 (friend/enemy); Vienna Orange #1 (But I know it's wrong, why do I do it?)
Supplies and Styles: Canvas + Seedbeads + Paint-by-Numbers from shadowsong26 (because, sometimes, the benefits are worth the risk)

Rating: G
Warnings: Some mentions of past deaths; period typical sexism.
Notes: 1910; Daisy Long, Jack Iveson. (I’m trying to do random first meetings for this colour, but we’ll see how it goes. This one features Edward’s maternal Aunt Daisy (who would later bring him up) and his paternal grandfather, Jack Iveson (the one who made a fortune building about a quarter of London in the 19th C.) Jack and Edward’s father are sort of estranged, but Jack’s not actually awful or anything; it was just one of those things.)
Summary: Daisy is a traitor, and that’s all there is to it.
