saiditallbeforeDear Writer,
I'm sure I'll like whatever you make for me, so just have fun! I know there are some characters/pairings that have more prompts than others, but that just means I had a lot of ideas for those (or had a past letter to copy & paste from). If I requested a character, I would be happy to see just about anything for them!
I am open to extra treats.

All of my requests are for DC comics subfandoms, so if you need additional inspiration, please feel free to check out the DC comics tag on my tumblr.
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)
Ships: Bea/Tora, Barda/Scott
Beatriz da Costa
I love Bea so much; she's ridiculous and over the top and she tries very hard to act like she doesn't care about anything, under that tough shell she cares so deeply. (She actually has the longest tenure of any JLI member!) Of course I would love to see anything with her and Tora (from shipfic to shenanigans to Bea's grief spiral after Tora's death), but I would also love to see more of Bea's relationships with other members of the JLI, if you want-- I think she and Ted have a fun friendship, and her friendship with Oberon is cute, and as much as I like Guy I think it's funny how much Bea can't stand him most of the time, but feel free to include whoever you want!
Tora Olafsdotter
My literal ice goddess! Tora is so fascinating to me, because she tends to get underestimated by everyone, even her friends and teammates, because she's openly emotional and wears her heart on her sleeve, but she's a lot tougher than most of them give her credit for, and I love that. I think her relationships with the rest of the JLI are really interesting because Tora is probably the one person that gets along best with everyone on the team, but in interpersonal situations she can fade into the background unless she makes a point of making herself be heard-- which sometimes means people, even Bea, mistake her for being a pushover. Like I said above, I'm absolutely here for BeaTora (of course), but I'm also here for Tora and whichever other JLI members you want, if you want to explore more about her relationships with the rest of the team.
Please no Guy/Tora.
Barda Free
I love every version of Barda I've encountered, but I do have a special soft spot for the version in the early JLI. She's still relatively new to Earth and is trying to live a quiet life in the New England suburbs... unless something threatens her and Scott's happiness, or the team specifically requests her help. The arc where Scott gets kidnapped and taken to Apokolips is great for this, but I'm also a big fan of the annual where she and Scott host a cookout at their house for the team. I love her and Scott's relationship, of course, but I'd also love to see more about her relationships with the rest of the team, and how she feels about being mostly retired from fighting at this point in her life. If you want to dig more into that training she did with Bea, I think that could be fun, too!
Scott Free
I'll admit that I don't know as much about the New Gods as I could, but I really love Scott's time with the JLI, and his ongoing relationship with them even after he's no longer regularly a member. Like J'onn, he tends to serve as someone for the more comedic characters to bounce off of... most of time. A lot of the time, he can seem little apart from the rest of the team's shenanigans, as he's got his own life going on, but the arc where the team (mistakenly!) thinks he's been killed in action shows just how deeply they care. Like I said above, I love his and Barda's relationship, but I'd also love to see more about him and any of the League members, in whatever situation you want to put them in.
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form
Exception: I'm open to stories that are just focused on Renee as The Question, if you don't want to include Helena.
Ships: Renee/Helena, Renee/Elicia Sanchez
Helena Bertinelli
I haven't read a ton of books focused directly on Huntress, but I am always excited when she shows up as a side character in anything I'm reading. She and Renee make for a really great duo-- they're both characters that are kind of on the grittier, street-level crime-fighting side of DC, and they have a fun chemistry. I'd love to see them working together to take down organized crime or weird cults, and possibly making out while they do it.
Renee Montoya
I really love Renee as The Question! I really love her relentless pursuit of answers and criminals and her complicated relationship with her own morals. I also really like when she interacts with other heroes-- she's a little bit of an outsider to the broader hero community, so she has a slightly different perspective than they do sometimes.
I also really enjoyed Renee's presence in the Lois Lane (2019) limited series, and what little we saw of her relationship with Elicia in that. If you want to write more of Renee and Lois teaming up to pursue the truth, I'd love to see it! Or if you want to expand on Elicia and Renee's relationship and how their multiversal memories or Elicia's past as the Kiss of Death might complicate things (in addition to the usual complications from Renee's life), I think that would be really interesting!
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form
Exception: I'm open to stories that are just focused on Xanthe, if you don't want to include Stephie
Ships: Xanthe/Cass
Xanthe Zhou
I love Spirit World and am on a quest to get everyone I know to read it. The whole story is gorgeous, but I especially love Xanthe (of course). I really love their resilience and it's just so much fun to watch them do magic and navigate the spirit world. And in general, I'd love to see more of the spirit world and its other residents, and Xanthe's relationships with them! I'd also love to see them and Constantine ending up on more magical adventures-- they had a fun dynamic, and it was fun to see both of them again recently in BoP. I also really loved their dynamic with Cass, and would love to see more Gotham adventures with the two of them, or more of Cass in the Spirit World.
Stephie Zhou
We only see a little of Stephie, but I'd love to see some of her POV on Xanthe! What does she think of her sibling apparently coming back from the dead? Magic seems to run in their family; does she have any aptitude for magic? She's the only one who kept leaving offerings for Xanthe; what was she thinking all those years? How do she and Xanthe start building a relationship now, and what does that relationship look like?
