Yuletide 2025 Letter

saiditallbeforeDear Creator,
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’m saiditallbefore on AO3.

Optional Ships: Diana/Steve Trevor, Diana/Barbara Minerva
Circe
I really love how being forced to raise Diana has reshaped Circe in this universe. There's something so heartwarming and beautiful about watching her and Diana when Diana is growing up in Hell, about her trying to teach Diana everything she's going to need to know to survive and thrive, about how she grows to love Diana as her own.
Diana
I really love how Diana is changed by her circumstances in this universe, and yet how completely herself she is. She's got a harder edge to her, but she's still so so kind underneath, and so concerned with saving people. I love seeing how she uses the skills and experiences from this life

You can include all the characters or leave out Lian if you want to.
Optional Ships: Barbara Minerva/Jade Nguyen, Lian Harper/Alya Raatko
Lian Harper
I am absolutely obsessed with teen Lian. We know a little bit about how she's been living for the years she was separated from her family, but I'd love to see more about how it effected her now that they're reunited. I'd also just love to see more of her and Jade and their complicated relationship, and what that looks like as Jade dips in and out of Lian's life. I love the little glimpses we get in this comic of the two of them, and I love that Lian clearly knows Cheetah fairly well, seeing as Barbara has a nickname for her and is welcome in Jade's house while Lian is there and everything. Plus Lian trying to get in on her mom's new heist team! I also really love what we are starting to see of her friendship with Alya!
Barbara Minerva
I really love Cheetah, and I love this iteration of her a lot. I really love her friendship with Jade and how she deals with her curse, and I love seeing her interact with Lian and the team she and Jade pull together. This whole scheme is really Barbara's idea!
Jade Nguyen
Jade! So many comics do her dirty, but I'm always excited to see her. I love getting to see her be clever and ruthless without being treated like she's downright evil, and I also love getting to see her relationships with the other characters, particularly Cheetah and Lian. I also love getting to see her take charge of a team (or at least co-lead) and get a little bit of respect.

Optional Ships: BeaTora, BeaSigrid, Tora/Helena Bertinelli
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! I also think that it would be really interesting to have her interact with Yara Flor, especially if you wanted to explore their different relationships to their identity as Brazilian superheroes.
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.
If you're familiar with it, I think it could also be fun to set something in the Justice League 3000 timeline, about the centuries they spent apart, or their reunion, or creating some closure for Justice League 3001.
For more thoughts, I have a mini BeaTora ship manifesto here.

Optional Ships: Aphra/any female character she could plausibly interact with
Chelli Lona Aphra
I absolutely adore Aphra. I love how amoral and self-serving she is, even when she's perfectly aware that she's only hurting herself in the long term. I love how smart she is, and how those smarts get her both into and out of trouble. Like Mar-Mas Voor says, she always looks after herself, she always betrays people, and she always feels guilty afterward.
I'd love to see more of her adventures! Maybe it's a run-of-the-mill (for her) trip into an abandoned temple to find valuable artifacts, or maybe she runs afoul of the Empire or the Rebellion (or both). I also really love her relationship with Vulaada; Aphra's not exactly the maternal type, but she cares about Vu in her own way.
