Dear Yuletide

impala_chickYAY it's Yuletide! Thank you so much for signing up and spreading good cheer :D I would like any rating, gen all the way to explicit or PWP. I've listed some prompts below and some random thoughts on characters requested. My DNWs are on A03. You can look at my fic reccs, or you can also find me on tumblr, in case looking through my tags might help you find some inspiration.
I also commented at Yuleporn here and the Wrapping Paper challenge here.

Thoroughbred Series
Ashleigh
Wow, this series takes me back! Anything set canon or post-canon would be fun.
+I would love something about Ashleigh after she's grown up. How is her relationship with her daughter? Her brother and sister? How about running the farm?
+Does she ever think about regrets, or what she would have done differently?
+Seeing Ashleigh through her husband Mike's eyes would be great, too. Even them doing something domestic like cleaning stalls or watching a race, or planning an event at the farm.
+Give Wonder a happy ending, where she doesn't die from her foal being born. Maybe Wonder is retired and just gives kids rides during a fall festival or Christmas party?
+For an AU, I would definitely enjoy a Hogwarts AU. Maybe Ashleigh sneaks off to see Wonder during school? Or Wonder is some kind of magical horse that lives in the forest? And/or Ashleigh's patronus is a horse.
+For a canon divergent AU, maybe her parents' farm doesn't collapse, and they don't take the job. Would Ashleigh still meet Wonder somehow?
Justice League
Bruce, Clark
I live for the Bruce and Clark snark in this movie, friendship or Bruce/Clark. I love anything having to do with Bruce's inability to confront his emotions, and Clark's boundless energy and enthusiasm.
+Maybe they finally have a serious conversation about Clark's resurrection?
+Maybe they try to navigate leading the Justice League together, and hit snags in the road when Clark is the natural born leader but Bruce really thinks he knows best most of the time?
+I love the whole league, so an outsider POV look at their relationship would be fun.
+If you want to do a mission fic or case fic, I'd love to see Bruce and Clark have to meet with The Amazons or the Atlanteans to ask for help.
+I also like the idea of Diana planning some team building trip, and then Bruce and Clark have to work on their differences on a road trip or beach day or holiday party.
For the more shippy stuff: I get a kick out of someone else mistaking Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne as a couple at some formal party/fundraiser/gala when they show up together or at least talk to each other all night, and then seeing Clark being all embarrassed. I'm also down for Bruce pining after Clark. If you want to act like Lois and Clark aren't together, that's fine by me. Also fine with me if you want to have Clark be undecided about his relationship with Lois, or break up with her in some dramatic way. Clark is a sweetheart and I think he would be conflicted.
Nikita
Nikita Meers
Nikita will forever be one of my favorite characters. Anything you want to write about her would be awesome. You could literally ship her with just about anyone, too. My only NoTPs are Percy/Nikita and Birkhoff/Nikita (I see them as besties though). I really like when the bad guys underestimate Nikita because she's a woman, and she kicks ass anyway. I also like when she's plotting or planning a mission with her team.
+I would love a space AU with her as a bounty hunter.
+Seeing Nikita as an assassin in a different time would be interesting - maybe WWII. Would it be easier to go rogue? Or would she be helping the resistance in Europe during WWII? How would she build her coalition i.e. Alex, Michael, Owen, Ryan, Birkhoff, etc.?
+Magic AU or Witches AU. Maybe Nikita is trying to keep her powers a secret, but Percy/Amanda/the bad guys make her use them, or Michael teaches her to embrace her powers. Or she teaches Alex to get in touch with her magic.
+A college AU where Michael is her hot professor, and she definitely intends to keep it professional, but her and Michael end up teaming up for something (research? planning an event?) and she realizes they are a good team.
+Post-canon, what does Nikita's life look like now? Does the team ever get together again? Maybe for something mundane like a party that gets interrupted?
Turn
Ben, Caleb
I am slightly behind, but it's okay if you want to do something based off an episode remix or coda. Ben and Caleb make a great team, and the snark/banter between these two is what I love most. I think they are at their best when they are having fun and scheming.
+I'd love to see what they do in their down time (if they can get any down time).
+Pre-canon: how did they get to know each other? Was there one big event that really forged their friendship?
+Seeing them do something competitive, like horse racing or gambling would be fun. Maybe undercover?
+I can see a Western AU where Ben is the rich new sheriff in town and Caleb shows up out of his past to give him hell, and they end up working together to stop a crime/heist.
As for shippy stuff: Maybe Washington has them go undercover as brothers, and they hate it? This ship is perfect for "undercover as a couple" in a modern Spy AU. I'd love to see them go from friends/enemies to lovers in an almost natural way, where they wind up being surprised by their feelings.
