CELEBRATING THE HOLIDAY EVERYONE LOVES TO HATE*

[seventhe]

Fandom: taking back Valentine's Day since 2008!

So last year bottle_of_shine had a Kissing Battle. The last edition is here (EDITED TO ADD: this is the old battle, not the current one!). It was a lot of fun and might be known around FF-fandom circles as the best Meme ever**.

Pretty much everyone I know is stressed about something, too, so this round of the Kiss Meme Battle honestly couldn't have better timing. (I love you guys) This round is about feeling good, it's about love, and it's also about seeing who can write the most kissy drabbles and ficlets in one week!

Final Fantasy Kissing Battle: Valentine's Edition!***
Happening right here in this very entry

This portion of the rules I borrow from Nay, because she explained it well.

Requirements:
  - Kissing. Of any sort, even if it happens to be platonic. Otherwise known as: gen kisses are okay!
  - Put the fandom and pairing in the header of comments with kiss fic! SERIOUSLY. This makes it 300% easier for people to browse (and for me to compile).
Limitations: above the belt (this isn't about porn) and Final Fantasy only (crossovers are cool).

There are many ways to play! Write kisses and post them as comments. Make a list of requests and hope someone will fill them. Write other people's requests and hope they do the same back. (Requests can be filled more than once.) Find other good kisses and squee! EDIT - You can request anonymously, if you want!

This is about love and feeling good and that kind of stuff so people who are stupid about it will get my steel-toes in their ass. WITH LOVE ♥ ♥ ♥

I'm thinking about a week for this, so whoever writes the most kisses in that time wins!

GO TO IT, GUYS.
Let the Kissing Battle begin!
Feel free to pimp and invite people! THERE'S LOVE FOR EVERYONE.


*Don't lie to me. You hate it, you know you hate it, and you love to hate it. You love to complain about how stupid of a holiday it is. Single, committed, married, playing the field, porn star, straight, gay, bi, curious, into donkeys - we all have a hate-on for Valentine's Day, and we all compete with each other over the size of our Valentine's-Day-hating cock. I've had it. ENOUGH. THE HATE STOPS HERE! FILL THE WORLD WITH MOTHER FUCKING LOVE, YOU FUCKING COCK BITCHES.

**it might also not. I may have made that part up.

***the name of this color is "Dark Hard Magenta." HAHAHA. HARD. i am such a loser. Also, I hope it's as annoying on YOUR screen as it is on MINE.

REQUESTS
Updated: ~1:00pm 02-18-08

♥ Each *asterisk* represents one kiss already written for that request. It certainly does not mean you can't write another - it's really for people who are trying to make sure everyone gets their fair share of the kisses.
It's only based off of kisses with labeled comment headers. If you forgot to label your kiss, reply to it with a comment WITH THE PAIRING IN THE HEADER and I'll try to update you.
♥ Newest requests are at the bottom of each list, labeled with a heart. ("New" simply means "the most recent people I've added".)

Again, if you don't want your name on your request, feel free to comment anonymously.

FFVIII: Quistis/Laguna

[katmillia.livejournal.com]

Why, why did Squall have to assign her to be Balamb's official embassador to Esthar's rather ill-perceived ball?

She did not work well when confined to whatever it was that she was wearing (Rinoa had insisted that the blue looked wonderful on her and brought out her eyes, and the slit in the skirt was entirely appropriate given the circumstances), and she wasn't sure who she was more irate at- Squall, for giving her such a stupid mission when he should have been the one going, or Laguna, for thinking that such an idea had merit in the first place. She rolled her shoulders in an attempt to work out the kinks, but it seemed to be a lost cause.

If she found Laguna and handed off the reports and details for the Sorceress treaty between them, she could probably duck out early and change back into her far more practical uniform. She searched the room until she found his bobbing head, and marched towards him with resolution.

He didn't seem surprised to see her.

"Evening, Miss Trepe," he said. It thew her, initially, how much he looked like his younger self- and, given that she'd been in his memories too many times to count, it was slightly awkward at first speaking with him. She cleared her throat and shook her head.

"I have the papers for you," she told him, all business. "If you'll just–"

Someone- someone that looked suspiciously like Kiros- bumped into Laguna from behind and sent him reeling into both her and the unfortunate cocktail waitor next to her, who, even more unfortunately, was holding a platter of champagne flutes. She didn't know who was more coated in the bubbly concoction- her, or the waitor himself. Laguna looked aghast, and immediately grabbed her hand to pull her to the side where one of the buffet tables was located.

"I'm so sorry," he babbled, wiping at the front of her dress with a napkin, completely oblivious to the fact that his hand was getting rather close to–

"It's fine," she said quickly, waving his hand away. She was going to kill her commander for this, father issues be damned. "I'll just pass the papers off to you."

"You look very nice," he said, with that crooked smile she remembered so well.

"Thank you," she answered instinctively. "Here are the–"

He leaned forward and kissed her cheek, and she was so flabber-gasted that she completely forgot about her soaked dress AND the papers still clutched between her fingers. When it was clear that some sort of response was necessary, and he looked somewhere between embarassed and rejected, she scrambled to come up with the correct reply.

"Thank you," she said again.

FFVIII: SEV/IRVINE OTP

[deadshrimpblues.livejournal.com]

Irvine took the hat from off his crotch and scratched at his head absently. He knew the GFs were pretty damned nasty about eating bits of memory, but Quistis had never shown the slightest bit of interest in him before. Why now? Why here, in her office? Most importantly, when the hell had Quistis gotten a degree in chemical engineering?

"Quistis? You kinda ... lookin' different, babe. You lost some weight recently? New glasses?"

The Not-Quistis looked around in an obvious and rather blatantly shifty manner before grabbing Irvine by his saddlehorn. She pulled him into a sloppy kiss. Irvine flailed like a well-endowed windmill for several seconds before she let him back up for air.

"Shut up and let's do this thing already, cowboy. I ain't got all day, you know."

FFIV/FFVIII: Quistis/Rydia which may or may not really be Sev/Tubby WHAT

[katmillia.livejournal.com]

She's learned a lot in her weeks at Garden.

She's learned that the lights twinkling over her head are NOT lanterns of an unknown variety (and she will not forget the way one of the cadets laughed at her when she kept trying to blow the library lamp out), she's learned that the small machine next to her bed will beep incessantly at her if she tells it when she needs to wake up in the morning, and she's learned that Quistis Trepe is far too involved in trying to keep up her professional image among her peers.

There's really only one that she can do anything about, and she vows that she will change something in the strange new world she found herself lost in.

And so Rydia walks among the guests at the SeeD initiation gala (she is told that there is one for every new batch of recruits, which sounds rather like a knighting), trying to seek out the blonde woman who has been the most helpful guide she could have asked for, and a better friend than she expected. It's not easy to find Quistis in the crowd, but she eventually spots the golden sheen of her hair, and walks towards her through the swaying bodies (the ones gyrating look suspiciously like they had picked up Edge's own dance moves).

Rydia slips her arm through Quistis', and is not surprised at the gurgled sound of surprise she receives in response.

"Evening, all," she says, pleasantly, to the others gathered 'round the instructor. "How are you enjoying the gala?"

"Very well," one shocked looking delegate says. "Thank you."

"Well, be sure to catch the music they have playing on the terrace," Rydia tells him, pointing off to where the brunette girl who is all smiles and laughter is readying her quartet. "It should be outstanding."

Quistis still seems to be shell-shocked, so Rydia turns and gives her a small peck on the cheek before waving one last time, with a sly smile, at the men forming a semi-circle around her. She manages to get halfway through the crowd of dancing people (if such things can even be considered dancing) before there's a hand on her arm, and she whirls back around to run smack into Quistis' mouth (which she rather suspects was the point).

When they break apart, both are laughing.

"That will give them something to talk about," Quistis says with a shrug.

"Oh, it will," Rydia giggles.

OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

FFVI: Terra/Little Girl (it's not what you think, you pervs!)

[kristinmachina.livejournal.com]

“Mama! I cut my knee!” One little girl came running, crying, towards Terra.

“Come here, darling, and Mama will make it better,” Terra took a wet cloth and knelt down to meet the little girl.

Terra lost her magic after the battle with Kefka. She could not longer whisper, “Cure,” and the bloody scratch would disappear. Still, Terra knew a “trick” that made every boo-boo better in a blink.

After wiping away the blood, Terra kissed the top of the knee, making a loud puckering sound for emphasis.

“Feel better?” Terra wiped away the girl’s tears from her cheek with her thumb, and gave her a gentle smile.

“Yeah,” the little girl nodded, and the tears instantly dried. It’s the oldest magic in the world–a mama’s love.

FFVIII: [lame and dorky non-attempt at] Zell/Quistis

[siva630.livejournal.com]

“It was a good effort.”

He glared back, eyes ringed with sore purple flesh. A cure spell could close a wound, but it couldn’t make it look pretty.

“I thought he’d be easy.” Zell spooned another tongueful of peach yoghurt into his mouth, swallowed with a grimace.

Despondent, she murmured, “I know; I was shocked, too. He must have been fighting a lot since back then.”

She was resting forward on her elbows, planted on the tabletop, lapsing into deep stares every couple of minutes. Zell lay back, nursing a sore rib with one arm. (Nothing could be done about the pride; he’d have to leave that one to time. Time enough to heal up and ruin Seifer’s shit like there’s no tomorrow.) He thought he could take him, strutting back into the grounds with a demand to see Edea, cutting, blasé air, throwing his weight like a dodgeball.

“He looked different. I don’t know why.”

“I noticed that, too.”

When it came to Seifer they were always on the same page, seeing from the same eyes. His manner, his words, the clothes he wore; everything down to the stubble on his chin they’d seen and thought about in similar ways. If it wasn’t for Zell’s quicker reflexes she was sure she’d be the one eating liquid foods with a clicking jaw there and then. She would have been the one to go at him all guns blazing, for everything he’d done and not done to her, and for her. She knew Zell felt the same.

The cafeteria was empty. She’d stayed with him through supper, three hours now. The cleaning staff had come and gone.

“D’you reckon he’s back for good?” Zell asked, giving up on the meal at long last.

Quistis smiled, stood up. She paced past the table, put her hand on his shoulder.

“I hope so. Cause I’ll be backing you up for round two.”

He smiled; she bent, kissed him on the cheek, on the bruise where Seifer had hit the hardest blow.

Dude. I LOVED this!

FFX: Wakka/Rikku (edited 'cause I borked the subject line before)

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

The campfire crackled under the starry, wide skies of the Calm Lands. It was almost like the desert, Rikku thought, except not as cold, and without any sand stinging her skin. She decided she preferred this, breathing the warmer air and feeling dewy grass between her toes, even if the thought also made her feel vaguely disloyal.

"It's late." Next to her, Wakka stretched, his hands reaching to the sky and his feet pointing at the fire. "Everyone else is in bed; why you still up?"

"You're still awake," she pointed out.

"Yeah, but I got first watch tonight. What's your excuse?"

She shrugged. "Too keyed up to sleep, I guess. Lots going on lately."

"Yeah." He sighed, so softly that Rikku almost didn't hear him. The silence rose, only the sound of the breeze through the grasses and the occasional chirping cricket coming between them. So it was a surprise when Wakka shifted again, and his hand fell on top of Rikku's. She turned, the warmth of his touch spreading all through her, and he was looking at her, eyes bright with hope and regret.

"Rikku. I, uh. There's some things I've been wantin' to say. So, just listen for a minute, okay?" She could only nod as he continued. "I've been an idiot. I was wrong about a lot of things -- Yevon, Maester Seymour, the Al Bhed. And I'm sorry for lots of reasons. But mostly I'm sorry for taking it all out on you. I hurt you, and it was wrong. Can you forgive me?"

She turned her hand over and pressed her palm into his, lacing their fingers together, glancing down at their hands to see how his dwarfed hers, and then she looked up at him. "'Course I do," she said. "It's not your fault Yevon brainwashed you from birth." Her lips quirked into a small smile, which he answered. "And, y'know, it's not like I didn't have some really wrong ideas about you Yevonites. My pops... anyway. I'm happy he was wrong."

He bent down and kissed her, warm and welcoming as an island sunrise, and she tightened her fingers on his.

Re: SEV'S REQUESTS! THERE ARE MANY

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

GAH GAH KILL ME WITH CUTENESS! I especially liked the line about their hands - I could really picture it. XD

FFIV/FFVIII: Rydia/Quistis/Ellone (you didn't request it but I know you want it)

[katmillia.livejournal.com]

"You want me to do what?" Elle asked, clearly surprised. Quistis wasn't sure which part had shocked the older girl more- her sudden arrival with a green-haired stranger, or her insistance upon Ellone reaching back into the girl's memories to find out more on the GFs she claimed to know.

"Wait, what?" Rydia asked. She seemed startled.

"Just do it," Quistis said, and then, less demanding, "please."

Elle still looked hesitant, but she reached a hand out to touch Rydia's hand– Quistis didn't claim to know anything about the inner workings of her time magic, but touch would, she assume, be the easiest way to latch onto someone, especially someone she didn't know. The brunette concentrated, eyelids fluttering closed, and the world turned over.

Quistis didn't know why she was being pulled as well, but all of a sudden she was assaulted by visions of Leviathan and Bahamut, fully formed and not simply the sentient beings within the confines of her mind, and then flashes– flashes of honey-combed corridors and molten lava and ships flying on propellors, and then just as suddenly as the images came, they were gone. Reality had a strange way of feeling suddenly desolate and empty, void of light and life and the Summons Rydia had been talking about.

She didn't remember falling to her knees, nor did she remember both other women's arms circling around her in obvious concern.

"Quisty!" Elle was chanting, and then, to her right, Rydia: "Quistis! Quistis!"

One of the two– she was still too muddled to know which, kissed her, quickly, almost frightened-like on the mouth, and it worked better than she had expected it to, clearing her vision a bit so the colors were no longer blurred together. She let out a half-choking gasp, and was glad for their arms keeping her upright. It happened again, but she knew the second one to be Elle- after all, she'd just tasted the ribbons of time magic, and they left a coppery taste in the back of her throat, mingled with strawberries and lime.

When she could finally open her eyes and properly focus on the desks around her, she tried to croak out a thanks and couldn't form the words.

"I'm sorry!" Ellone said, hovering over her vision, concerned. "I didn't know–"

"No, it was me, I think," Rydia said, shaking her head. "Something about Levia–"

"I'm okay," Quistis managed to choke out. "I think– I will be at least."

She sat up on her own accord, pleased to be making that much progress.

"Your methods were a bit unorthodox," she said slowly. Elle pinked a bit.

"Well, it worked alright," she sputtered, and to her right, Rydia shrugged.

"Can we not try that again?" she asked, and Quistis was all too inclined to agree.

FFX/X-2: Lulu/Rikku

[salarta.livejournal.com]

Note: Okay, so umm, promise not to kill me if this isn't very good? I spent way too much time on this.


She hated it, how she yearned for him in those first waking minutes. It left her small, and fragile, and weak. She didn't want to be that woman, the sobbing, broken-down mess, the one everyone mocked with their pity. It hurt. It ached. It burned a hole through her, one she didn't want to feel.

So she wouldn't.

The dress fit snugly, hanging and bonding in all the right places. The belts strained as she yanked and tightened them to perfection. The earrings, the rings, the hair pieces, the necklaces, Lulu snapped and shifted and slid each one where they belonged. Purple smeared onto her lips. She tossed her braids behind her shoulders, pushed her bangs over her left eye, and took a good long look at herself in the mirror.

The purple necklace flagged attention to her cleavage, in a dress designed just so that to the ignorant eye, it threatened to slip free and bare her body to the world if she so much as bent over too far. That was the point. She hid behind a wall of black, a thicket of leather and cloth. Perverse minds spent more time looking at the size of her bust than what lie beyond the facade. She was a witch. A goddess. A dark, soulless beast with a killer rack who looked like she might burn you alive if you gave her a reason. Anything but a sad, lonely, pathetic little girl.

Her skirt brushed against the ground as she walked. The sights and sounds and smells of a living world hit her hard as she emerged from her room. As did something else.

"MMPH!" Lulu protested. A pair of lips pressed against her own, her head fixed firmly by a pair of slender hands. She felt those hands paw at her neck, her shoulders, the small of her back. She wanted to fight it, to scream... yet for some reason, she couldn't. Instead, she squirmed and melted into the other's arms. Her body buzzed, mind whirling, hot and heavy. Faster than it began, Lulu felt the other pull away...

"Hiya Lulu!"

"...Rikku?" It felt like a lump in her throat when she said it. A warm shiver ran through her when the Al Bhed girl winked.

"Cheer up! It's no fun having you around acting so grim and brooding all the time."

"B-But I-" Too late. Lulu watched Rikku bound away. She brought a hand to her lips. Her soft, tingling lips. And somewhere deep inside, she found something she thought had died with Chappu.

Yuna/Anyone

She lay back and stared at the ceiling. She'd never felt so deeply exhausted in her whole life--not even that time when she'd followed Cid and his friends out into the sands when she was twelve. She'd just wanted to be in on all the monster-hunting fun! But they were tired of her tagging along, and they managed to lose her. Stubborn, she'd tried to follow them, but had gotten lost and spent hours fighting her way back to Home by herself. But then the little bundle in her arms stirred and she looked down into a pair of miss-matched eyes and decided it was worth it. Those eyes told her she would do it all over again, in a heartbeat.

"Serious little thing, isn't she?" He brushed the baby's cheek with the tip of one finger.

"She takes after you." She watched those little eyes follow his fingertip through the air.

"Then she's smart, too."

She turned to look at him, mock-glaring. She wanted to hit him, but didn't dare move with the bundle in her arms. He laughed.

"I'm sure she'll turn out more like you before long, and then I'll have both my hands full of willful women." He kissed her.

"How about it, Yuna? Shall we give Byby trouble together?" She asked. Although she knew the girl was far too young to actually smile yet, she could swear those little lips twitched up in one corner. "That's my girl." She bent her neck and kissed her daughter's forehead.
