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/Angelo

[achenar.livejournal.com]

((No planning, just random!))

In the aftermath of the battle the Infirmary was filled to overflowing, its staff overstretched and desperately tallying the casualties incurred on either side. Such influence as the Orphanage Gang had, though, had procured a small cubicle in a far corner, blessedly empty of the impromptu trundle beds sported by every other room.

Three plastic chairs and a bed, in traditional clinical greens and white. The morning Centra sunlight had bleached all further colour from the room, and Quistis sat staring unseeing at the over-illuminated form of the room's sole patient. Their face was near grey, dark hair limp against the pillow; if the machines set up by the bed hadn't been beeping steady reassurance the blonde would have been checking for vital signs.

It was her shift, a watch organised unspoken by the group, to encourage their Commander to sleep occasionally. Exhausted, Squall slumped in one of those chairs, balanced precariously on its back legs and braced against a corner. Two days, since that final battle against the Sorceress -- their Matron, she reminded herself. Two days since Rinoa had sunk away from the conscious world, and two days since any of them had slept for more than a few hours at a time.

Selphie appeared at the doorway, a pair of steaming styrofoam cups balanced in her hand. "You need to get out of here," she informed the blonde, lowered voice holding only a hint of its usual exuberance. She shook her head to interrupt Quistis' protest, slipping one of the cups into her friend's hand. "I'll watch her from here - after all, that way when she wakes up I'll get to see and I'll brag about it forever. Take him - he's not moved since we got her in here."

Frowning, Quistis turned a glance at Squall as if to emphasise that the brunette wasn't going to be moved by anything short of Rinoa's awakening - then realised Selphie had been referring to the mutt at the end of the bed.

Never fond of dogs, she'd been close to protesting when the animal invaded the sterile cleanliness of the infirmary, but one look at Squall, Rinoa cradled limply in his arms, and she'd relented. Now she turned to look at the collie, and as if aware of their regard he tilted his head, tail raising a moment.

Pets needed exercise, she knew that, and surely one as big as Angelo more so; reluctantly she stood. "Angelo," she said, imitating Rinoa's chirping tones as well as she could, "it's walkies time." She reached out to stroke the dog's head - softer than she'd expected for all the rolling in mud he seemed to do, given a chance.

Angelo's ears perked at The Word; while something in his liquid eyes made it clear he didn't for a moment mistake Quistis for his mistress, he bounded to his feet - and promptly gave the blonde's face a thorough washing.

Spluttering in only slightly-feigned disgust, the blonde glared at Selphie - who didn't bother to wipe the wicked grin from her lips - and went in search of a towel. The canine leapt from Rinoa's bed and followed, claws clicking against the linoleum flooring and tail high.

...maybe she could get used to walkies.

Okay, so my nearest rendering of the noise that this made me make is HEENYAAAAAAAAAW. Which, typed, looks like a donkey being bludgened with a hammer, but in reality is an expression of ubercuteness ^^.

I particularly love the last line ^^. Quistis is so the kind of person who is a little intimidated by cute animals but also likes a good cuddle, at least in my eyes.

Thanks for answering ^^.

*nodnods* She strikes me as having spent too much time in a military school to be outright 'hooray puppies!', but she's still a sap at heart.
