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.

[Basch x Vossler] heroics

[manic-intent.livejournal.com]

Vossler sat down beside Basch on the edge of the bed, and as an afterthought, took the half-drained tankard of ale from the man’s nerveless fingers, dumping it on the ground, before starting on the clasp of Basch’s cloak. He managed to get Basch down to undershirt and breeches before Basch spoke, his voice low. “How is Lady Ashelia?”

He hesitated, then shook his head. “What do you think?” His own voice was gruff: Vossler had last seen Ashelia weeping almost hysterically over the coffin in the stateroom, swathed in black silk. She was only seventeen.

“I… I should speak with her.”

“Tomorrow.” Vossler placed a callused palm on Basch’s shoulder, squeezed, feeling the tension through the pads of his fingers.

“I watched him die,” Basch looked down at his hands. “He was in my charge and I watched him die.”

“The soldiers spoke to me. You could not have done anything.” Vossler sighed. “The boy tried to be a hero and charged in front of his guard. He was flanked and slaughtered. That was what happened. It was miracle enough that you brought him back.”

“I brought his body back. I should have stopped him. I knew it was dangerous. We should have retreated once the west gate fell.” Basch was turning his palms over and over. “I am a General, and he was eighteen.”

“Look, not even Ashelia thinks it is your fault-”

“But it is,” Basch snapped, then he took a slow breath. “I apologize. Perhaps you should… perhaps you should leave me be, for now.”

“To do what, drink yourself into a stupor or continue beating yourself over something that cannot be undone?” Vossler countered, his eyes narrowed. “Basch, the best thing you can do now is have a good night’s rest, and speak to the Council tomorrow with a report. You did not fail anyone. Hells, I had a good mind to punch you for taking the risk you did.”

At that, there was a grudging smile. “You did?”

“Heroics kill people in wars,” Vossler growled, and his fingers inched further, until his arm lay across Basch’s shoulders. The other knight leant into the embrace, and Vossler absently kissed at the side of his mouth. Damn Archades and its damned war.

“It will happen again,” Basch murmured. “Like Landis. Archades will swallow Dalmasca and then-”

“It won’t, and even if it will, we will fight back. It won’t last. Sooner or later it’ll find out how troublesome a fish it tried to swallow.”

“It will happen again,” Basch repeated, but softer now, his tone distant, lost in old deaths. “The Empire.”

“It won’t.” He wished that he could sound more confident. “Come on. You had better get some sleep.” Basch murmured against his neck, and dragged Vossler down to curl against him on the narrow bed.
