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.

FFVII: Cait Sith/Aeris

[deadshrimpblues.livejournal.com]

They stared at each other from across the gondola. The silence was palpable, punctuated only by the groan of the guidewire and, faintly, the sound of far-off calliope music.

It was Cait's fault, really. What the hell had he been thinkin', knocking on Aeris's hotel door like that? He was a mechanical cat, and she was a beautiful lady. Deep down in his cybernetic heart, Cait had known it wouldn't work out, but still, he was nothing if not stubborn. Why she had actually agreed to his hemming, hawing request, well, that was one mystery not even Cait Sith's fortunes could give the answer to.

She was bein' so nice to him as well, so patient. Other folks had pointed and whispered when they walked by on their stroll, but Aeris never seemed to take him anything but seriously. Cait wanted to tell her how much he appreciated it - bein' a toy cat, you didn't get much respect in the world - but for once he didn't have the words.

He sputtered, made a few false starts, and finally blurted out the first thing that came into his head.

"Y--You smell really darned nice, y'know that, lady?"

The tinkling laughter of his companion made Cait feel a little better about sounding so dumb. When she kissed him on the top of his furry head, he ceased to worry at all and promptly burst a spring in happiness.

*confetti*
YOU ARE MY HERO!

Adorable, as always. Thank you!

FFVIII: Ultimecia/Edea

[xerne.livejournal.com]

Edea's only thought was to keep the strange woman away from the children, just in case. Then she realize who - or rather what - she was. A sorceress, badly injured, who needed to pass on her power.

Ultimecia took Edea's small hand in her own, and pressed her lips to the woman's forehead, and Edea didn't even think to scream as the electricity ran between them and the older sorceress poured into the mind of the younger.

Edea was left staggering, breathing hard, and almost unaware of the wicked little turn to her smile. Almost.

Re: FFVIII: Ultimecia/Edea

[venefica-aura.livejournal.com]

mwhahahaha.

I KNEW YOU WOULD CAVE.

FFVII: Red XIII/Cait Sith

[deadshrimpblues.livejournal.com]

Nanaki had attempted pretty much everything. He put his paws over his ears, he turned his back, he even politely asked. But did his impassioned pleas work? Nay, nay. The infernal chatterbox kept going, prattling on about everything that flooded his tiny robotic mind.

It was enough to drive a civilized beast back to ferocity.

"... And it's so nice havin' another cat on-board to jaw at, 'cause none of the others ever really understand or listen or nothin'! Don't you just hate that? I mean, I ain't a real cat, leastaways how people think of real cats, but I got feelins like a flesh and blood fe-line too! I like scratchin' things! Sometimes I even lick m'own ars--"

The image of poor, demented Reeve in that position finally drove Nanaki over the edge. He did the only thing he could think to do in such a situation: he clamped his mouth over the entirety of Cait Sith's face, muffling out the mosquito drone voice to a reasonable degree. It obviously wasn't a long-term solution, but Nanaki sure did enjoy doing it.

Captain Highwind strode by on a midnight trip to the loo. His eyes flicked over to the pair sitting by the campfire. Without missing a beat he pulled out a hip flask from inside his jacket and tossed it carelessly into the bushes.

Re: FFVII: Red XIII/Cait Sith

[heybitchmove.livejournal.com]

Again, supurb! I love the way you write Cait Sith. He's so adorable!

FFVIII: Ifrit/Shiva

[salarta.livejournal.com]

Note: Another silly one, made possible because you chose the perfect game for it! Though I'm sure I would've come up with SOMETHING for any of the others.



"Ok, this is it. Are you ready?"

Squall waved off Quistis' words.

"You seem confident enough."

Squall refused to blink when pillars of heat and light rose up from the lava pit. Stones flew high, and with them came a beast. Earth brown skin, a mane of red, razor sharp teeth and horns with tips so sharp they rivaled those of the most well-crafted swords. His roar shook the cave, clawed feet planting firmly as the Guardian Force stood to face the duo.

---

They were puny humans. A boy with a knife and a girl with a whip. They had that cocky look to them, the one he had seen from so many weaklings that defiled his rest by trying to make him bow to them. They all died. By a quick gash to the head or the burning of their flesh, they all fell with ease. He charged a Fire spell, hand to his side, staring fiercely at his target. He watched the boy step forward, hand to his head and toy sword moved back as green orbs floated and spun around him, scattered in every direction.

Sparks of blue danced in the air and dug into the ground. Ice spread, a pillar of it rising up from below. And inside...

"They have Shiva!?"

The ice queen opened her eyes, and the pillar burst into thousands of tiny fragments.

Ifrit froze. The woman hovered closer, and closer. A trail of ice pursued, a fine line from her birth to the demon of flames. A ball of Fire waited in his hand, begging for release. One little motion. That's all it would take.

He felt those frosty, merciless lips peck his forehead. It burned, breaking past his rough, raw demonhide.

---

Quistis gawked. She couldn't help it. Something felt wrong, about all this. She watched the two Guardian Forces embrace each other. She watched one of Ifrit's hands snake its way to the small of the blue woman's back while the other ran along her blonde-blue-green hair. She failed to fight the urge to drop her whip and held herself as Shiva's kisses moved down, leaving tiny ice patches that fizzled in seconds.

"Ugh, I underestimated Shiva." Ifrit said. "Very well, I will join you."

Light flashed as the pair faded.

Squall returned from the unknown a few seconds later.

"What happened?" he asked.

Quistis shuddered. "You don't want to know."

Re: FFVIII: Ifrit/Shiva

[heybitchmove.livejournal.com]

AH! Ok, not only is this freaking adorable on every level, but kind of ironic too, as I just finished playing the Fire Cavern last night (on like my 4th replay of this game)! And I was seriously wondering, just a few hours ago, "Wouldn't it be royally kick-ass if Ifrit and Shiva interacted a little more? What would they say?"

Hurray for awesome timing! (And totally awesome fic.)

Re: FFVIII: Ifrit/Shiva

[salarta.livejournal.com]

No talking on Shiva's part, I felt like being silly and using mostly the actual script to work from, but glad you liked it! Really though, imagine what that would be like, you go into a battle and summon one of the summons and a story event like THAT happens. :D

Re: FFVIII: Ifrit/Shiva

[heybitchmove.livejournal.com]

I would marry the game that has this scene in it...not that you can exchange vows with RPGs, last time I checked (and I HAVE checked, mind you). But yeah, awesome!
