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.

[Gabranth x Ffamran][What If AU] dissolution

[manic-intent.livejournal.com]

Ffamran had certainly expected Gabranth to find him, but not so soon: he took a few steps backward into the rented room, grabbing the rifle he had left on the dresser; behind him Zecht started up with a low oath from one of the beds, fumbling for his blades.

Gabranth did not even look at the renegade Magister, his feverish eyes fixed instead on Ffamran, his face sallow, fists trembling at his sides. He stank of whisky, and his clothes were creased, disheveled. “Come back with me.”

“I can’t.” He’d turned this very conversation over in his mind, every night, scripting out the words, but his carefully prepared bravado faltered before Gabranth’s raw pain.

“They know that Zecht escaped. They do not know who… they will not know who aided him,” Gabranth corrected himself roughly. “Come back with me.”

Ffamran found that he could not speak. There was too much grief, and the need in his beloved’s voice made his throat clench. He looked down, and behind him, Zecht murmured, “Ffamran.” It broke the spell.

“I won’t. I don’t have anything left for me in Archades.” Ffamran’s voice rose from a whisper, as he gained confidence. “I do not wish to go back. I did not like being a Judge, and-”

“And what? You like airships, flying? Then do so. You do not want to be a Judge? Then quit! There is no need to leave.” Gabranth’s eyes begged him even though he did not voice the words. Please.

Zecht coughed, and then pushed past them: Gabranth continued to ignore him. Ffamran waited for the ex-Magister’s footsteps to recede, tugging at his lip with his teeth, then he sighed. “Come in. I’ll rather not have the entire tavern listen in.”

Gabranth lowered his head, and followed meekly enough as Ffamran turned his back, closed the door behind them but did not lock. “When… when would you have spoken to me?”

“I do not know. After things settled, mayhap.” Ffamran felt guilty, and hid this by looking out of the window, walking up to it to push the shutters open. He had left a note only that tersely explained his reasons. There hadn’t been time, so he had told himself. He had pinned it to their bed with the blood-gold ring.

“I looked all over Archades. Your house. The Aerodrome,” Gabranth was muttering, his voice on the verge of cracking, brittle and strained. “The Akademy. I think Zargabaath stopped me from drinking. He said you would be here.”

Ffamran exhaled. “Then, Zecht-”

“I do not care about Zecht.” Gabranth’s answer was bitingly quick.

“Why don’t you leave Archades?” Ffamran demanded, knowing as he did so that he was being unfair: Gabranth’s expression seemed to shut down. “Leave and follow me.”

“I cannot.” Gabranth’s answer seemed dragged from the man, almost inaudible. “You know I cannot.”

“You are not Vayne’s slave. How many years of service must you give him before your ‘debt’ is discharged?”

“Until he discharges it. Ffamran. I cannot leave.” Gabranth’s next breath shudders. “Please.”

Ffamran’s resolve began to waver. “There will be changes.”

“Of course.” Gabranth’s relief is evident enough in his tone that Ffamran need not turn around, but he does, walking into a hesitant embrace that fast turns crushing. He pushes at broad arms until it loosens a little. “Anything you wish.”

“You have not heard them,” Ffamran said dryly, but he could not help but smile, his own arms going about Gabranth’s waist. He had missed this. “And I need to speak with Zecht.”

Gabranth nodded, nose buried in Ffamran’s hair, and he sighed, lifted his chin, and pressed his lips to the pulse at Gabranth’s throat.
