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/Ffamran

[vieralynn.livejournal.com]

One more Gabranth/Ffamran, in two parts due to meme-breaking length.
~~~~

Gabranth was certain that someone, somewhere in the Archadian government had decided that he had been promoted too quickly and that he performed too thorough an investigation of the intelligence cases he took on. Gabranth was certain of this because he could think of no other reason why Cid's delinquent son had been assigned to him as his primary assistant.

Spend your time mentoring Ffamran, he was told. Show him how you do analysis. Give him some problems to chew on and see if the two of you can develop a model for identifying suspicious Rozarrian movements.

Prodigal son my ass, he snorted as he looked over the haphazard equations Dr. Cid's third-born had scrawled on the back of a large manilla envelop. If Ffamran put one quarter of his effort into modeling normative cross-border cargo movements as he did in taking three hour lunch breaks while nervously ogling busty barkeeps in Nilbasse, they might find themselves one step closer to an algorithm that could identify anomalous items in Rozarrian shipments to Nabradia.

Gabranth flung the envelop across his desk and it took sail in a perfect arc until it smacked the glass of his office window and slipped head first along the pane, string-tie flap opening and showering a stream of papers onto the floor.

I'd do anything to get rid of this nuisance, Gabranth grumbled as he stooped over to pick up the papers one by one. The thought of breaking his orders so he could take the cocky, gangly teen out for few hours of combat practice was becoming enticing with each passing day.

And that's when he saw it: Drace's handwriting in the margins, Drace's notes on small yellow sheets stuck to the sides of the pages. One sharp inhale and Gabranth was back in his chair. These were documents on a project at Draklor, stamped top secret in red with Cid's signature on the cover page. Sweet Mateus! Just what is Drace investigating and what sort of half-assed threat is Ffamran trying to make?

And then he heard him. No, he heard both of them. Drace's throaty voice had risen into girlish laughter as Ffamran sauntered along side of her, stepping much too close as his hips brushed against hers.

"Your apprentice was telling me at lunch about how well you've been working together," Drace sang as she slowed her step by his door. "See you later," her lips mouthed just before she walked away.

Ffamran's slender body moved like a coeurl stalking his prey as he swaggered to Gabranth's desk and sat on it's edge. He even had the nerve to rest his hand on top of the Draklor papers as he leaned forward just close enough for Gabranth to smell a hint of wine on his breath.

"What is this supposed to mean?" Gabranth was not going to let this spoilt son of the top state scientist take any pleasure in thinking that he had bested a Judge Magister.

Ffamran was now leaning close enough that Gabranth could smell a faint flavor of curry on his breath. Bhujerban food. Drace's favorite place for lunch. Just what did he think he was doing?

"You're supposed to be head of intelligence.” Ffamran’s voice was too smooth for his age. “So I brought you some. Isn't that what you do: investigate?"

"Aye." That one syllable grated in Gabranth's throat like rusted iron.

(continued below)

Re: Gabranth/Ffamran

[vieralynn.livejournal.com]

"Oh, and there is one other bit of intelligence a certain Judge Magister hasn't been so forthright about, at least, not with you."

"Which is...?" His glared into the young judge's eyes. Finding a way to sever his mentorship with Ffamran and send him back into the pool of analysts---if not out of the ninth all together---had now become Gabranth's top priority.

Eyes locked, Ffamran leaned forward until his nose neared the tip of Gabranth's. With an asinine smirk Ffamran slowly tilted his head to one side. Then, jutting his chin forward, his lips pressed firmly against Gabranth's. Curry, wine, defiance, and a quick flick of tongue. Gabranth remained stone-faced. He had made his decision about what to do with this delinquent and he did not care what his superiors would say.

Ffamran slid off the desk with an agile movement more akin to the wandering creatures of the steppe. He stood, languid and smirking, begging to be fired, but firing a Bunansa from a government post was unthinkable and arranging accidental dismemberment in combat practice was, unfortunately, not an option.

Gabranth yanked hard on the handle of his bottom desk drawer. He withdrew a fat, heavy envelop and flung it at Ffamran.

"New assignment." Gabranth pitched his voice low to maintain a steady tone and convey authoritarian control. "YPA Shipwrights has developed a new stealth airship for intelligence gathering operations. The test model just passed its initial test flights. Your assignment is to work with YPA's engineers and their test crew to determine how we should outfit the craft. Weekly reports by wire will suffice. I do not expect to see your face for quite a while."

To Gabranth’s surprise, Ffamran’s eyes lit up as he brought the edge of the envelop to his lips and smirked. Then he turned and sauntered out.

Asshole.

Gabranth slammed shut his desk drawer. That should keep Dr. Cid's cosseted progeny out of his hair for the better part of six months. After that, he would need to find another dead-end assignment for the aristocratic annoyance.

What he hadn't bothered to tell Ffamran was that the ninth was going to shelve the YPA-GB47 Test Combat Fighter project. The damn dual-movable wing design on the airship was just as foolish as Ffamran. They deserved each other.

Heeee. ♥ Oh, Gabranth. Thank you so much!
