seventheHELLO FRIENDS????? Remember those fandoms we all used to be in? and producing things for? Well, baby, it's time for a nostalgia run, so buckle up your chocobos and get ready to roll. We haven't done a Kiss Battle in years and lassarina and I for one think it's TIME TO DO SO.
This event is open to everyone, even if we aren't DW circlefriends! (feel free to friend me too; i promise i'm not crazy that's a lie). If you aren't on DW, you can still play via anon or OpenID!
The Kiss Battle is simple. Players leave prompts in comments under each specific fandom, using generalized fandom nomenclature: a relationship of some sort, and a concept to inspire other players.
- For romantic relationship kisses, we use X / Y
- For platonic relationship kisses, we use X & Y
- Absolutely open to relationships with more than 2 people involved! X / Y / Z (/ A / B ...) welcome to this party!
- Prompts can be a word, a sentence, an image, a song lyric; it's a suggestion, rather than a request
- it's a kiss battle! there will be smooches!
Players then go looking for smoochin' prompts they'd like to fill. Fills can be fic, art, interpretive dance, whatever you're inspired to; they can be filled in a responding comment, or as a link (to AO3, tumblr, etc). FILLS GOTTA HAVE A KISS IN 'EM. IT'S A KISS BATTLE. What counts as a "kiss" is up to you, though -- you can be creative!
- Fills should use the comment header to let people know what the fill is; please use a format like "X / Y, (title), (rating), (any content warnings that might apply)"
- "Aerith/Tifa, memorial, G"
- "Cloud/Squall, just in time, R (blood)"
- Prompts can be filled multiple times! Don't worry if someone got there first; we love Two Cakes up in this event! The more kisses we get, the better!
- You can fill as anon if you want/need for any reason
- You can of course crosspost anywhere you'd like
It's a very simple game, and is meant to be played in good faith without anybody being a shitbag about pairings or characters. We're all too old for this.
FANDOM LINKS Fandoms with compilations and expansions should fall into their titled macrofandom. For example:
- FFXIII also includes FFXIII-2 and Lightning Returns (FFXIII-3)
- FFX also includes X-2
- FFIV includes the After Years
If you need to specify a certain microfandom / singular canon, please do so in the prompt or in the comment header!

The memory of that moment haunts Alisaie.
She had just finished dispatching the Red Kojin after the Warrior of Light defeated Susano, and was now striding up the beach to where Lyse and the Warrior waited. Alisaie could hear the two of them talking. Was that panic in Lyse's voice? Lyse was demanding to go after Alisaie, rather insistently.
With a bemused smile, Alisaie announced her presence. To her surprise, Lyse enveloped her in a big hug. Alisaie sputtered and protested, but her body couldn't help thinking that this hug felt, well, nice.
Uncomfortably nice.
Since then, Alisaie thinks of the memory of Lyse's arms around her far too often.
--In the morning, still half asleep, when she's not sure if the memory is real or a dream.
--After lunch, when she's out on patrol. The memory sneaks in and she curses and tries to push it away, for she knows she needs to stay focused, because to not do so is to risk death. And yet she can't quite manage to banish the memory from her thoughts, so instead she gives in to it in her own way, imagining Lyse beside her, dancing on her toes the way she does when she's about to attack.
--At dinner, when Alphinaud is blathering on about how to fix the aetheryte. Alisaie's forced to ask him to repeat himself at times, earning her a frown, which she just waves off and asks, "You were saying?"
--At night, when she's lying awake in bed. The memory comes on the strongest, and she sighs and finds herself praying to the gods that Lyse is alright, wherever she is in the Azim Steppe.
It's too long until Lyse and the others return, but they finally do, and Alisaie forces herself to act normal when she first spots them, but her heart lurches at the sight of Lyse who lifts her hand in that little wave she does. "Oh, you've got it bad, girl", she mutters under her breath, but her twin's standing beside her and he asks, "What was that?" Alisaie startles and quickly says, "Nothing. Just some idle thought of no import," but fears her cheeks may be blushing.
Everyone's busy the next few days, including Alisaie who for once doesn't find herself so distracted, but perhaps that is because the object of her distraction is close at hand. She revels in the time she steals with Lyse. They share a meal, and Alisaie listens in rapture as Lyse tells her all about the trial of the Mol and the tests from the Orinir.
And then Lyse sits up taller and says, "Oh! And another thing..." and Alisaie can't help it, she bursts into a girlish giggle, prompting Lyse to ask, "What?"
"Nothing. You're just so... you," Alisaie responds.
"Well, of course I am," Lyse says in that matter-of-fact way she has. "Who else would I be?" And then Lyse plunges on with her story, and Alisaie smiles and continues eating but she's thinking, I've got to do something about this.
A moment later Alisaie can't bear it any longer. "Lyse. Shut up," she says, gently.
She expects Lyse to look hurt, but the other girl just looks confused a second, and then her eyes widen as Alisaie cups Lyse's face with her hands and kisses her softly. Alisaie sits back a bit and Lyse says, "Oh! That was unexpected."
"But not unwelcome?" Alisaie asks, hopefully.
"No, of course not," Lyse says, grinning, and then she leans forward and kisses Alisaie back.
