FINAL FANTASY KISS BATTLE 2022!!!
well HELLO FRIENDS????? after MUCH delay which is MY OWN FAULT, i am here to present to you the tiny fandom event of the year: Final Fantasy Kiss Battle 2022!!
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 but at least i'm sometimes funny). 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!

Re: FINAL FANTASY XV
Ignis/Gladio [T - angst] I Won’t Break
Ignis closes the door behind him and sighs. Noctis and Prompto have disappeared once again, as they often do the nights Gladio acquiesces to a motel. He knows Noctis is capable of protecting himself, but he doubts how perceptive the pair of them might be on a night like this.
“Did you see where they—“
He turns back into the room where Gladio stands alone, staring into the middle distance. He seems to be turning something over in his mind. Ignis knows the feeling: the fate of Eos rests in the hands of their brooding king and his tiny entourage. It’s a fraught sort of hopeful hopelessness in which they remain two steps behind their foes. It’s enough to keep him awake most nights of late—but in this moment, Ignis is concerned as Gladio is still hurt from whatever he was off seeing to. They just left a hotel the night before. It usually takes a lot more persuading from the boys to land them in a proper room.
Gladio finally registers Ignis’ return, offering him a goofy sort of grin as he rubs at the new scar on his chest.
“Let me take a look at that,” Ignis says with some amount of exasperation.
Gladio smirks and shirks off his jacket, letting it drop to the floor in a soft heap of leather. Normally, Ignis would take this moment to intimately appreciate their shield’s impressive physique, but the thick angry scar that nearly bisects the man is more than concerning. He closes the distance between them as he removes his gloves. Gladio stops smirking and finds something of interest on the ceiling as Ignis carefully begins tracing his fingers over the mark.
“And how many restoratives did this require?” he asks, barely more than a whisper.
“All of them, I think,” Gladio answers. He touches Ignis’ elbows gently, coaxing him closer.
Ignis holds his position.
“You need to be more careful. Noctis needs you.” Ignis runs his fingers over the mark once more. “We all do,” he says, meeting Gladio’s face once more as rubs a thumb into the crease of Gladio’s hip.
“I won’t break,” Gladio says before tilting his forehead down to touch against Ignis’.
“And if you do?”
“I won’t. If you’ve got my back, anyway.”
Ignis sighs. “I do, of course.”
Gladio laughs half-heartedly as he moves his hands to rest on Ignis’ hips. There is so much Ignis wants to say, so much he wants to ask: where could Gladiolus possibly go at a time like this, do you know how much you mean to me, what will we do if we make it past the end of days? Instead, he says nothing, and he presses a hand into Gladio’s hair to pull his face down to his in a kiss.
At least for tonight, they will still have this.
