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 II
Maria/Layla, Other Harbors, G
-----
"Layla, wait!"
The pirate captain was halfway down the dock when Maria called out, but she did hear, and halted as she glanced over her shoulder. Layla had an appraising look in her eye - much the same as Maria had seen when they'd first met, and the offer of passage on her ship was made. It left Maria feeling... similarly uneasy, though by now she should have learned that Layla was trustworthy.
And that was the point, wasn't it? That was why Maria had followed when Layla had stated her intention to set out. "Layla, before you set sail," she said, slowing as she came near to where Layla stood, hands on hips, watching her with curiosity - "I wanted to say that I'm sorry."
Layla's eyes squinted at her, her head tilted, as if taken aback. "Sorry, lass? For what?"
"To begin with, I know I was rather suspicious of you when we met..."
"Indeed." Layla smirked. "But were you mistaken?"
...That was a good point. "Yet you've proven to be a strong ally," Maria continued. "We wouldn't be here now without your ship - and all the help you've given us, fighting at our side and strengthening our defenses. And if you hadn't been there when that... thing, the false princess, tried to take Firion..."
Layla chuckled. "Ah, I wager he'd have escaped - that boy's too pure for his own good. Don't know if he can truly be tempted."
Maria bit down on her immediate response to that suggestion, and the implications. "And... about that, too." This was the awkward part. "I meant to apologize for being a bit... protective of him. Or possessive, if it came off that way."
"No need," Layla assured her, her posture and her smirk both relaxing a bit. To Maria's mind, it made her look more earnest. "'Twas a bit of fun, that's all. You've got a fine young man, and you're welcome to him. I find my harbor elsewhere, thank ya very much."
Maria wasn't sure if she was more relieved, or embarrassed. "It's... not quite like that. Firion's like a brother to me."
Layla raised an eyebrow. "That so?"
"It is." At least it had seemed that way most of their lives...
A hint of skepticism had crept into the way Layla was regarding her. "If you say so," Layla said even so, and casually flipped her windblown hair back over her shoulder, looking up at her ship alongside the dock for a moment before glancing back at Maria. "Is there some other fella waitin' for you at home, then?" At the light shake of Maria's head, she laughed quietly. "You're as pure as he, ain't ya?"
"That's..." ...Somewhat humiliating, but true. Even after all they'd been through, Maria couldn't help but feel somewhat small, childish, in the presence of such a wild, self-confident woman as Layla.
Layla waited for a moment for Maria to finish the thought, but then shrugged dismissively. "You're a sweet girl, Maria," Layla told her. "You don't even know what I meant about finding my harbor elsewhere, do you?"
"Of course I do." Maria might have been indignant, if she wasn't distracted by wondering why Layla was stepping closer to her. "You're a pirate, you spend your life on the seas. You wouldn't settle down in one-"
Maria quieted abruptly as Layla's hand rose to cup her cheek. Before Maria could even think of how to ask what Layla was doing, Layla was leaning in, pressing her lips against Maria's.
Taken by surprise, Maria froze. The sound of the wind blowing in off the water was in her ears, and Layla's lips caressed hers like the waves it stirred up. They were soft - unexpectedly gentle, given to whom they belonged.
Before she could think any further about it, Layla had drawn back, her lips once again merely smirking. "...Oh," was all Maria could say.
"You're right, you know," Layla told her with a merry laugh as she turned away, continuing down the dock to board her ship. "I'm not one to settle down. But if you ever think you might like to explore other harbors, just keep your eye out. 'Less the sea swallows me up, I'll come around eventually."
Maria watched Layla walk up the plank, offering no more than a half-wave over her shoulder as she approached her crew, who immediately darted about following her orders. ...Just like Firion, Maria was certain she should not even be entertaining Layla's offer.

Thank you for this. =) Very warm and fuzzy, in a pirate-y sort of way. Exactly what I wanted to see. =D
