FINAL FANTASY KISSING BATTLE 2023: FASHIONABLY LATE
murderstomps into the lecture three days late with starbucks what's UP CHUCKLEFUCKS it's time for your favorite kissy event of the year: Final Fantasy Kiss Battle 2023 is a GOOOOO!
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)"
- "Eiko & Vivi, friendship, G"
- "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 IV
Rydia & Yang, Hello and Goodbye, G
"You survived," Yang says.
She remembers him at a campfire, years ago for her and mere months for him, teaching her to set up a tent. When they had small game to cook, he gave her the most tender bits. At the time, she didn't realize it, but she is older now.
"I survived," she agrees.
"'Tis strange indeed to see you a woman grown," Yang says. "You are well?"
She smiles. "I thrived, in the Feymarch."
"Good." He smiles back.
"I asked Leviathan to see you all safely to shore," she says, gravely. "He did not mean the rest of you harm, but a tidal wave does not discriminate." They have all cheated death, more times than she cares to count. She does not care to consider the eventual reckoning.
She glances over her shoulder. The others have left, and she knows that they are waiting for her. This time, she won't leave without a goodbye.
She bends to kiss Yang's cheek. "I'm glad you survived," she says. "The Sylphs will help you return to Fabul, when you're strong enough."
He reaches up to pat her cheek gently. "You need not worry over me."
"Nor you me," she says, and then the impudence breaks through. "You will anyway."
He chuckles. "I've had less time to break the habit than you."
She can't linger. She turns to the leader of the Sylphs. "You must not keep him too long," she says.
"We will not, Lady Summoner." The Sylph does not like it, but Rydia carries the imprimatur of the rulers of the Feymarch with her, and the Sylphs dare not contradict her in this.
She goes, and hopes she will be able to see Yang again.

Surrendering Restraint
Kain supposed it had to do with the hold Golbez had on his mind. It was easier to break his resolve when Kain was sleep deprived, unable to think clearly or to react quickly. At last the preparations were complete for the day. Kain found himself raising and lowering one heel at a time for reprieve. Any moment now, Golbez will dismiss Kain.
When the last servant left the top floor, the door shutting behind her as she descended the stairs, Golbez stood from his desk and stretched his arms behind his back. The magic words Kain yearned for did not come. Golbez turned and took off his helmet.
He'd seen Golbez's face before. Like Cecil, snow white hair spilled over his shoulders, a stark contrast to his dark armor. Unlike Cecil, his face was all sharp angles, his eyes cold and disconnected, and when his eyes met Kain's, he felt as though Golbez did not see a person before him, as though he regarded Kain as a mere object.
"You've been visiting our prisoner far more than necessary to keep her alive," Golbez said.
The last time Kain had lied to him, Kain had lost use of his right arm, with promises of worse treatment to his left if he did it again. There was some remaining damage in his shoulder, and Kain worried it would be permanent.
"Yes," Kain said simply, keeping his eyes forward.
Golbez leaned back on his desk.
"You feel the same for her as Cecil, am I correct?" Golbez asked, knowing the answer.
Kain said nothing. Golbez could hear his thoughts anyways.
"You'd take everything if you could, wouldn't you?" Golbez asked, removing Kain's helmet.
Kain's breath hitched, unsure where the conversation was going. The machinery of the tower whirred silently beneath his feet, sending vibrations up his legs.
"After all," Golbez said, his eyes flickering across Kain's face, his hand reaching out for him, "I don't control you. I merely take away your restraint. Your desires do the rest."
Golbez yanked Kain's ponytail down, making Kain tilt his head up as Golbez stood. Kain was tall, usually towering over everyone else. It was disconcerting to see Golbez standing over him, to see him crane his neck down to meet Kain's eyes. Golbez stepped closer, his chest plate bumping Kain's. Kain hoped Golbez wouldn't feel his heartbeat racing through the armor.
Kain's eyes watered as Golbez pulled harder, worried he would tear his hair outright from his scalp. With the unshed tears blurring his vision, it was almost as if he were looking at Cecil instead.
The familiar sensations Golbez's magic washed over Kain. Invisible mosquitos brushed against his skin, causing him to itch and anticipate sharp bites. It made Kain's skin crawl. Kain shuddered as all other thoughts washed away, leaving only those prompted by his own wants. And those thoughts concerned him, because it meant Golbez knew of them, too.
"Tell me what you want," Golbez said.
Kain swallowed, his mouth dry. Golbez had asked him if Kain shared the same feelings for Rosa that Cecil did, but he now realized there was a different interpretation to the question: did he feel the same for Rosa as he felt for Cecil?
The answer was still yes.
"I--I want to kiss you," Kain whispered, willing the tears to stay where they were, so he could keep Cecil in sight and not Golbez.
Golbez studied Kain quietly. After an eternity, Golbez bent down, his lips meeting Kain's. Kain's arms snaked around Golbez's back, pulling him closer despite the wide armor. Kain wriggled, shifting himself until they fit together somewhat across the rigid chestpieces like a poorly made jigsaw. Golbez matched Kain's fervor, yanking Kain's hair again until Kain parted his lips and granted Golbez entry.
Kain moaned as Golbez explored his mouth, shutting his eyes as heat flooded his body. His hips started to move and he cursed that he was in hard armor and the motions did nothing. His mind whispered that Rosa was only a floor away, and this was his one opportunity to be with her and Cecil both. Golbez pulled away suddenly, leaving Kain gasping for air and ready to pull him back. Thankfully, Kain remembered who he was with. He froze where he was, catching his breath as Golbez regarded him, this time with a bit more curiosity.
"Fascinating…" Golbez said as he turned to walk away. "I'll leave you to your duties."
Kain considered what just transpired, ashamed that Golbez had seen his most hidden desire; he only hoped Golbez wouldn't use the new information he had about Kain to his advantage.
"And," Golbez said as he opened the door, his helmet back on, "when you're done, you can join me in my quarters."
Kain stood to attention until Golbez left, excitement making his heart beat faster once again.
