Final Fantasy Kissing Battle 2013

RULES

This year, we're creating Master Links for each fandom. When leaving prompts, please put it under the right canon! If in a compilation canon, please leave the important details!

To leave a prompt: leave one prompt per comment, with FANDOM: CHARACTERS/RELATIONSHIP in the subject line and your prompt in the body.

To leave a fill: reply to the comment in question. Please use the subject line of your comment to label your work: TITLE (if relevant), FANDOM, CHARACTERS/RELATIONSHIP, RATING (ANY KINKS, WARNINGS, FLAGS).

There should be kissing! All kinds of kisses are welcome: gen, shippy, smutty, chaste, familial, friendly, angry, happy! We’re pretty open to anything you want to call kissing. We are fans of all of it.

Fanart, fanfiction, drabbles, doodles, live action movies -- whatever you want to supply, we’d like to have it.

Be kind to others regarding character or ship choices and prompts. This should be fun for everyone!

Prompt early, prompt often, and leave as many as you want.

Prompts can be filled multiple times!

To leave a blitzkrieg kiss: If you have something but no one has prompted it yet, blitzkiss away! Just reply to the comment for your fandom, and make sure you use the subject line to label your work.

Be sure to check back often -- new kissing action could be showing up everywhere!

Spread the word! Tell your friends!

FINAL FANTASY KISS BATTLE 2013

We will be running the Kissing Battle on Dreamwidth only. There are two main reasons for this: 1) Dreamwidth’s comment limit is huge, allowing for longer kissing masterpieces; and 2) Dreamwidth still supports subject lines for comments, which are vital to a meme like the Kiss Battle. However, the Battle is open to everyone. Feel free to participate with your Dreamwidth (account creation is invite-free right now~!), your Livejournal or other OpenID account (see here if you want to set up an OpenID), or anonymously.

Have fun! Get smoochin'!

A/N: Here, have some actual OGC this time, and also some actual goddamn kissing.

Rosa has always loved them both; but the laws and customs of Baron say she can’t have them both. So she must needs look to other criteria.

There is Cecil, the dark knight who glows like the moonlight, soft and innocent and kind to imperfections; Cecil, who became a dark knight at the king’s bidding and not his own will.

Cecil, who kisses her hand reverently, or her cheek tenderly, who never so much as hints at impropriety even when she visits his quarters in the dark of night, as she is wont to do, a habit started in childhood that she would make somewhat more if not for his innocence.

And there is Kain, a dragoon like his father before him (and against the king’s wishes), Kain whose hair glints gold in the sunlight it resembles, Kain who burns hot and impatient like the sun, is quick to anger and ever walks his own road (for all that as a dragoon it’s as likely to be a jump).

Kain, whose eyes go wide with shock when she finds him in a dark corner, but who bends readily enough to her and whose mouth burns like fire on hers.

Burns like his eyes when he sees her with Cecil; but he keeps his own counsel.

Cecil takes no liberties, but she finds the poems or the flowers amid her things in the white mages’ workrooms, where a dark knight should not go.

Light and darkness in them both, and Kain is the sun as Cecil is the moon.

The moon is gentler than the sunlight, and Cecil is the more biddable of the two.

Love has nothing to do with it, in the end.

Ouch. That last line is brutal and yet so true. I like Rosa here, not a paragon of innocence ~~who questions your intent~~ but someone who makes choices rationally and with an eye to her future.

Thanks so much!!! I have ALL THE THOUGHTS about this aspect of the triangle--- Rosa jumped off the screen at me from her first appearance as someone who is fairly practical and no-nonsense (just the way she takes Cecil to task for his brooding--- and given that Kain broods like it was an Olympic sport that's also a factor in her choices, lol), and then the way she takes Kain's part after he was possessed by Golbez does not have the feel of Just Friends to me.... Hence this little bit of running headcanon.

AND OH MY GOD YOU QUOTED SAVATAGE AT ME!!!!!!!!! I also have ALL THE 'TAGE LOVE. *squeakssqueakssqueaks*

Brooding is an Olympic sport; Kain will hear no words to the contrary. XD

heeee! I had a friend who was very into Savatage and that sort of bled over into an Exalted game once, where there was a deathknight named the Paragon of Tainted Innocence, and she at one point looked up through her lashes at someone and said "Sir, I am a paragon of innocence, and I question your intent." It was perfect.

This is true. *chortle* After all, if it weren't an Olympic sport, all that high quality practicing he's put in would be for naught.

...oh, that is priceless, priceless, priceless. I am DYING here. But I died happy.

2013 KISS BATTLE!
