All prompts will be organized by fandom, using Master Links. When leaving prompts, please put it under the right canon! If in a compilation canon, please include 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.

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 2014

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'!

Dancing

The courtiers at Ashe's coronation dance so gracefully and so beautifully. Penelo watches wistfully in her storebought finery, aware that even if some minor noble asked her to dance (whether mistaking her for true nobility or even on the tenuous strength of her claim to heroism and the queen's ear) she would probably make a fool of herself.

There is a tap at her shoulder, and she looks up in surprise to find Balthier standing there. He holds out a hand to her, smiling gallantly. "Would you do me the honor, milady?"

She blinks at him stupidly. "I--- what--- who--- me?"

He laughs. "Yes, of course, my darling dear--- why shouldn't we; we're both beggars at this feast, after all---" his eyes lift from hers, and she follows his gaze across the room to where Ashe--- Queen Ashe--- stands, surrounded by admirers, sycophants, hangers-on.

Penelo is suddenly aware that Ffamran mied Bunansa might well have been admitted to that circle--- she doesn't quite understand the Archadian version of nobility, with the wrenches that elections and advancement through accomplishment throw into a simple peerage system, but his family was well-placed enough, of that she is sure.

The sky pirate Balthier is another matter, though, hero or not, and yet he is stubborn enough, independent enough that though his father is dead (and was never mad to begin with, had a goal that even Penelo can grudgingly agree with, to free humanity from their not-exactly-godly masters) he will not resume his name and station.

And so he stands here with her; as he says, beggars at the feast. And asks a budding sky pirate for a dance when he would rather lay his hand in a queen's.

She gets to her feet, riding a wave of mingled pity and exasperation. "I'd be delighted," she says, drawing his attention back to her.

On impulse, she stretches and kisses his cheek. He blinks at her, surprised, and then his eyes fix on her and a slow smile spreads over his lips. "Perhaps we won't have to spend the evening begging after all," he says with a hint of mirth and a hint of promise, and she thinks that even being the ingenue and not his leading lady might be no bad thing.
