Dragon Age Kiss Battle!

As hinted/threatened, here it is!

Dragon Age Kiss Battle!


Based on the Kiss Battle that has run in the Final Fantasy fandom for the last few years (credit to [personal profile] seventhe for the most recent variation on the rules), this is just a fun way to celebrate February with lots of fun kissing fanworks. Any kind of kiss is welcome -- het, slash, femmeslash; shippy, familial, gen; cheek kisses, mouth kisses, kissing of... other things; serious fic, fluffy fic, silly fic; fanfic, fanart, whatever you come up with; anything goes!

The post will open to prompts and comments at approximately 9AM Pacific Time, Tuesday February 7th (Click here for the time in your timezone). I don't anticipate closing it at any point, so come by any time! Update: posting is now open!!

Update: I have created a master list of fic, here! If new stories are added, I will link them from the master list.

Update, Feb. 5th 2012: This is the 2012 kiss battle, and as of now it is closed to prompts. If you are interested in participating in the 2013 round, check out the info post!

THE RULES:

  1. To leave a request: Post a comment with a pairing (or moresome) and, if desired, a prompt. Put the pairing/characters in the subject line and the prompt in the body of the comment.

  2. To respond: Reply to the prompting comment. Include characters, rating, and title in the subject line.

  3. Multiple responses are both allowed and encouraged!

  4. There is no limit to the number of prompts you can post.

  5. Please, be kind to others regarding pairing choices, prompts, or anything else. This game is for everyone! :)

  6. Anon commenting is on, as is OpenID, if you neither have nor want a Dreamwidth account.

  7. Send your friends! :D


If you have questions, please ask them here. Thanks, and happy kissing!!

Update: Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] ovo_lexa, there is now a Mass Effect Kiss Battle underway! (Now with bonus correct link! Oops.) Check it out.

The Deep Roads Flu (Nathaniel/Velanna, G)

[personal profile] violacea 2012-02-08 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Velanna starts to look abnormally pale a day into the trip into the Deep Roads. By the time they reach the old thaig - their destination - she’s sweating profusely, and doesn’t offer a protest when Nathaniel puts his arm around her to help her step over some fallen debris. “You really are sick, aren’t you?” he says.

“Thank you for the brilliant insight,” she mutters. She manages to pull herself out of Nathaniel’s grasp, and immediately collapses. “Maybe,” she says as Nathaniel crouches next to her, “we should camp for a little while.”

“Maybe,” he agrees, gathering Velanna into his arms. She’s not very heavy, and doesn’t even make any faces at him when he lifts her. In fact, she lays her head on his shoulder and sighs. She’s asleep before he lays her back down.

When she wakes, he’s built a fire and is setting traps around the perimeter of their camp. Out of the corner of his eye, Nathaniel sees her sit straight up. When he looks over, her eyes are bright and glassy. “Are you okay?”

Velanna shakes her head. “No,” she says, her voice cracking. “No, I don’t think so.”

Nathaniel goes over to kneel next to her. He puts a hand on her forehead. “Andraste’s ass, you’re burning up.”

“Really? Because I’m kind of cold.”

“Not surprising.” He guides her back down onto the pallet and pulls the blanket up to her neck. “We’re pretty secure here. Just rest for a while.”

“But you can’t stay on watch forever,” she protests weakly.

“I’ll manage.”

On a whim, he leans over and kisses her forehead. She chuckles. “I used to do that to Seranni when she got sick.”

“I did it to Delilah,” he admits. “But I’m afraid I don’t have any stuffed animals around, which was my other comfort specialty when I was a child.”

“Kill one of those stupid deepstalkers and stuff it for me.” That’s apparently the funniest thing she’s ever heard, because Velanna starts laughing, and doesn’t stop until she starts coughing violently. “I’m so sick,” she groans when she catches her breath.

“I noticed.” He pats her shoulder. “Sleep. I’ll go try to catch a deepstalker for you.”

This time, she only chuckles weakly as he stands up. He barely hears her speak as he turns away. “Hey, Nathaniel?”

He turns back. “Yes?”

“You know …” Velanna’s voice is dreamy, on the edge of sleep, “I don’t think I’d mind if you did that when I wasn’t sick.”

“Did what?”

“Kiss me. But maybe a little lower.”

Nathaniel stares at her for a minute after her breath evens out into sleep. When he turns away again, he’s grinning. Maybe, he thinks, he will go look for a deepstalker. Just to make her laugh again.

I had to bite my lip to keep from squeeing out loud at work! This was lovely and left me with a big soppy grin on my face. Thank you so much! :D

Oh, man, this is adorable. Which is... actually not something I ever thought I'd say about Velanna. Just lovely!! <3 (Also, deepstalker stuffed animals: creepy. But so perfect.)
