There's no graceful way to have a self-confidence crisis that we're now repeating winners and I still haven't managed to get one yet, is there? Of course, it's not like I want the judge of the week to go 'Okay, so now let's choose between those who haven't won...' either. It's just...

But congratulations, Jenovan. That was a really powerful entry.

[Sialater]

Congrats, Jenovan!

 Gah, ok, I did some more tweaks to my alternative Elf Female kiss.  It's here on youtube.  Youtube cut off the fadeout which is unfortunate, but at least it shows the positioning changes. I just did some minor facial expression and position tweaks.  Like almost everything I do, it's up on ZDF's page on DANexus.

The breakup kiss...  Ugh, I'm not sure I can do more of them.  Which means they won't go in the game (I'd have to change dialog in a couple of places).  Zevran breakups are just hard to deal with, and having the kiss in there makes them that much worse

AND!  Congratulations Jenovan!

Oh my goodness, thanks so much, Tanith and everybody!  This was such a great prompt, and some of the entries were really heartbreaking.   (Fortunately others were hilarious to balance it out. XD)

I've got a prompt in mind, I'll get it posted tomorrow~ :3

 Long-time lurker first time poster (at least on this thread)....Congrats jenovan!  Especially because Devin is such an awesome name  ( and Devon is even more ridiculously awesome, might I just say.  I *might* be a bit biased though....  )

Also just have to say congrats to Herr Uhl on a non-entry that completely cracked me up.  I gotta check this thread out more often.

Congrats, Jenovan! Very well-deserved.

I appear to lack the ability to do prompts now, but it's nice reading/seeing everyone's entries!

The fixed (hopefully final) version of my alternative dwarf kiss.  This is the kneeling kiss made into the default; I changed the camera a bit, gave the dwarf a little bit of a facial expression at the beginning and most importantly, closed Zevran's eyes.  Yay for dwarf kisses!

(This is kind of cheating. Since I already wrote about the first kiss in the fanfic,  I decided to illustrate it with my time for the prompt.)
____________________________________
She saw a flash of blonde out of the corner of her eye and Zevran emerged from the shadow of the house, looking away from them both politely. Dog went up to her and sniffed her boots, sneezing suddenly.

"Was that it?" Alistair asked. "That… shrew was my sister?"

Missa put her hands on her hips, watching as the mabari stretched out in front of her in a yawn. "Sorry salroka," she said roughly. "'Can't chose your blood, can't chose your caste,' as the saying goes. Well, for my folk anyway."

He looked at her with red eyes, confused slightly. "But… isn't that what family should do?"

She laughed at that, and Alistair looked at her sharply. "You say this to me now? After you heard me tell you about my Mother? And you expect me to answer that? Just because she's blood, it does not mean she should be your family, no. Not at all."

Alistair flashed her an angry look. "Don't rub it in, alright? Just… drop it." He turned on his heel and walked away then, and with an annoyed sigh she followed him.

"Alistair, wait."

"Leave it," and he carried on walking.

Missa ran ahead of him and pushed him back. "No, you'll listen. You need to start standing up for yourself, toughen up and realise that there's not many people on this earth that give a **** about you. You have to start surviving."

"That's an awful thing to say," he said, looking down at her.

"I know it is," she said reasonably. "You have to start looking out for you. Because I can't be everywhere, even if you are my salroka."

Missa thought arrogantly her words would be a comfort. Instead he reacted in an entirely different way. "Are you happy now?" He shouted back, face red.

"I… Alistair, I'm not, no. I'm sorry that-"

"You're sorry? I doubt it. It makes it easier for you if the world is at your level, right? That way you don't have to think too hard and hope. And Maker forbid if anyone shows anyone some kindness or charity, because that doesn't exist to you, does it?"

She stopped then trying to reason, as angry as him. "You go very carefully now," she said, every word precise. "As you may end up saying something you regret, and I'll have to respond. And you won't like that."

"Fine," he said shortly. He left her then in the centre of the market, the people walking in the space he left.

"Damn it," she said to no one in particular. Dog padded up to her and butted her leg with a whine, and she pushed him away. "Damn it, damn it."

"Warden," Zevran said quietly to her then, appearing by her side.

"Still here?" She said shortly, hands on hips.

"Of course. I am a man of my word."

"Careful now. I can take that in many, many different ways."

Zevran chuckled and looked at her, eyes sweeping her face briefly. "Ah, the possibilities."

Missa looked up at him as appraisingly as he had done earlier, gaze lingering over tanned, lithe flesh before staring briefly into his peculiar eyes. She then did something she had no idea how she started, and grabbed his shoulders and kissed him roughly.



It wasn't an elegant kiss; it was teeth bumping and dry lips, and as soon as it melted into something more serious she pushed him away. "Don't know why I did that," she said, a hand to her mouth.

Zevran rubbed a thumb over his lower lip and raised an eyebrow. "Impulsiveness is the very blood of living; it does not need explaining. I do not mind, however. You can be impulsive around me as often as you like."

Missa fixed him a look and pursed her lips. "I was… angry. And took it out on you. So, uh, sorry." Zevran gave her look that said he wasn't fooled about something, but remained silent, a sardonic smile playing his lips.

"Of course."

"Let's go find the others," she said roughly. Missa shook herself before she moved, and refused to look at him for the rest of the day.

@ICevol - Loved the story about Kai and Zev meeting Anders.



@ejoslin - oh, shiny. That kiss is amazing



@jenovan - fun prompt. will have to think about this one.



@soignee - I usually try to avoid looking at prompt entries until mine is done, but Missa and Zev art with the exerpt from DDW - I couldn't stay away. I am always amazed by how much emotion you can convey with your art - perhaps it's a better fit for Missa is some ways - she can't say it but she can show it.

[Sialater]

I have something funny in mind, but I suck at humor...

@ tankgirly: Thanks for posting that cartoon. So cute. I’m getting a kick out of Sten’s reaction *giggle*
 
@FutileSine: *waves* welcome to the party!

@ Kornichon: chibi Zevran is adorable! I just want to pinch his cheeks.
 
And no, I don’t mind you posting the story link – I’m so happy that you liked it! *grin*
 
@jenovan: Ooohhh… this prompt is awesome. I’m looking forward to seeing what comes from this one – nice!
 
@soignee – beautiful art, once again. I love the watercolor texture and the dark shadows surrounding Zev and Missa.
 
@Tanith – thanks! Anders is a fun character. I’m now considering shelling out the 30$ to play Awakenings because I ended up liking him so much, though I don't plan to play it with any Zev-romancing Wardens

Dual Wielding Kisses

Sten had stared rudely at the young couple, muttering only, "Most unsanitary," before continuing on his way.  But he had that look about him, so no one was surprised when he demanded later in camp: "What is the meaning of this pressing of the lips?"

Leiliana looked up at him, bemused.  "It is a kiss, Sten. Do not the qunari kiss?"

"No, we do not.  What is its meaning?"

"It shows affection," Leiliana explained.  "Familial or romantic."

"The qunari do not form such bonds.  They only serve to entangle."

"You've never been kissed?"  Leiliana looked astounded.  "Oh Sten!  How sad!"

"Believe me, I am in no hurry to remedy the situation," the giant deadpanned.  "It appears to be an unpleasantly moist experience."

"Oh no!  Not at all!  Why, I remember my first kiss." Leiliana clasped her hands around her knees, smiling as she gazed into her memories.  "Lady Cecile was hosting a grand ball, a masquerade.  I danced several times with a very handsome gentleman much too old for me, and he gave me the gentlest, loveliest kiss before he disappeared.  I never did find out who he was."

"Hehhhh.  Reminds me of my first time, too.  Well, first kiss, I suppose," Oghren put in.  The companions looked at him warily, mindful of how Storytime with Uncle Oghren usually ended.  "Some noble's daughter thinkin' she could go slumming by the Proving Grounds without the Warriors knowing.  Heh.  Like the guard shadowing her didn't give it away, right?  I was a young buck, barely into my beard; I remember she had the biggest, roundest - "

"Oghren!" Wynne protested.

" - shield, and an axe," he continued, unperturbed.  "And a mighty fine rack.  We went a few rounds, got good and sweaty, and swapped spit while her guard was busy sparring with a friend of mine.  Never did catch her name.  Good times, yeah... good times."

"And you, Warden?"  Zevran's usual purr contained more than a bit of smirk, and half the group was hiding smiles.  Ruthna Aeducan, former dwarven noble and noted axe-and-shieldmaiden, had grown progressively paler and more horrified as Oghren had narrated his anecdote.

"Uh... that is... well... surely I have nothing as interesting to tell as you, Zevran," Ruthna dodged.

"I cannot even recall my first kiss.  What fair Leiliana neglected to mention, Sten, is that the kiss may be used to feign affection as well."

"Which is why I eschew them," Morrigan pronounced.  The witch had appeared to take a portion of the stew that cooked by the main fire, but was apparently unable to leave without a parting sally.  "I agree with Sten: slobbery, awkward and unnecessary."

"My dear, then you do not know what you are missing!"

"And do you propose to show me, then?"  "Neither do I."  Morrigan's sharp retort and Alistair's glum observation came out together.

"My friend Alistair?  Also never kissed?  Tsk, tsk.  Come, there is no need for either of you to languish so.  Allow me to remedy the situation."

Alistair blinked at him.  "You're joking, right? Tell me you're joking."

Morrigan put her free hand on her hip.  "Stab you in the face, I said, and I meant it.  Do not test me on this."

Zevran sighed sadly.  "You are both lacking in imagination and deviousness.  Consider if you both accepted my offer!"

The witch and the templar stared blankly for a moment, but Oghren - not lacking at all in the imagination department when it came to this sort of thing - guffawed.  Zevran swept a hand out dramatically to gesture to the rude dwarf.  "Oghren understands!  Come now!"

"I am glad to think differently than the dwarf," Morrigan sniffed.  

Chuckling, Oghren said to her, "The look on his face...", nodding towards Alistair.

"The look on her face," Zevran spelled it out for Alistair, indicating Morrigan.  

"Is this what passes for comraderie among you people?" Sten asked distastefully.

Morrigan and Alistair each considered the other for a long moment, weighing personal animosity against the cost of a kiss.  Oghren chanted, "Do it, do it, do it," under his breath until Ruthna and Leiliana both swatted him. 

"Absolutely not."  "No, I don't think so."  The assassin responded to the simultaneous answers with a long sigh that left him looking utterly deflated.  "Well, let it not be said that I did not try to assist my boon companions in adding to the full experience of their lives."

Oghren perked up at that.  "Hey, you know, the one who started this whole sodding conversation still - "

"No."
