Kissing Thursday

[classics-lover.livejournal.com]

Good Thursday to one and all, darlings, I remain classics_lover, hosting this week. Today's theme is simple, but hopefully will prove popular: Kisses. Prompts must feature kisses of any kind. Maybe a dog is kissing his master, maybe it's a first kiss, last kiss, a simple peck on the cheek or a kiss that leads to something more. Have fun!

Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and fandom's full name for ease adding to the Lonely Prompts spreadsheet.
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above mentioned spoiler cut.

Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt

Some examples to get the ball rolling...

😗 Greek Myth, Hector/Helen, a peck on the cheek

😗 Any fandom with a dog, dog + any, doggie kisses

😗 Dragon Age, any/any, favourite kiss

We are now using AO3 to bookmark filled prompts. If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3 please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2016 collection. See further notes on this new option here.

FILL: Dragon Age: Inquisition, Lace Harding/Josephine Montilyet - Flowers

[megan-moonlight.livejournal.com]

Lace Harding was sitting in the Outskirts Camp in Hinterlands, helping the requisition officer with making a list of all the resources Inquisitor Cadash had collected on the way to and from Redcliffe. It looked like they would have to send scouts for additional chests to pack everything, because there were almost five bags of various kinds of metals alone.

She was about to check the contents of the last bag, which, according to what Sera had said, was "weed, weed and some more weed," when she heard two people approaching her. Dorian snorted at something the Inquisitor said and Lace turned around to see the dwarf carrying next two bags, Dorian walking next to him.

"Don't pretend yer not impressed. It was a fine technique I used there," the Inquisitor said and Dorian raised one eyebrow at him.

"I have to admit, I have never seen anyone using an axe quite like that."

"It was all a part of the plan," Cadash smirked, winking at Dorian, before he turned to look at Lace, placing the bags next to the other ones gently. "Here ya go. We found some more herbs, some of it pretty rare, or so Dorian says."

The Inquisitor stretched his arms above his head, telling her he’d help her to arrange all the herbs as soon as he eats something and she smiled, promising to leave one or two bags for him.

She heard them walk away, Dorian teasing Inquisitor Cadash about his fighting technique again, as she got back to work. Getting everything out and arranging always took some time, but she didn’t mind. It’s not like there was anything else for her to do that day.

She managed to organize elfroot, embrium and blood lotus in piles, but as she took out another herb from the bag it was not any of the three she had expected to find. It was a Crystal Grace. Even if she wasn’t sure how much time had passed since the Inquisitor collected it, the plant’s flowers still looked intact and beautiful. Touching the light blue petals gently with one finger, she couldn’t help smiling.

Right away she thought of similar flowers she had collected when she had been preparing a bouquet for Josephine a few weeks back. She had been on a mission in Hinterlands then, too, and she had spent all her breaks collecting all the flowers she thought Josephine would like, a thank you gift for all the help and notes Josephine had been sending her, little gifts that had never failed to make Lace smile.

Unlike the previous ones, Lace had handed that bouquet in person, hoping she hadn’t misread anything, and it was also the first time Josephine had kissed her. It had been a shy and gentle kiss, a barely-there press of the Ambassador’s soft lips against the corner of hers, but to Lace it was perfect. They shared many kisses since that memorable day, but their first one will always be her favourite.


Moving back, Josephine had looked down at the flowers, her lips curling in a small smile when she had noticed one flower of a Crystal Grace among them. She had mentioned that no one had given her any of them before, and since then, whenever Lace was gathering herbs she always made sure to find at least one flower of Crystal Grace, just to see this gentle smile on Josephine’s face again.

“Is there something wrong with that flower?”

Lace looked up to see the Inquisitor looking at her, clearly confused and scratching his head. How long was she sitting there and looking at the flower, she wasn’t sure, but she smiled at the Inquisitor when he walked up to her.

“No, I was just thinking about something.”

“Would this ‘something’ involve, perhaps, contemplating a gift for our resident Ambassador?” Dorian asked, looking at the herb Lace placed carefully in her satchel. She could feel a blush rising to her cheeks at Dorian’s question.

“Maybe.”

“There were more of those near the farms, ya know,” Inquisitor Cadash said, opening the next bag of herbs. “I might’ve accidentally stepped on some, but I tried not to crush too many.”

“That was very considerate of you, Inquisitor,” Lace joked and he snorted.

“I’m always happy to help.”

Lace went back to arranging the herbs, already planning to collect flowers for the next bouquet.

Aw, this is lovely! And Dorian's sideline matchmaking eye helps, too :)

I'm glad you enjoyed it :D

Let me tell you, it took me about 15 minutes to choose which pairing I wanted to write. I was considering about 10 of them, and I'm quite tempted to write a fic inspired by this prompt for all of them *lol*
