Re: Fill: Lady Ginnem & Yojimbo

This is lovely! I really liked seeing this gentler side of Yojimbo, and the companionship between Yojimbo and Lady Ginnem. I like how you made Lady Ginnem's death the "price" Yojimbo accepts for his service; both of them, in their way, sacrificed their lives for Yevon (Yojimbo by becoming a fayth, and Lady Ginnem in attempting her prematurely-ended pilgrimage... which would have ended in her sacrifice anyways, even if she had gotten the Final Aeon.)

Lady Ginnem gets so little characterization in the game itself, for all that she was very important to Lulu, so it's always nice to see any fic that fleshes her out a bit more. And I always thought the moonlit scene in Yojimbo's summon animation was lovely (and the way Yuna pets Daigoro is also super-cute :D); it really would be a pleasant and peaceful place to be, especially given that Ginnem's end was anything but peaceful.

The ending is so lovely and bittersweet--Lady Ginnem has found this place of refuge with Yojimbo, but inevitably, both of them will have to leave the dream behind.

Thank you for writing this!
