halfamoon | The Women of Final Fantasy 9: Fic Rec

I've gotten myself all re-obsessed with Final Fantasy 9 lately. So here be a motley collection of some of my favorite fic featuring the FF9 girls for your perusal!

(A bit of a Beatrix and Freya bias. I apologize, but they are my favorites...)

Note: These are all Fanfiction.net links and the site ads have been super-duper obnoxious to me today. Fair warning.
