I remember I read this before, when I didn't really like them together, and I figured I should re-read it and IT WAS JUST SO ADORABLE IN THE ENDING. I loved it so much. :3
First off, thank you for entering this in my contest! This definitely is a pairing that I've never read but it's always nice to branch out. :) I really liked the summary; it piqued my interest, especially when I saw the words that you had to include in your story. I really liked that beginning scene; it's such a classic, the one person surrounded by miles and miles of empty desert. You really captured how beautiful that was. :)
To be honest, I usually think of most oneshots/drabbles as photographs; quick snapshots of a moment in time. This isn't necessary a bad thing but your inclusion of actual photographs really gave this story more depth. It made more of a multiple stories inside one story if that makes sense. I really loved that. :) Honestly, this story was so beautiful. You managed to convey such real emotion; I could really relate to Ginger and I could definitely feel his pain. I'm glad you included a happy ending however; I mean, I love bleak endings but I've read a lot of bleak stories today and I needed something to cheer me up a little. It was so wonderfully sweet and you did a great job with this piece. Thank you so much for entering it in my contest!
