“The two of us were always very close as children. We had to be; it was that or go insane.”
–Strider’s Edge, Chapter 10
This shoot was huge amounts of fun, everyone involved was wonderful, and I don’t even care that cosplaying fic probably means I am inextricably in too deep. (At least it’s really good fic).

Strider’s Edge by paraTactician (cosplayed with permission)What I spent my first Monday in London doing: photography direction for this brilliant thing.
(hi, pT)
Oh my God.
The author’s dead, I know, but if my feeble, croaking voice can reach you guys from beneath the earth: this is astonishing. I have to admit when Linden told me people were doing a Strider’s Edge cosplay I sort of chuckled affectionately and thought ‘oh, I hope they don’t screw it up too badly’, but my person was emphatically not prepared for the completely illegal degree of hotness on display here.
If anyone ever wanted to know what the movie of SE would look like: it would look like this. The third picture is Dave Lalonde in a photograph, it’s a better character note for him than any thousand words I could write. I have never been more delighted to post something on my blog, and I’m incredibly flattered people used some stuff I wrote on the Internet as inspiration for such beautiful photos.
