Final Fantasy XIII cosplay recs

When did I go and get hooked on cosplay?

Anyway.

• Lightning FFXIII-2
• Lightning classic
• Fang... (click photo for more)
• 
• Fang Vanille (interesting inversion; Vanille looks older)
• Lightning, Fang, Vanille (a few more good ones on that page)
• The whole crew
• afecdagshjsafdjhbk ETA: HOW did this cosplayer make Fang's folding lance tip actually work??!! Link: "I'll tear down the sky (to find her))"

Pirates + ninjas + crossdressing + sea serpents = WIN (fanfic rec)

mako_lies just drew my attention to this Yuffie (ff7) and Faris (ff5) ficbit:

A ninja and a pirate walk into a bar....

I love crossovers playing on different inflections of the same trope.

And Faris, of course.

ETA: YES I HAVE NO BRAIN and forgot that mako_lies is also the author because I can't remember pseuds sorry facepalm.
