Phil Lester, an amateur photographer trapped in a monotonous life, is the last person to see Toby Stanford’s killer before they disappear into London’s crowds. He decides to keep that a secret – alongside the photos of them he has stashed away in his backpack. In a matter of hours, he is flung into a new life: one of clues and murders and lies. In a world swarming with surveillance, it’s a battle against time and the police. But Phil will find this killer, and he’ll get his story – or will he? Sometimes, not even a camera can capture exactly what is living beneath the surface.
Author’s Notes: HELLO! holy moly, it’s been a while. this fic was….a lot. especially as i’ve NEVER written this genre before, so it was quite crazy, but fun, to explore. i hope to gain more practice and experience in writing in this genre in the future, definitely! 

a HUGE THANK YOU to @daegukkie for coming up with this idea with me, to @nataliadeluckah for being such a helpful and thorough (and sarcastic) beta, and @evermoriver for being such an incredible artist and putting so much talent and effort into creating beautiful art! i couldn’t have done any of this without you all. my gratefulness extends beyond words.

finally, thank you to all of you! for reading this, and for following me, and for being so kind to me. 

(also i haven’t had as much time to edit this as i’d like, i’m very busy with school at the moment, so sorry if some parts seem lacking/there are mistakes! i’m not experienced with this genre either, i’m still learning, so i know that this is by no means the ULTIMATE product. that being said, i’m proud of it, and think it’s quite a good read. or so i’m told….)
