frogfarm posting in crossovers Jun. 19th, 2020 08:44 pm)As I close in on the end to this story, I've rewritten the summary in the form of a back cover bestseller blurb, going for (what I hope will be) more effective promotion over (what I know to be) an often misguided desire to avoid spoilers at all costs. I'm very happy with this latest update, which I've been planning and looking forward to since the beginning. And I hope you'll find the few remaining installments as enjoyable and satisfying as I think I do. It's all working out so far...
The Devil, You Know
Dexter / Buffy the Vampire Slayer / Angel
Dexter, Astor, ensemble Dexter/Buffy cast
Gen, M/F (Dexter/Lumen), F/F (Deb/Faith)
Action, drama, comedy, horror, coming of age
Teen and up
Graphic depictions of violence
Current word count: 58,552 words
Post-Dexter 5x12, "The Big One"; post-Buffy 7x22, "Chosen"; post-Angel 5x11, "Damage". Dexter POV.
Miami under moonlight can be murder. But when the dead start to walk and demons come out to play, Dexter Morgan -- forensic analyst and off-hours serial killer of criminals who slip through the cracks -- finds himself caught up in the impossible. Astor has returned, with stunning supernatural powers and dreams of awful portents to come. And the latest new player in town is a dead ringer for her dead mother. As father and stepdaughter learn more of the deadly new secret world they've stumbled into -- a world of vampires, of Slayers, and forces of darkness -- Dexter can see he's coming to a crossroads. But is it too late to choose the right path?
"Crazy good work."
"Really great drama and interpersonal moments."
"Creepy, occasionally funny, and a mess of ugly emotions, exactly as a Buffy/Dexter crossover should be!"
In this triple update:
- A lot of talk, a lot of drama, some action, and a cliffhanger
- Villainous banter, hostages taken, poor emergency planning, bigger cliffhanger
- A little action, a lot of talk, the heaviest drama yet, and an ending with only slightly less cliff
