frogfarm posting in crossovers May. 26th, 2022 10:35 pm)A much quicker update, this chapter came together very quickly. The basic outline has been in place for a while, but I was surprised and pleased by how much additional material I ended up weaving in, and how well it connects with the rest of the book and the series as a whole.
Severe spoilers for The Devil You Know and The Devil In Disguise. Turn back, or be spoiled.
And the Devil Will Drag You Under
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

Graphic violence, crude language, sexual happenings, alternate universe, off the charts manipulation
Word count: 224,090 words (in progress)
For over a decade, Dexter Morgan cut a swath through a mountain of Miami's finest murderers. Scarred forever as a child, rescued and trained by a cop on the edge, he delivered vigilante justice with a deadpan smile. Clawed his way to the top, to become the most successful serial killer in history.
Until the fates intervened.
Now for the past year, Miami Metro's top blood spatter analyst has been dancing to a different drummer. With Lumen at his side, as well as Slayer stepdaughter Astor, they've faced threats demonic and human; survived magickal curses intended to destroy their family, and laid to rest the ghosts of the past. But when a well-intended spell goes awry, Dexter finds himself thrown headlong into the strangest new world yet. A world with enemies at every turn...and the most unlikely allies. And where the desperate battle for truth may be the very instrument of his destruction.
"You will not believe the joy I felt when I realized you had updated."
"Lots of twists and turns...very interesting, and well written."
"You are doing a great job in maintaining the suspense...a world of uncertainty and violence."
In this installment: In the original universe: Aftermath. Lumen tries to explain. And Deb attempts a confession. And in current universe: The state of Spike. Harry the bloodhound. Vince sets boundaries and receives more than one apology. Astor and Lumen, on the brink. The many faces of the First Evil. Brian's last chance. Lumen's crisis point. The final flashback. And the end of an era. All in the antepenultimate chapter (if you don't count the epilogue) of AND THE DEVIL WILL DRAG YOU UNDER. So what are you waiting for?
