Crossovers

Warning: Brief character contemplation of suicide. If anyone reading this is feeling the same, please talk to someone. I've been there myself, and very recently.

My little gift to all you crazy people out there reading my pulp and tripe. Merry Christmas, and thank you, with all my heart.

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.


"The thrilling conclusion to the inevitable trilogy."


In this installment: Quinn takes care of Cody so Lumen can catch an unbreath. Dexter makes dinner. Angel flirts and has fun. Astor is visited by a disturbing vision. We finally ditch those damn epithets for some proper names. A first meeting doesn't go well. A plan is made for the following day. And someone else has his own first encounter with the supernatural.

Have a prologue. The first chapter will hopefully appear before the end of the year -- as soon as possible, given my real life responsibilities and the various other projects I'd like to see progress on. And despite the darker tone and content, I can promise as happy an ending as possible for most of the parties concerned.

(Prologue)

Another all nighter. I cried more than once writing this.

Only one more scene for the epilogue before I take a well earned and much needed vacation. We'll see how long that ends up being, but in the meantime, I hope all of you are still enjoying this as much as I am. It's been an amazing thirty-one days, and I'll see you again soon.

Also, if I get hit by a bus before posting the epilogue, just know that I died doing what I loved: Flipping off bad drivers.

As a serial killer working undercover in forensic analysis for the Miami Metro police department, Dexter Morgan is well accustomed to the art of deception. With the help of his newly empowered Slayer stepdaughter, he's turned over a new leaf. Together they've driven notorious and legendary vampires Darla and Drusilla out of the city. And with his bloodthirsty past finally revealed to the ones he loves, Miami's most well-meaning murderer is looking forward to settling down to being the best family man and rogue demon hunter he can be. But his troubles are just getting started. From suspicious co-workers to awkward teen talks, from the struggles of romance to the fatal obsessions that only love can bring, Dexter's world is about to get even weirder. As Darla's parting shot threatens to be the magic bullet that brings him down for good, Dexter and his family battle against vampires, demons, the forces of darkness...and the evils hidden within the human heart.


In this installment: Another double length chapter. A tempting offer. Some interesting results. More interesting results. Real boys and parting gifts. Mending bridges. Another confession, and a charitable donation. Parting is such sweet sorrow. Reunited and it feels so good. And your penultimate cliffhanger.
