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, forensic analyst Dexter Morgan -- an 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 installment: Two more scenes of non-Dexter POV. Lots of talk. Lots of action. And oh, so much drama.


(Chapter 19)

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...

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

Yes, it's still going. My first writing anything since early January, and the first update to this story since last December. I have so many other irons in the fire right now that it's harder than usual to say when you might see the next installment. Just know that in this time of panic and chaos, every bit of human contact is of immeasurable value. So post a comment, or drop me a line, because I'd love to hear from you.

In the wake of Rita's death and Lumen's departure, Astor comes to stay. But along with everything she's not telling Dexter, our favorite serial killer is finding everyday life increasingly inexplicable.

Post-Dexter 5x12, "The Big One"; post-Buffy 7x22, "Chosen"; post-Angel 5x11, "Damage". Dexter POV.


In this installment: Dexter's worlds continue to collide, creating chaos and culminating in a dramatic dinner. Also, cliffhanger. Forewarned is four armed.

"Compartmentalization is a joke."
