TW: Murder, violence, cursing, mentions of rape and abuse. This fanfic follows the aftermath of Dexter: Season Four. Chapter 0 and Chapter 1 are the same as the end of 412 and 501, so you can skip it. They're there just to provide context & a foundation for the fanfic. In the wake of his wife's death, Dexter Morgan: grieving widow, single father, blood spatter analyst, and serial killer, struggles to juggle his separate lives. With a new, meticulous murderer stalking Miami, Detective Quinn closing in on his secret, and a Dark Passenger itching for release, can America's favorite killer keep his darkness under wraps? ________ "...The truth is much less appealing to me, one that lurks beneath the surface like an alligator hovering in the water - the truth that I'm not a demon nor fully a man. I exist in the spaces between, a strange thing that thrives in the moments between heartbeats, the moment just before the knife plunges down. Not quite dead, but not quite alive either. A living paradox." ---- Please remember to vote and comment to support the fanfic!!
