The Masked Butcher: 100 Flags of Blood by FOXTROTDESTROYER2505
4 parts Ongoing Mature
Dexter, an amazing series, inspired this story to come to my vision! The TV Show is highly recommended! WARNING: This story contains elements that can lead to sensitive topics! Viewer discretion is advised. Dimitri Aleksandr, AKA Mark Matthews, a notorious international serial killer known as the Masked Butcher, is on the run after murdering over 500 people across more than 100 countries. Dimitri justifies his killings with a personal code that was created by his father, US Ambassador in Russia, Elijah Matthews: to hunt down those he deems/names "Unforgivable," and the "Higher-Ups" from ordinary people committing sins to powerful individuals in government, crime syndicates, and celebrities. His twisted upbringing-marked by the early and brutal death of his mother, his dark, mysterious past, and bullying of his dark desires, though a part of him still seeks love and understanding. After settling in Detroit with his sister and brother, Dimitri makes a risky move, infiltrating the Detroit Police Department's Homicidal Department as a crime scene technician. Here, he continues his brutal crusade, using his position to cover his tracks while eliminating those he believes are tainted by sin. As the Masked Butcher's killing spree intensifies, the FBI, CIA, and police across the globe tighten their pursuit, unaware of his true identity. Meanwhile, a new mystery emerges: a secretive serial killer, dubbed "The Archivist," begins leaving a trail of dead bodies. Bound by his code, Dimitri becomes obsessed with finding this new killer. Partnering with law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and Detroit Police, he works to uncover the Archivist's identity, all the while continuing his reign of terror. The story follows Dimitri's dark journey as he navigates his twisted moral code, evades capture, and plays a deadly cat-and-mouse game with those hunting him. Will he ever find peace, or is he destined to remain the Masked Butcher forever?

You've gotta watch out for the quiet ones and they hardly come quieter than shy but pretty Harleen Quinzel. New to Gotham City, the fledgling psychiatrist is starting her career by assessing new intakes at the infamous Blackgate Prison, a place so dangerous and ugly it makes the rest of Gotham look like a garden in springtime. Clashing immediately with the head doctor, Joan Leland, doesn't help. Let's face it-there's very little in her life to make her smile, let alone laugh. However, on the upside, she is starting to meet people. There's her new neighbor, Slade Wilson, a handsome and mysterious older man-and he finds her just as attractive. Although they definitely have chemistry, he is kind of lacking in the sense of humor department-and then he's also so secretive about his profession. Then on Christmas Day, like the best present ever, she meets someone new. Someone who makes her laugh. Someone who really cracks open her shell and brings her out of the grey, dismal mood it seems she's been in forever. So he's not conventionally handsome, with his green hair and his really, really pale complexion-what does that matter? He's got a wonderful sense of humor, he makes her pulse race, and is he ever a stylish dresser. Only problem is, he's a new intake and a probable mass murderer. Is this some kind of a joke life's playing on her? And how can she believe he's serious? And then there's Slade, who is not the kind to give up easily. He's been away, busy with a squad with suicidal tendencies, but he promised to come back for her.
