Alternate version of season 8. The season picks up with aftermath of season 7. How does Dexter react after the chain of events that began before the clock struck midnight on New Years? Rated M for Deb's language and mature situations referenced. Episode 12 is now up!

Deciding that telling Debs in person was too difficult, Dexter goes to Doakes to turn himself in as the Bay Harbor Butcher. The events that transpire, however, lands him a highly unexpected ally in his quest to clean the streets of Miami. 1st installment of my Becoming Human 'verse

This has major spoilers for Season Eight of Dexter (and previous seasons by extension) up to the episode that just aired, "Are We There Yet?" Do not read if you do not want to be spoiled. Two unlikely allies see what's right in front of Dexter's face (or at least I think it's right in front of his face. I may be wrong in the end.) There is no pairing here, in case you were worried.

Imagine if Dexter had been a girl and his name was Cora. Cora is trying to be normal while dealing with the monster inside but that secret is a tough burden to bare. Then she meets the seemingly perfect Anthony Steel and they hit it off. As she learns more about Steel and his mysterious ways she learns he also has a deep dark secret, one that could be as bad as hers maybe worse.

My version of what might happen in Season 8. Spoilers for season 7

"My sister, the stalwart cop and overwhelmingly good person, entered that shipping container with the intent of saving me, and ended up doing so much more. A few weeks ago, she told me she was in love with me; it was only in that dark, narrow passageway that I really even began to process what that really meant." My version of Season 8. Debster-centric.
