A really engaging Dexter x Doakes fanfiction is 'The Bond That Wasn't'. It imagines a world where Dexter and Doakes form an unspoken bond before the events of the show. The author does a great job of showing their initial animosity slowly turning into something more complex. There's also 'In Doakes' Shadow' which focuses on how Dexter views Doakes from a different perspective, adding new layers to their relationship.
The complex relationship between Dexter and Doakes in the original show makes the fanfiction intriguing. They are like two opposing forces, and fanfiction can explore different outcomes of their interactions. For example, some fanfictions might explore what would happen if Doakes actually understood Dexter's dark side.
Probably 'Dexter by Design' is also among the popular ones. It has a great plot that involves Dexter's interactions with other complex characters and some really exciting and unexpected events.
In this story, Dexter might be a character who is on an 'ego trip'. He could be someone who is ambitious, perhaps overly so. He might be constantly seeking validation, power, or recognition. His actions throughout the story could be a reflection of his egotistical nature. For instance, he may strive for success in his career or personal life not for the intrinsic value but to boost his own self - image and satisfy his ego. His character development could also be centered around learning to control or reevaluate his ego as the story progresses.
The TV series Dexter is primarily based on the book series of the same name written by Jeff Lindsay. These novels provided the foundation for the show's characters and plotlines, although some changes were made for the adaptation to television.
I have no idea. It could be an original concept rather than being adapted from novels. You might want to check official sources or related interviews for more accurate information.
Definitely fiction. Dexter is a fictional character and the storylines are made up to engage and thrill the audience. The events and scenarios presented are not based on real-life occurrences.
