dexter x doakes fanfiction

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.

One common theme is family loyalty. Despite Dexter's secrets, Debra often shows loyalty to him as her brother. Another theme is secrecy. Dexter has to keep his true self hidden from Debra, which creates a lot of tension in the fanfiction.

Some Dexter fanfiction stories that are well - liked include those that give Dexter a more heroic role. For example, 'Dexter: The Avenger' where he uses his skills not just for his own needs but to protect the innocent in a more direct way. Then there are stories that change the timeline, like 'Dexter: Rewritten Beginnings' which might start his story from a different point and lead to a whole new set of adventures and character developments.

Some fanfictions might focus on alternative universes where their relationship takes a different turn. For example, what if Debra was more accepting of Dexter's 'hobby' from the start? Or what if Dexter was more open with Debra? These 'what - if' scenarios can lead to very different storylines. There could also be themes related to protecting each other, especially when outside forces threaten their relationship or their lives, as they are both in a rather dangerous world in the Dexter universe.
