dexter had never known a life of security , his own mother left him on a beach when he was six years old , he'd only lucked his way into acting the same way he'd lucked his way into a relationship with her . that time in his life is tinted by the rosy sheen of first love unburdened by the hard won bitter truths that three decades brings . his eyes narrowed as fear shot through him like a red hot poker . getting over her once had been the hardest thing he'd had to do , if he opened up that wound again and she left , he wasn't sure how he'd recover . " i think you're right , we could have been something but you don't think it's too late ? like ... i don't know maybe our time already came ? "

"i think our love was the only real thing that's happened to me." the woman wasn't afraid of admit things to dex, even after twenty years. but everyone else she was always so... quiet. she would let them talk about her feelings, keeping her own inside. "i've asked about you, over the years. a lot of your colleagues were my clients. but... i've been doing a lot of thinking lately. i feel like we could've really been something."

@khianat answered: "Do you know this city well?" (from august to dex)

"You could say so, I have spent most of my life here and when you are with the police, you will eventually learn every inch of it." Dex started from the bottom once, slowly working himself up on the ladder and that also included having once stationed at most parts before he made it to his current rank. "Was there a particular part you were looking for?"

Ugh, of course. Cop. Really, he should have known. There were always cops around, hoping to cut their teeth and make their name on his cold case. August shook his head. "I was just looking for the park. I need somewhere to take my dog. And hopefully a coffee place near by."

“are you back from the dead? i could hear your mind from outside hell’s kitchen, bullseye.” standing close to the man, emma shimmers in diamond form.

“ i don't know if you've noticed, ice princess but i never stay dead for long. ”  countless have tried to bury him six feet under, but he’s not about to give 𝙳𝙰𝚁𝙴𝙳𝙴𝚅𝙸𝙻 the satisfaction of seeing it done. he tilts his head to the side, studying the threat in front of him. gaze lingers on her crystalline skin, mind racing through the possibilities as he assesses how best to handle her. “ then you heard all those people i killed. what were their final thoughts? I'M CURIOUS. ”

queue will continue unloading tomorrow, and hopefully I'll manage to crank out the very last of my queue/inbox by then but. the end is truly in sight. doubters said it could never come true but, by god, it's happening.

It wasn't the first time she'd come home to find a gift from him — but it was the first one she'd found on her bed. Of course, he'd been getting into her place for weeks, but so far leaving no trace. She knew he was around, but likely still assumed she was reasonably safe behind her locked doors. He watched from his usual spot outside her window, buried in the thick of a tree line behind her house. a wicked smirk curled his lips as she stared at the package on her bed, and he was certain he caught the exact moment she realized just how vulnerable she truly was. It was then that he decided to pull his phone out, dialing her number on instinct, and the amusement was clear in his voice when she answered. "You like your present?" he drawled, as if unaware she hadn't opened it yet "Thought you might like somethin' a little nicer than that ratty old shirt you've been sleepin' in."

The tools and valve Adam had asked for were deposited in his room, hidden from immediate sight. As a perk, Dex had added another photo of David and some pills for the ptsd.

Ace has no way of knowing the date, not really. But it's hot outside, the days are long, and Aaron has been absolutely nightmarish for the past three days, so he has a pretty accurate guess on what day it is. If not today, then yesterday or tomorrow.

He doesn't associate Dex's gifts with the day at all. Thinks it's probably a coincidence.

But the intention behind it doesn't really matter, because he has the tools and a chance to even marginally lessen his pain. He just needs to make sure to keep all of this hidden from Aaron. But he can do this.

The photo is nice, and it makes him cry for a good bit before he manages to compose himself. He's still not sure what to make of Dex, but this isn't the worst the man's done. The pills he's more wary of, so he just hides them for now. He knows nothing about medicine, doesn't know what could happen, or what these even are.

All in all... he's had worse birthdays.

"I got some new poison in since you were last here, would you like a cup?" Laine dryly teased as she led her brother to the couch. This time, it had been her who called him to come over once he scraped himself off the ground from the shock. "I did get some beer, but I drew the line at snacks I'll never eat."

She had a point, and he would know it. "We lost our head of NOLA recently and very tragically." A force slight frown punctuated the news. "The OEA is going through some changes, and I need someone I trust. I haven't asked you for anything since I was eight years old, but...I need you now more than I ever have."

Memory is a funny thing. She was taller, older, hopefully wiser, but he still looked the same. Sure, there were a few more lines on his face, but the kindness in his eyes, the warmth that radiated around him, it was the same. When she was a kid, her sister's husband, Dex, was one of her favorite people in the entire universe. "Hi, Dexy." She greeted to make her presence known, "I think you know what I'm going to say, but um, Evie's sorry. I know that didn't go well. Can we please talk?"

Turning up at Laine’s apartment was a risk and there was a part of him that wondered whether or not she would be willing to accommodate him. He soon breathed a sigh of relief as the door was pushed open wider, even if no formal invitation was offered. "I didn't know where else to go."

His admittance was followed by hesitation, before eventually offering reassurance, "before you ask, no I wasn't followed and nobody knows that i’m here but --" clearing his throat, he ran a thumb across brow, exhaling unsteadily. "They came looking for me at work. OEA, I mean. Started asking questions -- I uh, slipped out the back." His jaw tightened, knowing that it wasn't safe for Sierra or the kids for him to be at the house and he wondered how selfish that made him for now turning up at Laine’s door. And now, whether or not those circumstances would encourage her to resend her invitation.

for someone who didn't normally pay much attention to others, he surely paid a lot of attention to one person in particular — and that person was emory. he had been on his laptop on their couch for awhile now, but everytime he saw the other walking in front of him, his eyes would immediately follow his movements, heartbeat even becoming a little faster. at this point, his attention was hardly on the screen and the video he had been editing, completely forgetting all about that. at the second time emory passed by, dex couldn't help asking. " what are you doing? "

❛ i'm here to remind you of your place in the food chain. ❜ fisk to dex

words press upon him like a suffocating force, yet dex does not flinch. his role is crystal clear when it comes to kingpin. his purpose is simple — he is protection, a weapon. he's given him freedom to be what he's always been. no masks, no restraint, no mercy. “     i did it to protect you, sir.    ”

that's why he keeps him around, isn't it? he gets his hands dirty so fisk doesn't stain his pearl-white suits. he is an attack dog, 𝙻𝙾𝚈𝙰𝙻 and unyielding. he gets shit done when everything else fails. “     he was a loose end. i took care of it.    ”

"okay, so, um, this is, like, awkward, but if you got any mail from me recently, can you just ... ignore it? maybe ... throw it away or burn it?" / @wcvensouls, for dex.
