Night Like This (Dexter, Astor/Deb- Deb POV)

[ginevra_alessa]

The smoke burns your lungs sweetly and you feel an unexpected calm wash over you, reminding you of more innocent, less complicated days you wish you could return to. You almost want to laugh, it's all so ridiculous. Your eyes are closed and her lips are on yours so fast, you have no time to react. you feel yourself responding, kissing back, her

That was really lovely, and had a sort of symmetry to it I admire...bringing it back to the scene that took place between Dexter and Deb just a bit earlier. Very well done! I feel like all of this seems really true to Astor's character too. When I saw the pairing, it was hard for me to picture, but as soon as I started reading it clicked and I was like "Oh, this makes sense." You're so good at that. I also liked how you worked Astor's friend from season before last (I think that's when it was) into this. That makes sense too.

I've been wondering if you were caught up on Dexter! This season is pretty crazy. I'd love to know your thoughts on all of it, especially since you're the first person I knew who shipped Dexter/Deb, and also because reading that fic you wrote about them in the past probably helped me accept and get this more than a lot of viewers who find it so horrible and/or shocking.

Anyway, great job on this! It was wonderful to read some new fic from you. :)

Thank you so much, love! I am loving this season and still shipping deb/dex. I think Hannah is interesting, but she seems more like a true sociopath and a crap influence. I love deb more and more each episode and I was so shocked and happy when she finally told him and omgosh girl deserves an Emmy.

Although I do feel like Hannah wouldn't have started killing without Wayne, she just had that potential. Reminds me of Karla homolka so much.

Oh, this is good. I was a little confused by the pairing too until I started reading, and then it all seemed to click. I love how you explained that connection they have, and tied Astor's confession in with Deb's from earlier. There's a real like, honesty in this that reminded me of the Dexter scene too - it just feels kinda raw and a little awkward, like it would in real life. I really love the last line in particular. ♥ I just wanna give Deb a big hug!!

I'm seriously so nervous about how this season is going to end, because I really want something to happen between Dexter and Deb but I just don't know if the writers would actually go there? Because so many people are (for some reason, lol) put off by the storyline already and I don't think they'd go further with it if they thought it would alienate a lot of viewers, you know? But UGH I want it so badly. :(

Thank you so much sweetheart'! yeah I'm amazed they took it as far as they did. I thought her finding out the truth would be the end of that storyline, but was delightfully surprised as have been shipping it since forever! Still rooting for them to go there but yeah I don't know.
