Summary: An unexpected detour leads to the Doctor and Ace teaming up with the FBI to investigate a series of disturbingly specific floral-themed murders. But with Ace's increasingly strange dreams, a hyper-empathetic consultant who can't seem to empathize quite so well any more, and one Doctor Hannibal Lecter in the mix, the murders may be the least of their problems...

Notes: This chapter gave me an extraordinary amount of trouble, and as such may not be up to the quality of the rest of the fic. Sorry about that - bridging sections always tends to make me want to throw my laptop against the wall. Hopefully future chapters will be quicker in coming out. Jane isn't around to beta at the moment, so any mistakes are, regrettably, my own.

And a quick note before I continue - this takes place in a slightly divergent timeline, where neither the VNA books or Big Finish audios happened (and neither did the comics or other ranges of books/audios, for that matter). It’s been a pretty long time since Survival, and Ace and the Doctor have just been kind of bumping about the universe for maybe a decade-plus now, righting wrongs, etc. This probably isn’t directly relevant, but I felt it worth mentioning.
 

( Ace entered the TARDIS with a sigh that was half-exhaustion and half-relief. )
