Valkyrie Cain: I'm Not Like Other Girls

Missing the old Dexter

A/N: This is completely self-indulgent, since my Dexter Vex feels were at a peak. This is set during SOW, but there are no spoilers involved. Valkyrie and Tanith miss the old Dexter and Skulduggery knows how to get to him.

„I’m worried about him.“ 

Tanith looked up from cleaning her sword and sent Valkyrie a clueless look. „I’m worried about all of us.“ Meaningfully she motioned at the all surrounding death threats of the Leibniz Universe. „But do specify.“

Valkyrie put her head up on her hands and sighed. „Dexter. He is … not himself.“

Taniths’ shoulders slumped down a little. It was true, she had noticed it herself. But what was there to do about it? He was marked by all the things that have happened to him. He didn’t take life as lightly as he used to. He wasn’t an adventurer anymore, but a man who had seen too much, had endured too much, had lost too much. He was slowly but securely turning into Skulduggery. There was still a spark inside of him that reminded her of the old Dexter - a friendly wink, a sudden uncontrollable laugh, an instinctively done dance move during a fight. But a lot was missing. So much of him wasn’t there. And the sparks didn’t last long. They vanished, making space for the grim, scarred, silent Dexter whose beard had replaced his smile.

„Do you think there is anything we can do to…“ Valkyrie stopped mid-sentence, sighing like any attempt of restoring the old Dexter was hopeless from the start. Her sad face combined with the sad surroundings and the sad situation made Tanith wish for a medicine strong enough to cure her friends traumas alltogether. All of them wiped away, making space for happy memories and happy new experiences. 

Skulduggery started getting up from where he had been meditating close-by and put on his hat. He stayed standing there, seemingly checking if Saracen and Dexter were returning from their hunt. Gently and surprisingly moved he said: „I can help.“

Dexter Vex went from

And i miss the old book!6 Dexter … ;___;

They’re back!!

Natasha Romanoff & Tony Stark throughout the MCU

I will die on this hill

That scene in LSODM with Vex' abs said everything... 

Despite everything, I am so here for Val not being able to concentrate when there are attractive guys around.

Abyssina : I treat my body like a temple~

China: Open all hours and to the general public?

Skul: Visitors leave gifts?

Serafina: People made sacrifices in you?

Val: No maximum capacity?

So are we gonna talk about how unnecessary Saracen´s death was?! 

If those fuckers had taken one freaking second to think, they could have just shunted back to their universe and taken a plane instead of walking through all of Europe during a zombie apocalypse... 

That would have saved them months and it would have been so much easier and safer. Like there´s no decent explanation why they decided to walk except for them all having -1 brain cells together.

a character you think isn’t appreciated enough?

I actually really like Militsia?? She seems really sweet and I like her interactions with Val (although sometimes they can feel a bit one sided)

Like she actually raises some good points early on when they first meet + genuinely cares for Val (so far..) rather than using her as some weird ego boost and entertainment unlike a certain scamdullery pheasant

Back to the Saracen mentoring Val au and here’s Saracen introducing Val to Dexter

Dexter: so this is your new partner?

Saracen: yep. This is Valkyrie and I’m moulding her into a fine, upstanding citizen

Dexter:

Dexter: so Valkyrie what’s your magic

Saracen: *winks and nods at Val*

Valkyrie: I know things

Dexter:
