I am still here

A/N: Dexter, Valkyrie Mini Drabble. No spoilers, all hypothetical.

“What do you have to say for yourself?!!” 

Dexter looked up slowly, groaning from the pain in his back as his body protested against his movement. He hissed when Valkyrie hit him against the shoulder, her knuckles cracking pretty harshly into his collarbone. “God DAMN IT, Val…” He bit his lip and smoothed his fingers over the sore spot. 

The black haired fury before him could barely contain the white lightning in her eyes. Dexter felt something drop inside his stomach at the sight of her distorted face. Her quivering bottom lip made him realize how tired they’d grown of losing each other. How much fear they carried inside themselves. Fear of having to grieve even more than they’d already had. 

Dexter moved his head away from the Doctor’s inspection which she accepted with a sigh. He was sitting on a chair in the Sanctuary. They would have taken him to the medical bay, but he had refused. Even though a house had fallen to its ruins on top of him, he was sure he’d be okay. He had to be. 

With his sad, blue eyes he looked up at Valkyrie in all her trembling, angry, fearful form. He had seriously scared her. Carefully he tried to reach for her wrist, but the muscles in his arms weren’t happy about that. Valkyrie noticed the slight shaking in his shoulder and that furious, suffering expression of hers turned even worse. 

In a haste, she took a step back, staggering slightly. “You are the worst, the most insufferable idiot, the absolute worst, you hear me!!” 

Dexter’s shoulders slumped slightly. His short fingernails were digging into his palms as he clenched his fists. “I was protecting you.” 

“Well, guess what!” Valkyrie shouted in response. “I don’t need protection!! You know very well, that I am by far much more powerful than you are!! That house dropping on top of me?? Maybe I would have come out unharmed. But no, you had to push me out of the way to almost get freaking killed!!” 

Dexter stayed silent, as Valkyrie tried to regain a normal breathing pattern after her hysterical sermon. He felt a burning feeling inside of his throat and he was certain it for once wasn’t to blame on the remnant Daquesse had pulled out of it. “Maybe.” 

Valkyrie lifted her head out of her hands and looked at him imploringly. “What?” 

“You said ‘maybe’ you’d come out unharmed.” 

Valkyrie bit the side of her cheek. 

Dexter closed his eyes for a second and managed a short smile. “It wasn’t much of a choice, you know. I just did it. I just pushed you out of the way.”

Some of the fury vanished from Valkyrie’s eyes, making more space for the aftermath of her fear: the tears. “You- you-” she choked out, fighting the need to cry that was rising in her throat, “you almost got yourself killed.”

“No.” Dexter said quietly, gently. He had a hard time gulping down his emotions himself. “I am still here.” 

Valkyrie continued her inner battle against the tears, until Dexter opened his right arm as far as he could, inviting her to make sure he was still alive and well for herself. That little offer of a hug was all it took to make the sobs break out of her. Dexter suppressed the groan of pain that almost escaped him when Valkyrie’s body slammed against his own in a bone crushing hug. Considering the fact that his ribs were definitely cracked and his shoulder had been dislocated until mere minutes before this, he was doing a good job at biting it all back. Admittedly, it did soothe some of Dexter’s pains to bury his face in Valkyrie’s hair and breathe in her scent of life. He could imagine that it worked the other way around as well. 

They were still here. They hadn’t yet turned into ghosts. 

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?

“Ride it. Put a saddle on it and ride it. Wouldn’t that be cool? Wouldn’t that be the best thing to ever happen in the world?”

Apparently Grace Kelly used to call Stephanie her wild child or “enfant terrible”

So I just found out that one of Grace Kelly´s daughters is named Stephanie… Coincidence? After all Skulduggery is weirdly obsessed with Grace Kelly.

Why are they actually Melissa and Desmond

Do y´all reckon there´s a magic section of the internet?

Especially for symbol magic and scientific information about magic it would make a lot of sense. Normal people would just think it´s crazy shit that some lunatic wrote and even if they tried, they couldn´t use the symbols because they don´t have magic. The magical websites could even be disguised as being about some weird form of occultism and be only accessible with a password for more security.

And for mages it would be super useful. Why carry around lots of ancient tomes that are probably written in Latin or Gaelic when you could just google everything? Developing the Whispering is taking so much time anyways. Why not just use something the mortals have already created?

Listen I know I’m more than ten years late to the party but I finally have some some Ghanith because they deserved so?? much?? better??

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.“

Doesn’t She Know (It’s the End of the World) (Skulduggery Pleasant)

Title: Doesn’t She Know (It’s the End of the World) Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/16936872 Platform: AO3 Creator: bubblemoon66 Work Type: Fanfiction Fandom: Skulduggery Pleasant Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Pairing: Valkyrie Cain/Skulduggery Pleasant Word count: 3717 Warnings: Major Character Death Number of comments: 8 Completion Status: Complete Short summary/description: 

According to the clock on the Bentley’s dashboard, it was 06:23. About 37 minutes before the world had been scheduled to end.

Skulduggery and Valkyrie are used to high stakes and heroic deeds done with minutes to spare. Together, they’ve saved the world a hundred times over. They were bound to slip up eventually.

Ok but China Sorrows is my fictional girl crush

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

I can so picture those two idiots getting captured and locked in a cell and Skulduggery just taking out a gun and whatever you need for breaking a lock out of his rib cage.

I bet, the villain of the day would be furious. I mean who would even think to check there for hidden weapons? Wtf Skulduggery, can't you be a good normal prisoner who doesn't hide things INSIDE his freakin body?

When skulduggery’s bored during sanctuary meetings or stake outs he’ll just produce various items to entertain himself that he’s stored inside his rib cage and it’s like watching Mary Poppina pulling stuff out of her bag

Valkyrie is mildly horrified at the size of some of the items he pulls out

I’m kinda upset that the girl in the Music Video for Galway Girl did not have black hair??? Like come on, that would have made the Valkyrie vibes perfect

valkyrie saying she hadn’t heard of the dead men while sitting next to skulduggery is the sorcerer equivalent of sitting next to harry styles and saying you’ve never heard of one direction

“I’m not a villain. You shouldn’t have treated me like one.”

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.

still kinda into that “Anakin Skywalker becomes a trophy husband and gets really into Naboo fashion” idea, tbh. 

He resigns from the Jedi Order sometime during the clone wars all “I know we’re having a war and all and it’s reeeeeeally important but Padmé is currently wearing space Dior and my head is just not in the game, okay??” Padmé of course immediately welcomes him with open arms because look, she knows they both have duties but Anakin already told the Council to go to space Hell soooo … 

There’s gonna be a wedding. She is gonna make it EPIC. 

Meanwhile the Naboo tailors are like dropping his Jedi robes in the trash pit all “mister naberrie what would you like to wear?” and Anakin’s like “… cccclothes?” and they immediately realize they have been given a BLANK SLATE and are DELIGHTED. Anakin gets a crash course in how to dress like the Naboo and also discovers that he is allowed to wear things like SILK and SATIN and ACCESSORIES and is just entirely floored. Really he can wear this? You’re SURE? And there’s a place to hide a lightsaber in it? 

What do you MEAN “and throwing knives”. Tell him more about the throwing knives. 

The version without sunglass of this and its lineart bc I’m really happy with how Nef’s face/the lineart turned out

Serpine wore these glasses all through seasons of war just to remind people whose side he’s really on

Padme: We're having a baby!

Ahsoka: Congratulation—

Anakin: [Slamming adoption papers on the table] It's you, sign here.

“‘A farmer’s daughter, she was, though back then nearly every girl was a farmer’s daughter. Or a farmer. She had hair as long as rope, and a nose. All her eyes were blue and she had a smile like a radiant hole in the ground, with teeth. God, she was beautiful.’ 

‘She sounds terrifying,’ said Donegan. 

‘Hush, you. I will hear no bad word spoken of your sister.’”

- Gracious O’Callahan and Donegan Bane in Skulduggery Pleasant: The Dying of the Light by Derek Landy

ghanith true fact: they properly met in The Faceless Ones, which takes place in October 2008. Tanith becomes a remnant in December 2009.

they only knew each other for about a year.

You really would think they’d have realised by now that having a group of seven really isn’t working for them.......

Also can’t y’all just imagine Dexter’s face when Valkyrie said “I’m with Luke on this one. They sound the same to me.”
