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.“

reblog this if you're okay with booping spams please !!
China: I do not “spew profanities.” I enunciate them clearly, like a fucking lady.
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
Reblog this with your star sign and your favorite book in Phase 1 of Skulduggery Pleasant in the tags. It’s for science
Y'all if you're a Star Wars fan who likes Time Travel Fix-It fics, PLEASE check out @this-acuteneurosis (acuteneurosis on Ao3). They have a series called Don't Look Back where Leia gets sent back in time to Pre-Attack of the Clones to try to keep the Empire from rising. It's SO well written and consumed my brain for a solid week while I was on vacation XD
This is a poster idea based on the third installment in the story, Duty Bound (mostly because I was OBSESSED with the idea of Leia with the Iconic Anakin scar)
(I originally had the handmaidens on here too, but didn't like how the final composition looked)
Habt ihr schon alle das cineastische Meisterwerk der Bundesregierung genossen? Inklusive dramatischer Musik! (Gibt sogar einen zweiten Teil)

You´re right, him possessing Val would make kinda sense... I mean she´s the Child of the Faceless Ones and he claims to be a direct descendant from them Faceless Ones, so maybe they have some kind of connection? But with that logic he could also take Alice...
On the other hand, I always thought that Auger would die and Omen would take his place as the chosen one. It seemed like a typical Dirty Laundry plot twist. That could still be possible if Auger was possessed by the Unnamed. Then Omen could finally have a real hero arc and also it would create so much drama if he had to fight his brother.
For the ask: (SoW Spoilers) What is your theory about the Unnamed? Do you think he´s really dead? I can´t help but feel like his arc has not finished yet. I mean there was this huge build up with his resurrection and him being like the most powerful sorcerer ever and then he just died. It seemed way too easy, but on the other hand at least his ( well Caisson´s) body has to be dead, since the obsidian blade vanished it. So I´m thinking, maybe before he died he possessed Auger? What do you think?
oh shit dude. i kinda skimmed over that whole part bc a) i was so upset about saracen and b) it kinda felt a bit rushed and confusing towards the end. you definitely raise an excellent point about his buildup, and i don’t think he’s dead either. he just can’t be, right? as for theories, yours is a good one, and maybe he could possess val, which might explain the whole alice vision.
You can now find a rework of my aftermath series on AO3 :)
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
