    Summary

    Saracen really didn’t mean to poison the dead men. During their hike through the French mountains, they find shelter for the night in a forest. But after Saracen discovered some wild mushrooms and turns them into a soup, a few members of the group experience very unpleasant side effects. This is going to be a long night for all of them, especially for Dexter because he has to take care of his best friend, who caused the whole mess.

    Just some dead men quality time/fluff because there just isn’t enough of it! :)

    Summary

    The Dead Men are having a game night at Skulduggery’s place with lots of fun and embarrassing stories, playing truth or dare and card games. And food. Lots of food. And while they are all having a really good time, the evening might take a turn for the worst for Saracen when he finds himself lying on the bathroom floor with the worst stomach-ache of his life. But it’s really not his fault that there were different cakes, cookies and popcorn. He just had to try them all, right? Good thing he has Dexter and the others to take care and make fun of him.

    Set somewhere after Mortal Coil and before Last Stand of Dead Men
    Just some Dead Men quality time because there isn’t enough of that out there!

    Dexter’s and Saracen’s relationship can be interpreted however you like :)

    Summary

    When Dexter gets a call in the middle of the night from Skulduggery he is mostly surprised, which soon turns into annoyance when he finds out that his best friend is at bar, completely drunk and he needs to pick him up. And Saracen Rue can really be the most annoying, clingy drunk you’ve ever seen so Dexter isn’t thrilled about having him stay at his place, sleeping in his bed. But then again, he’d do anything for his idiot friend, even if that means taking care of him the next morning when Saracen wakes up with a killer-hangover. But why the hell did Saracen went to drink alone in the first place?

    Just a small Saracen and Dexter fluff story because I love them!

    Summary

    "There was no hint of emotion in Skulduggery’s movements or on that white skull of his. The grin stayed fixed, the sockets empty, and it seemed to float in the darkness like death incarnate, a force too powerful for any man to control. He walked apart from them, silent. A ghost, it seemed, even to himself."

    There's a war going on, and everyone has stories to tell. Skulduggery Pleasant, the miracle soldier, is one of them.

    Summary

    "Hullo hullo," he begins saying before he even opens the door, and it swings out onto a drizzly night street. A woman is standing with a bundle of blankets at her chest. Dexter has read stories that start like this, he goes to close the door quickly.

    "Is Saracen Rue here?" She asks brusquely.

    "Fuck," Dexter says. No getting out of this. "SARACEN!"

    Or, A fling with a child of the spider brings a baby to the Dead Men's doorstep. Yes. That's the story.

    Summary

    The Faceless Ones. An ancient race of horrifying gods who have terrorised our world and others since the beginning of time. Notoriously faceless, the shock of finding one with an incredibly sharp, and very much there nose shocks Val and Skul whilst on an impromptu adventure.

    No, I will not explain how they got to the Faceless Ones dimension they simply did.

    Summary

    They’d thrown everything they had into defeating Darquesse, and it worked. At the cost of everyone’s lives, that is.

    Everyone except Skulduggery Pleasant.

    History has a funny way of repeating itself.

    Or, how would Skulduggery react if literally everyone else died trying to defeat Darquesse? Yes, this is very depressing but no, I do not regret making it.

    Summary

    In 1929, mere months before the Truce, Nefarian Serpine tried to kill Dexter Vex.

    Perhaps too loyal for his own good, Larrikin saved him.

    The war ended, but nobody expected the consequences of that day in Wales that Larrikin would face for the rest of his life.

    Mostly bitter, but a little sweet towards the end.

    Summary

    Listen, I did not write this. My friend, Emily did. I have never read or am planning to read Skulduggery Pleasant.
    A message from Emily:

    Okay, so this is my first Skulduggery Pleasant fanfic, centred around the characters you know and love (and some of the ones you don’t) and my own OCs. I kinda pushed and pulled the timeframes a bit to suit me, so it's not really canon (or at all). Anyways...enjoy (or not. I don’t really care either way.)

    Blah blah blah just read the thing.

    Summary

    Inspired by overlord-winter on Tumblr.
    Follow the school life of the most notorious clique/friend group/"cult" Roarhaven has ever known- The Dead Men. In this AU, no one has magic or anything, just their chaotic personalities. Younger characters appear later on. This is purely for fun, expect some fluff and a lot of crack :)
    Also available on Wattpad (Nicasia_Grey) and Tumblr (Magical-Mages)
    Open to requests and constructive criticism.
    Characters belong to Derek Landy.
