Summary
“If you’re a time traveller,” Hopeless asked, “when did you come from?”
Hopeless had moved nearer to Larrikin, who had not really sobered, and was still looking excessively happy with himself for no particular reason.
“I … two thousand and seventeen,” Valkyrie said, and then she looked at Skulduggery, “help me up.”
The skeleton took a moment to move, and then he extended a hand and supported her arms so she could stand. There was an overwhelming lack of familiarity in his behaviour.
“Alright,” Dexter said, “So that’s how you know Skulduggery.”
Valkyrie frowned, “I didn’t expect you to take that so well.”
“Well,” Larrikin said from the floor, where Dexter had dropped him sometime during his laughing fit. “You’re not the first.”
Or, Valkyrie travels back in time and meets the Dead Men. She finds them very different to what she expected.

Summary
Six of Crows AU.
Skulduggery saves young Valkyrie from dying of Firepox. She joins his gang, The Dead Men. Another crime boss offers them a very handsome amount of money to throw a spanner in the works of Melovent's latest plot. How?
By breaking into his very impenetrable fortress, kidnapping one Nefarian Serpine, and somehow breaking back out with him in tow.
It's a suicide mission... so it's a good thing they're already dead men. -
Skulduggery Pleasant Reacts! (book 1) by Deggon (Dagora)
Fandoms: Skulduggery Pleasant - Derek Landy
03 Oct 2024
Tags
Summary
Set just before Darquesse recreates the universe after Obsidian erases it.
Original idea!
Basically, Darquesse brings everyone back as their past selves to react to the future. I'll try to keep all characters as cannon as possible, but I'm not as good a writer as Derek Landy.
Skulduggery Pleasant and characters within belong to Derek Landy!
Very slow updates! :/

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 :)
Written for day 2 of Sicktember 2024, prompt: too much of a good thing/overindulgence

Summary
What you hold is the history of the single greatest empire known to humanity. A history born from destruction and devastation that has flourished within our grasps. We, the citizens of The United Alliance of the Galactical Áohlos Dominions, are more than willing to share. For you, readers of tomorrow and today, play an important role in all that's to come.
I am known by Staire Fear, but you may refer to me as The Archivist. Trivial information about me is needed nowhere. I am but a historian and that is all that should matter to you. I bring no great tales of adventure or stories of my own. I am to give you only the facts.

A historical retelling of the events and mythologies of The United Alliance of the Galactical Áohlos Dominions. Basically a guide to planetary information, culture, backstories, lore and everything i cant fit in the COG fic.

Summary
Erskine sighs and sinks a little in his chair. Morwenna looks at him straight on. “Do you want me to list why your colleagues aren’t here instead of you? Larrikin is too powerful a healer to take off field, Anton too deadly, Saracen is too unreliable for this responsibility, Hopeless too reserved. Ghastly would despise this work – he’s never been one for the spotlight. And outside your group, Sagacious is unprepared, Bliss too disliked …”
“I understand,” Erskine grinds out.
“So what, exactly, is your objection to my proposition?”
Or, Mevolent makes a devastating strike against Meritorious and his forces. In the aftermath, Erskine has to make a decision that will impact the rest of his life.

Out of the Frying Pan... by celticbisexual
Fandoms: Skulduggery Pleasant - Derek Landy, The Magnus Archives (Podcast)

Summary
Darquesse had ruined Valkyrie's- now Stephanie's- life. She couldn't look her parents in the eyes after what she'd been forced to do. She needed to get away from Ireland, from magic. Thankfully, her mortal second cousin Tim has an apartment in London he's more than happy to let her stay at. It'll be good to relax, even if her new job is kind of strange.
Tim, Sasha and Martin had been working in the archives for about six weeks when Tim's Irish second cousin had showed up. She seemed cool, if a little distant. All Sasha was saying is that she did NOT have a crush, and whatever Stoker had told you was a lie.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In which a broken sorcerer from Dublin helps be the glue the Archives needs, and in return, they do their best to help fix her.
