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

Don't Hope For Things Elsewhere by Alexander_Writes
Fandoms: Skulduggery Pleasant - Derek Landy

Summary
A hand grasped his wrist so tightly it stung, and Hopeless spun him towards them. Their eyes were grey like stone, Erskine realised blankly, like the prison buildings in Dublin’s west. When they spoke their voice was quiet and rough.
“I know you’re new. But here, when you’re told something is mandatory you do it, unless you want to be swinging from the gibbet next.”
Erskine looked down at Hopeless’ hand, and they loosened their grip a little. Something in their face cracked then.
“Please, Erskine, just come.”In an Alternate Universe where the Unnamed took control long before the War even began, Erskine, Hopeless, Larrikin and the rest try to resist the totalitarian state they were born into, in differing ways.

Summary
When Dead Men die, things happen.
They’re not necessarily bad things. They’re not necessarily good things. Sometimes, they can impact the entire course of history. Sometimes, they only impact oneself.
After all, when one's life is multiple centuries long, one experiences a lot.

Summary
The first thing Saracen said as Skulduggery joined them was, “It’s Wednesday and you’re not wearing black. You can’t sit with us!”
Or, in which the modern-day Dead Men (and Co.) definitely aren't the equivalent of the Mean Girls.

Ghastly has been in better safehouses, but even the worst, most boring safehouse he's ever been in can't stop his (incredibly immature) lovers from making things slightly more entertaining and maybe Ghastly loves these idiots a lot
Maybe
