Skulduggery Pleasant Series : Fletcher Renn

He always feels like he’s playing second best.

To Skulduggery, to Valkyrie, to the people who look him in the eye and decide that he’s not worth the trouble. That he’s nothing but a jumped-up kid trying to turn into something bigger than his bones.

But he’s learned to accept it. To understand that you can’t win them all- Some people are born with less cards in their deck and he knows he’s one of them.

So what do you do when you’ve been given less than you’ve expected?

You start stealing from other decks, and build your own damn story.

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE NEW BOOK!!! XD 

So I drew Valkyrie and Xena. So happy for Val, she finally got a dog! <3 Xena is such a good doggo ^^ yes she is! Can’t wait to see what Skulduggery thinks of her.

The Dead Men ≡ “You look at Skulduggery and that’s who you model yourself on. He’s brave, you’re brave. He’s cold, you’re cold. He’s ruthless, you’re ruthless. Well done, Val. You share the emotional range of a dead man.”

Skulduggery Pleasant Series : Tanith Low

She does not talk about the years spent in the dark, that childhood below the streets, being shaped into a weapon, a knife in the dark, the scream before the fall.

How did her brother do it? The question pulls at her once in a while.

(She asked him on three separate occasions: The first time, his smile froze to his face. The second time, he pretended not to hear. The third, he brushed it off with a joke.

She did not try a fourth time.)

She does not talk about the blood that has trickled through her outstretched fingers, she does not talk about Highborn- For that girl is dead, dissolved in the sunlight, exorcised with the last breath to leave Avaunt’s lips.

Instead, she talks about the future: That bright, shining light, so different from the candles she used to snuff out at night, bright enough for her to pretend she isn’t what she was, and never will be again.

Would you be up for doing some Saracen or Dexter headcanons uni has got he exhausted and I love your headcanons

Omg bless u im sorry uni sucks ass

1. Who said I love you first?

Saracen. The jury was still out for dexter at the time; he grew up rough and learned early to be guarded. Saracen never had that problem. He loves freely and wholeheartedly and when he falls, he falls hard.

2. Who laughs and kisses their partner on the cheek while their partner isn’t happy about something trivial to try and make them feel better?

Saracen. Dex has a tendency to brood, especially while he was planning the tm7 heist. He's used to trusting his gut when he's adventuring alone, but on dead men missions he was always taking orders from skug. He's not accustomed to having his orders be the life or death decisions that could get his team, who trust him, killed. He overanalyzed a lot, tried to think of every possible scenario where something could go wrong. Saracen always thought he was getting too into his head about it.

3. Who cuddles up to the other after a long day at work, and this soon escalates to a playful pillow fight?

Saracen is the cuddler. He's also the worst fidget-arse dex has ever met, which. "Stop fucking fidgeting" is a totally valid excuse to hit someone on the head with a pillow, in his opinion

4. What is something that they gave one another that has a lot of meaning?

For these two it's skills rather than material possessions. They both travel a lot, Stuff™ takes up too much space. But saracen is the one who taught dexter to read and write, and Dexter is the one who taught saracen to cook for himself, both of which have come in handy A Lot in the centuries since.

5. How would one another describe their partner?

2x variations on "this asshole right here"

6. Who wraps their arms around their partner as they look them in the eyes and compliments them with a goofy smile?

Saracen, especially at fancy functions. 300+ years and dex still isn't 100% comfortable in a tuxedo, surrounded by glitz and glamour. That's saracen's world, not his. He'd rather be in jeans and boots underneath a car or trekking through a jungle. So sometimes saracen has to remind him that even if he doesn't really feel like he fits in at events like the Requiem Ball, he looks so good nobody else can tell him apart

7. Who loves saying ‘my wife’ or ‘my husband’ or ‘my spouse’?

Neither, they're not married. They're also not exclusive, so they don't tend to put labels like "boyfriend" on their relationship. They're just in love.

8. Who always talks about how amazing their partner is when their partner isn’t there and they just light up with genuine love and happiness?

Dexter, mostly when he's been drinking. At this point, everyone he could gush to about Saracen has already been gushed at, but he takes full advantage of Val's clueless ass and she gets to listen to like a solid 45 minutes of rambling about how cute Saracen's dimples are when he smiles. It's gross, but it's cute.

9. Who loves it when their partner kisses them good morning?

Saracen. He's not a morning person but dex is, so his wakeup call is usually the smell of coffee from the bedside table and a kiss on the forehead or the cheek or the nose before dex goes out for a run. He's then got an hour or so to wake up, lounge, drink the coffee, check his phone, etc before Dex comes back.

10. Who shows the other how to balance a spoon on their nose?

Saracen

11. Who loves to pull pranks on the other? What type of pranks do they pull and do they pull their pranks off?

Dexter has been doing the "pulls away before Saracen can get in the car thing since cars were invented, and he'll probably still be doing it in a hundred years' time. Saracen knows exactly what he's doing every time he does it, and he knows Dex won't actually drive off without him, but he "falls for it" every time because it kills Dex that he does, and he likes to see Dexter happy.

12. What is something small that they would randomly pick up for one another?

They're both pretty transient and spend a lot of time apart when they're travelling, but Saracen sends Dexter photos of dogs and cats he meets in the street, and Dexter sends Saracen photos of products or places with "dirty" names. So if he passes through a town where his hotel is called Canal View, Saracen will receive a photo of the hotel's sign, but Dex's hand is held up to hide the C, making it "anal View". This is solidly Saracen's sense of humour, he keeps the best ones.

13. Who is the one who can’t stop laughing when trying to tell a joke?

Saracen, when he's been drinking. He giggles the whole way through.

14. Who would plan the other a surprise birthday party?

Saracen. Motherfucker saw through vile's armour like 200 years ago and never breathed a word. Dex won't know shit until everyone jumps out at him.

15. Who picks the other person up when hugging their partner?

Dexter, because he can, because saracen is Smol.

Anyway I'm fucking wheezing at how skug's youngest sibling was like 8 when he got married because all three adult brothers were active duty military when their baby sibs would've become their wards, so they would've been away all the time

And skug was the only one who had a wife, and therefore the only one who could provide a stable home

so he probably had the little ones living with wifey while he was off fighting and? I need them to have been fucking nightmares like

She invites thurid and mrs guild to take tea to try and smooth the way for skulduggery's next promotion bc guild is Going Places and it's all going really well, they're having polite conversation, wifey is charming, she thinks this evening will have a satisfactory ending even though skulduggery bitches about guild and his stupid beard and his Wrong Way Of Doing Things all the time

Enter Respair, age 9, to say goodnight at bedtime. Wifey briefly introduces him to the Guilds and the Guilds to him, and this kid takes one look at Thurid and blurts

And this is why guild actually hates skug on sight
