A sneak peak of my SP fic wip heheh

"Tell me we’re here because someone important died tragically.” Valkyrie gestured up at the looming building.

Skulduggery adjusted his hat. “Someone important always dies tragically. It’s the only way to become important after death.”

“That’s not comforting.”

“I wasn’t aiming for comforting.”

“I, for example,” he added lightly, “am widely regarded as both obscenely important and tragically deceased.”

She looked at him pointedly.

Valkyrie + Skulduggery becomes Valduggery

...But Darquesse + Lord Vile can become Darq Lord lmfaooo

[whimsylueur]

"If she was trapped in somewhere like this," Valkyrie said, "that'd be it, though, wouldn't it? There'd be no chance of talking to her, of getting her to control herself or anything like that?"

"That would be impossible. The only reason Argeddion hasn't escaped is because he's been kept in an artificially induced coma. We can't allow him to wake up - ever. With Darquesse, it would be even more important to keep her sedated. If you give someone like that a moment of consciousness, she'd kill you and everyone else."

"Well," Valkyrie said, frowning, "that sucks."

Lament looked surprised. "You'd prefer the alternative?"

"No," she said quickly. "No, I was just thinking, from her perspective that sucks, not from our... Never mind. Could we have a copy of the plans?"

"I don't see why not," said Lament. "But do you have enough people to monitor her? Do you have anyone who'd be willing to give up the rest of their life to spend with her?"

"I would," Skulduggery said.

Imagining an instance where they actually brought this plan to life is so depressing, it does amazing things to my brain chemistry.

Anyway peep my mad man poetry in the tags x

8 years on and this scene still lives in my head rent fucking free. (also EIGHT YEARS?????????????? HELLO HAS IT REALLY BEEN THAT LONG SINCE RESURRECTION. was i really TEN years old reading this shit. it's breaking my brain i can't.)

but also THIS SCENE!!!!! pls tell me if i'm crazy but there's like..... a lot of tension here right.....? why doesn't val say anything? why is she just standing in the doorway watching him putting his clothes on? did skulduggery know she was there? like it's very confusing to me and i'm not sure what it's implying other than yk tension. this seems to be a vulnerable moment for skulduggery as well. could also be just a reflective introspective moment for val, thinking about what they've been through together. but idk.

(also why aren't there any fics of this scene. imo it is up there next to the mr and mrs jones scene)

life is good bc i can enjoy (queer)platonic valduggery one moment, and then ship the hell out of them a second later. they're insane about each other and a danger to themselves & society either way, why should i limit myself to one interpretation of their dynamic?
