Imagine a Skulduggery Pleasant AU where everyone is Australian:
Everyone swears 120% more than in canon.
The perpetually changing Grand Mages fits with what's been happening in mortal Australia.
Anton has a shack in the bush instead of the hotel, he grows a beard and fits in perfectly.
Saracen is a hipster.
Skulduggery was a bush ranger back in the day.
Valkyrie's school is so much more feral and out of control. There's a reason she's so quick to become Skulduggery's partner - she just wants to escape.
They all have different Australian accents.
Children of the Spider makes more sense considering ...
Valkyrie has to say "that's dog" at least once. Lots of Australian slang should be included.
Larrikin tried to ride a kangaroo and succeeded (nobody can ride a kangaroo).
Much more wildlife and dangerous animals that nobody really cares about.
The struggle every night
I just want to keep reading but I should sleep 😴😱😴😱
A/N: This is completely self-indulgent, since my Dexter Vex feels were at a peak. This is set during SOW, but there are no spoilers involved. Valkyrie and Tanith miss the old Dexter and Skulduggery knows how to get to him.
„I’m worried about him.“Â
Tanith looked up from cleaning her sword and sent Valkyrie a clueless look. „I’m worried about all of us.“ Meaningfully she motioned at the all surrounding death threats of the Leibniz Universe. „But do specify.“
Valkyrie put her head up on her hands and sighed. „Dexter. He is … not himself.“
Taniths’ shoulders slumped down a little. It was true, she had noticed it herself. But what was there to do about it? He was marked by all the things that have happened to him. He didn’t take life as lightly as he used to. He wasn’t an adventurer anymore, but a man who had seen too much, had endured too much, had lost too much. He was slowly but securely turning into Skulduggery. There was still a spark inside of him that reminded her of the old Dexter - a friendly wink, a sudden uncontrollable laugh, an instinctively done dance move during a fight. But a lot was missing. So much of him wasn’t there. And the sparks didn’t last long. They vanished, making space for the grim, scarred, silent Dexter whose beard had replaced his smile.
„Do you think there is anything we can do to…“ Valkyrie stopped mid-sentence, sighing like any attempt of restoring the old Dexter was hopeless from the start. Her sad face combined with the sad surroundings and the sad situation made Tanith wish for a medicine strong enough to cure her friends traumas alltogether. All of them wiped away, making space for happy memories and happy new experiences.Â
Skulduggery started getting up from where he had been meditating close-by and put on his hat. He stayed standing there, seemingly checking if Saracen and Dexter were returning from their hunt. Gently and surprisingly moved he said: „I can help.“

Everybody keeps posting about how good SoW is and I´m just here waiting until my paperback copy finally arrives in two weeks :(
At least now I´m positively hyped to read it as opposed to just hoping Landy doesn´t kill or destroy my favs.
Also he calls it "scharf" which can mean both sharp or hot, so it kinda is a double entendre
we all talk about tanith being a bicon but let’s just have a moment of appreciation for these two
100% accurate - both are annoying and if they do something helpful, 9/10 times it´s an accident
Fletcher is the Jar Jar Binks of SP
i have never seen a star wars movie, so i’ll just have to take your word for it
These are so amazing!! I've never agreed with any SP cast ideas, but if those were real people, I'd cast them 100%.
