Out of the Frying Pan... by celticbisexual

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.

Summary
They’d thrown everything they had into defeating Darquesse, and it worked. At the cost of everyone’s lives, that is.
Everyone except Skulduggery Pleasant.
History has a funny way of repeating itself.
Or, how would Skulduggery react if literally everyone else died trying to defeat Darquesse? Yes, this is very depressing but no, I do not regret making it.

Summary
She listened to the ringing, wondering if he would pick up. What would she do if he didn't?
Eventually, the ringing stopped and she held her breath at the sound of movement.
“Val?” Fletcher croaked.
“Did I wake you?” She spoke softly. She forgot there was a time difference. It was seven p.m for her, meaning it was three a.m in Ireland, where he was. She had woken him.
“No, no, you’re fine. What’s wrong?” He had his morning voice, the voice she fell in love with every time she heard it.
She hesitated. Should she tell him? No. She decided against it, she would just end up causing more problems for him.
