Summary
Throughout five seasons and sixty-five episodes, we - and therefore Merlin - never once heard the actual prophecy that guided, led, and dragged our characters to their ends. There were quotes and excerpts, cliff notes and summaries, but never once the prophecy itself.
Merlin stood by Arthur’s side for more than a decade, working toward their shared future without ever once hearing the prophecy that foretold it.
How would things have changed if he had heard it?

Summary
Maverick really should have known better than to promise to settle things with Rooster after the mission and still expect them all to come through unscathed.Maverick’s second ejection in a month didn’t leave him quite as uninjured as he’d thought it had, and it’s Rooster that has to try to pick up the pieces. Luckily he has a whole aircraft carrier of people to pull him through.

True to her word, Charlie's next lesson was on boundaries. It didn't go quite how Angel expected it to, but it might just end up being the most important lesson of his entire afterlife.

Summary
Angel had known that there would be a severe punishment for saving Niffty, even as he stepped up to do so, but he had been so sure it would come in the studio that it had never even once crossed his mind that it would be the hotel that was the actual problem.

Behind The Scenes by BabyStepsAreStillSteps for Summer_Meadows

Summary
An impression of someone is generally formed within the first seven seconds of meeting, which is then typically reinforced with each new interaction.
Sometimes, though, sometimes the view of someone can completely change with just one quick peek behind the scenes.
Husk is kind of afraid he just had one of those moments... Vaggie thinks she might have, too.

Will someone please save Angel Dust? Literally anyone! Anyone at all! by BabyStepsAreStillSteps
Fandom Hazbin Hotel (Cartoon)
11 Apr 2026
Summary
All of these stories are disconnected except the last one I will publish, 'All Roads Lead To Haven' which was loosely planned to be the epilogue of any of the stories that Angel is freed in. Otherwise, each of these stories are standalone fics with the same theme.
My baby sister, Summer_Meadows, is ridiculous, and ridiculously cute, and she has convinced me to write instances where Angel Dust is saved by every named character in Season One of Hazbin Hotel.
NOTE: If anyone has any off-shoot ideas from this series, you should FEEL FREE TO WRITE IT! If anyone has an idea for a different way a story could have ended, or what happens after the story is over, or what it was like from another character's point of view FEEL FREE TO WRITE IT!
If these fics spark ideas, FEEL FREE TO WRITE THEM , my only requirement is that you please tag the story that sparked it in the 'Inspired by' field so I get a notification because I'd love to read what you create!

Summary
So I can't die.
I was in undergrad when I finally couldn't deny it any more. I'd been hit by a car and walked it off with barely a scratch. Though, really, "can't die" was a wild oversimplification of something I still didn't fully understand.
Aka Grace remembers that he's literally indestructible at the worst possible moment. This complicates things.

Two-Body Problem by spektrewrites (BadForTheHeart)

Summary
Two-body problem: A problem of classical mechanics to calculate and predict the motion of two massive bodies that are orbiting each other in space.
“Adrian, just a small warning: the Rocky that came back might not be the Rocky you know. It’s classified, but my friend is one of the comms specialist on the space elevator. They told me things. He acts… weird. He doesn’t sleep, and neglects the medical and psychological exams. I’m not sure he’s here, if you know what I mean."
“Where is he, then?” Adrian’s musical notes come out discordant.
“Wherever his human companion is stuck. If the alien dies, Rocky might never come down from the stars.”Series

“Rocky,” I say sharply. The irritation feels unpleasant inside me, foreign like a toxin.

Summary
Grace squeezes out a wet chuckle, thick with emotion, before suddenly falling silent. Its mouth does that strange up-down up-down movement, like it’s trying to figure out if it’s perplexed or amused. “Wait a minute—“ The human flops on its side to face them.
“Rock, that almost sounds like I’m your kids’ \.\\.”
“New word.”
“Uh… companion animal.”

Grace and Rocky talk about evolution, family dynamics, and dogs.

Summary
My heart is racing as I sit on my bunk. I don’t wanna go into a coma, but there is no way I can stay awake for another two years!
“Be brave for once!” I say to myself. “Co…Computer, Induce Coma”
I close my eyes, I don’t wanna see the arms coming for me.
“Inducing coma” the robot confirms. I feel the stitch of the IV in my arm. Maybe this is a bad idea?Or
The Thaumoeba didn’t evolve to get through xenonite and Ryland Grace is going home. To not turn crazy being alone for four years he goes into a coma for the second half of the journey.
