Fandoms: Hazbin Hotel (Cartoon)
21 Nov 2025

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.

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.

Summary
Will someone please save Angel Dust? At this point I would be fine with literally anyone saving him, anyone at all, but until the show delivers, fanfic will have to answer the call.
A collection of unrelated one-shots of all the ways Angel could be set free from his contract with Valentino, some more serious than others.

Vaggie really wasn't sure how she'd gone from only barely tolerating Angel to scheming with him, but somehow the love of her girlfriend continually got her into such situations...
Ah well, Charlie was worth it.

The Bard Who Cried Wolf by BabyStepsAreStillSteps for Summer_Meadows
Fandoms: The Witcher (TV), Wiedźmin | The Witcher - All Media Types
22 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
Upon returning to his alma mater whilst his wolf wintered in Kaer Morhen, Jaskier could hardly wait to spend long cold nights laughing with his closest friends from school and bright, sunny days instructing the newest generation of talented young bardlings Oxenfurt housed.
Everything was going splendidly, right up until Jaskier’s one true enemy, Valdo Marx, decided he would also be wintering at Oxenfurt.
Nevertheless, Jaskier resolved himself to have an excellent season. He was sure nothing too catastrophic could go wrong in one short winter, no matter how unpleasant the company may be.
(*Narrator voice* : Everything went catastrophically wrong almost immediately -and the company was indescribably unpleasant-, but then again, what’s a little unadulterated hatred between friends?)

Will someone please save Angel Dust? Literally anyone! Anyone at all! by BabyStepsAreStillSteps
Fandom Hazbin Hotel (Cartoon)
21 Nov 2025
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 is trying to convince me to write instances where Angel Dust is saved by every named character in Season One of Hazbin Hotel.
I'm not entirely sure I'll accomplish that, but here is my collection so far.
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!

Wake up, sunshine by NovaCaneWay
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026)
17 Apr 2026
Tags
Summary
It had been a long and difficult 27 years since the Hail Mary had launched. Not as terrible as it could have been, but not easy. Humanity had survived and adapted, as it always did. There had been terrible wars. There had been incredible acts of kindness. There had been massive scientific breakthroughs. And now, there were two distant blips of Petrova-light, picked up by the Deep Space Network, hurtling home. Two probes, braking hard as they hurtled toward Earth holding the secrets to its salvation. They were late, or at least, not very early, but they were here.
Grace may have made his peace with dying to save Rocky, but Rocky insists they return to Earth.

I Wanna Be the Shadow When My Bright Future's Behind Me by textualstyle
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir

Summary
“Health improving. Happy happy happy.”
“Wow Rock, I didn’t know you cared so much!”
I’m just teasing, trying to make light of how closely he seems to observe me. But the mood of the conversation swings and when he speaks it’s louder, frustrated, almost offended. “Of course care! Of course!"Bookmarked by BabyStepsAreStillSteps

Summary
There is nothing heavier than a guilty man’s conscience. There is nothing bloodier than a murderer’s hands still clutching the knife. There is nothing more pathetic than holding the truth while bathing in lies.
Carl isn’t sure when all three of these statements started to apply to him simultaneously, but he’ll make sure at least one of those doesn’t anymore.
(Carl has a video recording of the day Ryland Grace’s life on earth ended, and he’s not taking it to the grave, even if it takes decades to convince himself of that.)

Now Trending: My Mate and the Human They Didn't Want by Acewithapaintbrush
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026)

Summary
It's not jealousy. Adrian is adamant about that. They are actually insisting that it’s not any emotion at all. Not even dislike. They are simply completely uninterested in anything that concerns “the human”.
Rocky believes them. Adrian has always been the level-headed one out of the two of them. They are too logical to be jealous. They acknowledge that Grace and Rocky have a special bond after everything they went through together and also understand that none of that will ever pose a threat to their relationship.
Neither are they heartless or ungrateful. They know that Grace is the only reason that Rocky is back at all, the only reason their star has stopped dying. Adrian has told Rocky again and again that they are grateful and happy and wish the alien no ill will. They even helped with the construction of the biodome.
And yet they have no desire to get to know Grace.
**************
You know those videos where the dad is like "You may keep the cat but I will have nothing to do with it" and a few days later they are smothering the kitty with cuddles and love?
Adrian never stood a chance.
