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?

The Captain’s Wings by BabyStepsAreStillSteps for Summer_Meadows

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.

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
Ryland Grace woke with a start, opening his eyes before quickly squeezing them shut against the bright light of the room. His head was tipped back, the top pressing back into a soft surface. Turning his face to the side, away from the direct view of the light, he gave a few cautious blinks until his eyes adjusted. After a moment, he carefully looked up, rolling his head into an upright position to look around the room.
It featured two rows of reclined leather chairs, the back row elevated slightly above the front. The right arm of each chair featured a few buttons on a small keypad. In each seat there was a member of the Project Hail Mary research and mission team. Most of the members were blinking awake like he was, although some were still unconscious.or
The members of the Project Hail Mary find themselves in a cinema, forced to watch a film which supposedly shows their future. Their captor tells them this will allow them to save Earth (and Erid) but how?or
A watching the film fic because every fandom needs one.
