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.

Summary
Angel spent the entirety of his life on earth as a protective big brother —Yes, Molly, eight minutes older counts as a big brother!— and evidently the instincts to defend little sisters had followed him to the afterlife.
He wished he'd been aware of that fact before he was squaring up to the king of hell without any sort of a plan, but he was an actor and ad-libbing as he went was a well-honed skill that would hopefully get him out of the mess rather than executed.
Either way, it was still better than a day in the studio.

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
Valentino really thought that he could threaten to hurt Lucifer's daughter, and then actually hurt one of the residents under his protection? Yeah, no.
Maybe it was time for a reminder of who was really in charge of hell...

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.

Will someone please save Angel Dust? Literally anyone! Anyone at all! by BabyStepsAreStillSteps
Fandom: Hazbin Hotel (Cartoon)
22 Dec 2024
Summary
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 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!

Summary
Steve Harrington is normal, everyone thinks so. Captain of the swim team, starter on the varsity basketball team, most popular boy in school, absolute heartthrob, handsome, and rich. He's King Steve, Steve “the Hair” Harrington. He's an all-American boy growing up in the heartland. And he's spent years working very hard to keep it that way, because the truth is the last thing he is, is normal.
No, Steve Harrington has a dark past he's desperate to escape, however that gets much harder when Will Byers goes missing and Steve just can’t shake the feeling that something is very wrong in Hawkins, something that's pointing straight to his past. But everything will be fine, right? All he has to do is pretend everything is normal.
Or, another lab experiment Steve story because I can’t get it out of my head, so I’m sharing it with everyone.

Summary
A casual conversation between Shallan and Adolin reveals to Kaladin that one of his past masters is his best friends’ friend. Suffice to say, he does not, reasonably, take it well. Adolin and Shallan fret until Kaladin finally breaks under the reminder of every small insensitive comment from them and blows over them.
OR
The fight between the trio that was long coming, and very much needed.
CW: canon typical mentions of slavery, implied/referenced past rape, (again, it almost happens but doesn’t. No direct mentions of it occur. But please don’t read if that makes you uncomfortable), canon typical violence, classism, PTSD. Let me know if I missed anything.
