The First Real Resident by BabyStepsAreStillSteps for Summer_Meadows
Fandoms: Hazbin Hotel (Cartoon)
10 May 2026

Summary
"Our first real resident!"
The announcement had echoed through his head since Charlie had giddily exclaimed it. If Angel wasn't a resident, then what was he? He didn't have a job at the hotel, unless acting out the skits Charlie put together counted.
She had said he was family, but if anything, that only worried him more. He'd had a family before, on earth, that had given him a home all the way up until the point where they hadn't. How long would it be until the others at the hotel discovered one of his preferences, like his father had, and decided it meant he deserved to be homeless? Between her mother and her father, it was hardly as though Charlie had a family that stuck together through thick and thin.
No, Angel decided to himself as he lay awake staring at his ceiling, if he wanted to stay -and he did- he'd need to pull his act together and try to change himself to fit the hotel rather than the hotel to fit him. Maybe if he was just useful enough, he could prove to them he was worth keeping around.

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.

Summary
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.

Will someone please save Angel Dust? Literally anyone! Anyone at all! by BabyStepsAreStillSteps
Fandom Hazbin Hotel (Cartoon)
21 May 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
Grace had accepted his fate. He would return Rocky to his home planet, and then, he would die. But now, as their journey to Erid comes to a close, Grace realizes the truth. He doesn’t want to die, and Rocky can’t sit back and watch someone else he loves die. The duo works together to find a way to keep Grace alive, but that is much easier said than done.

Summary
It's been years since Doctor Ryland Grace saved Erid and Earth. He is content with his life, happy just to teach the next generation of Eridians and have the occasional game night with Rocky and Adrian in his dome. For the most part, nothing changes.
And that's the problem. Shouldn't Grace, y'know...age? When Rocky indicates that he should be sixty human years old by now, Grace can't reconcile the young face in the mirror with the time that his friend has religiously kept.
Things get more complicated when another undoubtedly human ship shows up at the edge of the 40 Eridani system. Suddenly Grace is playing ambassador between the two species, and tensions are rising between them. Will this be a successful second contact, or is the peaceful life Grace just wants to live too much to ask for?

Summary
Three years after the probes carrying Taumoeba and Dr. Ryland Grace's final message arrive on Earth, humanity launches an interstellar spaceship with a brand new mission. Thirty-six crew members (including two graduates of a certain San Franciscan junior high school) travel to the star 40-Eridani to make friendly contact with the Eridians and bring them the alien life form from Tau Ceti-E that can save their star if Dr. Grace's sacrifice failed.
Grace, now fifty-seven years old, is just trying to balance his life as a teacher while no longer being the only human on the planet anymore. It's a big adjustment, but Rocky and the Terra's Grace crew are going to make sure he's well taken care of.
