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

The Captain’s Wings by BabyStepsAreStillSteps for Summer_Meadows
Fandoms: Top Gun: Maverick (2020), Top Gun (1986)

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
She looked over the ragtag group of injured, bloody, shell-shocked crawlers, really taking the scene in. All of them were still so, so young. Their hardened shells cracked down to their cores.
One of them was staring at her, she noticed. The rest were busy recovering, talking loudly amongst themselves, but that one crawler was standing shock still, his hand against the wall, stiff legs unsteady under him.
He looked human, Milk noted. But his race was primal. Carl was his name. Warlord Carl.
“Milk?” he whispered.
The first meeting, through Milk's eyes.

Summary
There was a note next to the running sink. I picked it up, simultaneously turning off the faucet. The sudden silence pressed on me. I didn’t look at the thing hanging from the ceiling. It turned slowly in a circle behind me, making the pipes creak ominously.
Carl, the letter said on the back. I turned it around.
This is my birthday present to you.
Carl's 15th birthday.

I Should Have Let Him In by Puns4Funs
Fandoms: Dungeon Crawler Carl Series - Matt Dinniman
30 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
The alien was saying something about Carl. Asking her if she remembered that she was going to talk to him tonight, whether she remembered the videos they’d shown her. It all seemed too far away and too close all at once, numb and overwhelming. Didn’t they know Carl was dead? She knew. God, did she know. She’d mourned him for months now.
Bea’s POV leading up to and during the confrontation on Odette’s show.
