you're the voice that calls me home by butchjeanpierrepolnareff

Summary
Ford Prefect is not a brave carbon-based being, okay? Nor is he the sentimental sort. Nor the one to buy a spaceship to help his (best) friend recover after his daughter shot him right before the (second) explosion of the Earth.
But sometimes, life throws this kind of uncharacteristic stuff at you, and you have to take it like a champ.
Especially when an intergalactic oil tycoon pulls your spaceship in his orbit, and things get a terrifying turn. -

Summary
There was a child, once, with three names. The first one was given on an escape pod, the second one by cruel tongues, and the third one by a wholly remarkable book known as the Hitch-Hiker's Guide to The Galaxy.
This boy, other than having three names, has a brain that is a haunted house. Or, to say it better, a haunted dead planet.Or: my very personal boy horror-esque Ford Prefect backstory, now with a side of romance!

A Good Bit by TheAestheticMerchant (Teacat)
Fandoms: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams
30 Dec 2024
Tags
Summary
The Guide thought it destroyed everything.
The Grebulons did too.
In this universe, those with a fire in their hearts have ways of escaping the finalities of death.
After the fall of Stavro Mueller's Beta club, Arthur Dent wakes up in a hotel on the planet Constructoria, where everything is constantly under construction. No one else is there, and he's a million billion light-years from the remnants of Earth. Again.
Meanwhile, Ford Prefect wakes up in an alternate dimension where tea never existed and the universe is under eternal Prohibition laws. As Hell wraps around him and he adopts a new name, a time traveller from the planet Arizona saves both him and Arthur, ushering in a brand new era of temporal investigations and illicit travel.
A Good Bit is a sequel that never was to a trilogy that refused to end, and somehow just keeps going. And, it has Marvin in it.

Ford is feeling a bit emotional. Arthur tries to help.

Summary
Sound and light swirled strangely about the air. Arthur held dumbly onto the little matchbook that sealed his fate as peace took hold of him. He was only dimly aware of Ford Prefect, laughing madly still, barely able to get a word out as he approached.
“This is my last chance, isn’t it?” he said loudly over the cacophony. “Before we all die?”
Ford and Arthur figure things out at the end of the world.

Understand by Dent (OokidoShigeru)

Summary
Random thought about family and thought about birds and thought about Earth. She and her father were well and truly homeless now, it seemed. No Earth. No going back to Lamuella. No real direction in space.
Random's feeling a bit introspective- or perhaps a bit sulky- after surviving the events on Earth. After all, who else understands what it's like to carry the weight of your parents' homeworld which you never really knew and was effectively destroyed before you were born?

Quinn C. Dent is, so far as she knows, a perfectly normal teenage girl. Her family life's a bit chaotic, but otherwise she's no different than any average person on Earth. Things are about to take a very odd turn for her.

Random stared enraptured by the tick-tick-ticking of the little watch in her hands. The complicated dance of the little hands, going round the face in their timed steps, was fascinating all on its own.
