We set sg1 = 1 if x2>=x1 and sg1 = -1 if x2<x1
and likewise sg2 = 1 fi y2 >= y1 and sg2 = -1 if y2 < y1.

sx1 = x1 + r1*(cos(alpha+beta))*sg1
sy1 = y1 + r1*(sin(alpha+beta))*sg2
sx2 = x1 + r1*(cos(alpha-beta))*sg1
sy2 = y1 + r1*(sin(alpha-beta))*sg2

If x2 ≥ x1, we have the correct angle. No correction is needed.

If x2 < x1, calculated alpha should really be pi - alpha

cos((pi - alpha) ± beta) = cos(pi - (alpha ∓ beta)) = cos(alpha ∓ beta) * -1
sin((pi - alpha) ± beta) = sin(pi - (alpha ∓ beta)) = sin(alpha ∓ beta)

→ sy does not require correction.

Code:
function intersection(p1,r1, p2, r2)     p2 = p2 - p1        -- p2 relative to p1     local d = p2:abs()     local a = asin(p2:imag()/d)     local b = acos((d*d+(r1+r2)*(r1-r2)) / (2*d*r1))     local sg1 = p2:real()<0 and -1 or 1     return p1 + r1*(cos(a+b)*sg1 + sin(a+b)*I),            p1 + r1*(cos(a-b)*sg1 + sin(a-b)*I) end
