Summary
When Carlos first met Cecil, it was almost as if the man wasn't actually there. It wasn't the he was spacey, or his head was somewhere else, but it's as if his physical form wasn't there, didn't even exist.
And then, over the years, that started to change
Or-
I listened to one of the older episodes again, and was once more reminded how current Cecil sounds much more alive and like a genuine person than past Cecil, and I wanted to try out making a fic around that

Summary
Keith was not expecting to walk through the Garrison gates and straight into flying tackle-hug from a very pale, very purple-accented person, but that’s exactly what happens.
“KEITH!!!! YOU’VE RETURNED FROM THE BLOOD SPACE WAR MOSTLY INTACT, PRAISE THE SPHERES!”
And suddenly Keith has his arms full of Uncle Cecil, who is clinging to him like he might vanish back into space at any second.

Sense, Sentience, and Sensibility. by thoughtless_dreamer for samuraiflo
Fandoms: Welcome to Night Vale
04 Jun 2014
Tags
Summary
Carlos was well aware that all of Night Vale understood that, he was, first and foremost, a scientist. But he really was trying to be an equally good boyfriend. He knew he sometime forgot their dates, or rushed off to do science at a moment’s notice and he was trying to step it up. What better way to win boyfriend points than surprising him before dinner by coming over early with a copy of Cat Ballou? And if dinner and a movie maybe finally lead to a little more than kissing after six months of Cecil suddenly running off whenever they get a little carried away kissing--well Carlos would be absolutely fine with that. He just wanted to surprise his boyfriend. It's just...Cecil isn't the only one in for a surprise.

The Oppressive Limitations of Time by this_is_a_podcast_fanblog

Summary
"Now, I want everyone to think," said Nilanjana, setting the chalk down. She leaned forward with her palms on the desk. "What was the worst danger this town has faced in recent history? The time we came closest to being destroyed?"
"Strexcorp," said Carlos, Abby, Luisa, and Mark.
"When Carlos was trapped in the desert otherworld," said Cecil.
"Yes to you four, no to Cecil. We were almost taken over by Strexcorp, because they were people. Not giant centipedes, not plastic bags, not any unintelligent thing we could destroy, people. And people are more than just sentience. They have emotions and reasoning and logic. They can plan and think."
~~~
A new team of scientists arrives in Night Vale, but they want much more from the town than to research it. These scientists want nothing less than total control of Night Vale. For the citizens ready to rise and defend their weird and wonderful home, this means war.Series

Summary
If he wasn't touching the love of his life for the first time in weeks, Carlos would instantly be trying to remember what he's read about astral projection or shared dreaming, to figure out the science behind whatever's happening here. As it is, he makes a mental note to look into it later, but right now nothing seems worth taking his hands off of Cecil for.

Summary
"Are you sure this mirror is working correctly?”
Carlos doesn’t bother glancing up from the book he doesn’t remember checking out of the Night Vale Public Library. He’s heard stranger questions – much stranger questions – in his last two years of residence in Night Vale. “Yes, Cecil. Why?” He flips the page to the next chapter slowly, bracing himself for spiders or blood or whatever tends to seep out of book spines.
Luckily, it only yelps a little bit this time.
“Because,” Cecil says, voice edging on a cliff of anxiety. “I can see me.”
After two years in Night Vale, Carlos just wants to introduce his boyfriend to his family. Cecil has his doubts.

Summary
Set just after Episode 3 ("Station Management"). Written for H/C bingo on Dreamwidth, prompt "telepathic trauma".
Cecil doesn't quite make it to the door in time to escape Station Management. For reasons of their own, they let him live, but the radio host is still left wounded, shaken, and hurt, trapped in a nightmare of torture as punishment for asking for letters.
Carlos, who realized weeks ago that he has the survival instinct of a lemming, comes running to his rescue, and lends Cecil a shoulder to lean on and a floor to sleep on for the night. A lot goes unsaid after Cecil wakes up, because neither one of them is good at finding the right words when face-to-face. But Carlos finds himself with a lot to think about, and Cecil winds up thanking Carlos the only way he knows how.

Summary
If Carlos was to define himself, he wouldn’t use words like spy or secret agent or government operative. While that was his current employment position, it wasn’t who he was.
He was a scientist, first and foremost.
———
Everything’s the same, except Carlos is supposed to spy on Night Vale. He’s not very good at it.
