Summary
"I should never have asked you to leave Night Vale," Carlos said. "No matter what was happening over here, no matter how bad things got... the Desert Otherworld is worse. I was wrong, and I'm sorry."
Cecil waved him off. "I'll accept that last apology, but we're not going to dwell on it anymore. We've said what we had to, and now it's behind us. We are going forward."
"Going forward," Carlos repeated. "Together."
After a year spent in the Desert Otherworld, our favorite scientist is finding it difficult readjusting to life back in Night Vale. But, with the support of his friends, found-family, and his ever-loving boyfriend Cecil, Carlos will discover that a scientist is never alone. A companion piece to the fourth season of Welcome to Night Vale.

Summary
The original Desert Bluffs had turned its back on him. Why shouldn't it? He'd betrayed them and they had no reason to forgive him.
Carlos had turned his back on him. And why shouldn't he? He'd been betrayed as well, and why should Kevin ever be allowed to earn his forgiveness?
But Desert Bluffs Too... that was supposed to have been his fresh start, and even they were bending their will to the whims of Lauren Mallard, and history would just repeat itself as it always did. His past was inescapable. He was doomed to a cycle of abuse and misery, mutilation and torture.
Set after the events of Truth, and Other Misconceptions: Year Three, Kevin tries to find his place in a Desert Bluffs Too that may be about to repeat the mistakes of the past. Sometimes, to wander the desert alone? Enlightenment.... And Kevin is going to need some.

Summary
During his time with Dana, Carlos had learned one very valuable truth about the Desert Otherworld: how time worked. For every day spent back home, roughly ten passed in this strange place.
Carlos had promised to call Cecil every night. His darling, dearest radio host had no idea about the time discrepancy, and the scientist was finding it difficult filling him in on it. Every time he tried to broach the subject of just how many days were passing for him, his mouth felt tied up in knots, and speaking the truth became impossible.
A companion piece to the third year of Welcome to Night Vale, as everyone's favorite scientist struggles with the distance and loneliness of being trapped in a Desert Otherworld. And what is the truth behind she who would not let him pass through and return home?

Summary
As he parked his car, she stooped down to grab a rock from the pile she’d made on the sidewalk next to her. She gripped it tightly in her fist, and then whipped it at one of the identical houses that lined the residential street. The projectile found its mark, and as it collided with the window, it spilled hundreds of glittering glass shards to the ground below.
Cecil leaned against the side of his car and watched her. “You do know that what you’re doing is illegal?” he asked, though he made no move to stop her. Everything she’d been doing thus far was her choice. Who was he to tell her to stop? Still… she deserved to be warned. Night Vale authorities wouldn’t be so kind to a repeat offender.
While Carlos is away in the Desert Otherworld, Cecil and Rochelle have a heart-to-heart, or as much of a heart-to-heart as the stubborn scientist will allow him. Set in the Truth, and Other Misconceptions universe.
