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

Is There Anybody Out There? by Catelia for HeyitsRemington
Fandoms: Welcome to Night Vale
20 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
Cecil turns on his broadcasting equipment, sitting in his seat with a sigh, as he prepares to speak into the void, hoping, desperately, that someone, anyone, will here the radio waves carrying his voice across the desert, and come save him from this desolate, lonely wasteland.
This fic is heavily inspired by Is There Anybody Out There by Lord Huron, and takes more inspiration by the rest of the album that song is on, The Cosmic Selector Vol. 1

Summary
Doubles undercover, Desert Bluffs is watching, the smiling god gives orders, but who will be loyal enough to follow them?
When Carlos finds out that Strex Corp has plans to overtake Nightvale, he and Cecil are thrust out of their normal (if you can call it that) life in Nightvale into a strange new world of base camps and battle prep, where they find that everything they thought they new about their little town was a lie. What happens when tensions rise, facades fall, and nobody can be trusted? Nightvale is in grave danger and it's up to them to save their town.
OR
Netflix style TV show adaptation of WTNV (like Riverdale but actually good) written in the style of a film script.Series

Summary
this may be the most self-indulgent fic i've ever written
Leverage and WTNV are both such comfort shows for me, mashing them together just makes sense.
Anyway
Takes place roughly in the last season of Leverage and slightly behind current in WTNV. Once Mother Lauren comes back into town, intern Karim hires the leverage crew to take down strexcorp once and for all. Of course, none of the crew is expecting anything that Nightvale has to offer. The team must figure out how to con a god while navigating the fact that Hardison has no internet, Parker is remembering strange things, Elliot can't seem to trust his instincts, and Nate doesn't know how to predict an unpredictable town. Sophie is everyone's mom. Like usual.
The chapters will probably be quite short, cause I'll be honest, I'm writing this in between tasks at work and have to speed-run each chapter before my co-workers see I'm slacking off
Your comments/kudos give me life <3
Enjoy! -

Promptober 2024 day 2 - Witch/Wizard AU
Carlos didn't speak to insects like they were people. He didn't ask the plants for permission before picking leaves or flowers. He didn't carry crystals on him when they were due to have a test. He wasn't weird. He avoided his family as much as he could because they were weird and wanted him to be weird and he wasn't weird.

Summary
仿生人AU，科學家55、仿生人4。
***
這些……機器，卡洛斯更願意如此稱呼他們，沒有自我意識、也不應該有，他們身上裝設著同一道的程序，表現出完全相同的個性：渴望力量、追求勝利。只是偶爾他們會發現自己應該再多加裝些什麼以提高自己的表現，好處？沒有好處，畢竟仿生人終究不是人類，他們不需要利益的誘惑，只是一昧照程式的設定運作。
*
" 從今以後，你再也不會是戰爭機器了，" 黃昏的夕陽很低，照得蘭多的短捲髮滿是金黃，" 你是有名字、有自我的仿生人……你是機器做的人類，和我一樣的人類。" 仿生人拉著人類奔跑，跑往夕陽的彼端，" 我是……蘭多諾里斯。"
