<blockquote>The night that his research partner (and sort-of ex) shows up at his apartment with a gun, Carlos decides to take a mysterious but exceptionally well funded two-year research posting in a town called Night Vale.
A story in which Night Vale is there for the people who need it, Cecil's propensity to wear his innocent heart on his sleeve is perceived as a threat (until it isn't) and no one is allowed to hurt the Scientist. No one.</blockquote>
➤ I was wary when this fic introduced Cecil with sweatervests and sleeve tattoos (...that particular headcanon seems to go along with fics/arts/ideas I'm not into) but no turns out this fic is awesome
➤ ALSO it's an asexual romance that DOESN'T involve the romance partners engaging in sexual activity but instead involves the sexual partner being extremely respectful of the asexual partners boundaries!
➤ Also this is the fic with the Orphanarians and the invisible orphan lab assistant
➤ as of bookmarking it says it's one chapter short of being finished but it reads as finished as it is so I'm guessing it's just an epilogue coming.
