Why this must be read:

Isn’t it great when one of your favorite writers turns up in a new fandom? In this, her initial foray into Night Vale (“Elapsed time from the post where I said I didn’t think Welcome to Night Vale was my bag to posting first fic: 12 days”), Dira uses a detail from “History Week” as a  springboard into a sweet, sexy, funny story about the first time Cecil and Carlos share a bed. It turns out that Carlos, by accidentally fulfilling the alternate requirements for citizenship rather than attending the usual mandatory classes, has not learned the official town moan, an omission with unfortunate consequences. Fortunately, Cecil is able and willing to assist.

“I’ll come by tonight to help you with the moaning. It’s probably best if I spend the night, it might take hours for you to get the hang of it, and you obviously shouldn’t be trying to handle it alone.”

Carlos stared across the little cafe table, searching Cecil’s face for any sign that he knew what he'd just said.
