''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/1179459/chapters/2404889 He Says He Volunteers as Tribute]]'' by Sailor Ptah
* Recommended by: Maxwell_Edison
* Fusion with Literature/TheHungerGames
* Synopsis: AU. How Carlos scienced his way into winning the Hunger Games, coped with the ongoing attentions of terrifying Capitol commentator Cecil Palmer, and, eventually, found himself acting as mentor to twelve-year-old Tamika Flynn.
* Comments: Considering that skewed perspectives on absolute horror are at the centers of both ''Welcome to Night Vale'' and ''The Hunger Games'', maybe it's not surprising how well the two canons mesh. This fusion is completely seamless and utterly horrifying.



[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/1044948/ Unvoiced]] by Xparrot
* Recommended by: Maxwell_Edison
* Pairing: Cecil/Carlos
* Synopsis: ''"It doesn't hurt like that." The fear in his eyes, in his too-hard breaths, hardly sounds in his dull baritone. "I'm not the Voice of Night Vale anymore, it seems."'' StrexCorp makes its move against the Voice of Night Vale, and Carlos struggles to handle the aftermath and its impact on Cecil, as the entire town rallies to save their community.
* Comments: What does it mean to be the Voice of Night Vale? Fans love to speculate on this point, and this fic presents one of the most coherent and compelling explanations around, deftly incorporating canon minutia throughout. More than that, though, it is a lovely portrait of Carlos and Cecil, their relationship, and the strange and dangerous town they both love.

* ''Synopsis'': The two cities which are his concern do not appear to be any different from the lifeless Fata Morganas he’s seen. Their silhouettes shift every time he looks at them, and Dream does not blink. The roads leading in buck and writhe in front of him and behind, but stay constant under his feet.
