[[Recap/WelcomeToNightValeEp13AStoryAboutYou The title of this episode seems familiar to you.]]

!!Tropes present in ''A Story About Them'' include:
* ArcWords: The Dark Planet, lit by no sun calls out to another victim.
* HighlyVisibleNinja: They are ostensibly working a secret operation, but don't really make any attempt to hide it. For example, no one is bothered when they tune into the radio and hear their every action is being narrated.
* OpenSecret: "What They do is secret, but there's no need to hide it. Not in this town."
* NarratingThePresent: Like "A Story About You", the events being narrated are happening as they are being narrated.
* TheReveal: This episode reveals what was in the ticking crates from "A Story About You", and why the underground city declared war on Night Vale in "One Year Later".
* SequelEpisode: To "A Story About You"
