History Fanfic / LoveIsAllYouNeedToDestroyYourEnemies

* LaymansTerms: When Carlos tells her the seven Laws of Magic (complete with "thee's" and "thou's") she reinterprets them as: No avada kedavra, no frog prince, no mind-melds, no mind-whammies, no zombies, no wibbley-wobbley timey-wimey stuff, and no Cthulhu.

* BigDamnHeroes: Tamika Flynn makes several guest appearances as the leader of the Strex-Resistance, usually to bail Carlos out of trouble and Tamika's mother (a friend of Carlos's and magical practitioner) also joins the frey and smacks an enemy Mook with her minivan at one point, saving Carlos from certain death.
* BookEnds: The First and Last Chapters both open with the same line: ''Carlos decides he's going to become a scientist when he's 6 years old.'' [[spoiler: The only difference between them is the age when Carlos decides.]]

* TimeyWimeyBall: Time Travel is a major feature of the story but for the most part it makes sense. Most of the time.
** TrappedInThePast: The first major arc features Carlos suffering from this, being sent back a year in time during a terrible Sand Storm and being unable to leave Night Vale until he passes the point where he was sent into the past.
** SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: One of the motivations behiend Strex Corp's experimentation with Time Travel, and [[spoiler: Double!Carlos]], however it's discussed how this is a mostly pointless struggle as most time travel stabilizes [[StableTimeLoop into loops]]. Strex hopes to overcome this limitation through blending of science and magic, and through use of the way time is screwy in Night Vale. [[spoiler: They fail, despite their best efforts]].
** StableTimeLoop: Several are happen over the course of the series, odd or unexplained events in earlier chapters are often the result of the time meddling that went on in later chapters, it's not till the epilogue where it's revealed the sheer *scope* of some of them, with it being implied more will come.
** YearInsideHourOutSide: Time is screwy, because the Master Wards are so powerful and take up so much energy that the space within them and the space outside aren't in great sync. Internally it's even worse, because the Outsiders' power warps time, and leads to one person perceiving a certain event as taking hours, and another perceiving it and taking minutes. This is one reason why Time Magic works especially well in Night Vale as compared to the outside world.
* TheVamp: Dr Caroline Raith, a White Court Vampire who uses her powers to gain a edge inside the Strex Corp hierarchy. Works usually, but when she runs afoul of the Asexual Dr Kwan it's...not as effective as she would like.

* BigBadDuumvirate: Dr Caroline Raith serves as the primary antagonist of the series along with [[spoiler: Carlos's Double]]. Both of them however are subservient to the BiggerBad that is the Kevin, and the yet BiggerBad the Smiling God, who rules Strex Corp with an iron fist.

* SealedEvilInACan: Early on it's revealed that Night Vale serves as both graveyard and prison to defeated Outsiders- evil horrors from beyond reality itself. The Master Wards ensure the monsters can never escape. This is the source of ''some'' of Night Vale's crazy hi-jinks. Why anyone would choose to live on there considering where it is, no one can explain. [[spoiler: It's revealed that the citizen's actually help reinforce the prison. Double-Carlos claims that the White Council knew this and stopped trying to discourage settlers as a result.]]

Wizard Carlos Ramirez is the recently appointed Regional Warden-Commander for the Western United States, and it falls to him to safe guard the magical beings from California to Colorado, and to enforce the Seven Laws of Magic. Within his purview, is a friendly desert community where the Sun is hot, the Moon is beautiful, and the mysterious lights that make up the [[SealedEvilInACan Master Wards, walls of the prison to ancient long-dead eldritch beings]], shine overhead while its citizen's pretend to sleep. Carlos, Welcome to Night Vale.

The main focus of the story is Carlos's attempts to watch over Night Vale and it's Wards- which are set to detonate and turn the entire area to ash if they are ever pierced. Things however, take a turn for the worse when Carlos has to make am emergency run to Night Vale during a sand-storm that threatens the Wards, is attacked by [[EvilDoppelganger his double]] and [[TimeTravel is pushed through a Time Vortex that sends him back a year]]. Unable to leave the town for fear that it might damage the Currents of Time, and in order for mutual survival he bands together with a team of Scientists who have come to Night Vale for the first time. Things spiral out of control from there.

* OddlySmallOrganization: While Strex Corp never really had to many named members in WelcomeToNightvale canon, only three employees have speaking roles in the fic, [[spoiler: and even then it might be a stretch to call Double!Carlos a employee.]]
