Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Welcome to Night Vale Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Intern Dana/Intern Vithya Characters: Intern Dana, Intern Vithya, Erika (Welcome to Night Vale) Additional Tags: Femslash, Bechdel Test Pass, Bittersweet, spoilers for Dana, spoilers for Yellow Helicopters, hijabi!Dana, buddhist!Vithya, Religions can be a little different in Night Vale, but there is still plenty of diversity, physical appearances vague Series: Part 1 of we travel in twos (sustain your parallel) Summary:

Persian word for "knowledgeable": Dana. Sanskrit word for "knowledge": Vithya.

Dana'd heard a story once of a prophet in exile, drinking from a hidden spring and food brought to him by birds, until it was time for him to return to his people. It wasn't a bird that came to her on so many dark wings.

Spoiler level: Major through, mm, roughly 41 - WALK, though that applies to the whole series (two fics as of this posting). Specific spoilers for 32 - Yellow Helicopters in particular.

Reccer's notes: DANA/VITHYA. Ahhhh I am so excited, I love this series so much, I don't even know how to talk about it without spoiling it but I love it so so so much

Chapters: 8/8 Fandom: Welcome to Night Vale, Zombies Run! Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Relationships: Carlos/Cecil Palmer Characters: Cecil Palmer, Dana Cardinal, Carlos (Welcome to Night Vale), Pamela Winchell, Tamika Flynn, Steve Carlsberg, Lucy Gutierrez, Hannah Gutierrez Additional Tags: Zombies, Alternate Universe - Zombies, Feelings, Minor Character Death Series: Part 1 of A Night Vale / Zombies, Run! AU Summary:

Before the zombie apocalypse, Carlos was a scientist. Now, between the ravenous hordes that defy all scientific explanation, the vast abandoned cities, and the loss of his old communities, he's not quite sure where he fits in. Arriving alone in a strange desert town, where the locals are alternately welcoming and hostile, and where he's sure that his radio operator is crushing hard on him, Carlos starts to think he may have found some way in which he can be useful: he runs.

A Night Vale / Zombies Run AU, because both stories begin with a newcomer in town, and are narrated by a guiding voice on the radio.

Spoiler level: Vague through 49 - Old Oak Doors A&B. Because this is an alternate universe, you probably won't spoil the canon for yourself if you read the fic first, but the fic will be richer if you already know the canon.

Reccer's notes: My favorite thing about this fic, I think, is its sense of community. That's one of the pillars of Welcome to Night Vale, and this fic brings that out beautifully. Dana and Vithya, Tamika, Pamela Winchell, Steve Carlsberg even, and the Ice Cream Wives in particular, I just, I love that the background and often overlooked characters are brought forward in this fic.
