    Summary

    The list of things in Night Vale worthy of study is long, and part of Carlos’ work in this strange desert community is deciding what takes precedence. With the impossible seismology, apparently psychotropic sandstorms, fake clocks, and whatever those deer are, there's just not enough time to cover everything.

    Also, call it an oversight, a budgetary limitation, or Carlos having seven degrees in natural sciences and none in social sciences, but studying the actual societal structure of Night Vale and its... peculiarities hasn't been a priority.

    Six months in Night Vale to the day, he's going to wish he'd taken the time.

     

    The AU in which A/B/O exists... but only in Night Vale. And after six months of residency, the scientists have just officially become citizens.

    Summary

    “People always talk about how bad the surgery is,” Ed told Hawkeye, “but you never hear people mention how much it sucks to have fifty pounds of metal hanging off your body. Bolts in your bones.”

    “What’s happening?” Mustang asked sharply, turning toward them with his clouded eyes still lingering a few feet over their heads. “Hawkeye? What’s Fullmetal doing? Is there something wrong with his automail?”

    Ed flicked the lighter again, waited a little more patiently this time, and inhaled. Then he gave Hawkeye a nod, giving in to the inevitable. The only reason Mustang hadn’t figured it out already was probably because Ed didn’t do a lot of... this sort of thing. The comfort thing. Mustang liked people to play into his expectations.

    “Edward came out to smoke opium,” Hawkeye said at last. “He says it helps with the pain from his automail.”

    Summary

    “What I’m saying is that you two should sleep together!” The two mains went stiff, their expressions blank at they stared at him. Cosmo broke into a cold sweat.

    “…”

    “…”

    Cosmo put his hands up in defense.“Now I know that sounds bad-“

    “Of course that sounds bad!” Sprout shouted as he stomped his feet.

    “Super bad…” Astro shook his head while grimacing.
