Fandom: Welcome to Night Vale, His Dark Materials
Characters/Pairings: Cecil/Carlos, Khoshekh, scientists
Rating: R
Disclaimer/warnings: See the His Dark Materials AU masterpost.

"Subway" with daemons, part two. Carlos and his team are studying one of the subway entrances when a distraught Khoshekh tracks them down: Cecil has gone missing. It's only about an hour from Carlos's perspective, but it's one of the most stressful he's ever had. And even after Cecil returns, it isn't easy to re-adjust after being so long away from home.

On the plus side, there's nothing like mortal terror to inspire you to reach certain physical-intimacy milestones.
