Summary
“Listeners, I have just received word that our lovely Carlos, the scientist, is being followed around by an unknown child! Where did this child come from? What could they want with our dear Carlos? Could this child be a threat to him and his team of other scientists, or is this child simply their newest- and first- intern? As of now, I do not have the answers to any of these questions for you, but I assure you dear listeners: we will find out, and when we do, I will tell all of you, as is my job.”
(Jonathan "Jon" Sims, age 8, arrives in Night Vale. His cousin, Carlos (who is a scientist), is now his legal guardian.)

Summary
“Listeners, I’m sure you were wondering how my ‘totally platonic date’ with Carlos went last night. You know I’m not one to get personal on the radio, but it was actually really productive! We met up, he brought his cousin Jon- oh listeners, Jon is just the CUTEST little Avatar of the Beholding I have EVER seen! It appears that the Fear Gods have returned to Night Vale- or at least, they are testing the waters. Let’s give Jon and his patron a warm welcome by telling him all of our most traumatizing experiences so that they can remain properly fed and don’t take our Statements by force!
Now, onto the weather.”
(Night Vale welcomes Jon, Avatar of the Beholding, and promises to keep him fed. This goes into how Carlos and his scientists, plus the Secret Police, react to his feeding habits- with some commentary from Cecil, the community radio host.)

Dana Cardinal's Confusing Encounters With An All-Knowing Child (And One Time It All Made Sense) by Leopard_Gecko_King

Summary
Dana did not consider herself to be particularly special among her peers. Sure, she had an understanding of others and natural grit and determination, but plenty of people had those traits among others. She did not think poorly of herself- she knew what she was worth- but she did consider herself not noticeably different from the rest of Night Vale.
So why does Jon, local child and Avatar of the All-Knowing Fear God 'The Beholding', keep appearing to ask her about her opinion on politics? She isn't even a political science major!

Re-Education by Leopard_Gecko_King
Fandoms: Welcome to Night Vale, The Magnus Archives (Podcast)
16 Jul 2026

Summary
After its own failure to deal with Strex Corp and the reliance on an army from a Desert Otherworld and vigilantes, the City Council and the Sheriff’s Secret Police were… overcompensating, some may say. They were enforcing rules more harshly than before, desperately attempting to recreate their image in the face of people who (they perceived) doubted them.
For many, this changed nothing. The Sheriff’s Secret Police never pretended to be soft, and the increased harshness simply meant that if you did do something wrong, punishments worsened. But for some- say, those who had a patron that the Secret Police feared pissing off- the city’s increased need to assert their dominance caused a previous-docile acquaintance to suddenly turn on them.

Summary
There is a fog on the outskirts of Night Vale. Now, fog can happen in deserts, but rarely during the summer, and definitely not concentrated over the remains of the totally-never-existent Night Vale Harbor and Waterfront Recreation Area. Carlos, the scientist he is, goes to investigate, bringing along his son, Jon.
They weren't expecting to find another Avatar in the fog, let alone one around Jon's age.
