Summary
Prince Cecil of Night Vale sets off on a journey into a Desert Otherworld to find his missing lover, who disappeared into thin air a year ago. He instead finds himself with his enthusiastically bloodstained counterpart from a rival kingdom, a Prophecy foretelling their doom at each other's hands, fragmented glimpses of the past and future, and increasingly concerning clues about what, exactly happened to Carlos the Alchemist.
...when he finds Carlos and brings him home, he is dragging him to bed to take a nice, long nap.

Summary
Carlos is pretty sure that this should be weird. So far it's just been Carlos and Cecil, or Carlos and Kevin, but it had never been all three of them like this. Tonight was supposed to be Carlos and Kevin, but when Cecil had gotten home and saw them making out on the couch he had ordered them into the bedroom… and then he had followed.
He wouldn't pretend that some of his fantasies hadn't gone down a similar vein, but it wasn't something any of them had discussed. This was his first time doing anything more than kissing Kevin, and Cecil was right there, watching and whispering all the things that would help Kevin take Carlos apart.

Summary
Temporal displacements at the radio station were nothing special. Interns saw their dead siblings, or parents, or pets all the time. Sometimes you could faintly hear a conversation down the hallway that happened years ago—or hadn't happened at all.
Kevin's broadcasting equipment was old, and therefore more predisposed to such phenomena, so when it once again started giving him feedback from other times, he was not worried.
"Sorry, listeners! Oh! This wire looks a little loose—I'll just wiggle it a bit…" Kevin says, doing exactly as she narrates. The wire shifts, and suddenly there's another voice.

Summary
Cecil was holed up inside the station, hoping Carlos was safe at their home. Hy felt an endless pit of dread in his stomach, completely unrelated to hys worries for Carlos; Carlos was a scientist, and a scientist was always fine.
Hys dread was not the government mandated kind, Cecil decided. Something was coming. Cecil wasn't sure that was a good thing right now. The last sandstorm in Night Vale had brought Kevin, and something about this one felt… Worse.
Cecil felt a little nauseous.
------
or; a second sandstorm in Night Vale brings a familiar face—only he's not the same as cecil remembered.day two - “you’ve got a lot of nerve to dredge up all my fears”, prophecy, sewer, taking accountability

Summary
The original Desert Bluffs had turned its back on him. Why shouldn't it? He'd betrayed them and they had no reason to forgive him.
Carlos had turned his back on him. And why shouldn't he? He'd been betrayed as well, and why should Kevin ever be allowed to earn his forgiveness?
But Desert Bluffs Too... that was supposed to have been his fresh start, and even they were bending their will to the whims of Lauren Mallard, and history would just repeat itself as it always did. His past was inescapable. He was doomed to a cycle of abuse and misery, mutilation and torture.
Set after the events of Truth, and Other Misconceptions: Year Three, Kevin tries to find his place in a Desert Bluffs Too that may be about to repeat the mistakes of the past. Sometimes, to wander the desert alone? Enlightenment.... And Kevin is going to need some.
