Vile Scorpio, by raven_aorla (R)
Fandom: WELCOME TO NIGHT VALE
Pairing: Cecil/Carlos, Cecil/Steve Carlsberg (offscreen assault)
Length: 879 words
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: works on AO3
Warnings: Rape, hurt/comfort
Notes: “Mostly inspired by that time Cecil read the horoscope” (ep. 6, “The Drawbridge”)
Why this must be read:
This is a nasty (though non-explicit) little story with an elegant twist at the end, inspired by two of the horoscopes Cecil reads in “The Drawbridge”: “Scorpio: Curse you! Curse your family! Curse your children! And your children’s children! Vile, vile Scorpio,” and “Taurus: Today is your annual Crime Day. All Tauruses are exempt from laws today.”
"Is this the first time?"
"No."
Only the fear of giving himself tendonitis in a town with horrific healthcare made Carlos keep a normal grip on the steering wheel rather than act like it was Steve's neck he was squeezing. "How often?"
"Every year."
