Bering and Wells Fanfic Appreciation Blog

This fandom has so many incredible fics; this blog is meant to celebrate them and make it easier to find and share them! Aiming for one post per week on Saturdays; please submit your fics via the pinned post to keep the ball rolling!

[fuckyeah-beringandwellsfics]

List of already submitted fics, the second

I've made a Gdocs spreadsheet of all submitted fics, including timestamps of when they were posted here, if you want to see them all in one place:

Spreadsheet

I've also switched posting these from Saturdays to Sundays, but honestly, I think Saturday (or even Friday evening) is better, because then y'all can open the link to read the fic on the weekend? Let me know your thoughts!

Summary:

Myka huffed. “I’m a journalist and a visitor, you know I can’t get involved in anything illegal.” “You are going to wait on the sidelines of the revolution for your journalistic ethics?” Helena was leaning towards her now, eyes sparkling a challenge. “Helena.” Myka was trying not to smile back. OR Journalist Myka Bering meets Helena Wells in Santiago, Chile in March of 1973 as they both try to find their way towards revolution.

Submitter's comments:

A fabulously well thought out historical AU. This version of Myka and Helena fit perfectly into the world the author has set them in, and the ending plays rent free in my head at least twice a month!

Submitted by anonymous (via @fuckyeah-beringandwellsfics)

Submitter's comments:

I think it's among my favourite in-universe-but-post-canon fics. It's about Helena having to cope with the Berings, and Myka having to cope with Helena coping with the Berings. And it has a bit where Tracey accuses Myka of hiring an actress to pretend to be her girlfriend, because Helena seems too perfect.

It's a very thorough exploration of why Helena was in Boone and not in Univille, and how she finds her way back. It's so beautifully written, so very poignant, and one of my favorite Instinct fix-its.

First of all I'm in love with post-canon fics and this one is just brilliant. Secondly, the style and characterization is perfect and I love how delicate and emotional this story is.

all i want for 2026 is that gigantic rancid AI bubble to finally burst in such a catastrophic way that the consequences will be so good and i'll never have to see another AI generated image ever again

[hellpotter]

it’s not weird to find fanfiction from 2021, or 2017, or 2014 that you’ve never read and actually taking your time to read it.

it’s not weird to love it and comment and leave kudos because the author will probably still see it someday and it will make them happy.

it’s not weird to like said author’s work so much that you want to go look for other fics from them.

it’s not weird to go through the authors profile and look for other fics from the ships you like (or maybe some that you’ll give a chance because you liked the author) and maybe bookmark them for later.

it’s not weird to read these other fics and like them too and comment on them because you actually like them and you want to let the author know.

it’s not weird to read fanfiction from 5, or 8, or 10 years ago and actually enjoy and engage with it because it’s perfectly normal to relate to something that’s less than a decade old!

let’s stop treating fanfiction like they’re instagram posts that stop being interesting in 24 hours! fanfiction is NOT social media, fanfiction is art!!! and art doesn’t get old in one day, one year, or even a decade!

read fanfiction! write fanfiction! comment on fanfiction! let’s not let fanculture die people!!!!!

[starrybouquet]

When AO3 goes down for maintenance, I always take it as an opportunity to read some of the fic I have saved from the Wayback Machine, fanfiction.net, etc.

But today, I was thinking that people might not know how to *find* quality fic on those sites, even if they want to.

So in that vein: would folks be interested if I wrote tutorials on how I go about finding (good) fic on the Wayback Machine/FFN/LJ/etc?

should I make tutorials on how to find fic on older, non-AO3 sites

yes, this would be helpful

no, this would be a waste of your time

Voting ended onJan 27

please reblog so i can figure out if this would be helpful to folks!

1k words, rated G, fluff, dancing

Something a little Ginger and Fred, takes place early in Helena's reinstatement.

A Soul To Sacrifice by @purlturtle

1k words, rated T, fix-it

"On your quest for revenge, people often said to you, 'Killing him wouldn’t bring her back.' The thing is, you found a way to resurrect her perfectly. You just need a soul to sacrifice, so might as well get the one who killed your loved one."

I have wanted to know you, lover of books by @purlturtle

1k, rated M Werewolf and Vampire AU

Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, pregnancy loss, hurt, gore

A different vampire!Helena.

Airport by @birdofdawning

2k rated G, post-canon, slice of life

Helena finds herself waiting at an airport with a nine-year-old Child that won't stop talking (just like its father).

Surprise Tomatoes by @purlturtle

3k, rated G, Grief/Mourning, pandemic mention, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting

You don't have a green thumb, but you decide to try one last time to grow a plant - and promptly forget about it. You step outside and nearly faint from shock when you see the healthiest plants you've ever seen. And then you get hit by a squirt from your neighbor's water gun.

Secrets of a Haunted House by lilolilyrae

4k T, Established Relationship, Case Fic

Myka goes on a supposedly easy artifact retrieval in a house in the suburbs with Helena. She won’t believe Claudia’s theory about a ghost being involved, no matter how much it seems like they are stuck in a haunted house! Claudia, Helena and Pete have watched too many horror movies, that’s all. Myka is sure of it.

Or: can you snag, bag and tag a ghost?

Sometimes dæmons change by @purlturtle

5k rated G, His Dark Materials AU, Daemons, starts before episodes Buried/Reset

From there, I came to the conclusion that Helena's dæmon would change with both Christina's death and her bronzing, and then I wondered how the Janus Coin would affect someone with a dæmon. And here's the result! I've thrown in a Claudia whose dæmon, despite Claudia being over twenty, hasn't settled yet - it just felt right to me.

Christmas in Clement by @birdofdawning

9k rated G, Christmas Romcom AU

Workaholic Myka Bering and superior Helena Wells are the jilted other people in a Christmas romcom who meet trying to catch the first flight out of the quaint little town of Clement. However, escaping other people's Christmas romances will not be that easy.

Fake Married in May by lilolilyrae

10k T, Pining, Case fic, Artifact Shenanigans

Myka is sent on an undercover assignment: she has to pretend to be married to Helena, living in a small town in the middle of nowhere as they search for the artifact causing havoc in the area.

Curiously Cozy by @amtrak12

10k G, canon-divergence post S3, Pre-Relationship, Introspection

When given the chance to look through Emily Lake’s belongings, Helena discovers a wide collection of cozy mystery novels. She’s initially skeptical of them — the titles use puns and there are far too many cats featured on the covers — but then the books turn out to be a useful distraction while the Regents debate her fate. They even inspire Helena to explore a new avenue that helps her work through her conflicted emotions.

Or: Helena discovers cozy mysteries and — slowly — learns to heal after Season 3.

Appeal by @purlturtle

10k, rated T, Alternative Universe - Opera

"Leading tenor died? Then appeal to the audience for any student of music who knew the part, and give him his big chance while his predecessor's body cooled gently in the wings."

Lucifer's Servant by lilolilyrae

17k, rated T, Pre-Relationship, Alternative Universe, Alien Helena, Photographer Myka

Myka and Claudia visit Leena in Scotland, where she has recently moved into an old castle. Part of the lands she has inherited is an abandoned abbey, where they find a strange figure that will bring Myka back in contact with someone she would love to meet with more often...

Thank You For The Music @lavendelhummel

26k, rated T, post-canon, fix-it

Helena likes singing ABBA lovesongs to Myka. Post-series, post-marriage, post-working through everything, she does so at breakfast. Certain witnesses to that occurrence call for a Mamma Mia movie night. But they are still associated to the Warehouse… and the Warehouse tries its hand at ABBA-meddling (pun intended).

☃️ Winter❄️Christmas🎄Bering and Wells🕯️fic rec list!

Just in time for the longest night of the year, the last nights of Hanukkah, and upcoming Christmas, here's a Bering and Wells fic rec list with stories that center around snow, winter, Christmas, and other festivities of the season (mostly Christmas, honestly). It's not exhaustive - if your favorite is not among the recs in here, add it in a reblog or reply to increase the cheer!

(as always, remember that you can submit fics to be featured here, too; Christmas-y or otherwise! Here's the link to the submission form (Google Form)!)

First, let's have a collection of @apparitionism's stories - again, this might not be exhaustive, because it's based on submissions.

Sacrifice (2014, 13,309 words): reccer's comment: "the first [Christmas story] that comes to mind is apparitionism's version of that Christmas episode where Pete is the only one to remember everything, and Myka and HG meet in a bar..."

Sugar (2019, 15,388 words): recced without comment, so here's the AO3 summary: This was initially intended as a sweet little artifact-driven adventure, but the idea that it should contain “longing” sent me in a fixit direction. Nevertheless, the title should make clear that there’ll be no holding back on glucose, fructose, or any other –oses. The holiday season’s for indulging, right?

Secret/Santa series (2020, 14,452 words together): reccer's comment: "a really nice one in which Helena fixes stuff"

Hark (2021, 19,334 words): reccer's comment: "This one starts out spikey, and Helena and Myka are doing each other no favors, but ends in a tour of Anglo-American Christmas music traditions, like a many moods of Christmas holiday show. And along the way there is lovable banter between the Warehouse crew and they get to deal with some post traumatic stress instead of adding to it! It says something real about relationships while being deeply silly."

Adventitious (2022; 18,441 words): reccer's comment: "Delightful banter and the uniquely human and Warehouse-y absurdity apparitionism captures so well. And excellent pining."

Next, I would be remiss not to mention our 2023 Advent Calendar Collab "Never Fall For Your Flatmate":

... in which Helena Wells moves into a shared apartment with, among others, Myka Bering - and you'll never guess what happens. 25 little fics, one for each day on the way to Christmas plus one bonus for Christmas Day, each written by a different author: @lilolilyr, @lavendelhummel, @purlturtle, @viharistenno, @jesstrel, @sallysetonbw, @violetren, @thiaptarmigan, @rinari7, and SlothEnby who afaik isn't on Tumblr!

More recs from the Google form:

Tidings of Comfort and Joy, by @granger4013 (3,055 words): reccer's comment: "I think it's very sweet, even if 9am is certainly too early for Christmas dinner"

Christmas in the Middle of Nowhere, also by @granger4013 (12,671 words): reccer's comment: "Myka has a dog. That dog is car-sick. Helena is a vet. It is Christmas Eve."

Christmas on Ganymede, by @birdofdawning (4,674 words): reccer's comment: "An adorable, fluffy Christmas-themed sci-fi AU, this was the first Warehouse fic I ever read, and it's still one of my favorites. Love all the little details, little nods to canon expertly tweaked for the AU setting, as well as perfect flirty banter between our two leading ladies!" - recced by @incompletesong, thank you!!

Christmas in Clement, also by @birdofdawning (9,385 words): reccer's comment: "Lovely rom-com tropiness that feels more realistic than most. Sympathy for the "jilted lovers," especially since Myka and Helena are such, and it feels entirely in-character for them. And quiet, artful chemistry between Bering and Wells, of course."

Drive Me Home, by @racethewind10 (2,224 words): reccer's comment: "Just a sweet meditation on what the warehouse could look like if they all live and Myka and Helena end up together"

And finally, Christmas/winter fics that have been recommended on this blog before:

And the truth will set you free… (11787 words) by @ifourmindbeso reccer's comment: "hahhahahha I can't stop chuckling, oh Myka. An artifact forcing them together, a classic warehouse move!"

The Thought That Counts (802 words) by @itsophelia reccer's comment: "Hahaha! and Aww Helena! She is still catching up with those 100 years and it's adorable"

Helena (6669 words) by @apparitionism reccer's comment: "It seems silly at first glance but is not only that actually. Vulnerability and taking their relationship to a next level? And still funny but soft. Very beautiful!"

As always (can't have too many reminders, really), remember that you can submit fics to be featured here, too; Christmas-y or otherwise! Here's the link to the submission form (Google Form)!
