Secrets of a Haunted House by lilolilyrae

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

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

"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).

“I didn’t sign up for the Warehouse to mess with us like this.”
