sydcarmy fics im loving before canon s5 breaks all of our sydcarmy hearts 💔💔
1. The Original Break of Chicagoland by Emma_Swan3
A brutal storm hits Chicago, trapping Carmy and Sydney alone inside the restaurant. In the pitch black, they’re left to argue, fight to save the kitchen, and navigate a lot of high-voltage tension. Their only guide to everything is a janky circuit board covered in layers of duct tape and a dead man's chaotic handwriting.
2. Did you call me baby? by imenawriting
5 times Carmy calls Sydney "baby" + 1 time she confronts him about it.
OR
Carmy and Sydney sitting in a tree, one day Carmy starts calling her baby.
3. the law of threefold return by puzzlepuppy
So I know this sounds fake but I don’t really care. I found this spell in an old book I checked out while I was in Andorra. It was of course in Catalan but I translated it. I said the words aloud and thought of who I’d wanna use it on and suddenly when I get back home my best friend is all over me. I don’t know how exactly it happened but it’s what I wanted so I’m fine with it. Don’t bother with the ethics, that’s not why I posted this. I just wanted to share the translation so here it is:
Think of love. Think of a love so great it cannot be broken. Picture a face. They are tied to you, now and forevermore. Devoted in a way you have never known. May nothing but the truth and pain of heartbreak sever it.
If anyone tries it, let me know what happens!
**********
bored and unassuming, sydney accidentally casts a love spell on her business partner.
4. bad for business by hotelfoxtrot
Carmy ran warm. She saw him strip himself of his woolen jacket and brave Midwestern cold with bare arms and miraculously be without any goosebumps more times than she could count. He surely didn’t need the fuzzy packets of warmth, but he had them. Undoubtedly, he had them for her. Sydney would complain about her constant cold fingers and dry knuckles often, she shouldn’t have been surprised Carmy wasn’t just listening but cataloging the facts about her into some place in his brain. And yet—
It made her ache, to be thought of like that.
Or, when Carmy and Sydney finally start dating, everyone knows. Everyone, that is, except for Sydney.
enjoy!

new chapter is up!!! give it a read if you cann
need a sydcarmy fic where carmy is kinda still working at the bear but inbetween sous chef and the beef window, but with two stars they have even more reservations and syd needs a new sous chef so we see carm spiraling over syd interviewing weirdly very funny and good looking sous chefs that want the attention of genius chef sydney adamu
STATE OF FLUX [READ HERE] Chapter 10 - Carmy's Birthday
Syd and Carmy host a dinner for Carmy's birthday and Emmanuel is give the okay to return to his own home leaving the newlyweds alone again.
do you have any fic recs for the bear? 👀
hi friend !!! i'm sorry for taking so long but yes, of course i do >:-) it's my first time recommending fics like this so i'm nervous ?!?!? some things to consider: 1. english isn't my first language. idk if that changes anything 2. i only started reading sydcarmy on ao3 like, a month ago lol which is kind of embarrassing considering the amount of works i'm about to list 3. most of these are explicit 4. i fucking love a slow burn
fireproof (2.5k) : "s1 just hot as hell" -my notes
Talking Bodies (7.9k): so well written, slightly angsty and dark, really cool images. really hot!
five times a simmer; once boiling over (7k): set after s1, tension and sweetness. real heat, chef.
a curious token (would the talkers be talking?) (4.1k): richie's pov! so fun! really cute!!!
bad for business (31.4k): lighthearted and fun and silly ! i really like how the author weaves sydney's story with her parents'.
Fundamentals for the Fun and Mental (70.6k): post season 2. changed my life forever. ruined my sleep schedule. probably my favorite sydcarmy fic of all. idek what to say. it's just a good ass fucking slow burn. i feel like this fic/author really understands the show and the characters. love love love. cannot recommend this one enough. plus i love a good carmy pov.
how will i know? (97.2k): this one is intense! no spoilers but like, it actually made me tear up at one point lol sooo much happens but it's really cool to see how their relationship evolves (through passion and creativity?) to something deeper and more honest. it's set after s3 so it's kinda what we're hoping for lol. really sweet story, overall.
Rules For (fake) Dating an Italian (99.6k): so. much. FUN. also ruined my sleep schedule, couldn't stop reading. the tension, the dynamic between characters, the pacing, AMAZING DIALOGUE, which makes or breaks a fic for me. i feel like it's hard to nail a good sydney pov but this one is incredible. the chapter from carmy's pov is also really good, really carmy. it's just so well done, so well written, so many sweet and silly moments. it's an AU of sorts? which also makes it stand out! no wonder it's a fandom classic!
that would be all! heheh happy reading and definitely let me know what you think ! <3
almost perfect | sydcarmy | m
It’s his eyes she’s picturing when her fingers sneak under her waistband of their own volition. She’s already wet, warm and wanting, more than the wine can explain away. Every last vestige of her better judgment that hasn’t yet drowned blares at her that this is a terrible idea, but it feels so fucking good, pleasure fizzing like Pop Rocks down her spine. She stifles a sound at the contact against the sensitive tip of her clit, but some of it must bleed through because Carmy pauses. “Syd? You alright?” “Yeah, all good. You were - you were saying.” The first time she did this was the day she quit. She’d climbed into her childhood bed and folded in on herself, then rutted onto her hand until the replay of him chewing her out was whited out completely and she came with a muffled cry, her pillowcase wet from her mouth and her tears. She’s just so perennially frustrated with him, is the thing. It comes and goes in waves and threatens to take her under, and half the time, she’s inclined to let it, call it mentorship, salt brine lungs. Is it really so bad to work off some of that frustration now? That, at least, he could give her. He wouldn’t even need to know. Only— “Syd. Fuck.” —how much of that did she say out loud?
To anyone who is interested, chapter 3 of We Can't Be Friends has been posted 🙂↕️
Enjoy my fellow Sydcarmies
