#anandabrat

my @b-and-w-holiday-gift-exchange fic for @anandabrat: Helena is a fame-hating bestselling author of a novel that is going to be made into a film, Myka is an up and coming actress... Can they get over their differences and find a way to be together?

14k words, rated T, no warnings

Here is an illustration I made for the Bering And Wells Big Bang for the 13th anniversary, it's a cover art for the amazing story by @anandabrat (beta'd by @madronash) you can read it here : the Remington Standard #2

summary : It’s 1997, and when a quiet teenager in a book shop finds an old typewriter with the previous owner’s name and address inside, she writes a letter. When the previous owner writes back, she takes the 1881 date in stride, and two kids start to fall for each other. This story isn’t an AU so much as an epistolary reboot, letting Helena and Myka flirt, chafe against the people who underestimate them, become adults, and ultimately find a way to the Warehouse (together!) without MacPherson or Paris as catalysts. The only obstacle in their path is time, and we all know that’s no match for Myka Bering or Helena Wells.

Hey everyone! The Big Bang teams are working hard on their stories and artworks, and this week I'm gonna tease what's coming, with a short summary for every story, one per day!

Coming in on April 17 are @anandabrat (writer), @madronash (beta) and @ninth-on-eight (artist), with this:

Doesn't that sound amazing? Starting us off with a fresh take not just on the story itself but on storytelling in general, with the epistolary format! Don't know about you, but I can't wait!

(Teaser for story #1)

Today I'm gonna tease you with the story that'll go up on April 20th, by @madronash (writer), @rinari7 (beta), @anandabrat (helper/second beta), and @elle-arts (artist)! Here's what they've cooked up for us:

The Hanged Man: Myka and Claudia set off for Cornwall to investigate some mysterious disappearances, Helena's orb in tow. When Helena finds a wicked pack of cards, she and Myka don't expect to get sucked into another world… a world created by another woman unappreciated in her time, and designed to challenge their assumptions about their own. This story uses the multi-layered symbolism of Tarot and combines it with a sharp critique of how symbols are created, who they’re for, and how to embrace them without becoming lost in the process. Follow Helena and Myka as they traverse a strange landscape, discover each other anew, encounter familiar characters in ways they’ve never seen before, and ultimately carve their way towards a future together.

Listen, I have no idea about the whole concept of Tarot, but I'm excited to read this and not just enjoy an awesome Bering and Wells story but learn something in the process!

(Teaser for story #1) (Teaser for story #2)

Hey, this one is mine (@purlturtle)! 😅 Collaborating with @anandabrat (beta) and @galactic-pirates (artist), this is what we're bringing you on April 21:

When Myka Bering goes looking for Helena Wells, she isn’t expecting to find Emily Lake, and she definitely isn’t expecting to find Emily Lake pregnant – but this is a story about the unexpected. This is a story about letting yourself say yes to the situation you find yourself in, even if it’s where you never expected to be, and how the rest falls into place when you allow yourself to do that. It’s also a story about time travel and friendship, old flames and new love, and magic cottages and pb&p (pear) sandwiches. And of not just one unexpected baby, but two of them - for a given value of "baby", anyway.

I've been wanting to tell this story for a long time, and the Big Bang was just the occasion to go and do it! I hope you'll like it just as much as I do!
