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."

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).

Found (8121 words) by @purlturtle (under the pseud NuMo) Chapters: 3/3 Fandom: Warehouse 13 Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Myka Bering/Helena "H. G." Wells Characters: Myka Bering, Helena "H. G." Wells Additional Tags: Bering And Wells The Pandemic Remix, Angst And Pain More Like Hurt And Comfort, Mention of cancer, mention of chemo, mention of miscarriage, mention of depression, mention of hugs and kisses because I take the 'comfort' part seriously, also Happy New Year, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, POV Alternating Summary: So 2020 has been a shit-show - not just because of the pandemic, but that played a massive part. Here's a little exploration of what Bering and Wells might look like in present times, without the Warehouse but with burdens of their own to carry. Just a little thing that I thought of yesterday and wrote today; bear with me if it seems hurried.

Please tell us why you like this fic so much!

It's such a bitter-sweet, hopeful little story about two broken people finding each other in extreme circumstances. I love how so much is left unsaid, because it's unnecessary to the story being told.

Moscow (5497 words) by @purlturtle (under the pseud NuMo) Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Warehouse 13 Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Myka Bering/Helena "H. G." Wells Characters: Myka Bering, Helena "H. G." Wells, Artie Nielsen, Pete Lattimer Additional Tags: Pre-Slash, Canon Compliant, Episode Tag, s2e09 Vendetta, Moscow, Missing Scene Summary: In which a freezing H.G. Wells is thrust, artifact and all, into the surprised if responsible hands of Myka Bering, and Artie is unavailable for information, and Pete can't really help either. So Myka does what she always does and figures it out, only to realize that at the end of it, she'll have even more to figure out than before.

Please tell us why you like this fic so much!

I'm not sure I've ever read another between the scenes of this particular moment, and it's so good. The characterizations are spot on and I feel like it explains the change in tone between the two of them in that episode so well!
