severance fanfic recs pt 2!
it's been a couple months since I last posted some severance fanfic recs and I wanted to do so again featuring new fics / linking to fics that were unfinished when I last referenced them but are now finished! (I am also re-rec-ing a few of my own, because, lol) if your fic is not on the non-exhaustive list i create, reblog and promote your work!! or work you love!!! for a fic writer I'm surprisingly behind on my reading so I know I'm behind on some incredible works!
(a polite note: if you read a fic you loved because you found it on this list, comment on the piece and share the love!! writers can't know how much you liked their piece unless you tell them!!!)

Orpheus guides Eurydice out first. OR: AU where Lumon is less competent than usual and Mark S. saves Ms. Casey.
Bad News About Helly - AdotNonymous, 30k (unfinished), helena & helly, helly & mark, T
Helly wakes up on the table with no memory of how she got there or who she is. However, there’s one thing she is certain of: no matter what the voice on the speaker tells her, she is a woman. A trans Helly fic.
ascend and try again - me!, 3.1k, gemma & mark s. & gemmark, G
“We both really fucked it up, didn’t we?” If this was Mark, he would’ve started to interrupt. It’s not Mark, so she continues. It’s not him but she can pretend, with her body against his and her eyes on her hands.

Mark S punches Dylan G in the face.

Devon is the maid of honor. Don’t you have sisters of your own? Devon had joked. I want you there, Gemma had said. Or: things that never happened.
Knife At My Throat- @gemmafuckingscout, 29k, gemhelena, E
A year after the season 2 finale, Helena and Gemma are still picking up the pieces of their life. But when Gemma unknowingly matches with Helena on a dating app, things couldn’t possibly end well.
it's rotten work - fauchevalent, 3.1k, gemdev, NR
Gemma sighs. “You should sit down,” she says, and Devon feels her heart drop into her stomach. Still, she steps further into the bedroom, parks herself on the corner of Gemma’s mattress. Gemma sits up a little more, adjusts the pillow at her back, and aims a serious look in Devon’s direction.
i never sought to love you - me! 12k (unfinished), gemhelena & gemmark, M
Pre-canon, the fall before Gemma's disappearance - a year after their last IVF treatment, Gemma decides to pop into a local perinatal loss support group on a whim. There she meets Helly Riggs, a beautiful and equally awkward outsider who listens to her and sees her in a way Mark hasn't in a long time. Helena's motive for meeting Gemma becomes complicated as she wrestles with her duty to Lumon and her father vs. her first sincerely intimate relationship.
[r|egress] - @argentnoelle, 1.8k, gemmark, NR
Before and after Gemma's death. Or: Mark Scout goes shopping.
A Black Mile to the Surface - @actual-lea, 56k (unfinished), mark & mark, markhelly
Mark found Gemma, and together, they escaped. So why does he wake up without her, trapped inside Lumon? And why is there a voice in his head that sounds suspiciously like his own?

the ending of cold harbor, take 3.
