I have wanted to know you, lover of books (1463 words) by @purlturtle Chapters: 1/1 Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Summary: Honestly I love the "I didn't know where else to go" trope, and this morning I had an undeniable inspiration - I've teased vampire!Helena before, but this is a different vampire!Helena. Then again, can there ever be enough vampire!Helenas? No there can't, so here we go. (also available as a podfic!)

Includes background Toltzmann and Erin cluelessly being really gay for Myka.

Dawn of the Dragonborn: Heart of a Hero, Heart of a Predator, Heart of Dovahkiin (8907 words) by @tryingthisfangirlthing Chapters: 5/? Rating: Explicit Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings, Graphic Depictions Of Violence Summary: A vampire. A Dragonborn. Two women, a little in love. Coffee? Mead? Or maybe save the world… M'aiq'a is an investigative agent for the Penitus Oculatus, the Emperor's personal bodyguard, sent to Skyrim to try and figure out what's behind these damned vampire attacks that killed her foster brother.

'Beware of becoming the very thing you despise' has never been more true. Never mind falling for one… But centuries of unlife make for layers of secrets, and trust is hard to come by. The world is running out of time, and they will both have larger roles to play than either of them ever wanted…

Nightmare Warehouse (11709 words) by @anandabrat and @starshipblueberry Chapters: 14/14 Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Summary: Once upon a time, like two weeks ago, starshipblueberry said I’ve got this idea about Nightmare Before Christmas and Bering and Wells, and I said, “That’s a fabulous idea. Can we Good Omens it?” So we wrote in patchwork, one day each trading off. We weren’t supposed to peek. It was supposed to be like Christmas. That didn’t even last a day. We texted each other back and forth for hours. We left each other breadcrumb trails to follow or ignore. We thought we had the ending sorted out like five different times before we actually wrote it.

Transient (38674 words) by @tantedrago Chapters: 14/14 Rating: Mature Warnings: Major Character Death Summary: AU: H.G. Wells wakes up in a house without knowing who she is. Slowly, she realises that people can't see her and don't react to her: Helena is a ghost. The literature professor Myka Bering buys her house. As the American moves in, HG slowly falls in love with her. But there is still this problem with her being dead and unnoticable to other people. But with Miss Bering, something is different.

Aye, Zombie (57793 words) by @ifourmindbeso Chapters: 13/13 Rating: Mature Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Rape/Non-Con Summary: Bering and Wells Zombie AU. Set in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, but in another universe where the Good Friday agreement never happened. What if Myka was the former villain? This is the result of a particularly vivid dream of mine, which may or may not have been aided by large doses of (prescribed) painkillers. So if it reads like a bad trip…that’s why. Trigger warnings for pretty much everything you can imagine - violence, assault. Also, lots of swearing.

What Goes Around Comes Around (That Halloween Story) (61467 words) by @purlturtle Chapters: 13/13 Rating: General Audiences Summary: Myka rolled her eyes at him – but she couldn’t be mad at him for long. Steve was way too good a friend to begrudge a bit of teasing. “Shut up,” she said, but her heart wasn’t in it. “You did save the damsel in distress. And her baby.” “Shut up,” Myka repeated, this time with a bit more oomph behind it. “There are worse meet-cutes, you know. Wait till Claudia hears of this; she’ll heart-eye all over it.” “Shut up!” Myka laughed.

The Courtship of Christina's Mother (73987 words) by @jdaydreamer3 Chapters: 5/5 Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Summary: Myka Bering is content with her life as it is. A well-respected architect of a flourishing business. She doesn't have time for love. Or so she thought.

Myka, Pete and Helena have been reunited for their first mission in some time. Tension is a little high as the artifact chase has them following a familiar traveling carnival that has desires of its own with horrible consequences.

Death, or something like it (104700 words) by @ifourmindbeso Chapters: 26/26 Rating: Mature Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Summary: Sheriff Myka Bering lives in a small town in Mississippi. Children are dying in the most horrible way possible, and she has no idea why - until she meets the vampire. The vampire who senses something different about Myka. Suddenly, nothing in Myka's life makes sense, and she faces a battle to save her town from a wave of darkness - from both within and without.

toto and lewis

“i’m dying for the day we get in the car and we don’t have bouncing. (…) i drove last year’s car last week and it was a dream!”

Overly niche meme because I'm watching Sanctuary

(See reblogs for the W13 addition)

just something i picked up on during my 38294723948th rewatch of warehouse 13

remember when myka gets stuck in lewis carrol's mirror and then alice goes around causing problems in myka's image?

one of the first things alice does is go to the bnb and grab something sweet to eat, i think it was a pastry or a cake or something. this should've been a red flag for everyone there because at some point before this, myka said she doesn't eat sugar!!!!

YOU CANT FOOL ME ALICE I REMEMBER ALL THE LITTLE DETAILS ABOUT MY BLORBOS

Gentle reminder that fic authors could just tell you in a short, bullet pointed list what happens in the story playing out in their heads and we could all go to bed unsatisfied.

OR, and hear me out I know it’s crazy, you could give them the time and space and a sprinkle of fucking faith that they will explain it all out in beautiful detail so we could all collectively weep and clap together at curtains close.

Brainstorming for DCU/Warehouse 13 crossover: Following in Their Footsteps

:readmore:

Jack and Janet Drake were both secretly Warehouse 13 agents for years, even before Tim was born. The two met and fell in love while working at the Warehouse. Both worked under Artie and Mrs. Frederic, and both were witnesses to McPhearson's betrayal. Both Janet and Jack were gone for several years before Pete and Myka joined.

Jack joined as an archaeologist with a "vibe" for identifying artifacts. He could look around a room and zero in on a potential artifact. He wouldn't know what it could do, but he would sense it wasn't just a normal object.

Janet was recruited out of the CIA, and was often assigned to high-risk missions to retrieve artifacts from dangerous locations/people/situations. She was "the muscle" when it came to these kinds of retrievals. She was also trained in covert ops, and was an expert in going undercover to retrieve artifacts.

After Jack and Janet got married and had Tim, the pair attempted to semi-retire while raising their son. They settled in Gotham City so that while they were raising Tim, they could still do some work for the Warehouse because Gotham was a magnet/genesis spot for artifacts. They developed a business in the city as collectors/traders of rare antiquities, which was all just a cover to buy up artifacts and ship them to the Warehouse.

However, when McPhearson betrayed Artie and there was no one else but Artie to run the Warehouse and collect artifacts, Jack and Janet reluctantly decided to return to active duty once Tim was old enough to go to boarding school. These were the "archaeological trips" Jack and Janet went on together.

Jack and Janet wanted to bring Tim to South Dakota with them to live in Univille while they worked at the Warehouse, but the Regents would not allow their child to be in close proximity to the location. Children were often a magnet to artifacts and vice verse. There was a strict rule that no one under the age of 18 would be allowed in the Warehouse to prevent artifact shenanigans.

When Tim joins the Warehouse, he is actually the fifth generation of his family tree intertwined with the Warehouse. His father, Jack Drake, is the biological child of agents Jack Secord and Rebecca St. Clair. Rebecca's father, Timothy St. Clair was both an agent and supervisor (Artie's role) of the Warehouse, from 1920s-1940s. Timothy St. Clair's mother was Beatrice Kelly, who was the "caretaker" (Mrs. Frederic's role) of Warehouse 12 before it was decomissioned.

Unknown to everyone except Mrs. Frederic (and maybe Janet Drake back in the day), Alfred Pennyworth is actually one of the Regents. He is a Regent specifically with focus/expertise on the Gotham City region. He actually encouraged the creation of Bruce's "Trophy Hall" in the Batcave, so that he could subtly collect artifacts/potential artifacts from Batman's cases and then forward them to Jack and Janet to get them relocated to Warehouse 13. Only Janet would've known Alfred's identy as a Regent. Her security clearance as a CIA agent gave her privilege to have this knowledge.

Since Jack and Janet's deaths, the reason things have been crazier in Gotham is because the artifacts have been gathering and building up within the city, attaching themselves to people/areas/Rogues/heroes, and sometimes causing mischief.

My first fandom boop offering, not quite a meme but a fanfic:

1k, G, no warnings, fluff and humor

Summary: Claudia touches something she shouldn't have. Hilarity ensues.

For @purlturtle @viharistenno and I'm sure other ppl must have voted for Warehouse but with you I'm like 99% sure of your vote xD

Here's the poll for what I should do next

Looks like GOmens and Star Trek are strong contenders at the moment!

GOmens was actually just in the lead of W13 when I started writing the fic, but a) W13 Had been in the lead before that and b) GOmens was a bit disqualified anyway due to 2 blogs in the fandom reblogging the post beforehand... But I think now it's in the lead for realsies so I'll try to think of something!

Anyway, here's my Warehouse tag list, lmk if you want on/off it: @lavendelhummel @jesstrel @viharistenno @adhdannieedison @lesbianlovelife @tryingthisfangirlthing @tunsun44 @wibblywobblyida lmk if you want on/off the list!

AS ALWAYS, the only interesting thing about this race is lewis hunting

I'm gonna be honest with you, the way the Merc have been hyping up 2023 and W14 is giving me major anxiety ngl.

Mercedes on the decline and Liverpool FC following I’d do anything not to care about sports 😂

MERCEDES ARE NOT ON THE DECLINE! IT WAS A BLIP! A BLIP!

SUMMARY:

All his life, Timothy Drake thought his parents, Jack and Janet Drake, were just archaeologists. Their work was important and had them travelling all around the world. However, they could never take him along on their excavations. They always told him one day they would, once he was older. They promised to show him their world.

One day...

Years after their deaths...

Their world found him...

(Alt version of BruceQuest and beyond where instead of just being kidnapped by the League of Assassins and being offered resources from Ra's al Ghul, Tim crosses paths with Warehouse 13 agents and gets invited to join their ranks. Fusion of Red Robin comics storylines + Warehouse 13 post-season 2/re-write of season 3)
