severance yuri/femslash fanfic recs

i've been seeing other severance fic rec posts so i'm posting my own! omitting tags to save space so please make sure to check them before reading! fics with an asterisk are ao3 locked <3

The Stone by @whoreiorcats, Gemma/Helena, 19.9k words (in progress), Explicit

Gemma has escaped, but Mark is left behind. She finds herself inexplicably drawn to the very woman who has kept them both prisoner. Lots of food is eaten.

Knife At My Throat by @gemmafuckingscout (me!), Gemma/Helena, 29k words (complete), Explicit

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.

buzzcut season* by @ohwhatagloomyshow, Gemma/Helena, 4.9k words (complete), Explicit

The first thing she does exclusively for herself is buy a pair of clippers with Ricken’s credit card and give herself a buzz cut. Helly R. pushed Mark S. out of the hallway, into the waiting arms of his wife. What does that mean for Gemma? Post S2E10, Gemma tries to come to terms with her new freedom and the family that fell apart without her. That also means coming to terms with Helena Eagan.

i never sought to love you* by @ohwhatagloomyshow, Gemma/Helena, 4.6k words (in progress), Mature

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.

I have considered the lilies by @spareham, Gemma/Devon, 67.8k words (complete), Explicit

Gemma pushed her hands down over her own hips where the fabric hugged them, thanks to the clips at her back, hidden from her view. She'd be lying if she said she'd never dreamed of becoming a bride… just never this kind. So white. Red-less. Her fingers trailed over her stomach, picking at the border, the hem. She couldn’t ride a horse in this. She chuckled to herself, instead. [uh oh! pre-lumon gemdev o clock!]

no grave can hold my body down (i’ll crawl home to her) by fivemillioneyes, Gemma/Devon, 2.2k words (complete), Explicit

This is the only control Devon can give her.

and when you think about me by @sapphichaze, Gemma/Devon, 3.6k words (complete), Teen

“What would you teach?” Gemma asked as she sat down on a chair, gesturing for Devon to sit next to her. She seemed genuinely interested. “Probably, like, how to survive a zombie apocalypse.” Devon sat down. “You know, useful stuff.” “Now who’s the nerd?” Gemma said with a small grin on her lips. Devon shoved their shoulders together, feeling the heat even through the fabric.

Control by @spareham, Gemma/Devon, 1k words (complete), Explicit

Gemma's regaining control, Devon's helping.

it’s april (yes,april;my darling) by @ichabodcranemills, Gemma/Devon, 1.2kwords (complete), General

Gemma and Devon and the perfect spring day

Not on Your Own by @sapphichaze, Ms. Casey/Helly, 1.3k words (complete), General

“You look like you need some help, so, maybe, uh,” Helly squeezes her eyes together, regretting the words almost as soon as they leave her mouth, “I could do a wellness session on you, instead?”

try to remember, try to forget (but you'll never be the same) by Shadowcrawler, Ms. Casey/Helly, 1.6k words (complete), Explicit

Ms. Casey offers to help Helly R. out with something. prompt: Helly R./Ms. Casey, first time, cunnilingus

The Fifth Temper by virtuousweisz, Cobel/Hellyna, Ms. Casey/Helly, 68k words (in progress), Explicit

Harmony Cobel takes an interest in Helly R., whose outie is more than willing to abuse her power in every conceivable way to tame these erratic and debauched behaviours.

Asal by @spareham, Devon/Reghabi, 12.7k words (complete), Explicit

the second s2e6 ends, this lil fic begins. fluffy canon divergence

Cobel/Natalie by @machrealgirl, Cobel/Natalie, 2.8k words (complete), Explicit

Cobel x Natalie hate sex with a side of character study.

[fredoesque]

Devon is the maid of honor. Don’t you have sisters of your own? Devon had joked. I want you there, Gemma had said.

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!

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.

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.

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.

and when you think about me (gemma/devon fanfic)

Day 3 of sapphic severance week, prompt: unrequited

Word count: 3618

Rating: T

Summary:

“What would you teach?” Gemma asked as she sat down on a chair, gesturing for Devon to sit next to her. She seemed genuinely interested.

“Probably, like, how to survive a zombie apocalypse.” Devon sat down. “You know, useful stuff.”

“Now who’s the nerd?” Gemma said with a small grin on her lips. Devon shoved their shoulders together, feeling the heat even through the fabric.

Excerpt:

Devon was in love, and she wasn’t sure what to do with herself.

It started one day when she was visiting Mark at his job. The idiot had forgotten his briefcase at home, and thus the lecture planning for the day. Devon, with a key to his home, was of course the go-to person for him to call to go and get it.

“You should just make your planning digital,” she said, throwing the case on his desk and receiving a panicked yelp from him as his coffee cup almost tumbled to the floor. “Then you wouldn’t need to use me as a pack mule.”

Mark grabbed onto it, putting it in a safer position and smoothing his hands over the top. “You have to admit I look a lot cooler walking around with a briefcase, though.”

“You actually look very stupid, but that’s none of my business.” Devon grinned at him, and he just shook his head.

happy birthday ella!!! <3 what are your thoughts on gemdev, or even juicer, gemdevhelly. do you think they could invent a 3 way scissor

Gemdev is so beautiful to me. It’s really hard to get right because of how close the characters are and how much of a betrayal to someone they both love intensely it seems to be for them to be together, but that makes it all the better, doesn’t it?

If you can thread that in-character needle while making the gemdev of it all actually happen (not just like distant one sided pining, tho that also has its place) then like, I bow my head to you. (Covert ad for @spareham’s gemdevs which make-a-me CRAZY)

They truly need to have like a Lance/Guinevere thing going on. Self-denial for good reasons over the course of years with real love for the third leg of the triangle making it all even more complicated until they all self-implode.

Also I’ve said this before but coveting your brother’s wife, that’s a top tier adultery to me. Shakespearean.

If I were mark and gemdevhelly happened I would kms on the spot fr. No coming back from that. Helly and her two age gap gfs. Life could be dream.

All caught up on severance. Bitches beware, I’m now free to manufacture lesbianism in my mind.
