you give me a feeling that i've never felt before (and i deserve it) - jiarascomfort

the sydcarmy first date fic we didn’t get in s3 but now should get in s4 because I said so.

you'll be there between each line of pain and legacy - anonymous

sydcarmy through the good times and bad.

i wouldn't even want to do this without you - charismaticc

taking place right after the events of season 3. carmen finds sydney in the midst of having her panic attack. this eventually leads to her revealing to carmen that she has until the end of the week to let adam shapiro know if she will take his offer, making it seven days until carmen knows if he will lose sydney.

amaneeeta (@amanitacaplan):

can't wait to get next to you: 5 times carmy and sydney share a bed

do you remember our first date?: 5 times carmy asks sydney out (well, kind of)

when you know, you know - anonymous

"he wanted to say something, but he didn't even know what he wanted to say. they weren't together. but were they? that wasn't even the real problem. the real problem was a ticking time bomb. he wrestled with the thought of it. it was terrifying of course, considering their relationship and jobs, but some part of him felt like he would make it work. he could even imagine it for a second." one stupid mistake led to this.

do you picture me like i picture you? - t3chsavvyy

s2 finale fix-it sick fic where sydcarmy sails as they should

bad for business - hotelfoxtrot

when Carmy and Sydney finally start dating, everyone knows. Everyone, that is, except for Sydney

you are tired (i think) - elkcrossing (@elkscrossing)

at first, sydney assumed it was just stress brought on by a few insane weeks at the bear. she was wrong.

the lost kitchen - itsallhoneys

she locks eyes with him, sensing there’s no turning back now, and how can she deny him when he’s looking at her like that? mouth slightly open, genuinely interested in what she has to say. “there’s this restaurant… in maine?” she adds, the words coming back to her because another millisecond of silence and he would definitely think she was insane. “freedom, maine, to be exact-” “oh shit. erin french, right? the lost kitchen-” he interrupts with the small nod of his head, knowing exactly where this is going. “the postcards.”

umightbinthewrongbusinessrogers (@umightbinthewrongbuisnessrogers):

no salt, just sugar: "one more." "i'm thankful for you." "little old me?" "mhmm. little old you."

i rise with the sun and you: It was a normal day at The Bear but Carmy, the asshole that he is, had to ruin it for her.

cinnamon rolls and beef stew: Carmen and Sydney are each other's peace.

i need you more than i want to: They had talked and were slowly but surely making it so some sort of working relationship that was okay. Might even be good one day. But it was still tense, very tense. In a bad way and maybe, a heated way?

that damn chicken sandwich: You're sick." "Uh-uh, no, I'm not." Carmy tries his hardest to stifle a laugh at how her voice sounds equally weak and defiant. Their shift is over and everyone has gone home. Sydney is perched in the office chair, holding her head in her hands. She's been sweating buckets and taking breaks to breathe, eyes shut tight, all day.

do you not think so far ahead? - cr0wned_jewel

sydney and carmy meet when she's a student at the CIA and he's working as CDC at EMP

sleepless in chicago - shewalksoverme

Now, Sydney sat, rocking, on the L. It surprised her that it was running. One of the stranger things Sydney missed about driving was the radio, so, at times, she would listen via an app. There was a lot of garbage, but sometimes, there’d be a station that was a needle in a haystack. She searched and searched and almost gave up before she heard it - a sweet, little voice on the radio. “Hi, my name’s Sophia,” the voice said. Sydney pushed her airpods further in her ear. The radio host, a lady, a supposed doctor, replied. “Hi Sophia, how old are you, sweetheart?” “Seven.” Sydney put her hand on her chest. She was so stinking cute. “What’s the matter, Sophia?” “It’s my uncle. My Uncle Bear. He’s really sad. I think he needs a friend. Or a girlfriend.”

all this nothing (has meant more to me than so many somethings) - turbulenthandholding (@turbulenthandholding)

Post-season 3 You've Got Mail-inspired Advent Fic. With a good enough review, Jimmy gave them until the end of the year to save The Bear; Carmy and Syd have one month left to manage it. Carmy turns to Reddit for advice and makes a new friend.

only_one_brain_cell (@only-one-brain-cell):

sydney's party (and carmy's): Sydney and Carmy have two very different ideas how they went to spend New Year’s Eve.

chicago: Carmy and Sydney are struggling to keep their relationship a secret during the holidays. Especially when Carmy is invited to his mother’s, refuses at first but agrees on one condition: that Sydney come with him. As his buisness partner of course, after all it’s not like anyone is gonna think they’re a couple anyways.

a thousand things - morningssofgold (@morningssofgold)

Sydney being sick gives Carmy the opportunity to think of what was, what is, and most importantly, what could be.

#streets - ourblackdalhlia(@xblackreader)

“his record, background and hearsay from news outlets and media won’t change her mind. Sydney Adamu in love with Carmen Berzatto; guilty or not.”

true blue - littlemisslost (@sydneysrissotto)

post s3 finale Carmy has an identity crisis and Sydney has an emotional crisis. the bear family tries it’s best.

christmas, mistletoe, and viewer engagement - browneyesparker (@threads-of-gold)

Syd and Carmy pretend to be engaged when Better Homes and Gardens ask them to be on their 2025 Christmas issue and think they're together, like a couple together.

i want a love i can see - ag35

what do you when your 19 with no prospects? You go to work and try to fill that void.

sutherlins (@sutherlins):

brigade: a system of hierarchy: The conversation in the alley after the implementation of the brigade and Carmy running out on her to attend Al-Anon happened. The next day Sydney needs a break and Carmy joins her, sparking another conversation that triggers something between them.

how will i know?: Carmy finds a scribbled first draft of a resignation from Sydney, in an effort to make her stay he asks how long she has before Shapiro needs an answer from her. One month. One month to show Sydney why she should stay and not lose her forever.

faucet: Sydney punches Carmy in the face. In her defense, she didn't know it was Carmy chasing her down the dark block but the bleeding nose is enough to make her feel guilty enough to return to The Bear with him and talk things out. To figure out whatever the weird shit between them was. The conversation ends up kicking off a powder keg that might destroy everything if they aren't careful... and neither of them are very careful.

the heart is cooking a pot of food for you - shareece (@bootlegramdomneess)

Sydney stays in NYC after culinary school. Life happens hard.

bakerst_sherlolly (@bakerst-sherlolly):

comfort: Carmy takes care of Syd during a rough time of the month.

i want something that i'll never find: Sydney's friend will not take "no" for an answer when it comes to convincing Syd to "back out there" and go on a date. In her words, Syd’s been stuck in a rut. She hadn’t gone on a date since 2020 and well, that was kind of depressing. Sydney couldn’t disagree with her friend, but she also did not want to acquiesce so quickly. Acquiescing would be equivalent to admitting something was wrong and well, Sydney Adamu always had a solution for everything. Everything except for dating that is.

have i told you lately that i love you?: How Syd ends up at Tiff's wedding as Carmy's date.

cold ice, warm hearts: Sydney has a gnarly fall. Carmy jumps into protective mode.

honeycrisp - anonymous

The apple and where it fell from the tree, hoping against hope.

puzzlepuppy (@sydneys-adamu):

there we two, content: carmy, sydney and the adventures of cat parenting.

without a friend, a lover’s near: the first february at the bear rolls around and carmy has a question for sydney. that is, if he can get the words out.

it starts with a swipe: boy meets girl, girl hates boy, boy is colossally screwed. (dating app au)

winter - everythingkay

Sydney shows up on Carmy’s doorstep with a scarf wrapped around the lower half of her face. She couldn’t find a ski mask, so. And she ran out of medical masks months ago.

daisy - debutante_gurl (@tvgremlin)

The Bear has barely been open four months when Sydney Adamu finds herself unexpectedly pregnant with Carmy's baby.

tales in the fast lane - lecham44 (@lecham1644)

Sydney is a journalist and Carmy is a Formula 1 driver both desperately in need of kick-starting their careers.

the unspeakable four - ceselle1024 (@ambeauty)

He thinks about the day she convinced him to leave Chicago for Los Angeles. Her career as an influencer chef was far less stressful and more lucrative than the restaurant they owned. They’d have more opportunities in LA and she promised him one day they’d open another spot completely their own. He was down for it. He’d followed Syd to the ends of the Earth if it meant he got to love her and be the father to Stella that he never had. They traded everyone and everything they loved for this fake ass town with fake people and their bullshit palates, for social media fame and success. He fucking hated it. As much as he loved Sydney, their cushy life as influencers wasn’t what he signed up for and he missed the perpetual grind and energy of being in a commercial kitchen.

you put a move on my heart - conceivedangel (@conceived-angel)

Third year college student, Sydney Adamu, meets Food & Wine's Best New Chef, Carmen Berzatto. It's the kind of chemistry her major can't prepare her for.

future flow - freedelusionshere (@freedelusionshere)

Carmy helps Syd celebrate her birthday. Set during the imaginary S4 playing in my head.

the love we created is part of my life - emilybrontay (@emilybrontay)

For her eighteenth birthday Cleo Emmanuelle Adamu received: one hundred and fifty dollars in cash from her various cousins in Louisiana, a hardback copy of Annie Allen by Gwendolyn Brooks from her best friend Tea Cake, silk scarves from her uncle Marcus, a portable telescope to take to college in the fall from her grandfather, the keys to a beat-up Vespa and a helmet, do not get on that scooter without your helmet from her mother, and the identity of her biological father from the Chicago Sperm Bank.

anxiety_croissant (@anxietycroissant):

it's late in the day (i'm thinking of you): It’s Halloween and let’s just pretend the restaurant is closed, ok? Syd visits her mom at the cemetery. And whose grave is near Syd’s mom’s? Yeah. Mikey’s.

would you always? maybe sometimes? make it easy? take your time?: Months after Syd left The Bear, she owes one last favor to Cicero. Roped into it before she handed in her notice, she has one last event to cater with Carmy. After a tense evening, Carmy and Syd are in the middle of cleanup. Hauling things down the service elevator, they get stuck. After talking with an unhelpful attendant, they figure out that they're in for a long wait. And things between them? They're bad.

constellations - abeesuniverse

The Bear gets a star, Sydney and Carmy get matching tattoos.

one more time - adelicateecosystem (@clonesimpextra)

Following the review, Carmy and Sydney have to navigate a new challenge that could mean the end, or the beginning, of everything.

they know - beezchurger

The crew of The Bear senses something is going on between their two chefs and they have to get to the bottom of it.

a matter of taste - oysterknife (@purposechef)

On her sixth birthday, Sydney Adamu suddenly develops the ability to taste the emotions of a person through the food they cook.

endgame - doubleapple

It’s the day after friends and family, and Carmy is a fucking wreck.

warm plates - cowlicker

“Hey,” he says, cheeks pink, giving her a lopsided smile. “You look pretty, Syd.” Sydney’s hand goes up to touch her half-done braids. “Thank you,” she laughs, a little flustered. “they’re nowhere near done but…yeah.” “Still pretty.” he insists, stepping closer. Carmy casually slips his arm around her waist and presses his lips to hers.

(after all the boys and the girls that we've been through) would you give it all up? - fkahwere

Two years ago, in the smoking area of the hotel where the afterparty was being hosted, illuminated by the ‘EXIT’ neon sign—sitting unbothered and unaware above their heads—Sydney Adamu kissed her co-star Carmen Berzatto.

the way to a woman's heart - rav3nb1ack

Since the opening of their new restaurant, Sydney has been plagued with nightmares of her catering business combusting into flames, to the point where she can no longer focus. But after she goes out to complete an errand and also to give herself a breather, she's surprised to find a path of rose petals leading into The Bear's dining area, along with the aroma of a familiar scent...

#oh myy im in the company of brilliant genius writers wow #thank you for including true blue in this 🥺🥺🥺
