The Artifact Database AU is a Fan Verse of Warehouse 13, where the canon Warehouse Agents are joined by fan-Made Agents.
The community's core is the eponymous Warehouse 13 Artifact Database wiki
, which stores the information behind the stories primarily found on the Fanfic wiki (although some stories on the latter started out as role-plays on the former).
Stories include:
- The Beast Inside: A story about when Felix joined the Warehouse team.
- Once Upon A Warehouse: One of the First RP's on the wiki.
- Agent Logs: A page on the Database wiki where Agents place various stories about their time in the Warehouse.
- Relationships page: Where Agents and their respective love interests place stories about their relationships together.
- Memory Vault: A tradition among the wiki. The page functions in a similar way to Agent Logs, except that the page is only unlocked for adding memories on the same day as Warehouse 13's Series Finale.
- Delicious: Garret's first life-or-death experience.
- Out of Alignment: Agent Taylor's Power Incontinence
- Endless Leverage - The Leverage crossover mentioned below.
- Double Danger: Garret gets an Enemy Without. The first in a quartet.
- SAW: Endless Torture: Felix gets tortured by a mysterious villain. Second in a quartet.
- The Munchies: A Break the Cutie story featuring Soul as the cutie. Third in a quartet
- (unnamed story featuring Blaine Biston) Fourth and final in a quartet.
- De-Extinction Event: A Eureka story crossing over with Jurassic Park.
The wiki provides examples of:
- All Myths Are True: The entirety of Origin Circle, which contains artifacts belonging to various mythological beings from Norse Mythology (ex: Mjolnir, Gungnir, Freyr's sword...), Egyptian Mythology (Ra's Crook and Flail, Anubis' mask, The Book of Thoth...), Classical Mythology (Head of Medusa, Hand of Midas, Prometheus' Chain...), and the rest of humanity's belief systems, up to and including the modern Abrahamic religions. The Grimm Sector is this for fairy tales.
- Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: Several examples, both in-universe and in Fanon.
- Gloria Von Dichi is an alias of Marie Guichon, the unhappy wife of Charles Perrault, a several hundred year old villainess with a grudge against the Warehouse for taking her red cloak when she was still young.
- Alexander the Great was significantly affected by the destruction of the first Warehouse, some unexplained event giving him apparent immortality. He goes by Nick Renson now, and has been present for every incarnation of the Warehouse.
- In-universe M.C. Escher worked on the Escher Vault. He now also runs the H.A.R.P. team, having been Bronzed decades ago due to his tinkering with artifacts.
- Sarah Michelle Gellar is an honorary H.A.R.P. member, having been exposed to a Tulpa-class artifact when props from Buffy the Vampire Slayer became artifact infused.
- Michael Crichton worked for Eureka before his death in 2006, perfecting actual dinosaur cloning. His most famous novel was a thought exercise intended to flesh out any potential threats and issues.
- Walt Disney was an agent of the Warehouse and offered to store some artifacts that were causing problems with the others in a vault underneath his theme park. The leaking effect of these artifacts led to bouts of inspiration and were the basis of many early Disney films.
- Marilyn Monroe, Charlie Chaplin, J. Edgar Hoover, René Magritte, Salvador Dalí, Robert Oppenheimer and Russell T Davies have had some history with the Warehouse, either working with agents on specialized cases or being agents themselves.
- Betty White and Rod Serling, among others, are at least aware of the Warehouse or artifacts and have contributed to the collection.
- Cast Full of Gay: Not a lot of the fan-Agents are heterosexual.
- Excalibur in the Stone: Averted. The Warehouse has Clarent (the sword in the stone from Canon) and the ACTUAL Excalibur, which is bifurcated with the scabbard.
- Back from the Dead: Aside from Steve as in canon, several agents have died and returned, Garret Scott among them.
- Crossover: Via an artifact, Warehouse 13 briefly crossed over with the SCP Foundation, not to mention the Convention Aisle's artifacts, all created by fans and gaining their respective powers. Also features Eureka in canon, with Blaine having been hired from there. There's also been a run-in with the Leverage team.
- Mind-Control Device: There's probably an aisle of them.
- Playing with Fire: An entire aisle does this.
- Put on a Bus: The Quantum Bus is a convenient artifact that has a habit of appearing to run over people who need to go, erasing them from the timeline. Used on the wiki to explain the sudden absence of any banned users and their characters.
- Sacred Hospitality: Literally enforced by a bust of Zeus Xenios.
- Taken for Granite: Aside from the Bronzing process, the Warehouse has the Preserved head of Medusa (though it's unclear whether it's her actual head or was just used by her), as well as a Midas' Golden Touch artifact.
