Chris and Sherry meeting for the first time.

Chris and Sherry first meet when Chris and his team return back to the city to see a woman flashing a National Security badge with a man at her side, Jake Muller. Chris recognizes the woman as Sherry Birkin, commenting she was in Raccoon City. Sherry questions how he knows that, to which Chris simply states the name “Claire”. Hearing Claire Redfield’s name, Sherry immediately inches closer to Chris, asking if he’s Chris. Chris smiles at her, before confirming his sister has told him all about Sherry. Before any more could be said, Piers Nivans, Chris’ teammate/partner, takes notice of the man Sherry’s with as he is a “wanted insurgent”. Sherry tries to defuse the rising tension by saying Jake is under the protection of the U.S. government and that he is not a threat to the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (B.S.A.A), the organization Chris works for. Right then a call comes in of a massive B.O.W. being airdropped down to their location. Chris heads for Sherry, telling her they will talk later, through Sherry needs to find herself cover. As the fight begins, Sherry tells Chris she will “give him a hand,” to which Chris tries to get her to safety instead. Sherry counters back she can handle herself and that Chris needs the help. With that, Chris and Sherry work together for the first time, defeating the B.O.W.

After the B.O.W’s defeat, Chris gives the helicopter pilot Sherry will be taking the coordinates for a rendezvous point. Sherry takes Chris’ hand, sincerely thanking him for his help. As Sherry and Jake are turning to broad the helicopter, Chris tells her to have a save flight.

The next time Chris and Sherry see each other is six months later when Chris and the rest of his team help Sherry and Jake when they are being surrounded by B.O.Ws. Sherry is relieved to see Chris and his team, claiming he and his team will protect them. Jake is noticeably irritated at Sherry’s talk of Chris, even more when Sherry attempts to reason with him again. Having had enough, Jake lets Chris help, though insisting Sherry not talk about him anymore.

Following the fight, Piers is reluctant to let Jake and Sherry go, claiming “they’ll never survive on their own,” considering Neo-Umbrella is after them. His words go ignored by Chris however as Chris is too focused on their own mission at hand.

Chris yelling for Sherry to move.

Sometime later, Sherry and Jake get adducted and the word is relayed to back Chris by Leon Kennedy. Chris and Piers set off on a rescue mission for them. After saving and meeting up with them, Chris makes it known he knows that Jake is Albert Wesker’s son — his nemesis. A heated argument erupts and Sherry is unsure what to do in this situation. Soon after, all four people start fighting off atacking B.O.Ws on elevator-like platforms, each of them having their own conversations with one and other. Chris and Sherry’s going:

Sherry“How did you know Jake is Wesker’s son? I didn’t think the B.S.A.A was privy to the intel.”
Chris“Leon told me. He also told me where to find you.”
Sherry“So he’s okay? Good I was worried Simmons had gotten to him.”
Chris“No, he’s fine. For the time being anyway. But he’s not out of the woods yet. This outbreak in China makes Raccoon City pale in comparison. We need a vaccine for the C-Virus, and we need it now.”
Sherry“Which means you need Jake.”
Chris“We’re gonna get you two out of here. Count on it. Even if it’s the last thing I do for the B.S.A.A.”
— Resident Evil 6.

Chris and Sherry soon split up and go off with their respective partners to complete their own mission.

Fanon[]

Birkinfield is an incredibly small ship within the Resident Evil fandom. It is seen as a bit of a crack paring among the fandom — even by those who ship it — despite the fact that Chris and Sherry appear in the same game and speak to each other. Despite how small it is, a common trope in fan works is Claire Redfield, Chris’ sister, who is how Chris and Sherry were aware of each other before their first meeting in Resident Evil 6.

On AO3, Birkinfield has 5+ works in its romantic/het tag, and 10+ in its platonic/general tag.
