Ango of Green Gables (Series) by @harrowharkwife

The Adventure Zone: Balance | Taako & Angus | G | 14k | 4 works

Taako pats the counter beside the stove. “Hop on up here then, boychik. I’m making chai.” “I’ve never had that before,” Angus says as he struggles to pull himself up onto the counter. He finally succeeds, scooting back until his legs are dangling off the edge at the knees. “Well, we can fix that. The best chai is homemade anyways, the stuff they sell at Fantasy Starbucks is nowhere close. That’s fake chai for cowards. Don’t fall for it.” “Noted,” Angus says, nodding. (OR: "sometimes you can't get to sleep, so your new maybe-dad shows you how to make chai from scratch, and he says some really nice things to you, and you end up crying all over him, and you know what? that's okay!" -Angus McDonald, probably) (summary from the first work of the series)

I love fics that explore Taako & Angus’s dynamic and their wonderful found family relationship. This series in particular is super precious and made it tear up at times too. It’s very tender and the writing is excellent.

found fox family by FaiaSakura [Rated T, 2236 Words, Complete, 2020]

What is family, if not the people you find true connections with? David Wymack never thought he would find a daughter in Dan Wilds. Betsy Dobson's relationship with Andrew Minyard is as undeniable as it is undefinable. Abby Winfield is the mother-figure for Aaron Minyard in all the ways that matter.

Part 2 of Foxytales

Once upon a time... As the unofficial princess of Palmetto Kingdom, Dan had to deal with a lot of suitors. Men (and some women) trying their hand at gaining hers in marriage, without taking into consideration what she wanted. Fed up, she and Renee came up with a solution to this problem: a test. And the one who'd succeed would be the one that could marry her. The solution seemed flawless, as all suitors had failed the test and therefore lost the right to marry Dan, leaving her single and happy. That is until a certain young man knocks on the door one rainy evening…

The Foxhole Kits series by AlrightDarlin (WhoopsOK) [Not Rated/G/T, Collection, 10 complete works, Updated 2021, Locked]

An AU where Wymack winds up taking on the Foxes as his littles and they learn what it means to have a dad (and a family) that loves them. … this series has no explicit material at all; no sex, no violence, not even the canon-typical kind. The worst you will find are periodic allusions throughout to the things the Foxes went through as kids. Wymack is completely platonic as a caregiver and that will never, ever change.

Part 1: The Unloved Kids [Not Rated, 34923 Words, Complete, 2018] Previously recced here “I intend to treat them the same. I need strong athletes, not toddlers,” Wymack starts, but sits back with a sigh, running a hand over his face. “But hypothetically, if I had to look after a bunch of toddlers on the weekends…” Betsy’s eyes crinkle with her smile. “Are you asking advice?” “They’re screwed up enough,” Wymack says, “I’m not trying to make it worse.”

(David Wymack takes his little nightmares and does his best to corral them and love them within an inch of their lives. He can’t change what happened to them, but he can be there for them now.)

Father Figures and Days of Acclamation by MellarkandArt (@mellarkandart) Pairing: Gen, Severitus Rating: G Word Count: 1k He decided to stop reminding the teachers that he didn’t have any parents to make presents for, too. Instead, he did the projects as he was told, writing Happy Christmas, Happy Mother’s Day, Happy Father’s Day, and signing empty “I love you’s” to people who did not exist for him. He decided not to throw them away like Aunt Petunia had done with his either, and instead saved them like she had with Dudley’s presents. He kept them under the mattress on the cot in his cupboard like he did with all other things that were precious to him, which really didn’t amount to much. Harry often wondered what it would be like to have a parent who treasured his handmade gifts like Aunt Petunia did with Dudley, a parent who didn’t see his presence as a nuisance. Maybe that’s why he kept these things, for the hope that someday, maybe, he’d have someone he could give them to. Someone who would treat them as a keepsake, someone who would treat him like something of value. Maybe someday.
