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.

The Prince and the Pea by CrazyPenguinWriter2001 [Rated T, 14413 Words, Complete, 2024]

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.)

Part 5: Now We’re Grown-up Orphans [G, 8679 Words, Incomplete, Updated Dec 2021] The little adventures of The Foxhole Kits as siblings and Wymack’s kiddos. (Drabbles and one-shots about the little Foxes being friends and having their hurts comforted.)

bold of jeremy to doubt the foxes' ability to "pull off two miracle years in a row", buddy half of them are only alive out of spite, they are literally fueled by pure resentment and bitterness, they can pull it off if they're angry enough

aftg headcanons that are so real to me i forget they aren’t canon:

black dan and matt

korean american renee

ethnically ambiguous kevin

katelyn looking a lot like neil (red hair, blue eyes, facial structure, etc)

andrew has an eyebrow piercing

andrew paints his nails black

lactose intolerant twinyards

twinyards both have curtain bangs

neil purposefully mispronouncing french words to annoy kevin

neil randomly speaking to nicky in spanish and nicky going: “huh? 😃” (he has no idea what neil just said)

seth’s hairline being a literal straight line

renee having massive angel wings tattooed on her back

renee giving andrew a black cross for his birthday and him wearing it every single day in an alt, edgy way (it matches her silver one perfectly. yes they have best friend necklaces i decree it)

allison helping renee dye the ends of her hair and renee helping allison touch up her roots

allison and andrew developing a frenemies kinda thing

doll and her twink dynamics abounding (renee and andrew, allison and neil, allison and nicky)

allison and nicky becoming besties

dan wearing orange the most often out of all the foxes… until neil comes along. then they compete

neil and andrew constantly wearing each other’s jersey

nicky giggling whenever he sees kevin’s tattoo (his internal dialogue: yas queen skinny legend versace boots the house down slay queen hungry mama and oop daddy work charli xcx snatch my wig)

biromantic aspec kevin

queer renee

demiromantic andrew
