Green Creek is a series of romance novels (stick with me here) about a werewolf pack (plz don’t flee yet) in the pacific northwest (i swear its nothing like twilight) that is actually really good and lovely. The first book fis about a boy named Ox who has trouble feeling like he belongs and has very low self-confidence, who goes on to befriend a werewolf family that loves and accepts him, and he eventually falls in love with one of them. Also there’s an evil werewolf at some point but i’m not here for the plot i’m here for the found family fluff.

found family vibes are off the charts. Like you know that fanart trope where you have all the characters in a cuddle pile? That happens. In canon. Several times. 

characters all genuinely care about one another. The friendship and brotherly love is just >>>. Elizabeth and Maggie? Iconic duo. Carter and Kelly? I’m literally crying right now just thinking about them. also everyone

The characters, y’all. people you want to root for. Ox is shy and unsure of himself but he really just wants to help people and do the right thing. Gordo is a dramatic bitch and i adore him. Elizabeth is my queen. The ladies? All badass. I could go on. 

Do you love side characters? Do you hate when a couple is broken up for drama in the sequel? Well, good news! Every book is from a different perspective, so many of your beloved side characters get to be main characters later, and established couples avoid drama and are adorable.

Straights? In my werewolf pack? Less likely than you think.

But in all seriousness, if you are looking for LGBTQ+ characters, it will not disappoint. We got gay wolves, bi wolves, ace wolves, aro wolves, wolves in a qpr, it just does. not. stop. not side characters, main characters. In the words of the author: “This pack is a goddamn pride parade.”

The magic! Heckin cool!

They are??? Actually really funny??

Emotionally harrowing as well

the aNGST my dudes

there’s also so much fluff and that is my sHIT

anyway if you’re looking for some fluff/angst/fluff in your life, cannot recommend this enough!

The Green Creek gang!! 🐺 (also omg i’ve been pushing tumblr to the wayside lately 😩 my bad)

the foundest of families for @sirfatcat-mccatterson

Cat and Laila are telling him it looks good but Jeremy shakes his head and asks for a makeup wipe. Jean comes back to see the makeup off and goes “You took it off?” Jeremy says “yeah, I didn’t think it looked good.” Jean, fighting for his life, just simply says “It suited you.”

How can he look Jean in the eye, knowing that Jean has endured worse - infinitely, unfathomably worse - than Jeremy ever has, and yet Jean is picking up the pieces and getting better, even as Jeremy is stagnating? How could he ever hope for someone to love him, when he's been stuck in the same place for years, unable to move forward and yet terrified to slip up again? How can he expect anyone to want him, to choose him, especially someone like Jean Moreau?
