Which Miss Peregrine Home For Peculiar Fanfics Best Capture The Found-Family Warmth Of The Peculiars?

I’ve been obsessed with the found-family dynamics in 'Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children' fanfics lately, and there’s a handful that absolutely nail that cozy, chaotic warmth. One standout is 'The Hollows We Fill' by somuchforafterglow on AO3. It expands on the original timeline, weaving in new Peculiars while keeping the core group’s bond intact. The way the author writes Jacob and Emma’s sibling-like bickering, mixed with Olive’s quiet resilience and Enoch’s grudging protectiveness, feels like stepping back into the loop. There’s a scene where they build a makeshift Christmas tree from stolen library books—it’s absurd and tender, exactly what I crave from this universe.

Another gem is 'Birds of a Feather' by hollowgast. It’s a post-canon fix-it where the kids carve out a new loop in modern-day London. The found-family vibes shine through mundane details: shared kitchen disasters, Hugh’s bees swarming the TV during movie nights, Horace’s prophetic nightmares becoming a group therapy session. The author doesn’t shy away from the darker edges of their trauma but balances it with moments like Bronwyn teaching Claire to arm wrestle. It’s the kind of fic that makes you wish you could crawl into the page and join their tea-drinking chaos.

For something softer, 'Threadbare Hearts' by loopkeeper focuses on Miss Peregrine herself. It explores her backstory while showing how she becomes an anchor for the kids. There’s a chapter where she mends everyone’s clothes during a storm, stitching up Holes while they confess fears—literal and metaphorical patchwork. The fic nails the delicate balance of her sternness hiding oceans of care. Lesser-known but equally heartwarming is 'Peculiarity Adjusted' by warbler, where Fiona and Millard co-parent a newly discovered Peculiar toddler. The way the others rotate bedtime stories and makeshift haircuts captures that ‘chosen family’ magic. These fics all understand that the heart of the series isn’t just the peculiarities—it’s the way these kids turn a crumbling house into a home.
