Which Fictional Family Would You Join?

Hello, lovely reader 🏰💌

There's a very specific kind of daydream that only book lovers understand: closing the final page of a beloved series and immediately wondering, quietly, what if I belonged there too? Not just as a reader watching from the outside, but as a fully paid-up member of the family.

Because that's what the best book series really give us, isn't it? Not just plot, not just romance — family. The kind you choose, the kind that shows up at 2am, the kind that would burn down a city for you. So today, we're doing a little matchmaking. Grab your tea, settle in, and see which fictional family has your name on it.

🃏 The Crows — For the Ones Who Trust No One (Except Everyone)

If your idea of family is a ragtag group of thieves, spies, and sharpshooters who'd rather die than admit they care about each other — you belong with the Crows. This is loyalty dressed up as sarcasm. Nobody says "I love you," but everybody shows up anyway, every time, no matter the odds.

🖤 The Court of Elfhame — For the Ones Who Like Their Family with a Little Danger

Some families are cosy. This one is a chess match. If you're drawn to sharp wit, sharper politics, and a found family built on rivalry that slowly, stubbornly, becomes devotion — this court is calling your name. Fair warning: everyone here is playing at least two games at once.

🌙 The Rampion Crew — For the Ones Who Collect Misfits

A cyborg mechanic, a deposed princess, a soldier with a secret — the kind of crew that shouldn't work on paper but somehow becomes unbreakable. If your found family philosophy is "the more mismatched, the better," this one's yours.

⚔️ The Shadowhunters — For the Ones Who Believe Blood and Choice Can Both Make a Family

Parabatai bonds, chosen siblings, family dinners that occasionally end in demon-fighting — this family blurs every line between duty and love. If you want a family that argues loudly and defends each other louder, welcome home.

🐉 The Riders of Basgiath — For the Ones Who Bond for Life, Literally

Forged under pressure, tested by fire (sometimes literally), this is family built through survival. If your ideal family is the kind that gets stronger the harder life tries to break it, you'll fit right in among the riders.

So — Which One Called Your Name?

Maybe you saw yourself in the quiet loyalty of the Crows. Maybe it was the dangerous glamour of Elfhame, or the scrappy warmth of the Rampion crew. Whichever family pulled at you, there's usually a reason — these characters mirror something we're all quietly looking for in our own lives: people who choose us, again and again.

If you'd like to bring a little piece of your fictional family home with you, we've gathered pieces inspired by these worlds into one place — from Crows-coded totes to court-worthy mugs. No pressure to pick just one family. We never do.

Whichever world you'd curl up in tonight, we hope it feels like home.

With love, The Bean Workshop 🫘
