Recs that focus on platonic/familial relationships?

I just finished On The Way To Meet Mom (put it off for some time) and started reading The Monsters' Undertaker, and also The Fundamental Law and I was really enjoying them. I really like reading stories centred around or at least have a strong emphasis on friendship, teamwork and found family.

Other examples include ORV, Pick Me Up, Barbarian Quest, Tyrant of a Defense Game, and even Ending Maker (I know it's technically romance, but my point is, I feel like the story builds up platonic chemistry between the leads before it does that).

Does anyone have any recs where they really enjoy the friendship/found family dynamic between the characters? Bonus points if it's an opposite-sex friendship that stays that way. I want to read more, and I'm not too picky on genre.

    Haha, glad you'll enjoy these ^ ^! I forgot to mention For My Own Good here which has honestly been a favourite right now, but I forgot because it didn't update for a while until recently
