Minishadowsoul has as of date 6 fics that show great insight in the relationship between the Core Four (+ Ben), interesting backstories for the villianous parents, and an interesting look at the possible relationship between the Core Four and Ben post movie.

screaminginternally has 10 fics (so far) that look at certain characters (Ben and Jane, most often) and writes their thought processes and decisions in the film proper, has written friendship fics between Jane and Chad Charming (in that they were friends when they were young and grew apart in high school), and is writing a series on Jane and the magic peoples in Auradon Prep and what it's like for them. Some of it is during or before the movie, but the Jane series isn't concrete in the timeline.
- She's got incredibly interesting fanfics exploring the perils of being an explicitly magical creature that can't use magic, not needing to sleep, eat, nor go to the bathroom, having an incredibly advanced, already adult-level intellect from the day you come into existence, and being able to perfectly, 100% accurately feel the emotions of everyone around you. Whether you want to or not. Fascinating stuff all around.

General Fics

Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.

Family Means Your Problems Are Our Problems series by minishadowsoul

Recommended by: Brytte Myst
Status: Complete
Synopsis: There are five installments to date with their own synopsis.
- On the Isle everyone took care of themselves. Anything less was admitting weakness, and the children of villains were not allowed to have weaknesses. They still have problems admitting they need help, but that’s okay. They have each other, now, and one person’s problem is everyone’s problem. Or the one where Carlos gets sick and everyone takes care of him and pretends they aren’t panicking
- Something is going on, and Ben is going to find out what. Because he is the king and these people are his friends. And he can handle this. No, really, he can and will handle this. Even if everyone smirks at him and tries to handle their problems all on their own. Or the one in which everyone helps Mal deal with a problem and Ben solves everything with an awkward, off-screen phone call
- Evie is very good at taking care of everyone else. She likes to stay busy but often forgets she needs to do things like eat and take naps and maybe take a break before she throws her textbook out the window. Or the one where everyone reminds Evie that food and sleep are things people need to live and Ben is officially declared Family
- They know being raised on the Isle makes them different from everyone else. Normally, these differences don't bother them. Then Jay begins to worry that some differences are irredemable but refuses to talk about it until things reach the breaking point. Or the one in which Jay panics a lot, Mal awkwardly figures out what is going on, Ben is sort of but not really kicked out of his own room, and sexuality probably should have been explained more
- Ben is a king now. He is used to a life filled with people constantly looking out for him. One would think that would mean he'd be used to his four, newest friends taking care of him, too. They would be wrong. These four take Looking Out For One Another to an entirely new level. Or the one in which whenever Ben has a problem, he blinks and finds that problem has been solved/is being solved before he can even complain about it
Comments: This great series delves in Day in the Life situations between Mal, Ben, Evie, Jay and Carlos, establishing their relationships masterfully. There's the canon pairing of Ben and Mal, but it's not the focus, which lies in the relationships between the Found Family the Four are, and how Ben ends up fitting with them.
