Welcome Home is a Slice of Life novel written by Red "Redsaph" Gavin. In a world populated with anthropomorphic creatures and humans alike, Riley Williams, a human orphan with a troubled past, is adopted by the Ashers, a family of skunk anthros, and gradually learns just what it means to be a family, that you can't always rely on yourself, and how to overcome differences in a society that has failed you time and time again. However, not everyone in the world welcomes newcomers in the same way. Suffice it to say, they all get into many different scenarios, some darker than others, but they enjoy each other's company all the while, and as cheesy as it sounds, that's all that matters to the family.Not to be confused with the alternate reality game or the 2018 film.

Genre Shift: Welcome Home started out as a drama story about feeling inadequate until the characters grew closer and the protagonist's mental health improved, the series slowly shifting to something more slice-of-life and cheery over time. That is until chapter 29, where Riley gets hospitalized, leading to a "recovery arc" where the characters are at their lowest points mentally. Forcing the story to gradually return to the tone it had in chapter 28.

Chekhov's Gun

Chekhov's Gun: Early on in the novel, Riley uncovers a sobriety coin, causing her to become mildly stressed, tucking it away for a reason not yet known to the reader. This is brought up again in chapter 22. When Rick's parents examine the details of Riley's documents, they uncover a concerning issue that needs to be addressed. A suppressed memory: the painful truth that Riley's mother died as a result of an overdose and why she relapsed.

Happily Adopted: One of the most crucial aspects of Welcome Home's story is Riley's relationship with the Ashers, whom she first sees as a group of kind strangers wasting their time trying to help her, then as her "adopted" family, and finally as her family in general.

Slice of Life: Welcome Home is largely about a family and their friends going about their daily lives as they adjust to their new living situation. It addresses topics such as living in the moment, prejudice, understanding your past, and self-acceptance.

Defied Trope: Despite being one of the most well-known characteristics of skunks in real life. Spraying is an uncomfortable taboo in this universe, it is only used for self-defense in life-or-death situations and never in anger. However, even though it is an extremely rare occurrence and nothing but hearsay, it doesn't prevent harmful stereotypes from spreading, creating a minor conflict in the story.
