Tony Stark Discovers A New Element (2/2)

Person: Do you have a valentine?

Slytherin: No, I have anxiety

For someone who brags about their subtleness, precision, and finesse, the Shaw siblings are all show-offs and attention seekers.

They really are!!

When introduced, all the Shaws are shown to be the utmost badasses around!

But when we see them on screen, they're badass, but absolutely RIDICULOUS

Owen?

Monologues to Dom for several minutes and gets to live out his life time dream of being a melodramatic villain

Deckard?

Doesn't even manage to kill one member of the crew, but manages to bring down how many buildings? How many explosions did he cause?

Hattie?

Immediately gets a wig and fights a guy 2 heads taller than her, and 3 times her weight. And she keeps fighting! The whole time delivering quips!

These three can be excellent spies/criminals/badasses, but when it comes down to it, all three are attention seekers

When they know they have someone to flaunt to, they will

Usually to potential mates

So, basically.

The Shaws are peacocks

Loud, obnoxious, and extremely noticeable when they want to be

Tony: I have a plan.

Bucky: It can’t involve self-sacrifice.

Tony: I no longer have a plan.

“I win.”

Need help finding a fic.

The issue is I don’t remember the name or the plot, just one specific scene. Which doesn’t help as I can’t remember if it was a part of the actual plot or if it was some sort of flashback type of deal.

Anyway so the thing I remember is:

Chuuya and Dazai get into a fight after completing a job. Chuuya chooses to go back to HQ in a huff first, leaving Dazai there.

Oda (who was assisting or part of the clean-up?) was there so Dazai wasn’t too bummed out even as if he felt a bit bad about the fight and somewhat unsettled. Oda offers to make sure he gets back to HQ with Dazai being his annoying self to brush it all off.

His misgivings are not misplaced as Chuuya encounters Q when he gets back to HQ who wants to play with him as Dazai refuses to play with him. Q curses Chuuya and that inadvertently triggers Corruption (though they don’t call it that as this is the first time Chuuya shows that side of his power so this part at least is before DHC since I don’t remember if SB is mentioned later).

When Dazai arrives in a hurry, haven given into worry, Chuuya is wrecking everything and clearly not his usual self. Q is crying and hiding beneath a bench. Dazai at first orders him to stop using his ability as he doesn’t see the doll, but Q reveals he did stop using it but Chuuya didn’t stop being weird and destroying stuff.

So Dazai does end up nullifying Chuuya and they’re both left wondering what the hell all that was about (and there’s casualties as well - I think the fic implied that this was the incident that lead to the decision to lock Q up though that also caused more carnage).

Unfortunately, that’s all I remember so if you recognize it and know what this might be from I would be extremely grateful. I’ve been looking for it for days now but not knowing the title, tags, or summary makes it hard to find.

Hey Omni! After seeing your content and you mentioning Owen in physiotherapy.

I thought about maybe the crew and his siblings helping him through it!

Aww! That'd be really wholesome! And gosh, Owen would be so embarrassed having to be helped by that many people

~~~

Dom leaned against the doorway leading into the living room and watched as Owen sat with Jack, who excited talked to him. Owen was lifting small weights, working on his arm strength

Every day, Owen was getting stronger. But it also seemed like he was getting just as restless

Owen had been with them for a few months now, ever since they had smuggled him out of the hospital. It had been difficult to sneak out someone who could barely walk out of the country undetected, but they had

And Dom didn't really regret it

The whole time Owen had been in that coma, it had broken Dom's heart to see how much Letty struggled. She would constantly fly back and forth between London and LA to see him

He was family to her, and she wasn't going to let him go

When she had come back, a mixture of tears and a smile, Dom knew it was time to make a decision

They would take Owen in as part of the crew. Whether he liked it or not

Luck seemed to be on their side, because Owen didn't remember anything about them. The Nightshade heist was wiped from his memory and how he had ended up in a coma

Owen had readily accepted their help, especially when he saw how much Letty trusted them

Months later, it felt as if Owen had been part of their crew since forever. Brian and Mia had accepted him and enjoyed how much he and Jack got along. Especially when Owen helped Jack with his ADHD

Dom was just worried what would happen when Owen was completely recovered

Would he want to stay with them?

Dom got his answer a week later

---

"Dom, I keep telling you, you have to wash the pans before putting them in the dishwasher!" Letty complained as she scrubbed at a pan

Dom simply grunted as he worked side by side her to scrub another pan. There was a reason he hated doing chores

They were so focused on each other, it took them a minute to notice they had an audience

"Let? Nic?"

Shutting off the water, they both turned to see Owen standing in the doorway. He still couldn't run, but he was able to stand by himself and walk unassisted

"What's up, Oh?" Letty asked, drying her hands

"Do you remember my brother's number? Or my Mum's?"

Dom blinked in surprise. He didn't even know Owen had a brother

"I have your brother's, but I wasn't sure if he was in a safe place to be contacted." Letty quietly admitted

"Even if he's not, he'll take the risk." Owen nodded. "I need to talk to him."

"Sure, Oh."

Letty handed her phone over and they watched him leave the room, phone to his ear

"Deck?"

Frowning, Dom looked down at Letty

"Why didn't you tell me he had family?"

Letty was still staring at where Owen was, biting her lip

"Because his brother is on the run from the law. He's done a lot worse than Owen and doesn't want to lead that trouble to Owen. I didn't want either of them risking their lives for each other."

"And now?"

"Looks like they're going to do it anyway." Letty sighed

It was another two weeks when Deckard and Hattie Shaw showed up

They were having their weekly barbecue. Jack had dragged Owen around the yard, leaving him breathless. Dom had raised an eyebrow when he saw Roman being the one to rush to Owen's side and help him sit

He shared a smirk with Brian, both nodding in agreement about the hopefully, future couple

They were all sitting down to eat when there was a shout from the driveway

"Owen!"

Owen had shot to his feet, but wobbled for a second. The rest of the crew followed suit, Roman standing next to Owen to take his weight if need be

"Deck!" Owen called back instead, not even noticing the protective stance the crew was taking around him

Around the corner came a man and woman, both looking pissed off

"Hatts?" Owen blurted out. He shoved away from the crew and slowly made his way over to the strangers

Dom's eyebrows rose when the two wrapped Owen in a strong embrace. The man cupped the back of Owen's head and brought their foreheads together

It was honestly touching watching the tearful exchange

After a minute, Owen pulled back enough to whisper to the man and woman. He pulled completely away, one of their hands in each of his

"Guys," he called out to the crew in a wide smile. "I'd like you to meet my brother and sister. Deckard and Hattie."

Everyone was silent as they took in two more Shaws

"Fuck. There's three?" Han mumbled, speaking everyone's thoughts

I hope you enjoyed friend!

FOR ARTISTS AND WRITERS WHO NEED IT IT’S AMAZING

I know some of you need this! (you don’t need to have giant or tiny characters either. it’s a great ref for everyone!)

So I've seen the huskerdust theory that Husk would gamble to get Angel's soul back. However, I'd like to offer an alternative. Angel gambles Alastor for Husk's soul. Not only are these higher stakes because Angel doesn't probably have as good as gambling skills as Husk. He could offer Alastor his life, which Alastor might take because it would mess with Val, which would mess with Vox. Think of Husk having to watch a game that he can't have anything to do. He can't use his skills to help his beloved. The angst he would feel and the fear of losing Angel. I think it would make for a very juicy story and I might have to write that.

Something that finally clicked for me when watching Hadestown live,

Hades gives Orpheus the test that he himself goes through every spring.

This really solidified in my brain when I noticed that Hades gets the red flower and is connected more solidly to the other couple. While I always understood they were mirrors, somehow the trial itself and the significance of what Hades is asking Orpheus to do never really hit me until I watched it.

But I realized that what Hades might be thinking here is, well- you may judge me for losing faith in my wife over the long course of our relationship, missing her for months at a time with few others to talk to or support me. Let's see if this romantic, bleeding heart can do that, can feel the absence of his love and his community and still keep trusting her, himself, and the system.

And he can't- one of the major themes of Hadestown is that working together and building community rather than isolating yourself and hoarding wealth is better for the heart, mind, and soul. So taking away the walls and shades and Eurydice who were supporting Orpheus leads to him doubting himself and those people and ultimately looking back.
