For brownie points: add why in the tags

(For context, Vivzipop did say in one of her lives that one of the main six would die)

Luke: You know what strength is? Forgiving a person who hasn’t even said sorry.

Deckard: Not to be dramatic, but I’d literally rather die.

A soulmate is a best friend, but more. It’s the one person in the world who knows you better than anyone else. It’s someone who makes you a better person. Actually they don’t make you a better person, you do that yourself. Because they inspire you. A soulmate is someone that you carry with you forever. It’s the one person who knew you and accepted you and believed in you before anyone else did. And no matter what happens you’ll always love them. Nothing can ever change that.

Tim: God, give me patience.

Jason: I think you meant "give me strength."

Tim: If God gave me strength, you'd all be dead.

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!

Can we have more Letty Shaw please? 😁 Also, question: does Letty end up with Dom in this AU? 'cuz I'd love some overprotective siblings, only to give up when they realize that their wild sister was bound to fall for another loco eventually

Absolutely friend! I'm loving this idea! And yeah, I think I will have Letty ending up with Dom. Mostly because I don't really ship her with anyone else and I love the idea of Dom now having to get through three other Shaws to get to Letty 😂

First part is here

~~~

Deckard was nearly sprinting down the street as he rushed towards his little siblings' school

It was Letty's first day at school with Owen and Hattie, and now Deckard was going to be late picking them up

He honestly hadn't meant to take a nap after his shift at his part time job, but he had just been so tired

And had woken up to only having ten minutes to get to the school that was several blocks away

Jumping around a gaggle of teenage girls, Deckard could see the school in the distance, with kids still pouring out

Maybe his siblings wouldn't notice that he was running late

He didn't need Letty think he didn't care

The little girl was the same age as Owen, but didn't have his level of cockiness. She'd need a bit more time with the other Shaw brother for that to happen

Instead, she had been quiet and reserved as she watched Deckard and his siblings go about their normal lives. Letty was still getting used to London and everything else in their country

But, she had kept Deckard up late, asking all sorts of questions about European cars. That probably explained why he needed a nap so badly

Finally slowing his pace, Deckard stopped a short distance from the entrance of the school and tried to look over all the kids' heads to spot his siblings

And found them standing at the entrance with one of their teachers

"Shit!" Deckard muttered under his breath and waded through the throng of kids towards them

As he got closer, he could see Hattie holding Owen's hand tightly and shuffling her feet nervously. No doubt because of the way both Owen and Letty were glaring up at the teacher

Owen was holding Hattie close to him as he tried to puff his chest out. He looked the furthest thing from intimidating

Meanwhile, Letty had her arms tightly crossed and her face was dark with anger

Just what I bloody needed, Deckard thought to himself as he approached the small group. The teacher didn't look particularly happy to see him

"Deckard." Ms. Applebottom said in a clipped voice. "I supposed your mother isn't in town."

"No, she isn't. Left this morning." Deckard lied easily. Their mother never wanted to be bothered with their schooling, especially if it was about any antics or shenanigans they got into. "But I can talk if you'd like."

"I shouldn't have to talk to a child about another child's behavior!" She snapped

Deckard bristled. He was hardly a child! He was already fourteen!

"Then let my siblings go and I'll have my mum call you." Deckard said firmly, sending his own glare up at the woman

"And never receive a response?" She hissed. "No, I'll talk to you, at least you can handle these two, now three."

Out of the corner of his eye, Deckard could see all three of his siblings puffing up like angry cats and ready to claw the woman to pieces

"Fine. Lead the way." Deckard gestured to the teacher and grabbed Owen's hand, who squeezed his hand tightly. Glancing over, he held out his other hand for Letty, who was too upset to take it

Making a small train, Deckard led Owen by the hand, who had Hattie's hand, with Letty walking next to Owen. The teacher barely looked back at them as she led them to her classroom

"You three sit there while I talk to your brother. And don't you dare try anything!" Applebottom snarled at the younger Shaws

Deckard instinctively put himself between her and them

Keeping his back straight, Deckard met her gaze evenly. If she wanted at them, she'd have to go through him. She only sneered at him

Following her into the classroom, Deckard sat across from her as she fixed a glare at him

"Where the bloody hell did your mother find that little American?"

"Letty's always been our sister."

"Please," the woman snorted. "She's far to savage to be part of your family! Just listen to the way she speaks! The kind of language and slang she uses! Completely uncivilized."

"She speaks just fine." Deckard said through gritted teeth

"If she continues to speak that way to me, I will have her removed from my class entirely and away from your brother."

Deckard clenched his fist

The only way they had even gotten Letty to agree to go to the school was promising she could be with Owen

"She's still getting used to the city, she needs to be with Owen." Deckard tried to explain

"Then she better learn quickly." Applebottom snapped. "I am not taking her attitude anymore!"

Deckard swore he could feel one of his veins in his forehead pop from how tightly his jaw was clenched

"I'll talk to her." He said roughly

"See that you do." The teacher sniffed. "What was your mother thinking taking in a street urchin like her?"

That was the last straw

Standing too quickly, Deckard knocked over his chair as he seethed at the woman, who stared at him with shocked eyes

"That's my little sister you're talking about!" Deckard hissed and leaned closer. "I don't care if she badmouthed you, but it seems like she needed to so you could get that stick out of your arse!"

The woman gapped at him, speechless

Not giving her time to recover, Deckard stormed out of the room

To almost trip over three small bodies that were crowded around the door eavesdropping

"Come on." Deckard grunted

He held his hand out for Owen's and received it quickly. Glancing over at Letty, he held his hand out for hers again. This time, she didn't hesitate to put hers in his

This time, Hattie was holding onto Letty's hand as Deckard led them out of the school

They were all quiet for the first block when Letty gently tugged on Deckard's hand

"I'm sorry for causing trouble." She mumbled

Deckard sighed and shook his head. Looking down at her apologetic eyes, he smiled

"Dont worry, Oh gets into a lot more trouble than you ever will. We're used to it."

"Yeah!" Owen chirped. "Applebum already hates me!"

Letty giggled at the nickname and Deckard was glad to see the severe look that had been on her face disappear and be replaced with a smile

"Deck?" Hattie spoke up

"Yeah?"

"Can we get ice cream?"

"We have food at home, Hatts." Deckard sighed

"Please? Can we?" Letty begged

"Yeah, Deck! Let's do it!" Owen exclaimed and tugged on Deckard's arm

Rolling his eyes, Deckard steered them down a side street

"Fine." He huffed

But smiled as he heard three cheers of excitement

~~~

I hope you enjoyed friend!

I love the legitimate fear in his eyes here.

It's less that he's shaken by the fact that he almost died, and more by the fact that he would have died a hero. A man willing to die for the justice of the denizens of Hell, believing in the friends he has to carry out the mission. And it's THAT fact, that possibility that his reputation would have been RUINED if not for pure dumb luck on his part, scares him. He would have been fine dying, he wouldn't give a shit if it was in the blaze of glory. But the fact that he would have died a HERO is what scares him more.

THAT'S how you write a good villain.
