I can't help but feel a sense of impending doom while reading your radiohuskerdust fic, because if Alastor also being on a leash becomes part of this au, then Angel has a 4th owner. On other hand, it's kinda hilarious in messed up way, them forming a little chained up train of regrets
YES. YEAH. i hc that a good chunk of the way alastor tends to treat husk is just projection. alastor redirects his own helplessness and anger about his situation onto husk, who he thinks objectively deserves it, but he doesn't really do the same to angel because he doesn't really view angel as someone with the agency to offend his sensibilities the way husk did. in a roundabout, dehumanizing, and super condescending way, alastor is easier on angel just because there's not a lot of fun in exacting karmic retribution on someone who's like an abused shelter dog to him. though that changes eventually! but yeah angel's got owners-in-law through alastor and i'm sure none of them would be happy to have that particular secret spilled
