after being diagnosed with his disease and the later death of his boyfriend/fiance/husband/whatever, shiro becomes obsessed with the desire to eliminate death, excelling at miskatonic university and generally liked except that he gets very indignant about death and anyones attempt to just dismiss it or whatever

keith is some young pluck to comes to the school and meets shiro and becomes fascinated with him and his perspective on life and death and ends up just... fucking following him into his stupid plans because hes just so awestruck with shiro

shiro being dismissed from the university and keith following him into the country side or whatever it is they do in the story

THE TWO OF THEM GRAVE ROBBING. THATS WHAT GETS ME HERE

lmao

keith, narrator style gushing about how fascinating and incredible shiro is

basically already canon

i also just genuinely love the idea of the mental collapse there. like the first near success to bring the body to life and like adam ive done it

and then the body coming after shiro. THE STRESS TURNING HIS HAIR GRAY

this will be my halloween mood forever

spoopy sheith has arrived

MAYBE ILL DO THAT AS A SIDE PROJECT THIS MONTH OR SOMETHING. RELISTEN TO HERBERT WEST AND WRITE THE SHIT OUT OF THE AU.....

CAUSE LIKE GODDAMIT IF IT DOESNT FIT THEM AMAZINGLY
