BYSSHE

"The fascination with fire-arms was one of many elements in Shelley's character which Hogg, a very down-to-earth personality despite all his masterly sarcasms, could never really account for. Another was Shelley's almost maniac disregard, on certain occasions, for the commonplace decencies of public normal public behaviour, as the time when he seized a baby out of its mother's arms while crossing Magdalen Bridge and began earnestly to question it about the nature of its Platonic pre-existence so that he might prove a point in an argument he was having with Hogg concerning metempsychosis."

For the AU Meme, team-semtex asked:

Byron/Shelley, Keats; postapocalyptic, dystopian Britain

I was trying to come up with some sort of fic thing, but all I can think of is: Byron and Shelley are an item and Byron spends his days protecting Shelley from the zombies who want to kill him. Keats meanwhile apparently likes fuzzy handcuffs, and spends most of his days in the makeshift lab he’s set up in his home, working on something secret he won’t tell Byron about. But then Shelley gets bitten and Byron is forced to kill him, which is too much for him. He learns that Keats had a supply of medicine that could have saved Shelley’s life, but was keeping it to use on Fanny, who was also seriously ill, and that Shelley knew but urged Keats to save it for a better case. In a fit of anger prompted by his grief and general dislike of Keats/his poetry, Byron kills him. And I don’t know what happens to Byron after that.
