weathered chains : autism x cptsd

Meurcliff AU based on a personality swap.

Heathcliff's liveliness has gone flat, investing more effort into keeping himself alive through depressing times and with the death of his girlfriend Catherine. To get back at the family that raised him with an iron fist he becomes a mortician and takes control of their death rites and bodies. As he lets the rest of the living family watch as the wretched rot in unkept graves, Catherine's body is kept in a coffin meant to preserve her beauty until he can "find the perfect spot", or until he can let go.

Meursault becomes unruly, using the sun as her enraging patron, striking down those who break taboo with fervor. Her steps become loud and her voice overbearing. After a dispute with her mother, and a bullet lodged in her heart, Meursault must contact someone with a degree of knowledge in the dressing of a body, to make it look natural and, most importantly, like she cared for her passing.
