It did happen sometimes, especially if the condemned was very slim and light. That was usually a disadvantage in execution, resulting in slow tortuous death by strangulation - but on the other hand, if you were incredibly lucky, there was a also a tiny chance it could result in your body only seeming dead until you miraculously sat up on the dissection table like William Duell in 1740. But then again, your miraculously sitting up on the dissecting table could so alarm the presiding surgeon that he then promptly beat you to death with a mallet like Ewen MacDonald in 1752.

But no amateur re-execution hour for this prompt, please! I'd like Hickey alive to fuck, fuck with, or at least flirt with Goodsir.

And consider the moral quandary for medical student Goodsir: help a criminal get away, or send a man who's technically already served his sentence and is arguably sort of Goodsir's patient back to gallows? Then again, how is he meant to tell the school that the new cadaver just got up and left? Where is he supposed to hide a whole fugitive - in his room?!

Bonus: Hickey doesn't manage to revive until just before Goodsir starts the dissection - or perhaps even right as he's starting the first incision. There's a meet cute for you!

OP I love this and I badly want to write it but I will NOT have time until midway through next week (so if someone else wants to fill it please do lol) but just know this is going to live rent free in my brain all weekend

(OP here)

:D! Excited to hear it, and no worries take your time!

It is one of those weird historical trivia rabbit holes that the second I heard it, immediately made me think of The Terror and especially this ship!

not the person who originally intended to write, and a tad late too, but this prompt greased my gears as a die-hard enjoyer of medical curiosities. if op is still around, and down for a clumsy, tangibly ESL fill, i would do it in the coming days. just too delicious to let it die (both Hickey and this prompt)

(OP)

I’m more than down, I’d love to see what you write! :D No pressure, of course, but yes, please give Hickey his much (un)deserved second chance at life.

btw i havent abandoned this idea, and never will, however long it may take me, just got wound up in idleness and junkie behaviour lately
https://privnote.com/XFCG7Yeo#9WEHwHn9Q you can hit me up on discord to track progress, will post it on ao3 later

(OP)

Ooh, very glad to hear it!! :D I do not have discord but I will certainly watch both here and on AO3 for when you post it!
