How should your life b(As)e?



Answer



Building off @phenomist's answer:




The incorrect clue letters are all one- or two-letter chemical symbols; the proper letter is always a single letter.
In Down-then-Across order, the substitutions are (BI -> N), (GE -> V), (MC -> S), [P -> M], [SB -> E], [ZN -> I], [SE -> U], [AS -> I], [BR -> S], [N -> A], [CU -> S], [GA -> L]
Writing the single correct letters in the appropriate locations on a periodic table reveals two crossing A. S. names, "AMIENS" and "SILVIUS". The source of these names is a particular Shakespearean play, and the final answer.

Final answer: How should your life be?
