YES! One of my favorite Hannibal writers, writing one of my favorite Hannibal plot tropes? Sign me up. Seeing Zeller in this capacity was really fun, and I definitely giggled at his concern that bugs would eat his eyes if they left him there - I don't know if that was supposed to be funny, but it hit me in that specific Hannibal Morbid Funny Bone. Also, I really loved these couple bits in particular:
His hand brushed another in the dark, caught, and held. He had that heard drowning victims experience euphoria in the moments before death, which explained the swell of his heart as he pulled Hannibal in close against his chest again.
and
Naked and pale and bloody, he should've looked vulnerable. He had earlier when Will had hauled him out of the water. Now he dominated the small room. Zeller pressed back against the wall to get farther away from him.
Love the imagery and emotion packed into those lines! Can't wait to read more :)
