Summary
Will is a runaway submissive in a world where being submissive gives you nearly no rights at all. He breaks into the house of Hannibal Lecter who captures him and is interested enough after Will recognizes him as the Chesapeake ripper to try to claim him.
Alana, he is the Chesapeake ripper, Will wanted to shout but he couldn´t through the gag.
He looked at the offending object pointedly but Alana shook her head. “No, you only get to make one decision right now: Either you stay the submissive of Mason Verger or you take Hannibal´s generous offer and give yourself into his care. Since you refuse to behave yourself you don´t get to talk: shake your head if you want to stay with Mason or nod for trying it with Hannibal.”
Will´s gaze fell on Hannibal´s self-satisfied expression. The man had known that calling Alana would put Will in an impossible situation where he had the choice between staying on his own free will or declining and giving the serial killer the perfect opportunity to get rid of him while he was still helpless.

Summary
Will’s life had been a sequence of people having power over him and abusing it: Starting from his father, to his teachers, his superiors in the FBI to the many dominants that followed. Now it was time to finally take the guiding theme of his life and turn it on its head. Finally he could stand far above the means of Mason Verger.
Hannibal Lecter’s life had always been one of power. He was born as a noble dominant in Europe and even as life took his little sister from him he managed to get his revenge, lording over those who hurt her. He had stood over his peers as a surgeon and psychiatrist. He had stood over the swine he ate. Actually he had stood apart from his fellow man far enough that most connections he had were fleeting at best. Until he met Will. Maybe he could learn how to make himself small enough to have a proper relationship.
Margot Verger’s life consisted of one man having power over her and abusing it. Maybe she’d finally be rid of him with some help.
Abigail Hobbs had always stood far above the girls surrounding her on the throne she and her father had made out of their flesh and bones.
Four variations of the same Leitmotif and how might they interconnect.
