    Summary

    After avoiding capture in Baltimore, Hannibal escapes to Europe with Bedelia. However, their relationship is less than ideal, so he's easily swayed by the attention of a man who just so happens to look exactly like the man that broke his heart back in the States.

    Waking up after almost dying, Will realizes that he won't be able to move on with his life without seeing Hannibal at least one more time. He has questions that need answers, so he will cross oceans to find the man who left him behind. However, when he finds Hannibal, it seems he's moved on with someone who looks strangely familiar.

     

    (Or, instead of killing Antony, Hannibal starts a fling with him while in Florence in an attempt to move on from Will. It doesn't work, especially when Will suddenly shows up in Italy looking for him. Diverging from Antony's death S3E1.)

    Summary

    ( À feu doux : over a slow heat. )

    The Dragon has been slain, and the Atlantic Ocean crashes against the cliffside.

    Will Graham almost drowns. But he doesn't. He is pulled from the ocean and into the arms of something just as ferocious.
    Hannibal will not let him die, even if it means he has to fight God himself. So Will returns the favor.

    "The pain fades. It’s peaceful. For a few moments. But Will isn’t allowed peace. Of course he isn’t."

    Summary

    This is a time-travel fix-it (sort of). After Will pulls them off the cliff, Hannibal wakes up on the day he met Will.

    He proceeds to experience a lot of different loops where he tries to do things differently so they'll end up closer to his ideal outcome, and then things that will create Will's perfect world, and then he just... he just wants to create the perfect life for the two of them. Will's perfect and his own perfect don't really mesh, and Hannibal begins to realize that maybe... maybe some of the things he did to Will were bad. Maybe he was wrong. Maybe he even regrets some of his choices.

    Hannibal learns the rules of time travel as he is forced to loop for what amounts to hundreds of years. He has to get it right. He has to fix whatever he did wrong. Because his real body and his real Will are still falling, and until Hannibal gets this right, he won't be able to save them.

    Summary

    The first hunger was the fiercest. Accepting change meant accepting the absolute destruction of the past, but in order to accept it in this way, one first needed absolution, revenge, justice, and finally, communion.

    Summary

    Will dies in the fall, and Hannibal discovers that Gods have only ever been crafted of devotion and belief, that love and faith share their genesis in hunger.

    “All peoples are driven to the point of eating their gods after a time: it’s the old greed for a plateful of outer space, that craving for darkness. The lust to feel what it does to you when your teeth meet in divinity, in the flesh.”

    —Margaret Atwood, Eating Snake

    Summary

    Will took his time to admire the little doll in his hands, the sensation the cotton fabric gave in against his skin, soft and ever so tender to the touch, his eyes shining with a sense of childish joy at having some sort of toy. “How about you go home with me?” a low smile painted on his lips, tears swelled beneath his lashes but now it doesn’t hurt as much anymore. “I could use some company.” the child chuckled.

    In which Hannibal is a haunted doll while Will is in his early teen, they met up under odd circumstances but was able to make it work.

    Summary

    Hannibal Lecter spirals into his obsession with Will Graham (on many levels iykwim). Watch him quickly spiral into obsessive habits and stoop lower and lower. He sees the most intriguing man and falls head over heels for him, but in an unhealthy, obsessive way. Like in the series, but creepy rather than gentlemanly.

    Summary

    In the quiet hours of the night, Hannibal descends the stairs only to stumble upon a betrayal that shatters the fragile sanctity of his home. The kitchen—once a space of safety and scent-marked joy—is now desecrated by the sight of his alpha and their friend entangled in the deepest violation of pack trust.

    This is not a story of immediate forgiveness. This is a story of betrayal, fury, heartbreak, and the agony of rebuilding. Hannibal is pregnant. Will is desperate. Abigail is caught in the storm, and Mischa is too young to understand the silence replacing the laughter. This narrative explores the raw edges of love strained to the breaking point, the sacredness of a nest undone, and the impossibility of going back to what once was—unless the bond can be reforged through pain and grace.

    Two months. That’s the trial. And nothing is promised.

    Summary

    There are many terrifying things about the relationship between a deranged former profiler and his cannibalistic not-quite-psychiatrist but the “relationship” part beats all the others by miles.


    Set after The Fall, this shortfic explores the complex relationship between Hannibal and Will, seeing as “boyfriends” or “partners” seems too small a word for these two. All that packaged in a weirdly slice-of-life situation that started off silly and quickly got out of hand.

    Summary

    In a yearning disguised as violence, Hannibal kills to ease the pain of Will’s absence. What he doesn’t know is that it is Will who orchestrates these absences—a sadistic form of voyeurism, meant to witness the collapse of the man he loves.

    Summary

    " There is a gasp escaping from Hannibal’s lips, trembling and desperate. His nails dig into Will’s arm, clinging, sinking in, leaving behind their marks on him. His marks. Trails of reddened skin and exquisite pain. Blood and ache. That’s what Hannibal is. What Will craves. (...) His tongue lingers over Hannibal’s pulse point, feeling the rushing of blood through the artery just below. He sucks a bruise onto him. Two, three. He knows how to claim as well. "

    Summary

    "Will. This had all been for him. The carnage, the abandonment, the wildness of the night, the bodies lying ruined in the midst. And the girl, bleeding out on the kitchen floor, choking on her own life. Never to see adulthood, never to see what freedom might hold. Just like her."

    Hannibal Lecter deals with Abigail's death and the consequences of Mizumono.

    Summary

    Hannibal was looking at the bed in front of him.

    Will Graham was in prison, away from Hannibal, because of Hannibal.

    Hannibal hadn’t realized how much he had grown attached to Will. He hadn’t realized that carrying out his plan, the manipulations, the conversations in his office, would mean making himself vulnerable.
