Summary
A young Hannibal Lecter is enrolled in a penpal program, and finds himself matched with a young American he only knows as "Etudiant Quatre." As time passes it becomes clearer and clearer that Quatre is remarkable and Hannibal wants, more than anything, to have a friend. Of course, Hannibal's version of friendship is a lot more possessive than Quatre may be able to understand. It's okay, though. They're a world apart. What's the worst that could happen?
An epistolary character study (in large part, let's be real I'm not exclusively writing 30 years worth of letters here) of our good murder boys. They meet when they are very young (8/9 and 13/14), and the story covers chapter by chapter roughly six month to one year increments between 1986 and 2016 where they write to one another and their lives intertwine. They are snarky and pretentious and their friendship is the only real thing either of them has to cling to. One day, they will meet, but under what circumstances? Whose design brings them together at last, 20 or 25 years later? This is a VERY slow burn, but burn it shall.

Summary
Instinct is a powerful motivator, and the ache for warmth in the coldest time of year is older than humanity, older even than the fossils in the Museum of Natural History.
When Hannibal comes to Randall with the task to kill Will Graham, Randall is aware of the manipulation that brought on his loyalty. Nevertheless, the craving for his former psychiatrist‘s approval and affection outweighs, and he gathers his things for what‘s without a doubt a suicide mission.
It doesn‘t go to plan, and he‘s thrust into a new existence that feels like freedom for the first time.
Or:
There are so little Randall Tier centric fanfictions that I'm desperate enough to write one myself.

Summary
A Season 2 AU in which Will Graham did not, at any point, accuse Hannibal of being the Chesapeake Ripper.
Will Graham is the smartest person most people will ever have the misfortune to meet. Hannibal Lecter has been no exception; he's brilliant, but his failing is that he assumes he's the mastermind in every situation. He still thinks Will didn't pick up on every weird joke, every coincidence, every threat disguised as a charming quip, every flashing neon sign that screams "Hannibal Lecter is the Chesapeake Ripper!"
Now, Will has to decide what he wants from Hannibal. For the first time in his life, it seems like there's a possibility that somebody might be close enough to his level for a real connection. Hannibal is an apex predator in a garish suit, blind to Will's superior camouflage, and the Ripper's obsession with Agent Graham is so obvious it's drawing attention from... undesirable sources. If Will can manipulate everything to his desired outcome, Hannibal could become the equal Will has always wanted.
If he wants to protect their fragile peace, it'll take a lot more than just Hannibal Lecter.
That's fine. After all, Will has never been able to stop himself at just one stray.
