    Summary

    "It's understandable for you to empathize with the victim as well, when you step in the mind of a killer," Hannibal said. "Fear, pain, violation, and death. Repeating the fantasy in the safety of your head so that you can regain control over the experience."

     

    "My head doesn't feel very safe," Will muttered.

    Hannibal inclined his head. "The methods we use to protect ourselves from monsters can become monstrous in their own right. Your mind seeks to protect you when you are overwhelmed, and maybe you see yourself as a victim in order to prevent yourself from actually becoming one."

    "Or to prevent myself from becoming the killer."

    "The two become one. If you destroy yourself, you cannot hurt others, and similarly, no one can hurt you."

    This is (more or less) platonic prostate massage. As unconventional therapy.

    Summary

    Hannibal’s eyes lit up. It was the most he had heard the man speak, and he was enchanted. “Tell me, Will, what weaknesses do those in my profession possess?”

    The barista’s curls bounced as his head rose suddenly, glasses pushed up his nose by a clumsy hand and oh, there was that eye contact. Who knew that the colour blue could be so blisteringly hot? Flames seemed to radiate from him, little slithers of a deeply contained seething energy escaping through the cracks of his physique.

    “Narcissism, for one—” the man almost hissed the word, and Hannibal’s smile turned into a grin, “—a tendency towards smugness in spite of ignorance, the common act of mistaking an expensive tutelage for legitimate erudition, not to mention a complete deficiency in regards to empathy.”

    It's coffee shop AU time, baby!

    Will Graham is a sulky barista, and Hannibal Lecter is... Well, he's Hannibal Lecter.
