Summary
Pre-heat left him short-tempered and irritable, even worse than usual, but Hannibal had lingered in his office doorway and said, “Come along, Will. No reason to grade on an empty stomach.”

Will’s hand tightened around the stem of his wine glass. “I don’t,” he said shortly. “They leave. I don’t expect them to stay.”
“You give them no opportunity,” Hannibal said, and he sounded admiring. “They’re inferior, unproven, not worthy of even so much as the small taste you give them.”
“And what makes you think you’d be any different?” Will snapped, looking up at him.
Peeking around the edges of Hannibal’s usually still expression was something that felt dark and dangerous and hungry, and it made a shiver run down Will’s spine.
“Oh, my dear Will,” Hannibal said. “I am not so easily chased away.”

Summary
“We all wear masks, and the time comes when we cannot remove them without removing some of our own skin.”
― André BerthiaumeWill Graham, a man who is as haunted as he is gifted by his ability to empathize with even the most deranged minds, has spent the last four years carving out something resembling a normal life for himself in Wolf Trap, Virginia. A nice home, a steady teaching career, and a few acquaintances that politely ignore his eccentricities... it's everything that he never dared to allow himself to dream of having. But when Jack Crawford shows up at his door with the chance for Will to enter the field, he finds himself unable to resist the thrill of the hunt for a killer.
What starts as a simple consultation quickly spirals out of control as Will's talents and presence on the case become publicized and draw not only a combination of support and ridicule, but also cause a long dormant serial killer to emerge. The Chesapeake Ripper strikes again, for the first time in years, luring Will Graham down a dark path of murder and betrayal; as well as into an entanglement with the strange and enigmatic Dr. Hannibal Lecter.

Summary
With a single shot fired from Jack Crawford's gun, Will Graham has been permanently branded as The Chesapeake Ripper. Betrayed by his friends, abandoned by his colleagues, and left to rot in mental hospital for the criminally insane, his fate is sealed the moment that he meets Dr. Hannibal Lecter; a new psychiatrist brought in by the FBI to finally prove Will's guilt, once and for all, and move on from this public embarrassment.
The only problem?
Hannibal decides that he likes this man who's unwittingly stolen his title. And it's just plain rude for anyone to stand between them.

“You do not trust easily,” Hannibal surmises, watching with fascination at the ever-shifting shape of darkness behind Will’s eyes. Like clay trying desperately to take the shape of art on its own, without a guiding hand. Misshapen and desperate for a form of its own. “Is it Alana Bloom you are speaking of? The friend who you trusted so completely?”
He stiffens in his seat. “Yes.”
“Then, perhaps, it would be in my best interest to inform you that I am here on Alana Bloom’s recommendation to Jack. I mentored her when she was a student.”
It would be fascinating to see how quickly the walls go up behind Will Graham’s gaze were it not so unfortunate to lose the sight of the light and dark that wage war behind it

Summary
“You’re not going to try to discourage me, Will?”
Another glance, a pursing of lips. “... No. I can see the determination in your face. You know what you want and you have the means to obtain it. Most clients think they know what they want- until they hear how long it will take and how much that work will cost. We’ll work out some numbers, of course, and draft a contract. If you’re willing to be patient with the piece then I’m willing to give it my best go.”
A small, pleased smile spread across the psychiatrist’s face. “I think this is the start of a beautiful partnership, Will. I look forward to working with you.”

His easy smile returned and he took another bite. “Perhaps that is what I am most excited about. I do not know how this will end but it promises to be interesting no matter how the chips fall.”
She regarded him for a moment, taking a measured breath. “I imagine being under your scrutiny is a heavy weight. If you are looking for company take care not to crush him.”
“I’ve heard it said that the most beautiful flowers bloom under adversity.”
“Most flowers die. It’s the weeds that tend to live on.” She hummed.

Bookmarker's Notes
In those moments Hannibal could give up the pretence that his fascination was anything so mild as love. Every thought bent toward him, each moment without him stretched thin with hunger. To understand him was to remake the world. Even now, Hannibal could not bring himself to feel true regret for getting to see his husband so intimately.
The closest he could come was what he felt at this moment, looking into the eyes of the creature Will had become in their time apart. His human suit was expertly crafted right down to the hand grasped between Hannibal's own. Not as Hannibal’s was, a disguise meant to trick his prey into not seeing the danger stalking them. No, Will’s suit was meant to keep his true self in, tied up in muscle and sinew to prevent it from bursting out and wreaking carnage. A cage, with the most beautiful monster gnawing at the bars.
