    Summary

    Soulmate AU: Soulmates find their other half when they look into their eyes. After the next time they sleep, they wake with one eye the color of their intended.

    Will Graham avoids eyes. He's never wanted a soulmate, never wanted to be told by the universe who he was supposed to feel a connection to. He already struggles enough with connections, thank you very much. As a psychiatrist, he works with soulmates who have lost their other half through various means, part of a social system that regards the journey to your soulmate as the most important thing a person can do. Coerced by Jack Crawford to consult on a case where the assailant is targeting soulmates, Will finds himself turning to the notorious Dr. Lecter to gain insight on how he's choosing the soulmates to target.

    Things go horribly awry when he looks into Hannibal's eyes, though. The next morning, he wakes up with one eye blue, the other maroon. He's never wanted a soulmate, least of all one behind bars for murdering dozens of people and eating them. Hannibal thinks it's delightful -it's been dreadfully boring since he was locked up.

    Summary

    Selfishly, all he can think of, a repetitive and intrusive mantra in his head, is that he doesn’t want to die alone. He wants to feel the sure pressure of Hannibal’s arms around him, his large, steady hands. He wants to sink back into the certainty that he had when he had thrown them both off of the cliff only minutes ago, because there had been nothing else- but that feeling is so far gone now that Will can’t remember what it was like at all. It’s barely a ghost, now.

    Summary

    A bounty hunter finds them in south Texas, Hannibal takes exception to his treatment of Will, and Will gets a look behind the veil. The working title for this was "Hannibal does something terrible" and that's pretty accurate.

    Summary

    Perhaps what is called for is nothing so simple and clean as separation or joining. It will have to be a field amputation, of sorts. Fast and brutal, and neither of them entirely whole afterwards. But, perhaps, survivable. He will have his dogs and some shredded version of his life back. Maybe he’ll move somewhere warm, and leave no forwarding address. Maybe Abigail will stay in her grave instead of following him. Hannibal will have music and art and blood, freedom somewhere far away. If Will makes the cut clean enough, Hannibal may keep his distance. People have built new lives on less, surely.

    Or: A little Digestivo fix-it fic because sometimes you just want your beloved characters to USE their WORDS and avoid several more years of pain.
