The most stable elements, Clarice, appear in the middle of the periodic table, roughly between iron and silver. Between iron and silver. I think that is appropriate for you. — Hannibal Lecter

“Dr. Lecter held his glass up to the candle. The candle flared behind it as the sun flared on water, and the wine itself was the color of the winter sun on Clarice Starling’s skin. Her birthday was coming soon, the doctor reflected. He wondered if there was extant a bottle of Chateau d’Yquem from her birth year. Perhaps a present was in order for Clarice Starling, who in three weeks would have lived as long as Christ.”

Thomas Harris, Hannibal

Clarice’s birthday is December 23rd: “I’ll be thirty-three two days before Christmas.”

As others have said, your best bet is to read the books. They aren't long or difficult!

I had no idea that Hannibal was a novel originally. I'm shocked because the TV show is insanely popular, that I was considering watching it, not knowing that the novel is apparently better and also entirely different "characters"? Where can I read more about the shipping dynamic of Clarice and Hannibal, and how its a dark romance novel, I cant seem to find info online...

What???? Wdym you can't find anything?! This is a felony offense and I am upset, what? Give me two minutes to Google, brb.

...

Wow. Antis have been busy, I see. They've been hard at work scrubbing the internet of everything clannibal. Poor Thomas Harris.

Benjamin Raspael's head was a canon Valentine's Day present from Hannibal to Clarice. Hannibal is drawn to Clarice because he values the purity of her idealism, even though he knows it will ultimately be her downfall. Clarice is sacrificed at the altar upon which she worships, the Almighty F.B.I. (the patriarchy) when she inevitably steps out of line, and Hannibal raises her back into grace at his side by the end of the novel.

I wish I was well-versed and eloquent enough to unpack this universe for you. It's out there, I promise. Read the fanfiction. This is a ship that attracts truly educated authors.

me now seeing/hearing Hannibal's name over and over constantly:

That lamb sure is silent

I’d like to thank Jack Crawford for setting Clarice up on a blind date with her future husband

I would really prefer if politicians could keep the names of my favorite fictional characters out of their mouths.

                                        “And if, as you say, there’s room in me for my father,                                                  why is there not room in you for Mischa?”

[I]nstead of him, they chose his sister, Mischa, and led her away. To play, they said. No one who was led away to play ever returned. Hannibal held on to Mischa so hard…until they slammed the heavy barn door on him, stunning him and cracking the bone in his upper arm. He prayed so hard that he would see Mischa again, the prayer consumed his six-year-old mind, but it did not drown out the sound of the axe. 

[Her father] was a town marshal. One night he surprised two burglars, addicts, coming out of the back of the drugstore. As he was getting out of his pickup he short-shucked a pump shotgun and they shot him. He was strong. He lasted a month. […] And then another sound. A gurgle, a rattle and the whistling stopped. Starling knew that sound too. She’d heard it once before, at the hospital when her father died.
