“What do you see, Will?” Hannibal asks him, crouching down. “Young human,” Will says. His nostrils flare as he breathes in. “She smells…sad.” “Afraid,” Hannibal confirms, his own nose twitching. “Can you hear anything?” Will holds up a hand, and tilts his head to listen. “I know it’s late.” That must be the young one. “I’m really sorry, I just need -. I need to adopt one. The biggest and smartest one you have. Please. I can pay in cash, whatever you need. You’re the only guys still open.”

What started as a way to relieve boredom and learn a new skill to help him sustain his hermit life quickly evolved into something more - until Will Graham could confidently and proudly say that he was Hannibal Lecter’s biggest fan. And he would have been perfectly content with harboring this “little” crush for the rest of his days without doing anything about it had Beverly not intervened.

Summary: Will Graham is a shadow, the head of one of the largest gangs on the eastern seaboard. His reach stretches from drug trafficking to murder, but killing a man in broad daylight sets off a chain of events that will threaten not only his kingdom, but the lives of his loved ones. He is instructed to employ a bodyguard, and manages to find the one man who can lie to his face, Hannibal Lecter. The combined pressure from Jack Crawford and his own unruly mobsters sets off the tempest that is Will Graham to thunder over everyone in his path.

“There are only two truths around here. Any man can be king for a night,” the younger man says with a wry grin and long drawl, sliding cards from the card shoe into tidy rows in front of himself and Hannibal. “But by the morning, the house always wins.”

—

An investigation into the deaths of casino hostesses in Las Vegas is made more interesting by a strange card dealer with an uncanny skill at reading guests at his table. Hannibal investigates the depth of his skill, and the card player surprises him with how truly acute it is.

Length: 7023 Words

Pairings: Will Graham/Hannibal Lecter

Warnings/Tags: Graphic Depictions of Violence

Summary: The Carver is a serial killer who’s modus operandi is to leave hand carved wooden animal effigies tucked lovingly into his victims chest, and Will Graham is on the case.. But with his own grip on reality spiraling drastically out of his control, and with a psychiatrist who may not be acting in his best interests, is he up for the job..?  Preview:  Will blinks and gasps for breath, disoriented as he takes in his surroundings. He’s-

 In the woods, the scent of decaying leaves floods his senses, heavy at the back of his throat..

At the crime lab, holding a wooden figure of a fox that’s encased in an evidence bag in his gloved hands.. He turns it slowly, listening as Beverly speaks to him- “It was found in her chest cavity where her heart should be…. Same as the last one, with the bird.. Different kind of wood, though….”

On his fathers boat, a block of wood in his small hands as he carefully shaves it down with the pocket knife his father had given him for his tenth birthday- Only the blade slips and slices deep into the pad of his thumb, and bright red wells up from the cut and soaks into the woods absorbent fibers..

He’s in his yard..

Warnings: n/a

They can meet only rarely, when the vividness of their lives merges into a dusky grey. These moments live in the in-between, that space where mortals make their more ambiguous choices. There, Hannibal and Will meet, and discuss, and come away from the table with a decision in hand.

Will and Hannibal are minor gods of mortal decisions.

Summary: Hannibal Lecter, founder and visionary behind Lecter Ltd, wakes up twenty years in the future after the betrayal of his business partners. Where artificial intelligence had been a fledgling technology in his own time, the world is fully inundated with it now, to include the full integration of artificial humans, or Artifices, within society. As he navigates this new world with a stranger that seems to know him better than he knows himself, Hannibal is plagued by one driving thought. To seek revenge against those who stole his life.

Preview:

Dr. Hannibal Lecter was a man out of time.

Not in the sense that the hourglass of his life had prematurely been emptied of its granules, but rather that it had been placed upon its side. Paused, in effect, until it could be picked up again. The last memories of his life had been so painfully ordinary, by his standards, until they abruptly weren’t; devolving swiftly into betrayal and an unfamiliar helplessness that had burned bright up until the moment his world went dark.

As the founder and lead architect of Lecter Ltd, he had spent nearly every waking moment of the eight years prior to that moment dedicated to the fulmination of the ANA Project. Artificial Neural Assistants, known as ANAs in the common vernacular, had built upon the fledgling principles of true artificial intelligence to revolutionize the synergy between man and machine. Through the use of a neural net laid out over the delicate whorls of the brain, a synthetic mind was partnered to a living one, creating a symbiotic relationship between man and machine. In a world of ever evolving technology, Lecter Ltd provided a way to give fallible human minds a digital advantage in a way the changing world had never known.

Or so he had led them all to believe.
