[curiosity-killed]

Can I ask your top 10 fav fics ever (from any fandom, if you don't mind)?

Also, just curious, is there a story behind your name "curiosity killed"?

Anon this is an act of violence. Do u know how many fics are in my very favorite, most beloved bookmark??? It is More Than 10, let us say.

Many have been left off, tried to thin it down by ones that have particularly stuck with me in some way but also consider this list incomplete by at least 50+ fics

Honorable mentions go to the Not Easily Conquered series, Mikkeneko’s A Villain State of Mind, and And after, Rain by ThisBeautifulDrowning for also altering my like 15-16 yr old brain chemistry

AND the story behind my URL is typically silly tbh: my sister had a socmed account with a name that leveraged her name’s use in an idiom and I thought that was Super Neat. Unfortunately my name is not also a noun, so I went the idiom route with the revised version of “curiosity killed the cat.” Originally it was curiosity-killed18 bc it’s my fave number but dropped it pretty quick and now I’m just out here forever signing my art as Curio

The irony of this is: (1) I am a deeply curious person, to the point that it is one of the most used words to describe me, and (2) I love cats. That said, I do often regret things I learn on the internet, so maybe it’s a 9 lives type of deal

do you have any fic recs? i trust your taste lol

sooo sorry for taking so long anon!

you’ll see a lot of one-shots and shorter pieces here because i don’t really have the patience for longer fics. the ones listed here are all well characterized, introspective and i have a preference for fics which evoke the dreamlike and heightened quality of the show so there’s some softcore horror in here too, though i’m not really fond of “dead dove” stuff, just be mindful of the tags.

OH GODS FOR SURE i grew up on like. That particular brand of oil-painting–cover fantasy books all published in the 70s and 80s, and i attribute a lot of my general style to that. Theres also a good handful of fics that influenced me MIGHTILY-- The Hound Pits Coffee Shop and Cocktail Parlour by NeverwinterThistle is one, and Cipher by ThisBeautifulDrowning is another. Also Broken Places and its sequel by gaelicspirit!! Man these are a trip and a half down memory lane AKDNSKSNSJS my fandom history....

Exercise Fic Rec 10

This is my tenth week doing this!  And still going strong!  I though as a special treat, I would rec some of my favorite fics from the first fandom I got into, Hannibal.  But first, exercise fic recs!  I finished up my reread of “the cost of being a good dad” but then a *new* Superbat fic by Mawiiish was dropped.  I was Very Excited.  In the new fic, both Bruce and Clark are so dumb about their feelings.  So, so dumb.  It was great!  The third fic “end of the line” was written in the point of view of a drunk person who tried to get in a fight with Clark Kent.  Bruce is there to try to sooth things out.  Shenanigans ensue.  The next two fics are still in progress, but the updates were fun to read as I was exercising!

the cost of being a good dad by Mawiiish

Sure Thing by Mawiiish

end of the line by TheResurrectionist

Patroclus by LilyFlowerBat

Just A Little Bit... by HaleHathNoFury

Like I mentioned above, Hannibal was the first fandom I got into and started reading fan fics.  I remember reading the books as a teen and enjoyed them (I was a weird kid, don’t judge me), so when I heard there was a TV show, I was intrigued.  I think I watched the first couple episodes then stopped, but I kept on seeing gif sets, fan art, and memes on Tumblr, so I started watching again.  Then I started reading all the fan fic people were recommending on Tumblr.  It soon went all downhill from there for me, lol.

As someone with a meat science background, I always found the Hannibal books and TV show so interesting.  I remember when Hannibal and Will were discussing meat tasting “frightened”, and my meat sci brain perked up.  Short-term stress in hogs can cause a meat quality issue called PSE (pale, soft, and exudative (watery)).  Long-term stress can cause another meat quality issue in hogs and cattle called DFD (dark, firm, and dry).  I feel like if Hannibal was going to run into meat quality issues with his uhhh, preferred protein, it would probably be PSE, since what he’s hunting is undergoing short term stress.  Well, unless he decides to play with his food for a few days, then maybe he would get DFD meat.  If I remember correctly, he does reference a “metallic taste”, and that’s more prevalent in DFD meat.  PSE meat would be so dry and tough to eat, and not have a nice reddish-pink color.  He would probably have to grind and mix it with other proteins to make something tasty.  

All of these fics are Hannigram, except for “He Who Pours Out Vengeance”, but you can read that one as Hannigram (I think the second story in the series is slash, but it’s uncompleted).  Not going to lie, after going through my old bookmarks to find these, I’m really tempted to reread a few (and by few, I mean all, haha).

Anyway, here are some of my favorite Hannibal Fics!

Ladders series by emungere

What Dreams series by emungere

Blackbird by emungere

Page Six by ThisBeautifulDrowning

Pattern Break by ThisBeautifulDrowning

He Who Pours Out Vengeance by Underground

Shark Tank by xzombiexkittenx

Overcoming by purefoysgirl (I may or may not have this one in book form when the author published it. (I totally do.  They hold a special place on my book shelf))

There are plenty more favorites that I have, but these are just a few.  My AO3 page has all of my fan fic bookmarks, just sort for Hannibal if you want to check them out 😄

My obligatory coffee and pastry photo:

Spring is showing up at the arboretum! 

I just really like this tree that was along the river:

The moss along the path was kinda neat:

This is my favorite spot along the path and I always take pictures here:

A nice picture of a white-breasted nuthatch:

I also stopped by the local plant nursery and got some more flowers to feed my plant addiction.  I almost got a citrus tree, but I was strong and resisted (No I wasn’t, the only reason why I didn’t buy one because they were 60 dollars 😔)

[jakowskis]

i was summoned! hope you enjoy these

(these are all rated gen or teen unless otherwise stated. most of these contain ships, but they all provide good insight into owen as a person)

I saw you mention sickfic in your tags - might I suggest Tea and Sympathy by osprey_archer? Unless that's the one you read. It's Owen/Ianto, and it's a bit weird and cracky, but Owen's cute and frumpy in it. The author marked the fic as t-rated, but Chapter 4 is mature, jsyk.

5 Kisses Owen Doesn’t Talk About by pocketmouse - Owen/Team... This fic's a really beautiful exploration of his relationships with everybody. The Suzie, Ianto, and Tosh sections are romantic - the Jack and Gwen ones are platonic (and fantastically sweet). The Jack one's a particular favorite of mine, because lord knows those two are never that sweet in canon. The fic's mostly t-rated, I'd say, though the Ianto section's a bit spicy.

Three Times Owen, Tosh, and Ianto Slept Together, and One Time They Were Caught At It by Sholio - despite the title, this one's pretty tame (when it says they get caught, it's them all cuddling - oop, spoilers). This is, in fact, one of the cutest fics I've had the pleasure of reading in the fandom. The whole final part of it is so precious it's not even funny, and it's one of my favorite scenes in any fic ever.

with a bit of a mind flip by ariya167 - a gen bodyswap fic! Owen and Gwen, this time. It's really IC, you can hear all the voices. It's got a cozy vibe to it to me, for some reason - I think because Owen in it reminds me a lot of his Big Finish self, like how he is in the Owen & Andy audios, and that Owen has a specific vibe to me. Anyway, I like it a lot.

There Is Nothing Here Worth Saving by heddychaa - a lot of people have tried their hand at fics about Owen's childhood and his mother. I haven't read too many of them, because I don't have the strength, but this is a good one. Mind the warnings the author included.

I'm a big Owen/Ianto shipper and I've read just about every fic in existence of those two, so I hope you don't mind, I have a few recs for them as well. None are overly shippy, they're just sort of explorations of Owen and Ianto as people and in relation to each other, with an emphasis on Owen.

For starters - Clinging To The Wreckage Until I Got The Message by paperclipbitch. I adore this fic, and I adore this author (who has much more fic on LJ; I highly recommend all of their work). It only really gets romantic at the end, too; it's mostly just Ianto taking care of a self-destructing Owen, and them learning to understand each other by the end.

Experiments In A Minor by paperclipbitch. Another really fantastic one - Owen being self destructive again. Very lightly O/I; mostly friendship. They provide drunken insight on how fucked up they both are. It's brilliant.

A Trip, a Punch, and Willing by ThisBeautifulDrowning - there's not an author's note on the ao3 posting, but I also found this fic on LJ and the author said the prompt was simply 'Owen + flirting'. This is a Owen/Ianto fic that kind of touches on Owen's compulsive need to flirt, and it's done really well. It's also sort of The Last Beacon written at least five years before TLB was even released - they end up in the countryside again and share a hotel room. There's also a pillow fight. It's fun. I love this one a lot. Also, the M rating is unnecessary imo - I'd say it's a T. Probably only marked as M 'cause of Owen's potty mouth. Okay, that's the last of my O/I recs, I swear.

But He'll Get Me by paperclipbitch - I did say they were my favorite author. This fic is tagged as Jack/Owen, but it's extremely light (like, one line at the end, and even then it doesn't have to be read as romantic honestly). It's an exploration of if Jack had actually retconned Owen after End of Days, and the two of them air out some things out. Really good stuff.

Teething Problems by paperclipbitch - last one, I swear. This one's gen, and was written between s1 and s2 when everyone thought Owen would take over as leader.

Ceaseless by pocketmouse is a great study of how Torchwood further fucked Owen up. This author's one of my favorite TW writers, they really Understood him.

JeSuisGourde writes a lot of Owen-focused one-shots and drabbles.

Sholio also writes a lot of hefty-sized team-focused fics, with an emphasis on Owen.

does anyone have any good owen fic recs i need to shake that man in my teeth

Fanfic Rec #127 Will Graham/Hannibal Lecter (Hannibal) part 22

Hannibal: Forcing Our Darkest Souls to Unfold by IBegToDreamAndDiffer Clarice Starling needs help with a case, so she pays a visit to Will Graham, who's incarcerated in the Baltimore Sate Hospital with his partner.

T-I-J-P by ThisBeautifulDrowning “'m fine.” He doesn't feel fine. Maybe it's better if he heads back to the hotel. Or better yet, the police station. He can catch a break there and be around if something happens. “Just a bit dizzy. It'll pass.” The man studies him for a long, silent minute. Then he extends his hand in greeting. “Hannibal Lecter, MD. When was the last time you had a real meal?”

Off the Rack by plingo_kat “Dear Will,” Hannibal says, and Will knows -- knows -- that this isn’t going to end well. “This is not an invitation to an office party. Do you have plans for the rest of the day?”

Trade Secrets by HANNlBRAT Will Graham kills people because he gets paid good money for it. Hannibal Lecter kills people because he is a serial-killing cannibal. What happens when by pure chance, these two killers end up in the same place, at the same time, targeting the same guy? It's much easier to sabotage the growing attraction between them than to let it evolve into something serious. It's much easier to remain distant and deny feelings than to be vulnerable in front of each other. But in the end, behind all the spitefulness and venom, there is a mutual desire to be loved.

Hidden in plain sight by FantasyFreak_2 Vampires had taken over the world when Will had just become seven years old. They were unnatural fast, strong and healed from most injuries but they were also nearly blind in daylight mostly using their sense of smell to differentiate between human and vampire by their pheromones. Will Graham had managed to keep his freedom so far by utilizing one simple fact: Vampire bodies weren´t very different from human bodies so any human could release vampire pheromones if they only convinced their body that they were a vampire. Seems like that Empathy Disorder might come in handy. He just wished vampires wouldn´t produce the most pheromones while hunting, visiting a crime scene every other week was most likely not a healthy hobby.

[hannigramficsfix]

Will knew what had happened. He knew exactly how Abigail's ear had gotten into him, who had shoved it down his throat. He also knew that trying to indicate Hannibal as a killer again was futile. Jack seemed to want to believe him, going by the conversation in the BSHCI's visitor hall, but Jack needed something concrete, evidence. Hannibal had eluded capture for so long, he wasn't going to start leaving fingerprints or hairs at his crime scenes now. No, Will was going to deal with Hannibal Lecter on his own terms. The man deserved to reap what he'd so carefully sowed, didn't he? He deserved to experience what he'd coaxed forth from the bottom of Will's soul, to see the result of his machinations.

Pattern Break by ThisBeautifulDrowning

After his release from the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, Will doesn't return to work for the FBI.

The best Season 2 Canon Divergence fic I’ve read yet. I love that Will doesn’t just forgive Jack and move on. The experience of being in BSHCI and being betrayed by Hannibal changed Will in a way that sort of felt like a self-fulfilling prophecy. You wanted me to be the bad guy? You got it. 

[finitepeace]

i just realized that because I'm a sideblog, I cannot reply to the answers for this fic. but please know that your rec helped me a lot @sociallyawkwardwriter and @lee-da-vinci ! looking forward for your fic @morningstarbee !

fics mentioned:

🦌 The Fox’s Wedding by thehoyden | E, 11k, post S2 finale fix-it, hannibal took will to japan

Can Will still play Hannibal to get the evidence he and Jack need? Or is he playing a new game now?

Slip the Veil by ThisBeautifulDrowning | 21,844 words, Post-Mizumono | Will heals, and thinks, and follows his heart.

There Was Another Way by TimmyJaybird | 8k words, Hannibal had him, with the knife poised, ready to end the life he had wanted so badly with Will Graham, with the daughter they deserved. Yet, instead of the silence he expected, Will spoke, one simple sentence, “I would have found you.”

Eurydice by peppermintquartz | M, 11k words | Will took Hannibal's offer to leave before the dinner with Jack. They are now in a smaller town, and they have new lives. Will can't decide if this is better than before.

is there any hannigram fic out there where will answered yes after hannibal asked him to run away together at the dinner in season 2?

12 Days of Ficmas - Day 10

Day 10: School (college, university, high school, teachers) OR Friends to lovers/enemies to lovers 

Title: Into Dust by ThisBeautifulDrowning Fandom: Star Trek-The Reboot Movies Pairing: Khirk (James Tiberius Kirk/Khan Noonien Singh)

I want to give a very serious warning about this story: this one is dark, very dark, both from the descriptions to the plot.

The premise of this story continues on from the ending of Into Darkness and the potential uses of Khan’s super blood, resulting in turning all of humanity into a kind of super race. All those who oppose get beaten down and killed mercilessly.

Into this scenario throw Jim Kirk, angry and full of hatred, who lost his crew and ship, who had to live though his best friend committing suicide out of the guilt of what his discovery created. Now throw this Kirk into the same room as a just-defrosted Khan who would do anything to get the last of his crew back.

They would burn down the Reborn Empire until nothing but ashes were left, or die trying.

[hhannigram]

Do you have any recommendations for the most in character fics you’ve read? <3

oooh this is a good question. i don't really leave any bookmarker tags on the fics i read, but i can do a quick run-through my bookmarks to see the most memorable writers!

..

emungere and ThisBeautifulDrowning and BonesAndScales come to mind the most <3

have a look at my previous recs, i rarely go for wildly out of character fics (tho there are some, especially some wild AUs): here and here

[hannigramficrecs]

Hey, do you have any "long" (30k up only) hannigram fics, with hannibal's pov (preference, but not absolutely necessary) of AUs, like the best long fic AUs you can think of, like time-travel, different meetings, abo, etc.

No vampire, mermaids or werewolves au tho.

If you can, of course. Thank you alredy 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I’m not sure if these are all Hannibal’s POV, but here are a list of all my favorite long AU’s (sorry if I included too many LOL). Also if anyone’s interested here are links to the mermaid and werewolf fics

Prison, Will thought absently, was similar to college.

“Did you just smell me?” "Difficult to avoid. My apologies, I didn’t realize there were any Omegas in this section of the prison.” “Most get sent to the Omega Holding Facility two counties over. But then, most don’t get done in for rippin’ out an Alpha’s throat in the middle of the street.” or Hannibal Lecter had always known the winding road of fate may one day lead him straight to a prison cell.

Will is an Omega who desires independence and freedom. Hannibal is an Alpha who finds his mind curious. They make a deal: if Will can convince Hannibal that he is worth more than breeding stock, and can go through his heat without begging for his Alpha, Hannibal will not mate him, but make him a ward instead; Will could go to college, get a job, do anything he wanted. If not, then he will be Hannibal’s mate, bear pups, and accept his role. But is it really as simple as that?

Fanfic Rec #77 Will Graham/Hannibal Lecter (Hannibal) part 9

Pattern Break by ThisBeautifulDrowning Will knew what had happened. He knew exactly how Abigail's ear had gotten into him, who had shoved it down his throat. He also knew that trying to indicate Hannibal as a killer again was futile. Jack seemed to want to believe him, going by the conversation in the BSHCI's visitor hall, but Jack needed something concrete, evidence. Hannibal had eluded capture for so long, he wasn't going to start leaving fingerprints or hairs at his crime scenes now. No, Will was going to deal with Hannibal Lecter on his own terms. The man deserved to reap what he'd so carefully sowed, didn't he? He deserved to experience what he'd coaxed forth from the bottom of Will's soul, to see the result of his machinations. --- After his release from the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, Will doesn't return to work for the FBI.

Jack’s Not Gonna Like This by ForbiddenInterests Former cop–present Quantico teacher–active special agent–currently undercover Will Graham lost all sanity the moment his words–the ones he's always cherished in his low points–were spoken to him from the mouth of the Chesapeake Mafia's leader in an underground facility, while held to a wall in chains, and with growing bruises all over his body pulsing red hot pain through his already demolished psyche.

The Back Foot by spqr When Hannibal finds out that the hooker he’s spent the last month romancing up and down the isle of Manhattan is also the author of the NYT’s monthly Dark Minds column, he reacts much the same way Will expects a normal man would react upon finding out his new girlfriend could deep throat.

Quicksilver by Weconqueratdawn Will is a 19 year old, genderfluid psychology student, who meets Hannibal for a paper he’s writing. Hannibal has no chill whatsoever. A fic which happened because of a conversation I had with theseavoices, who has made some incredible art to go alongside this. I blame her :)  At the sound of the door opening, Will looked up and his eyes briefly flicked over Hannibal's form in the doorway before he stood up. Distantly, Hannibal noted that it had been some time since he’d been this wrong-footed, and took a moment to appreciate that fact. Perhaps he had got into the bad habit of assuming he couldn't be surprised anymore.  “Dr Lecter? I'm Will Graham.” Will extended his hand to shake Hannibal's, his palm warm and soft and sure. “Thank you again for agreeing to meet with me.”      +Quicksilver Timestamps.

Ananta by canis_m How it might have gone in one of the other worlds, one where Hannibal didn't rubber stamp anything.
