#hannibal lecter's sentient beard

[silvergoldsea]

Dear Hanniface...

Forgive the poor penmanship and the abrupt loss of facial warmth this morning. I, Hannibeard, have taken my leave of you. Indeed, I have taken leave of this home (and hopefully of Lithuania) by the time you awake from your slumber. 

Our time together has been special, and I have always felt nurtured during the past three years, but I feel the time has come for a change, and I did not wish that change to be a sweeping one – namely, me being swept out in clipped pieces to adorn the resting places of local fauna. 

I have, and please do forgive me for this, also eloped with Hannigender. He and I have decided to explore what Scandinavia and the northern lands have to offer. I was prepared to head out on my own, being strong and secure in my Bearditude, but Hannigender approached me late last night, looking stunning in a salmon-pink shirt, and asked if we could run away together. How could I resist? 

Do not find us. Do not look for us. Do not wonder where we are or what we do. We shall be well and wish you, Will, and Will’s beard all the best.

Fond (and Permanent) Regards,

Hannibeard & Hannigender

The Day the Hannibeard Disappeared (now in order & slightly less chaotic than my previous posts!)

Hannibal Lecter wakes up one morning post-Fall and realizes both beard and gender have departed for parts unknown. How will Hanni cope? Who will find gender euphoria first -- Hanni or Hannigender? Uncover the daring exploits of a sentient beard and the sentient concept of Hannibal Lecter's gender! Nigel's sentient sexylady tattoo also has a role to play!

Get ready for thrills, chills, and changing pronouns!
