#literally will going to visit hannibal in prison in s3

[graythursday]

why are they so hannigram coded here

[divinetheatre]

🩸 and, if you want... 👀 How would you do S4? Anything you really want to happen, characters you'd follow up with?

fav headcanon

after the fall, hannibal is so besotted and in love with will that he does anything he asks/gives him whatever he wants. this is kind of a constant in all of my post-canon fics so yeah i'd say its my fav, but also i think it's pretty grounded in what the show already gives us. i mean, he put himself in prison for him and stripped his life down to i will either die for him (he doesn't come for me) or i will live for him (he does come for me). he pays you a visit or he doesn't.

how would I do s4?

that's a really big question. well, obviously i'd have hannibal and will together, trying to navigate this new existence together. i think will would definitely experience some weird feelings. he meant to kill them, after all, and survival would mean dealing with that failure and having to live with the acceptance that he experienced before throwing them over. hannibal would see it as a new beginning, a more literal rebirth than even he was able to give to will. they'd have to be on the run as evidence from the dragon crime scene would reveal that will was complicit. like many people, i'd love to see chiyoh return. when last we saw her, she both said she wanted him caged and she wanted to protect him. ngl i haven't done a lot of critical thinking about chiyoh, but i'd love to see her character fleshed out and explored more.

on the other side of things with the other characters, this would be a huge scandal for the fbi. jack approved will's plan of faking the escape, he asked for will to come back, etc. he'd probably be taking some fire for basically repeating the same mistake that he made 3 years ago. it seems that he returned to the fbi after bella died specifically to hunt down hannibal at the beginning of s3 (in aperitivo, he's packing his things and telling chilton he's let it all go, but then by digestivo, he's coming to arrest hannibal in wolf trap), and maybe he stayed with it because he had nothing else. it would be interesting to see him give up on the fbi all over again. he's skirted the law so many times in pursuit of hannibal and now he's been burned by will 2 times. maybe, he reverts to his vigilante justice of contorno (uh lets just admit i want to see unhinged jack beat hannibal's ass again). him finally giving up on will would also be interesting. he's always claimed that will will come back to himself no matter what, but now there's clear evidence smacking him in the face that this is not the case. how will he deal with his own mistakes leading him to this conclusion? jack is a flawed character just like everyone else, and although there have been times where he's shown guilt or regret, he always returns to "i will do whatever it takes to have justice." i'd like to see him grapple with the cost of that.

for margot and alana. god i want so much lol, so much that they did not give us in s3. they'd be a great parallel for will and hannibal in a s4. i want to see the long term effects of them dealing with having killed mason + making a deal with hannibal. they're going into hiding in s3 so possibly they'd be abroad as well. would they begin to question what they've done? would they begin to question each other? their relationship mutually benefitted one another in s3 almost to a contractual point, but does it make sense anymore when they can't even enjoy those benefits? i'm not saying they don't love each other, but realistically, i think they'd face issues down the road.

like i said, will and hannibal would be a scandal and who loves a scandal more than freddie lounds? oh, she'd be all over molly and walter trying to get a scoop. she'd be all over the crime scene and jack too. and hannibal could still follow tattlecrime from wherever he and will are convalescing. i think molly would try to be as private as possible, be very irritated by freddie, etc, just try to move on, but privately, i'm sure she'd be really broken up and horrified. there was this side of will that she never really understood or realized existed (at least to this extent).

i've seen a lot of people say that they want chilton to become a killer, but idk, i don't really have any thoughts to add i don't really sit around thinking about chilton lmfao

but i think the main theme of the season would be "accepting the consequences of what i've done" bc it's now kind of all reached a critical point in which nothing will ever be the same and cannot be repaired or buried any longer.

EDIT: we saw bedelia with her leg cut off at the end of s3. i think it would be cool if this was posed in s4 as a flash forward. have will and hannibal spend the season figuring things out and end with them going after bedelia together. s3 and s4 would then end with the same shot and idk i just thing it would cool bc i don’t want to do a time jump past them recovering from the fall. bedelia could also spend the s4 trying to hide.

well, that got really long lol thanks for the ask!

send me a hannibal ask

[majorxmaggiexboy]

idk if i’m actually going to attempt to participate but i still want to make a little list of Tober/Tember prompts and ideas of what to do with them. also tagging @f-ro-g bc New Pack. Every time i do one of these i start forgetting every media i’ve ever consumed so we’re going to see if i can at least get more than like three different fandoms on here. Might or might not come back through and flesh these out with actual details later on.

Whumptober Ideas

1) All Trussed Up and Nowhere to Go/”You have to let go”/Barbed Wire/Bound - Hadestown, full stop. The whole prompt is Hadestown. It’s in the lyrics, even. It is this post that makes me finally notice the “Keep on walking and don’t look back” line in Wait For Me and i’m so angry right now

2) Talking is Overrated/Garotte/Choking/Gagged - I’m thinking a rewrite of my first Three Musketeers fic just because it was funny the first time around and also wouldn’t take much Effort. Next.

3) Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones, But.../Taunting/Insults/”Who did this to you?”

The Bradmadge Brawl of S2E1 but with passion and malice next question

4) Trust Fall/”Do you trust me?”/Taken Hostage/Pushed

Nothing springs immediately to mind but i’m leaning toward Psych or The New Pack

5) Red In My Ledger/Betrayal/Misunderstanding/Broken Nose

*slams hand on table* New Pack. Mordaunt. It writes itself.

6) Touch and Go/Bruises/Touch-Starved/Hunger

On-Drakon we’re going to give Arman and Mira some love even if only two people on this website even know them.

7) My Spidey-Sense is Tingling/Helplessness/Numbness/Blindness

TASM just for the sake of it? Undecided

8) Coughing Up a Lung/Pneumothorax/Exotic Illness/”Definitely Just a Cold”

Ben Tallmadge and the Delaware Dive next question

9) Rumors of My Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated/Presumed Dead/Blind Rage/Tears

Bucky it’s your turn babe

10) Oops, I Did It Again/Hospital/Flare-Up/Ice Chips

Ben you’re going back in the Delaware it’ll be so funny

11) Just Keep Swimming/Adrift/Drowning/Dehydration

Personally i think having a third Ben vs. Water fic would be the funniest possible move but Grimaud or Mordaunt could also work here

12) It’ll Be Fun, They Said/Torture/Made to Watch/Begging

Jean-Olivier comes to mind but hmmmmm there was also that one TURN S3 au that could work

13) That’s Gonna  Leave a Mark/This Is Gonna Suck/Burns/Cauterization

Hmmmmmm OH! OH! Raoul! The New Pack. Done.

14) Under Pressure/Crush Injuries/Beaten/Force

It says Force and Force is Star Wars so naturally this is Mando’s number.

15) Feed a Cold, Starve a Fever/Delirium/Fever Dream/Bees

Ben Tallmadge guess what....

16) On a Need-to-Know Basis/Recovery/Scars/Aftermath

I’m thinking the Psych Not-Ghost AU would work here but there are certainly other options.

17) Field-Care 101/”Please don’t move!”/Hemorrhage/Dread

Might go with something Leverage right here just because i just watched Leverage. Nothing’s jumping immediately to mind. Warm Bodies could also work though.

18) The Doctor is In/”Now smile for the camera!”/Doctor’s visit/CPR

I’m thinking Reid just because Dr. and i’ve never been able to write Doctor Who so. What other Doctor characters are there. McStuffins isn’t in the running here. Oh! We could do something MCU, Bruce is a Doctor isn’t he? God can you imagine Dr. Hulk trying to

19) Just a Scratch/Bitten/Bleeding/Stabbing

Didn’t ... d’Artagnan once utter the phrase “it’s just a scratch” in relation to someth.....first episode, i think? Great so we have a winner, good job everybody.

20) Lost & Found/Trunk/Trapped underwater/Solitary Confinement

Weirdly Mando is the first character to come to mind. Someone beat me to 80% of my other idea but there’s potential.

21) That’s Where the Blood’s Supposed to Be/Bleeding Through Bandages/Pressure/Blood-Matted Hair

Let’s be real the only two options for this one are Bucky or Eliot and they’re virtually the same character so where does that leave me

22) They Made Me Do It/Cursed/Demon/Obsession

*vague wave* Merlin ?

23) You Break It, You Buy It/Auction/Ransom/Pursuit

That one 3M au with Athos and the big mix-up and the Oops and all the...stuff, yeah. That works.

24) One Down, Two to Go/Self-Induced Injuries to Escape/Flashback/Revenge

Holy sh- i didn’t see this one initially. I mean? Jean? Ow.

25) Hide & Seek/Escape/Flight/Hiding

Psych? Orrrrr....TGM?

26) You Will Go Down With This Ship/Fallen/Waterfall/Trap Door

I’m trying to think of literally anything i’ve ever read or watched that’s got a ship in it ummmmmmm hey what if we interpret “ship” as yeaaaah let’s do another Mando one that’ll work

27) “I’m Fine, I Prom...”/Passing Out/Vertigo/Collapse

I mean..... .... ... is there a character this doesn’t work for though? Wait. No actually let’s do Childermass since he gets that what is it an allergic reaction to magic? I mean i know Segundus gets like that to so....ha let’s make it be Both of them.

28) It’s Not Just In Your Head/”Good, you’re finally awake”/Nightmares/Panic

First thought is New Pack but it might take some pondering.

29) All Work and No Play/”You’re still not dead?”/Too weak to move/overworked

it’s like Civil War but with Bucky and Jean-Olivier having an all-out brawl good lord it’s an either/or situation.

30) Digging Your Grave/Major Character Death/Left For Dead/Ghosts

*shot of choc milk* the exact TURN AU i was Just thinking about yesterday,,,

31) Hurt & Comfort/Disaster Zone/Trauma/Prisoner

I feel like i need to put Gwynplaine here just because he hasn’t had a turn yet

Alt. Prompts

1) Losing Control

Arman. Very obviously extramuch Arman definitely. Let’s have another one with the involuntary dragon himbo.

2) Threats

*chin hands* trying to think of a character who gets threatened a lot. will circle back. I’m actually thinking Psych again but idk.

3) Caning

Ro we’ve genuinely discussed about 16 different variations on this one i think it’s Time

4) Mercy

MORDAUNT MORDAUNT NEXT QUESTION

5) Forgotten

Is it time for Jack Frost of all people to make an appearance or is this just Bucky again

6) Head Injury

It would be real easy to just put the headbonk au here but i’m going to try to show some restraint and do a different headbonk story

7) Screaming

Going to assign Gwynplaine here just because he really has been neglected in this lineup and also it would probably be good for him to vent a little bit in this manner

8) Comfort

Someone’s going to get petted like a cat and i just haven’t decided whomst but when i do it’s over for everybody

9) Self-Sacrifice

What do i even say to that i Feels like another New Pack but it’s still up for grabs tbh

10) Trapped

Tempted to pour one out and just say Bucky but idk idk we’ll think of something this is very much a first draft stream of thought general idea planning session

11) Near Death Experience

It would be hilarious to just put something like Meet Joe Black for this one but WAIT NO NO GO BACK ACTUALLY WARM BODIES LET’S DO WARM BODIES

12) Regret

It’s gotta either be Psych or TURN

13) Tragedy

My first thought is to do a damn Hannibal fic without ever having actually watched the show just because i’m still angry about how i read it ended but considering that i only know the characters’ voices from tumblr chatposts i feel like that’s not the best venue to

heck we might just do New Pack

14) Battlefield

Either TURN or New Pack or....the song’s a little bit dramatic for a Bucky but actually....unless? no....but Maybe,

15) Anxiety

Every character i’ve ever cared about could potentially fit right here so :/ Arman could have 3rd ficlet but again, literally every character, i,,,,,they’ve all got anxiety X’D
