oh my god i would LOVE to read that, that's one of my favorite tropes that don't get used often enough in this fandom

I’m writing about Will + Hannibal being cut off from their resources post-fall and having to scrounge up poverty meals from the dollar store and fast food chains but I cannot decide whether to go for hahas + make Hannibal predictably and hilariously disdainful of a McDouble, or whether I want to go full angst and force Will to watch Doctor “I’m very careful about what I put into my body” “food is life” “I ate my sister” Hannibal Lecter spiral into total trauma-induced menty breakdown in response to having his sacred coping mechanism and main sense of control ripped away, exacerbated by the shame he feels for not being able to stomach it when Will didn’t even see it as a noteworthy obstacle until seeing the panic manifest physically …..

#sir i would go bat shit insane for the second #tho i understand the appeal of the former given that one of my favorite fics is that one fic #where will and hannibal argue and will fucks off to go work at mcdonald's #cue crack shenanigans and hannibal suffering #but oh my GOD the second is such a horribly tasty idea #we as a fandom do not talk enough about how hannibal's cannibalism is a coping mechanism/ed #like sure we talk about it in snippets of plot related detail and how it affects the way he treats/loves will #but mmmm the sheer potential exploring you could do with it #ESPECIALLY after an event as traumatic as being tipped off a cliff by your lover/partner/homoerotic rival #im sure hannibal found the act beautiful in and of itself but still #thats traumatic as fuck. and im sure they're both heavily wounded after that so its ofc physcially traumatizing #for hannibal to have one of his foundational coping mechanisms taken away after smth like that??#not just the whole eating ppl thing but the safety and security of knowing exactly what he's eating and putting into his body?#yea i need that so bad actually #i could yell for ages about it #i am starved (pardon the pun) for 'hannibal literally canonically has an eating disorder' fics #in all fairness u could inject some funnies into the angst or some angst into the funnies no matter which u choose to lean toward #hannibal lecter #nbc hannibal #hannibal has an ed
