me: 'i should rlly work on chapter 2 and actually finish it now that i'm on the penultimate sex scene'

also me: 'nah i should make random headcanons about this specific au and write side stories about Will's crazy sex escapades'

[homunculus-argument]

Both me and my boyfriend require extremely clear instructions in order to do something right. My boyfriend does not improvise. He follows given instructions meticulously, to the exact measure, and if something is worded too vaguely, or there's a missing implied step between two clearly stated steps of the process, he will freeze exactly on that spot, and will not even try.

Meanwhile, I'm an improviser. If the instructions don't say exactly what I'm supposed to do, and in what way, I'll just take a wild fucking guess and boy you won't believe how incorrect my guesses can be. Serious, immeasurable and irreversible damage. I'll amelia bedelia that shit so hard that you'll wish I hadn't even tried.

Will is worse than Hannibal.

So recently I made a little rant-y post about how it would be better to have Hannibal want to kill rather than have Will want to kill you. And I kind of touched on how fucked up Will is and was gonna leave it at that but I decided that gorgeous twisted little man deserves a post all of his own. So here goes:

Will is much more sadistic in the traditional meaning of the word than Hannibal. Hannibal kills for the sake of the end result, he kills to have the person dead, he kills to get rid of a witness, he kills to eat. Will kills for the sake of the process.

In the three seasons of Hannibal even while Will was severely restraining and repressing himself you could still see glimpses of the monster that lives under his skin.

He is most unhinged in his fantasies about Hannibal. Will never imagined Hannibal being dead, Will always imagined the process of killing Hannibal. There’s a huge difference. He imagined a stag pulling at a rope at Hannibal’s neck strangling him until blood burst from his body in a wave. He imagined cutting Hannibal’s neck to release some blood and lowering him into a pig pen so the animals would eat him alive. Now tell me does that sound like something a normal person fantasises about? And I’m not talking about just wanting somebody dead, that would be understandable given the context, even normal. But that’s not Will fantasises about. Will fantasises about killing. That is not normal.

But thoughts are one thing. Let’s actually look at what he does, his actions: the first example I would present is Randall Tier. In the scene where Tier attacks Will, Will is holding a shotgun. No, not just holding it, pointing it directly at Randall. All that was left to do was pull the trigger and grant Randall a quick end and grant himself safety. What does Will do? He tosses the gun to the floor in favor of pouncing on Randall and beating him almost to death with his bare fists, and then snapping his neck. Oh and doing all that while imaging he was doing so to Hannibal Lector. And later Will himself admitted he enjoyed killing Randall. Again this is not a normal thing to do, not even close to normal or sane or understandable.

And the final nail in the coffin for me has to be Chilton. Will knew what he was doing and knowingly set Chilton up to be attacked by an unpredictable and sick(in every sense of the word) murderer. Will did not need, did not have to set Chilton up. And sure Chilton was not the nicest person ever. In fact he was a huge prick throughout the show, and got on my nerves whenever he was on screen. Chilton fully deserved a nice heavy punch in the nose, public humiliation and banishment from the medical community. He however did not deserve to be kidnapped, mutilated and burned alive by a serial killer. And what happened to Chilton was very much Will’s fault, but Will did not show an ounce of regret or guilt about what he did.

“Extreme acts of cruelty require a high degree of empathy.” Bedelia says. And Will is extremely empathetic, he is bordering on supernatural levels of empathy. He chose to do all of those actions. So while Hannibal doesn’t really care or acknowledge the pain he is causing just how a butcher doesn’t acknowledge the pain of a pig, Will does. Hannibal doesn’t acknowledge his victims humanity but Will is acutely aware of it. Will is acutely aware of what he is doing and to whom he is causing pain. And he chooses to do it anyway.

And just one final thing: the Will we saw in the show was a Will that was repressing and restricting himself. He was keeping his person suit wrapped around him like a straitjacket. The violence we saw him commit were mere echoes of the violence he is capable of. After season three, after the fall, after Will sheds his person suit and embraces everything he had kept hidden deep inside, the violence he is able and willing to unleash upon the world would be multiplied tenfold. It is terrifying to imagine this Will. This Will would be worse than Hannibal.

Hannibal enjoys the end result and does not really care about how he gets it.

But Will?

Will delights in the very act of killing.

[scarletdreamers]

''Is Hannibal in love with me?''

To which Bedelia answers her famous quote that ultimately ends with: ''Yes.'' Yes, he is in love with you. (You righteous, reckless, twitchy little man)

Now many people (myself included) heard this for the first time and thought, yes of course Will. Jezus fucking Christ, you only realise that now? NOW?

The thing about that scene is that Will knew. Of course he knew. He knows Hannibal better than any other person in the world. Of course Will knew that Hannibal was in love with him, he knew it wayyy before that little talk he had with Bedelia. Will is far from dumb, neither is he oblivious. He knows Hannibal's mind like the back of his hand. Their entire relationship is built on that unnatural and extreme understanding that they have of one another. The ability to see right through each other's person suits and armours and look right into one another's hearts.

So, no, of course Will didn't finally realise it during that 'therapy' session with Bedelia, but why did he ask her? Because he needed confirmation. Will is a man with a lot of doubts. He doubts everything, about himself and about others. He's torn between two personalities, two sides, constantly. Two versions of himself. Of who he is, who he wants and who he's supposed to be. He doubts everything and his relationship with Hannibal is also built on mistrust. Unaltering loyalty, yes, but mistrust because of everything they went through. And, mind you, he hasn't seen or spoken to Hannibal for three years during that session. In his mind, Bedelia can tell him whether the things he used to be sure of but doubts now are still true. He needs to hear the answer said out loud. He needs confirmation. Will has been mistrusted, disbelieved and made out for a liar and mentally unstable man so often that his self doubt goes far enough to reach his idea of the way Hannibal perceives him. He needs to know for sure before he goes and choses what he's going to do. Whose side he will take. He is going to let Hannibal escape, knowing that it'll destroy his own life which he built up in those three years, and he needs to know if what he does is right. He needs confirmation that Hannibal really is in love with him and is not just using him to escape or as an experiment. He thinks Bedelia is the person to tell him that, because she's second on the list of those who know Hannibal best. And since she isn't a part of the 'pact', of the relationship, she can comment on it as an outsider.

That's why, at the very last, Will asks Bedelia if Hannibal loves him. Not because he doesn't know it, or because he didn't believe it, but because he needed to be certain before he went and chose Hannibal's side. He knows there's no way back. He needs to know that, even from an outside point of view, the feelings are mutual and that it's right to, in the end, choose him.

[dyke-will-graham]

Will actually never be over how fucking funny it is that Will and Bedelia have like an on sight hatred of eachother.

Jack is like “I’m a good fisherman too.” And shows Bedelia and Will is actually fighting demons to not slaughter her where she stands and it’s so funny because what should be a relief and break in the case is actually just a bitch fight between an ex gf and a current situationship

[thehannibalextendeduniverse]

Watching Hannibal (as I spend most of my time doing) and I was on the season 3 finale and I just kept thinking about how people who deny they lived exist and somehow think they're correct. Which, no. So here's a little rant disproving that.

I need to talk about the post-credits finale scene. I’m sorry but the people who say Will and Hannibal died and Bedelia cut off her own leg are just objectively wrong. Of course there’s a lot in Hannibal with multiple meanings that you can interpret, but Will and Hannibal surviving is an undeniable fact, just like them being in love is. The people who adamantly deny it just piss me off because, did we watch the same show??? Or are you just that media illiterate. The show itself gives us the pieces to put it together.

From Hannibal calling suicide the enemy, hinting that he wouldn’t let them die to it, to the table being set for three. Bedelia did not go crazy, cut off her own leg, and serve it like Hannibal would. Hannibal and Will did that. It’s such an important scene because, well, they go after Bedelia — Will keeps his ‘promise’ to her and put “meat back on the menu”. It shows they both lived and are working together, that they are partners. Hannibal is clearly following Will’s direction and his desire to get back at Bedelia, so that’s what they do (again, Hannibal’s devotion to Will).

Bedelia grabs the fork and conceals it, a weapon for her to use — because Will and Hannibal are still there and she’s trying her best to not go out without a fight/to somehow get out of it. Even the song says “I will survive, live and thrive” (referencing Will and Hannibal, as well as, when focused on Bedelia, her desire to survive them). It is spelled out for everyone to see. There is literally no excuse for not reaching the logical conclusion that Will and Hannibal survived and are happily living together somewhere.

Even if you ignore what the show hands to you on a silver platter, there was going to be a season four. What the fuck do Hannigram survival deniers think s4 was going to be about? Their ghosts?

Also, it does not take that much effort to find the interview where Bryan is asked about what he thinks of people interpreting it as Will and Hannibal dying and him laughing at it and confirming they lived. So. No excuse. Hannigram survived. For the love of god, stop claiming they’re dead when they’re so obviously not.

Painting on the ceiling: The Fall of the Damned (The Fall of the Rebel Angels) by Peter Paul Rubens

[psychoticwillgraham]

so for 'in the maw', i'm thinking about writing small ficlets that are non smutty that serve as cute, worldbuilding stuff bc apparently i'm making it a whole ass thing now. it was only supposed to originally be a 15k one shot of nothing but shameless, disgusting porn, but the concept quickly ran away from me and it's going to be at least 6-7 chapters now. godfuckingdamnit. also, i may have to rewrite the entire sex scene in chapter 2 now bc i'm super unhappy with what i have and i'm going back to the build up and doing more worldbuilding details bc i can't ever write an au without some sort of worldbuilding. rip to my hands for all the typing i'm about to do. chapter 2 will probably be out by saturday at the earliest btw

also, the little ficlets are tumblr exclusive for now, and i'll evenetually compile them into a single work on ao3

and if y'all have any cute, fluffy scenarios set in the fic's universe, then send them to me!!

[livwritesstuff]

another steve/college-aged daughter phone call bc i liked writing the last one

Steve is at work when his middle daughter, Robbie, FaceTimes him. He’s between clients, so he answers it, and his phone screen lights up with a view of Robbie standing in front of her floor-length mirror.

Without any preamble, she asks, “Do you think this is okay to wear to court?”

Steve squints at his screen long enough to see that she’s wearing a pair of baggy jeans and what looks like an oversized suit vest with a white button down underneath.

“Uh…I dunno about the jeans, hon,” he replies, and then his brain catches the court part of her question, “Wait – why are you going to court? Jury duty?”

“No, I’m contesting a parking ticket.”

“Another one?”

It’s true – since Robbie’s move to New York City for college a few years back, he’s lost count of how many parking tickets she’s gotten.

“This one was unfair.”

“She parked in a tow-zone,” he hears Moe supply from off-camera, “I thought it was nice they only gave her a ticket and didn’t tow it like they should have.”

“It’s not usually a tow-zone,” Robbie protested, “They should have made an announcement or something.”

“Like with a megaphone?” Moe asks, sounding baffled, and Steve has to hold in a laugh.

“Shut up,” Robbie fires back.

“Did they put up any signs, hon?” Steve asks her.

“No.”

“Yes,” Moe cuts in.

“Fuck off, Lucille.” And that does not go over well with Moe, obviously, because Robbie knows that calling her Lucille (which isn’t even her actual name; it’s just Lucy) is a spectacularly efficient way to piss her off.

Robbie’s phone is pointed at the ground so Steve can’t see what exactly is happening, but judging by the dull thump he hears and how it’s followed by Robbie’s frustrated “Stop it!”, he’d guess that Moe walloped her pretty good with one of Robbie’s many throw pillows.

“You stop it, Bedelia.”

And if Lucille isn’t Moe’s real name, Bedelia is even further from Robbie’s – it’s Amelia, actually, but Bedelia (as in Amelia Bedelia, the children’s book character) became a way for Moe to call her stupid without actually calling her stupid (a punishable offense in the Harrington house when they were growing up).

“Robbie, how much was the ticket?” Steve interrupts before the fighting can get too brutal.

“It’s not about how much it was,” she says as she flips the camera so he can see her face again, “It’s the principle of the thing.”

“It was only seventy dollars,” Moe tells him, “The outfit she bought was basically triple that.”

Steve sighs, and glances at the clock.

“Darling, I have to go. I really think you should call your Aunt Erica and see what she thinks about all this.”

[graciereadshannigram]

hey fam, welcome to the May 2024 roundup of the best hannigram fics i've read this past month! i read several million words worth of fics, and these were the cream of the crop. i also managed to rewatch the show for the fifth time!! (unemployment has its perks lmao)

as a reminder: the ingredients for a five star rating typically (but not always!!) include some combination of a.) believable characterizations of both Hannibal and Will, b.) compelling plot and/or character arcs, and c.) high quality smut.

that being said, my judgment of the aforementioned ingredients is powered almost exclusively by vibes. as such, it is incredibly subjective.

you can find past rec lists below:

February March April

and if you have any recs of your own for me, PLEASE SHARE.

anyway, in no particular order, let's go!

Overcoming by purefoysgirl

Word Count: 547.5k Summary: A Victorian A/B/O romance in which Hannibal Lecter is the future Duke of Westvale who has been away at war for the past ten years. His Grandfather has made good on a contract made shortly after Hannibal's birth to procure him a wife. It was supposed to be easy. Naturally, with the Omega, Will, given in the place of his twin sister, it is anything but, because if there is one thing Hannibal Lecter despises, it's Omegas.

This fic had me holding back tears when it ended (after sobbing a couple different times). This was... incredible. What a fucking UNDERTAKING this author committed to, and despite this being a doorstopper of a fic, the plot did not miss a single beat. Just... wow. For the love of god, please read this.

Falls the Shadow by littlesystems

Word Count: 72.4k Summary: "You're a psychiatrist," Will says. "Between your personal and professional lives you must have met thousands of people, you must know dozens of different flavors of pathology. Do you know anyone who would take me as I am? Who would be able to love me," he gestures in a sweeping motion, from his messy hair to his stained knee, "just as I am?" "I do." Bedelia's words shock Will into stillness. “Really?” AKA an AU where Bedelia is Will’s psychiatrist instead of Hannibal, Will makes a series of increasingly questionable life choices, and no one should ever take Bedelia’s advice. Ever.

GIMME MORE STARSSSSSSSS. Bedelia as Will's psychiatrist was brilliant, holy shit. And Will understanding Hannibal and completely accepting him? This is something I see so rarely done in fics. Will always makes him be a lot less manipulative, or at least goes through heavy angst over it. But in this? Will was immediately endeared because that's just who Hannibal is.

Bram Stoker's HANNIBAL by DBMars

Word Count: 586.7k Summary: Love Never Dies. "I have crossed oceans of time to find you." Hannibal + Bram Stoker's Dracula + the classic novel = a new version of the seductive vampire legend. Count Hannibal Lecter loses the thing most precious to him -- the love of his life. God is beyond measure in wanton malice, and matchless in his irony. And so Hannibal renounces God, and becomes an immortal monster that feeds on the blood of the living. 400 years after losing his beloved, Count Lecter meets a man who looks exactly like the husband he lost -- reborn and returned. But who could learn to love a monster?

@dbmars you are a fucking genius. I am honestly still processing and figuring out how to communicate just how amazing this fic was. Do yourself a favor and go read it NOW.

the book of jonah by zipegs

Word Count: 18.1k Summary: A sudden breath of hot wind presses through the trees. For a moment, it feels fresh, alive, and then the dust—the pollen—comes along with it, a parasite hitched on the back of the breeze. Will is ravenous. --- After the fall, Will and Hannibal sojourn in a remote, decrepit cabin in South America while they await Chiyoh’s return. But something here is afflicting them, and it’s only getting worse.

Okay, bear with me. THIS WAS FUCKING AMAZING. I haven't felt this way after consuming a piece of media since I watched Guillermo del Toro's The Autopsy episode. Psychological horror mixed with body horror mixed with smut??? I guess that does it for me. I literally can't stop thinking about this fic. It's been two weeks and I am STILL thinking about it.

Wrong by HotMolasses (@snazzymolasses here on tumblr)

Word Count: 4.2k Summary: Will roughly rubbed his arm across his mouth again, trying to rub it off. Rub off the scent of Alana, after they’d kissed. After she’d kissed him. Or he’d kissed her? It was mutual. Until it wasn’t. Until Will breathed in her scent, so familiar, so Alpha, so…wrong. He’d pulled back forcibly, unable to hide the expression of revulsion on his face. “I…I need to go.” he said, sweeping his coat off the back of a chair on his way towards the door. “Lock up when you leave.” The weather was crap, and it probably wasn’t smart to drive in the snow while he was in pre-heat, but Will didn’t know what else to do. He needed to figure this out, he needed to talk to the only person who understood him. He needed to talk to Hannibal.

So ummmmmmm what do I need to do to turn this into like a whole AU?? As always, this was a total home run. Every single bit of it was perfect.

as soft, as wide as air by BlackKnightSatellite

Word Count: 193.9k Summary: After surviving the fall, Will finds he has far fewer hesitations about joining Hannibal than he would have guessed. Character death, but not Will or Hannibal.

Well shit. I read this immediately after a full rewatch of the show (in four days no less) and THIS is my new season 4 canon. It's brilliant and actually reads like a proper season would. And I love how it gives all the characters a concluded story line. Aside from Will and Hannibal. I also loved how much this explored Will's instability and how his mental state would be affected after he finally slung off all the guilt and allowed himself to fully enjoy killing. All around very good.

The Dispersal Method by @victorineb

Word Count: 16.9k Summary: It’s a normal fall day in the forest for Will Graham. Dead body in front of him, cannibal psychiatrist behind him, the usual. Then Will brushes against the wrong flower, and suddenly neither he nor Hannibal can keep their hands off each other. Now, Will must navigate his way out of the crime scene and Jack’s scrutiny while also trying not to jump Hannibal’s bones at every opportunity. Well, one out of three ain’t bad. Set nebulously in s2, post-Will's release from the BSHCI. Will’s a conflicted honeypot, Hannibal’s a (not-so) secretly-besotted asshole, and nobody has brought enough lube.

THIS IS THE BEST SEX POLLEN I'VE EVER READ. Seriously. The BEST out of pretty much any fandom (at least so far).

Between the Shadow and the Soul by raiast

Word Count: 48.7k Summary: When Will decides to stop taking his suppressants neither he nor Hannibal can deny the attraction between them. After nearly a decade of running from his biology, Will is faced with his primitive Omega urges full force. As if navigating his hormones wasn't enough, there is a killer at large with a very specific motive that seems to only be targeting preteen boys.

This might be my new favorite ABO fic? And one of the better case fics out there.

Sleepover by EarthsickWithoutYou

Word Count: 70k Summary: Set in Season 1, after "Fromage." Will is still confused about his kiss with Alana and seeks romantic advice on how to date and be more "smooth" from Hannibal. Little does he know that Hannibal is madly, passionately obsessed with him, and desperately jealous. Needless to say, Dr. Lecter is all too happy to teach Will everything he knows about love and dating.

This was pretty fluffy, tender, and fun, and it was exactly what I needed after finishing a heavier fic

Alana Finds Out by @victorineb

Word Count: 32.1k Summary: A series of one-shots in which Alana Bloom discovers, in the midst of various tropes, that her boyfriend Hannibal Lecter's feelings for Will Graham run far deeper than friendship. Basically a chance for Alana to shout at the pair of emotionally-repressed idiots whilst still indulging in much Hannigram loveliness.

Oh I loved all of this. This scratched that itch in my brain that loves when Alana realizes that Hannibal has wanted Will all along. And some of these one-shots are genuinely hysterical. Love.

Doctor's Orders by JSinister32

Word Count: 29.2k Summary: “He’s dead on his feet, Jack. I do not understand how you allowed him to come when he’s so obviously ill. There have been too many hours in service of your needs, so many that it seems to have affected any sleep that he may have gotten over the past few weeks. From what you and I have discussed, he has a difficult time shutting his mind down under the best of circumstances and this case today has clearly gotten to him.” The doctor stepped closer to the profiler, peering into his eyes as Will tried to focus. “Will? Can you hear me?” Will Graham has never been particularly good at taking care of himself. When he comes down with a severe cold while working on a string of murders, the new psychiatrist on retainer, Doctor Hannibal Lecter, offers to care for him. Will he be able to keep his feelings in check while Hannibal is in his home? Hannibal Lecter can't get the profiler working for the Violent Crimes unit out of his mind. When given the opportunity to care for him when he's ill, will his feelings for the other man come to light?

TENDER. I want like 70k more words of this. Especially Hannibal putting Jack in his place. Especially Hannibal washing Will's hair. Mmm. There's just something so good about Will letting Hannibal take care of him.

The First Condition of Immortality is Death by OneHandedBooks

Word Count: 92.5k Summary: Hannibal’s heart stopped for the first time after he’d dragged himself and Will out of the frigid ocean onto the rocky shore at the bottom of the bluff.

Oh this was GOOD. Very tender, good characterizations, and loved how Will's hallucinations were portrayed. This was just all a really good exploration of how their relationship could have progressed. This author also is incredibly good at showing the scenes in a way that I could watch them unfold in my head. This felt like a crystal clear movie.

What Do The Dead Know? by OneHandedBooks

Word Count: 7.6k Summary: He looks up at her, haloed by the sun. She could be anyone. No one. St. Abigail, patron of lilies and last chances. AU: What if Will joined Hannibal willingly after the Uffizi Gallery and they shared a few tense weeks in the world before Mason's men finally ran them down? In which Will writes, hallucinates, and succumbs to the dark side and Hannibal is a manipulative, brainwashing, bastard.

cw: Abigail/Will. But does it really count if it's a dream sequence? Regardless, this was something else, off the charts, big fan. The author NAILED the hallucinatory vibe that made this entire fic work so so well. Also, just Will working through his grief for Abigail this way made it that much more intense.

chimera of the chapel by bleakmidwinter

Word Count: 211.5k Summary: When Will Graham wakes up from a coma three months after the fall, Jack reveals that Hannibal Lecter didn't survive. Outside the realm of Hannibal's influence, Will decides to discover the full truth behind the world's sudden and seeming falsehood. Everybody seems to hold their own opinion on Hannibal's fate, but Will knows better than anyone that trust and honesty are as elusive as death.

The "presumed dead" trope might just be my new obsession. I adored this fic so much, the plot was incredible, the development of their relationship was spot on, and there were just some very tender moments.

wear my silence like a mask by bleakmidwinter

Word Count: 32.k Summary: After running into Hannibal at a Bass Pro Shop, Will is invited to a Masquerade Ball at his estate. Jack encourages him to attend for an opportunity to catch the Ripper. Extenuating circumstances tempt Will down an even graver path; Romance with the Ripper.

Three words: masked anonymous sex. That's all.

The Voices and the Shadows by darlinghogwarts, MaddyHughes

Word Count: 114.6k Summary: “The Chesapeake Ripper? The serial killer? That's a grisly thing to find at the bottom of a drink. Most people say oblivion ...or possibly sex.” Hannibal sips his wine again. “Why are you thinking about a murderer on your birthday, Will? Is it part of your degree?” “He is a part of my degree by my own choice. My supervisor didn’t approve, but…” He sighs. “I insisted.” AU where Will—a Masters student studying the Chesapeake Ripper—gets drunk on his birthday and meets an intriguing man at the bar.

Man, I wish I had had Hannibal as my thesis supervisor in grad school, hot damn. (Mine was pretty much too busy to help with anything, ended up doing it all myself – would not recommend.) This was was damn near perfect. I needed some good old fashioned angst. With a good and fluffy ending. This was a good AU!

Chasing Thoroughbreds by HigherMagic

Word Count: 42.8k Summary: After the fall, Chiyoh rescues Will and Hannibal and takes them to the Lecter home in Lithuania. When Hannibal wakes up, his memories of everything - Will, being the Ripper, everything since Mischa's death - are gone. Will's only problem with that is that killing Hannibal won't be nearly as satisfying if he doesn't understand why. Wrestling with his own feelings, or what's left in the tattered mess of them after the fight with Dolarhyde, Will stays, hoping that Hannibal will recover and give him the opportunity he's waiting for. But there are others who remember what Hannibal did, all those years ago, and they have their own bone to pick.

Ugh pretty sure I love almost everything HigherMagic writes and this did not disappoint. This was fantastic. I was absolutely captivated by Will's development through this and Hannibal was just as good.

Volto Larva by TreacleA

Word Count: 39k Summary: Will is having trouble unwinding after work. Hannibal helpfully suggests somewhere that may assist with that, with absolutely no ulterior motive whatsoever.

So ummmm I'm still blushing (in the best way) over parts of this fic because FUCK this is scorching. Anyway. That's all I've got to say LOL.
