Summary
Hannibal moved through the study, not searching for anything... Instead, he found tucked between the pages, was a small sheet of sketch paper... A sketch. Unfinished. Of Will. Not the man in the garden... but the Will who never arrived. Who Hannibal chose and refused to become.
He didn’t remember hiding it. But he had. As a wound more than a keepsake... Outside, laughter rose from the courtyard. The man’s and Abigail’s.
Hannibal closed the book. Slipped the sketch back between the pages. And this time, he remembered putting it there.In which, when Will Graham returns to Florence, he finds the life he left behind reshaped in his absence—by a version of himself who never pulled away, and by Hannibal, who carries not only memory but something growing beneath his skin.
The man Will once hunted now moves with careful domesticity, slicing tomatoes in quiet kitchens, yet still haunted by blood. -

Summary
12-year-old Clarice is desperately trying to save a lamb from a terrible fate, and Hannibal is a stranger in the night, willing to help. They part ways, but from that moment on, their lives are twined together. Clarice grows up with Hannibal's shadow by her side; her only constant friend and companion, a monster only she can see. This influence changes everything. When they come back together decades later, Will knows who he is, and Hannibal is eager to learn. Falling in love is easy, but trusting it isn't — until it is. A story about acceptance and knowing who you are, even if you're not quite sure what's real.
Featuring Goethe, Eldritch!Hannibal, a cannibalistic centipede, Pothead!Will, the cutest lamb you ever did see, a zombie sheep, kinky mushroom sex, and a lot of sap. So much sap.

Summary
When his life feels like it’s held together by borrowed time and bad choices, Will Graham decides to go back to art. Never in his life he imagined that change would come in the shape of a graceful mute boy and mirrorless eyes.
Hannibal knew that W.G., William Graham, born in 1976, was a creature of habit, he took his two cups of coffee at five in the afternoon, just when the clientele was waning, so he could have the corner table beside the power outlet. Hannibal drove an hour and a half to model for money he did not need, for prey he didn’t have to make any effort to catch, in the end, it's for the performance of it all. He slipped into the role of Will’s boy, who looked him in the eyes when most people avoided him and the widespread radius of awkwardness he brought with him. That’s what Hannibal needs him to see.
...More like, Hannibal Lecter is a part-time model for a life drawing class when he isn't back at Hopkins, and Will Graham is the former detective that always clung too fast, too deeply.
Title from Adrianne Lenker's "terminal paradise", from the album abbyskiss.

Summary
Will's fingers cling to the warmth of Hannibal's skin, a once unimaginable sensation now a desperate necessity. He presses his thumb under Hannibal's chin, tilting his head up firmly.
"Everything went dark, but the scene in your office shed some light. I may have dragged you into my world today, but something tells me you might have visited long before me," Will's voice tensely hangs between them. Then Hannibal's lips twitch subtly, and Will feels the action ripple like a trapped ghost under his thumb.
Will has a doubled moment of clarity at the scene of Tobias Budge’s death.

Summary
—“I didn’t come here to stop you,” he said.
“I came because I knew I wouldn’t.”
Hannibal’s lips curved slightly.
“And you missed me.”
Will looked down at his plate.
“God help me,” he said, barely above a whisper,
“I did.”
Hannibal leaned forward just enough for the warmth of the candlelight to catch his face, eyes flickering like coals.
“You think you’ve surrendered,” he said, voice low and calm.
“But I think you’re only now becoming what you were always meant to be.”

Summary
“Is this important?” Will asks.
“You can decide for yourself,” says Jack. “Hannibal has officially been transported to his cell at Baltimore Hospital. They did a few…standard intake assessments upon his arrival.”
“You can’t diagnose him,” Will says, almost automatically. “There’s no label for what he is.”
“They didn’t. But one of the intake assessments was a classification test. His government records indicate that he’s a neutral. Well, this test revealed that he’s a little.”
Will freezes in his chair, his mind reeling.
—
No one knows that Hannibal is a little until he goes to prison. Will doesn’t think about this at all. No, really.

Summary
Will drags his thumb up the edge of the knife’s handle. It would be so easy. One quick swipe and the blade would be buried in Hannibal’s abdomen, then all Will would have to do is tear him open to bleed in this little Italian street.
The locals would scream. Hannibal wouldn’t. He probably wouldn’t even make a sound. There would be no words between them as he lay dying at Will’s feet—they would have only eyes for each other until Hannibal’s closed and never opened again.
Maybe Will would go to prison, and maybe he wouldn’t. Jack would praise him. No one would blame Will, except for Will.
What will Will Graham become now?
What will he be?
He will be alone. That’s the devastating, inevitable truth. Once Hannibal Lecter is gone, no more than a bloodstain on the concrete, Will Graham will be alone.
_________________Will brought the knife to end Hannibal's life in Florence. Instead, he reaches out and takes his hand.

Summary
Will tells himself it don’t matter that he’s got company for this job, tells himself he don’t mind having the kid around, even if it does feel off. He knows he can’t afford to be picky—not in this kind of work, where jobs are hard enough to come by. And maybe if the boy’s just gonna keep ignoring him, they won’t have to cross paths all that much. He’s fine with that. Easier to keep his head down, get through the summer without any trouble. They won’t see each other.
Out of sight, out of mind.

Summary
Will carefully adjusted the sling over Hannibal's shoulder, fingers lingering on his skin, sensing when that perfunctory touch transformed into something more profound. The source of this change was nearly impossible to discern. Feeling the genesis of something while being blind to its root was as relieving as it was destabilizing– much like faith.
At the edge of the cliff overlooking a chasm, they discovered a tremulous bridge that takes two to cross.
