    Summary

    The image that barges its way through Hannibal’s mind is not one of the present, but rather a reflection behind a long bolted shut door. Will, pale, mute, and wounded, looks an awful lot like Hannibal did at age thirteen. 

    Or: Post-fall, the severity of Will’s injuries renders him temporarily mute. Hannibal is forced to confront his past.

    (Based heavily on Hannibal Rising, but no pre-context is required for this fic!)

    Summary

    Christmas meant lights turned on early. Christmas meant warmth was still possible somewhere, even if it didn’t belong to you. Snow drifted down, quiet and thorough. Will’s leg burned. His ribs felt wrong. His hands were slick and numb at the same time. He tasted copper when he swallowed. Still, he moved. He took Hannibal with him.

    Will and Hannibal spend Christmas in the woods, as best as they can. <3

    Summary

    Cupid, careless or not, has struck him in the most vulnerable place: the soft underbelly he rarely acknowledges even to himself. The place where the ribs part just enough to admit a hand. Will puts his hand there sometimes when they lie together on his couch. He lets the hand remain where it lands, and he wonders whether Cupid is truly a reckless child or the intelligent, immortal god he has always been.
