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.

Summary
“If it was just Abigail,” he says, “I would’ve believed. I would’ve believed that I got so far up Hobbs’ head I couldn’t get out.” Because that is a kind of madness he understands, a kind of crossing-over that fits with everything he knows about himself, about the way he works, the way he slips into other people and carries pieces of them back out with him whether he wants to or not. A rotting corpse in his head. Not something antlered.
“But it wasn’t just Abigail.” Hannibal says it plainly.

Summary
The dizziness threatens again, but he forces it back. Blood loss can produce hallucination. He is not immune to physiology. He looks up. For a moment he thinks it is that, an artifact of injury. A projection conjured by longing too long denied. But no. He is there.

Will lowers the letter, stares at it in his lap. The fire has left his skin hot, his chest hollowed out. He feels as though the words themselves have burned into him, left him see-through, paper-thin, light bleeding through. Dear Will, I think of you often.

Summary
The radio had gone silent, and neither of them had noticed its absence. Hannibal never notices it until Will is gone, until the space between them is stretched too thin, their private haven suddenly empty, their new Jerusalem missing its most vital piece. Something is different about the radio voice that greets him today, though.
It says, Happy Valentine’s Day.
Hannibal smiles. Now they know what day it is.

Summary
Shane Hollander is the number two overall NHL draft pick and a newly minted Montreal Voyageur. He’s also laser focused on his goals: being the best by beating the best. For him, this means a continued rivalry with number one draft pick—and new Ottawa Centaur—Ilya Rozanov. But when a problem with Rozanov’s immigration paperwork threatens his future in the NHL, what does that mean for Shane’s own career? He can’t risk finding out…so they get married. Just for immigration. A fast, practical, mutually beneficial solution.
No one will ever suspect, let alone find out, that the NHL’s greatest rivals are secretly married. And there’s certainly no risk of feelings getting involved. They have a game plan.

Summary
Now it’s like being fifteen again. Worse, even. Because at fifteen he didn’t know this. Didn’t know what it felt like to ache like this. To have want turn itself into something gnawing and soft, something that crawled inside him and stayed, making a home in his ribs like a wet animal under the porch.

Summary
Will feels the old guilt stirring, ugly and thick. But under it, there’s something else. Because even now, looking at the blood drying on Hannibal’s mouth, at the way he’s still holding Will’s gaze with something so open it aches to see, Will feels that same instinct flare up again. That pull. He’s never been looked at like that before. Not by anyone human, at least.

Summary
He knew the name of every doctor, nurse, and engineer now deployed across Cardassia, and Bashir was not one of them. No one even matching his description had been logged in the transport manifests—Garak knew; he’d checked them himself. It was impossible for him to be on the planet. And yet…

Summary
Julian doesn't think about it much these days. Why should he, when it's been so long?
But when he does, if he does, well—he considers it part and parcel of Garak, that's all. Disconcerting at first, a little invasive. Awfully close to a line but not quite crossing it, and leaving Julian with absolutely no idea what he's meant to do in response. Garak in microcosm, summarized in a single unexpected gesture.
(Or: Julian has always thought Garak just had a weird little habit. Until another Cardassian does the same thing to him, and seems to imbue the gesture with a meaning Julian really had not anticipated.)
