Identically Different by Pragnificent (PragmaticHominid), sparkyhero

Summary
AU where Hannibal is an FBI profiler troubled by his own potential for violence and Will is a psychiatrist and serial killer.
When Hannibal doesn’t answer, Will says, “This must be an awful shock to you.”
His voice is slurred. At first, Hannibal had attributed it to large gash he'd left in Will’s left cheek, but he realizes now that Will is tremendously drunk.
“No,” Hannibal says, slowly, as the pieces begin to slide into place for him. “In retrospect, it’s not that surprising at all.”

Summary
Just as Will steps inside the Brooklyn Art Museum, the dead begin to rise.
Attempting to escape, Will finds Francis Dolarhyde, who has broken his leg while evading the zombies. Given the circumstances, it takes Will some time to clock him as the Red Dragon, but Dolarhyde knows exactly who Will Graham is.
They escape in Dolarhyde’s van and set out to find their loved ones, heading first for Molly’s home and then Reba’s.
Meanwhile, Hannibal is safe from the walking dead inside his glass cage; they can't get in but neither can he get out, and with all the BSHCI staff either dead or fled he is faced with the prospect of slow starvation.
All his hopes hinge on Will coming to see him again, but as the hordes of undead grow and civilization falls, road travel becomes increasingly more difficult, and Will doesn't know if he will make it there in time.

Attachment by Pragnificent (PragmaticHominid) for ByJoveWhatASpend
Fandoms: Hannibal (TV)

Summary
Hannibal is out shopping when the small boy runs up to him and bites him on the hand.
It is not a playful act. The child bites hard, and then he grinds his teeth in and holds on.
There is for Hannibal a moment of outrage, in which he considers striking the child to knock him away. Hannibal’s face curls, for just a microsecond, into a snarl, and astonishingly he realizes that the boy, who is looking up at him with fearsome defiance, his jaws still locked around the side of his hand, has not missed this.
Hannibal sets his face to communicate a shocked but stoic response to the assault, and this is what his father sees, when perhaps three seconds later he crouches next to the boy to coax him into loosening his hold.
AKA, the one where Will is the single father of a troubled little boy, and Hannibal is enchanted by them both.

Summary
A roleswitch AU in which FBI profiler Hannibal buys a home haunted by the ghost of serial killer Will.
The entrance to the secret room is well-hidden, but Hannibal finds his way inside.
There’s a light switch on the wall next to the doorway, and when Hannibal flicks it on a long series of hanging fluorescent lights flicker back to life, illuminating the kill room.
Tools and implements of torture hang from pegboard along the walls, and at the end of the narrow space a large red-painted storage chest sits.
There’s a smell to the room. It’s faint - dusty and dry and old - but Hannibal knows it for what it is. It’s a death smell, and it’s coming from the storage chest.This story can be viewed as a part of my larger Identically Different role reversal AU, or as companion piece to Hungry Ghost. However, it can also stand on its own, and you will not need to read either of the above stories in order to understand this one.

Summary
Part Two of the AU where Hannibal is a troubled FBI profiler and Will is a psychiatrist and serial killer.
He lifts his head and kisses Will again, and he knows that Will can taste his blood and that the taste excites him because when Hannibal draws back Will’s hands skitter down Hannibal’s stomach and reach eagerly for his fly.
Hannibal brushes the fingers away gently. He takes Will’s hands in his own, but lightly, as though they are a moth that might be easily crushed. “Not yet.”
Will frowns. “Please,” he says. Not a plea this time.

Summary
Hannibal simply waits, curious, to see what the ghost will do next.
He is not terribly surprised when the face appears in the bathroom mirror, watching from behind his right shoulder.
It’s no horror show mask, no nightmare creature. The face is gaunt and the faded blue eyes are haunted, but aside from a faint sense of opacity it is not discernible from that of a living person. The face is handsome, in fact, almost angelic in its classical beauty for all its weariness.
Gift for fatal_drum, who requested the following:
Hannibal moves into a new house. He lives alone, but sometimes he could swear he sees a flash of blue eyes behind him in the mirror. When he takes his first victim into the basement, he can feel someone watching him. Hungrily. -

Summary
The roses drew Hannibal to the castle.
The soft light of the full moon fell on the tangles of white roses in such a way that they seemed nearly to glow, and Hannibal was so taken in by their beauty that he wandered far into the castle grounds, cutting the largest and brightest blooms from the bushes as he went, heedless of the thorns.
He found himself drawn even more powerfully to the Beast, and though Will tried at first to drive him away, Hannibal was sure that they had much in common.
(Now with Beast!Will and Hannibal art).

Le Meilleur Des Mondes Possibles by Pragnificent (PragmaticHominid) for JonathansNightFlight

Summary
This is an extremely depressing and painful little story about two alternative universe versions of my Identically Different AU.
In one world, Will kills Hannibal in the basement and the other Hannibal beats Will to death, leaving the respective survivor to face the repercussions of his actions.
Has a happy ending, actually, but I suspect that won't make the rest of it sting much less.
