    Summary

    To devour, and be devoured, he thinks, as he slips the key into the lock. To devour and be devoured, he muses, as he helps unclasp Laios’ cloak with hands far steadier than his nerves; this close, he catches the vague scent of candle flame, the iron tang of wet ink - the fresh, crisp smell of a new book. To devour, he thinks - as he catches Laios’ gaze, tracking his movements, before the other averts his eyes - as if he as been caught, cheeks a pale shade of pink; and be devoured, he thinks - as Laios sits on the edge of his bed; thinks how easy it would be, simply to step forward, to tilt his chin up and kiss him, what might happen if his feelings were reciprocated -

    - arousal lances through him; white-hot, fist-clenching - his stomach lurches.

    “No,” he says, instead - keeps a respectful arm’s length apart, as he watches Laios tug off his boots, his eyes tracking the flex of muscle under his tunic sleeves, the careful concentration in his eyes, as he works to unlace the tops. “No, I think I understand what you mean, when you say that.”

    Or: the adventures of Kabru, master overthinker.

    Summary

    The summer after the return of the Golden Country drips by in a warm haze.

    They are needed everywhere, so they travel everywhere. Each day is a new vision of the world — valley and forest, salted earth, miles of coast where there was once only ocean.

    Summary

    Ann signs Ryuji up for the gay dating app Partnr behind his back. She claims it’s a labor of love, an attempt to get him out of the dance studio and out on a date. Ryuji thinks it’s all an elaborate scam so she can skip their Moscato Mondays in favor of going on real dates with her new girlfriend.

    Ryuji doesn’t intend on keeping the app for more than a week. He doesn’t intend on hitting it off with a stranger using pics of the rising idol Ak★ra for his profile. He doesn’t expect the stranger to be the real thing. And Ryuji definitely doesn’t expect the idol to worm his way into his life.

    Summary

    It was an engagement ring, that was for sure, but that didn‘t mean it was for Will, right?
    But he knew it probably –definately- maybe –obviously- was.
    How else could one interpret a ring found hidden in the house of a long term couple?

    Summary

    Frederick Chilton is a radio DJ stuck with the least popular slot (midnight to 4 A.M. every Monday through Saturday!) on Baltimore’s local alternative/indie station. Will Graham is an FBI profiler with awful insomnia, who finds comfort in driving late at night to the soothing playlist that comes from 97.9 FM. He occasionally emails and texts the DJ on for those few hours, signing all contact as his latest hallucination--The Ravenstag.

    Months into this relationship, on another sleepless night, Will decides to seek out more. He calls into the radio channel, all nervous energy as Frederick picks up. Will offers to bring him coffee, maybe a snack if he’s hungry. Frederick agrees, and Will thinks that he sounds more insecure than usual.

    One cup of coffee turns into two, then the trip becomes a weekly occurrence, and doubles again. Will finds himself in the lobby of the radio tower as Frederick has a playlist running. Their chemistry is tangible, and Frederick wastes no time in convincing Will that they should be more than friends. Will lets himself dive headfirst into what seems to be the healthiest relationship he’s ever been in, only to find himself quickly backpedaling when the case he’s working on turns deadly.

    Summary

    “I know what you are, and I have proof,” Will said, swallowing thickly at something lodged in his throat. Fear, most likely. But perhaps something else. Perhaps the delightful feeling of his heart in his throat and the taste of power making saliva pool behind his teeth. “I’ve been following you. And I’ve got pictures.”

    “I’m afraid I’m not certain what you’re referring to, though it is highly inappropriate for you to be stalking your psychiatrist,” Hannibal said, his words cool as he brushed a hand aside to straighten his files, concealing the brush of his fingers to a scalpel.

    “Yes, you do. But I’m not going to turn you in. I’m telling you this so you’ll help me. I have someone I want you to kill.” His hands slid over his desk, away from the scalpel.

    After discovering the identity of the infamous Chesapeake Ripper is his new therapist, sixteen-year-old Will Graham, who struggles with violent fantasies, decides to take advantage. He has someone he wants Hannibal to kill, and he won't take no for an answer. But their tentative partnership turns into a more romantic one, even as Jack Crawford get closer to unveiling the Chesapeake Ripper.

    Summary

    Will Graham is hunting a monster.

    When fate and circumstance bring him into the path of Doctor Hannibal Lecter, Will descends beneath the surface of high society in search of the murderer he seeks. But the deeper their relationship gets, the muddier the waters grow—the desire for understanding is a desperate hunger that lives inside them both.

    For hidden inside Will is the shadow of… something. It sees Hannibal’s secrets, hemorrhages the true intent of the Chesapeake Ripper’s crimes via an anonymous website: the only one who has ever seen, ever understood. It's an insight that presents itself alongside Will’s genderfluid nature, shifting from one day to the next.

    With his whole world on one side and a brand new life on the other, Will balances on a thread as thin and translucent as fishing line, a dazzling lure. A mutual potential lives between them that might prove too irresistible for Hannibal to ignore—

    —and one sharp slice may be enough to cut bait.

    Summary

    What if Hannibal never consulted for the FBI and they met on their way to a forensic psychology conference instead?

    _____

    “Are you headed to LA for business or pleasure,” he asked.

    Will was relieved to see that the rude man’s shoulders were pointed toward the aisle seat. After perhaps a second too long, the man on the aisle said “neither” in a neutral, clipped way. And Will detected an accent somewhere in the word – the r was much softer than an American might say it. “I am not going to LA at all, merely transferring planes.”

    “Are you headed to Hawaii for that CSI conference then?”

    “CSI…” the man replied, confused but with no real curiosity behind the prompt.

    “Well the stewardess said something about a forensics conference.”

    “Ah yes,” came the velvety voice, “forensic psychology. Yes, I am attending that conference.”

    “So what is that then, forensic psychology?”

    “It’s the study of humans – why they do what they do.” The man paused for a moment, then added, somewhat pointedly: “Specifically, why they kill.”

    Summary

    "If I were still a cop, nobody would have called it brave," Will replied. "Then I would've just been doing my job."

    "But you're no longer an officer of the law," Dr. Lecter said, though the words didn't have the force of a rebuttal. "I'm curious; what brought you from law enforcement to ministry?"

    Summary

    “You’re not going to try to discourage me, Will?”

    Another glance, a pursing of lips. “... No. I can see the determination in your face. You know what you want and you have the means to obtain it. Most clients think they know what they want- until they hear how long it will take and how much that work will cost. We’ll work out some numbers, of course, and draft a contract. If you’re willing to be patient with the piece then I’m willing to give it my best go.”

    A small, pleased smile spread across the psychiatrist’s face. “I think this is the start of a beautiful partnership, Will. I look forward to working with you.”
    ——-
    Or the one where Hannibal has found a lost treasure and Will has given up on police work and has turned his talents to restoring oil paintings.

    "Harry,

    We’ll be coming to get you in a few weeks. Just securing a place for us now. Custody should be completely settled by then. Keep an eye out for a Ministry owl if you haven’t already gotten one. I reckon they’d like your opinion on the whole thing. You have my permission to cuss at them if you’d like.

    Sirius and Remus

    PS: How’s your French?"
