Summary
Kate Sharma sees Anthony Bridgerton exactly twenty times on Raya before she deigns to swipe on him. It’s a match.
But Remedial Chaos Theory dictates that a single variable can significantly alter the trajectory of a first date. In this case, all it takes is a different day.
It goes like this.

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
"You would do well to remember that people like you are best seen and not heard," Mason says sharply. "Our new friend is far less forgiving than I am, if the rumors are even half true." Will nods, and resists the urge to pet over his face and wipe Mason's scent away. "I want you to kill him, Will. Whatever it takes. Will you do it?"
"Of course, Your Majesty," Will replies, nodding. "I am your humble servant."

Summary
Hannibal Lecter becoming Will’s psychiatrist after the Hobbs shooting was a near miss.
Instead, Will managed to insist Alana became his therapist, and Jack brought Hannibal Lecter on as a consultant on the Chesapeake Ripper instead - and he immediately made his interest in Will known.
The problem with Hannibal Lecter, Will decided, wasn’t so much that he was an arrogant, overdressed, snobbish Alpha psychiatrist, but that he had no right smelling as good as he did. Will had felt a sharp stab of attraction, walking into Jack’s office the first time they met, which was not like him at all.
Then the man opened his mouth.
*
Or, one where Hannibal falls in love, and is blatantly obvious and transparent about it.
A curtain fic that grew legs, a plot and an alternate timeline. Complete.

Summary
"You're a psychiatrist," Will says. "Between your personal and professional lives you must have met thousands of people, you must know dozens of different flavors of pathology. Do you know anyone who would take me as I am? Who would be able to love me," he gestures in a sweeping motion, from his messy hair to his stained knee, "just as I am?"
"I do."
Bedelia's words shock Will into stillness.
“Really?”
AKA an AU where Bedelia is Will’s psychiatrist instead of Hannibal, Will makes a series of increasingly questionable life choices, and no one should ever take Bedelia’s advice. Ever.

Summary
“I can’t go to Europe,” Mike says, like ripping off a bandaid.
Richie momentarily considers dropping his phone in the tub to kill it, and then he remembers that it is 2017 and phones are like, waterproof now. Steve Jobs might be dead, but Richie curses him regardless.
“What the fuck, man?” he says, a little too high pitched. “Is it you Bill is divorcing? Are you his lawyer? How are these two related in any way? You can’t just—”
“Bill needs me, Richie.” Mike’s voice is gentle but firm, like that makes any sense.
“Dude, what am I going to do for 3 months? I’ve got no gigs coming up, no media appearances. Everything's on hold.”
A pause. Then Mike says, “What are you talking about, man? Eddie is still going.”
OR
Richie and Eddie try to collectively figure out their shit. In Europe!

Summary
“So Eddie, what brings you to the bar tonight?" Richie asked. "Gonna rebound from the divorce? Pick up a hot young twenty-something to feel young again?”
“Fuck you,” Eddie said, jutting his chin forward. “What a terrible way to ruin the mood.”
“I’m sorry, all my moods are poorly cultivated. What mood were you looking for?”
A nervous lump grew in Eddie's throat. He threw back his drink to get rid of it.
Hand wrapped around the glass he’d just slammed back onto the bar, he said, “The mood that gets me leaving with a schlubby forty-something.”

Summary
Eddie grabs a bottle of Elmer’s and starts tracing each letter with glue. There’s a dopey, sort of proud feeling in Richie, watching him carefully craft the letters of his name. More than when he spells out Because (which really sucked for Eddie) or Bastard (a recently learned swear.) He feels all warm and fuzzy because it’s him that Eddie chose to make his spare valentine for, since he didn’t have a dad and a mom. He could of picked Bill or Stanley, gnashing away on the other side of the table with their pinking shears, or the teacher- but he picked Richie.

Summary
“What about you, Trashmouth, you got married?” Bill asks on his right.
For a second, he thinks of saying no, because it’s the truth, but he’s never been really good with the truth and he rejects the idea immediately. Then he thinks about making a joke, because that’s part of the role too, that’s what he’s good at. Or what he used to know, now he has writers who tell him what to say and what’s funny, so maybe, his jokes aren’t good anymore. Maybe they never were.
“Yeah, I got married.”
or, Richie Tozier is back in Derry and when he sees his childhood love, he becomes the biggest idiot on Earth and invents himself a wife. Eddie is not impressed.

Summary
They’ve skipped class to do this. This; meaning the two of them sneaking off from fourth period to blow each other behind the school, down near where the property ends and the grass starts to run high.
It didn’t start off so crass, with Richie’s pants hoisted around his waist and his head thumping against the brick of the school. He’s completely out in the open and shivering because he left his windbreaker in his locker, warm only where Eddie’s hand and Eddie’s mouth is on him, fuck. It’s completely ridiculous. Absurd. Insane. And now, apparently, it’s the new normal.
Or: Eddie and Richie are Totally Straight FWBs
