    Summary

    “Hannibal.” Alana says, her voice breaking on his name. It brings his attention back to her, and now he finds grief so powerful it hits him right against his ribcage. “Hannibal… It’s been days. I don’t think they’re going to find Will’s…” She pauses to swallow against the tears. “You didn’t kill him. I know you didn’t. But I don’t think he’s alive.”

    “Will Graham is resilient.” He bites back, though the first strings of doubt are starting to creep across his senses, no matter how hard he tries to push them down. He looks away, not wanting to see her heartbroken expression. “He is resourceful and clever, and stronger than you believe.”

    There’s another pregnant pause before she speaks again. “You were a psychiatrist, Hannibal. You know what the stages of grief are. You’re in denial.”

    Hannibal wakes up in the hospital after the fall and finds out that Will has disappeared, and is thought to be dead. Hannibal knows better though, he knows Will is alive. He isn't grieving. He just... isn't.

    Summary

    Will lets out a gasp, which is decidedly the worst thing he could do because Hannibal is on him in a second, pulling him close, tucking him against his chest, and rubbing his hands up and down Will’s body through the mountain of blankets. Will lets him do this, realizing now that Hannibal isn’t here in the present with him, but somewhere colder and less kind where there was blood in the snow and a devastating loss to come.

    Will arrives home after walking through a blizzard, fully expecting an angry husband, but instead finds a traumatized little boy, terrified of the cold and haunted by what he's already lost.

    Summary

    Will Graham has always had trouble with taste. His empathy, which easily picks up on emotions swirling around him, has tainted his tongue. Every home-cooked meal is a curse, flavored with thoughts and emotions he doesn't want. After years of trying to deal with others' cooking, Will has resigned himself to a life of anonymous fast food and frozen dinners — things that don't trigger his empathy.

    But when a new doctor shows up and insists on feeding him, Will's palate will be challenged for the first time in years.

    Basically: Will can taste feelings, and Hannibal's got some "crème fraîche" he'd like Will to try...

    Story is complete and with updates posted Wednesdays.

    Summary

    “I think I’m dying.”

    Hannibal blinks, feeling blindsided, before a surge of relentless anger floods every corner of his body. Will stares with that same vacant mask he’s built, giving nothing away.

    “You are not dying.” He replies, sure as can be. Of course, Will isn’t dying. Ridiculous boy, how could he—

    “Maybe I should.”

    And Hannibal freezes.

    Blood, bones, and tar all turn to ice. His spine straightens without his permission and Hannibal leans back, fixing his unmoving boy with a blank stare that reflects a calmness that he no longer feels.

    Will drops his eyes, clenches his hands into fists, then releases. “Maybe I should just let whatever this is…” He swallows hard. “Kill me.”
    _________________

    Will calls Hannibal in a panic after he sleepwalks and ends up in the woods. Hannibal finds him and gets him home safely, but there are more than just nightmares and exhaustion crawling around in Will's mind now, and Hannibal begins to realize that perhaps he pushed too far.
