    Summary

    Doctor Lecter holds the scalpel in Will's hands between two fingers, eyes shiny with something like awe for the first time in their short acquaintance. It is the same look his father gives him the first time he sees Will’s trick in person. It is the same one Doctor Bloom gives him when he offers her the wilting peony tucked tight to his chest, back when it didn’t upset her to see.

    “Very good, Will,” he whispers, and Will - barely awake, hand clutching the instrument as one meaning to write with it instead of sever - nods, and leans into the hand at his neck.

    ---

    Will Graham’s imagination can pull things into reality from dreams.

    At the behest of the US government, Doctor Hannibal Lecter has been hired to maintain his mental and physical health within the institution that keeps him.
