Summary
Will chose a booth tucked into the corner, one that gave him a clear view of both the front door and the back exit. Old habits died slowly, if ever.
A young woman approached with a notepad in hand. She had kind eyes and a name tag that read Molly.
Before she could say a word, Will cut her off.
“An Americano,” he said. “Four shots of espresso.”Her eyebrows lifted—not sharply, but with the kind of surprise that suggested she’d seen a lot, just maybe not that.
“Well,” she said after a beat, “I was mildly annoyed you didn’t let me speak first, but now I’m a little intrigued.” A faint smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.
“Oh, I’m sure both things can be true at once,” Will muttered, waving a hand vaguely, as if gesturing to the universe itself. “A paradox and all that.”
Molly chuckled softly. “I’ll get right on that. You look like you need it. And maybe a friend to listen, if you’re open to it.” She gave him a quick wink and turned back toward the counter.
Or, 11 months after Hannibal turns himself in Will meets Molly and tells her the great Hamnigram Love story because why not.

Summary
Molly hadn't loved the idea of spending the night before their wedding apart, but she understood that love, that relationships were hard for Will. She understood that Will had quirks and peculiars like this, she understood that Will would spend tonight drinking and tomorrow morning trying to medicate his hangover before the ceremony tomorrow, she understood that Will wouldn't want her to see him like this when he cannot hide the worst of himself. She understands too much, he takes too much, the fire in his blood is too much. Hannibal would've pushed, pried, would've tried to strip him bare to see and know every synapse and dendrite in his brain. But Hannibal is very far away now, a thirty minute drive to the Baltimore Hospital for the Criminally Insane and two years of distance between them.
Tomorrow, Will Graham becomes a husband, and all he can think of is him.

Summary
Molly tasted faintly of mint and mostly of the eggs she had already taken a forkful of right there in the kitchen. Will wondered whether she could taste Hannibal inside his own mouth the way he did.
If she could, she did not say.
She never did say anything, really.
Enjoy the front row seat to the shitshow of epic proportions that is Will Graham's short-lived marital life. Sit back and relax as he navigates the complexities of love lost, betrayal, and the passage of time. Observe his total inability to escape memories which haunt relentlessly, unforgiving flashbacks, and—to top it all off—an unceremonious and wildly ill-timed comeback of his whilom tendencies to see and hear things which aren't really there. Or are they?

Summary
Will Graham recovers from Hannibal after his incarceration and finds life in church and Molly, but he can't hide from what he really wants. Hannibal. (Based during the time skip and post-fall)
|| “Do you know how much I gave up?” Will said from the doorway, where he was leaning. The days blurred together, Will sat at the beach. Paced, fished, felt the aches in his body until he couldn’t think, picked at dinner, wondered how they could have been so close on that cliffside, and how they were so distant now. He wanted to punch Hannibal, he wanted to claw his chest open, he wanted that feeling in his bed with Molly: The misdirected warm feeling his chest refused to feel for anyone but Hannibal. I want you to hold me too close. He had announced to her eyes, her perfection, her life. Now all he wanted was to be crashing into Hannibal until they were nothing but a pile of broken body parts and blood. Why couldn’t they have died in those waves? ||

Summary
A study of what Will (probably) did after his meeting with Bedelia in 'The Number of the Beast is 666.' Mostly a study of what might have been going through Will's mind. Very dialogue light, very sorry if you came here looking for character interactions.
Also emetophobia warning.
(Title from 'Rats' by Ghost. Also stream IMPERA it's so amazing)
