Summary
The Abigail that he got used to in his mind doesn’t hold a candle to the real thing, and he is sure, in that very moment, in the corridor between Hannibal’s living room and kitchen, soaked in rain water and blood that is not his, that Abigail could destroy them both if she wanted.
...Abigail was meant to die in her father's kitchen, but what if they never made it there?

Summary
If the mere sight hadn’t been enough to convince Will that this is indeed happening, he would’ve been able to deduce it by ear alone.
The string of moans — high-pitched, needy sounds causing Hannibal’s sleep-rasped voice to crack on each exhale — continue to spill from his parted lips. He’s still deep in sleep, eyes closed as his gray fringe, with a feathering of silver, fans out across his sweaty forehead. A bright flush paints his usually pale cheeks, slowly creeping down his neck, while his fingers remain curled around the plush edge of a pillow.
Maybe that’s what makes this situation all the more jarring. The fact that, at least for the moment, Hannibal is blissfully unaware.

Summary
"Should I be expecting your forgiveness?" Will asked. His voice was thin from strain. Hannibal regarded him, steady as the blood thrumming through his veins.
"I do not view your actions on the bluff as a transgression. The fate you chose for us was a shared one. You may have contemplated offering me to the Dragon, but in the end, separation was an unconscionable prospect." At the mention of the Dragon, Will couldn't help but shudder. He was about to pull away, afraid Hannibal's skin would turn cold to the touch; that his lungs would fill with water in the safe harbour of their bed. Afraid of that terrifying, perverse desire to dominate—to consume.
Sensing his reticence, Hannibal's arm shifted, fingers curling stubbornly over the top of Will's palm. Warm. Strong. Alive.
Will and Hannibal recover together on a boat post-fall, and learn how to live with each other in the process.

Summary
“Do you ever miss it?” Will closed his eyes, Hannibal’s voice lulling him back into his comforting tranquility. “Being with women,” Hannibal continued and finished. He was sure his surprise at the older man’s words didn’t show. Instead, he simply replied, “Do you?”
He could practically hear the frown on his lovers face when he spoke again. “That’s different,” he said.

Summary
Hannibal moved through the study, not searching for anything... Instead, he found tucked between the pages, was a small sheet of sketch paper... A sketch. Unfinished. Of Will. Not the man in the garden... but the Will who never arrived. Who Hannibal chose and refused to become.
He didn’t remember hiding it. But he had. As a wound more than a keepsake... Outside, laughter rose from the courtyard. The man’s and Abigail’s.
Hannibal closed the book. Slipped the sketch back between the pages. And this time, he remembered putting it there.In which, when Will Graham returns to Florence, he finds the life he left behind reshaped in his absence—by a version of himself who never pulled away, and by Hannibal, who carries not only memory but something growing beneath his skin.
The man Will once hunted now moves with careful domesticity, slicing tomatoes in quiet kitchens, yet still haunted by blood. -

Summary
When his life feels like it’s held together by borrowed time and bad choices, Will Graham decides to go back to art. Never in his life he imagined that change would come in the shape of a graceful mute boy and mirrorless eyes.
Hannibal knew that W.G., William Graham, born in 1976, was a creature of habit, he took his two cups of coffee at five in the afternoon, just when the clientele was waning, so he could have the corner table beside the power outlet. Hannibal drove an hour and a half to model for money he did not need, for prey he didn’t have to make any effort to catch, in the end, it's for the performance of it all. He slipped into the role of Will’s boy, who looked him in the eyes when most people avoided him and the widespread radius of awkwardness he brought with him. That’s what Hannibal needs him to see.
...More like, Hannibal Lecter is a part-time model for a life drawing class when he isn't back at Hopkins, and Will Graham is the former detective that always clung too fast, too deeply.
Title from Adrianne Lenker's "terminal paradise", from the album abbyskiss.

Summary
Will's fingers cling to the warmth of Hannibal's skin, a once unimaginable sensation now a desperate necessity. He presses his thumb under Hannibal's chin, tilting his head up firmly.
"Everything went dark, but the scene in your office shed some light. I may have dragged you into my world today, but something tells me you might have visited long before me," Will's voice tensely hangs between them. Then Hannibal's lips twitch subtly, and Will feels the action ripple like a trapped ghost under his thumb.
Will has a doubled moment of clarity at the scene of Tobias Budge’s death.

Summary
—“I didn’t come here to stop you,” he said.
“I came because I knew I wouldn’t.”
Hannibal’s lips curved slightly.
“And you missed me.”
Will looked down at his plate.
“God help me,” he said, barely above a whisper,
“I did.”
Hannibal leaned forward just enough for the warmth of the candlelight to catch his face, eyes flickering like coals.
“You think you’ve surrendered,” he said, voice low and calm.
“But I think you’re only now becoming what you were always meant to be.”
