    Summary

    Instinct is a powerful motivator, and the ache for warmth in the coldest time of year is older than humanity, older even than the fossils in the Museum of Natural History.

    When Hannibal comes to Randall with the task to kill Will Graham, Randall is aware of the manipulation that brought on his loyalty. Nevertheless, the craving for his former psychiatrist‘s approval and affection outweighs, and he gathers his things for what‘s without a doubt a suicide mission.

    It doesn‘t go to plan, and he‘s thrust into a new existence that feels like freedom for the first time.

    Or:

    There are so little Randall Tier centric fanfictions that I'm desperate enough to write one myself.

    Summary

    A Season 2 AU in which Will Graham did not, at any point, accuse Hannibal of being the Chesapeake Ripper.

    Will Graham is the smartest person most people will ever have the misfortune to meet. Hannibal Lecter has been no exception; he's brilliant, but his failing is that he assumes he's the mastermind in every situation. He still thinks Will didn't pick up on every weird joke, every coincidence, every threat disguised as a charming quip, every flashing neon sign that screams "Hannibal Lecter is the Chesapeake Ripper!"

    Now, Will has to decide what he wants from Hannibal. For the first time in his life, it seems like there's a possibility that somebody might be close enough to his level for a real connection. Hannibal is an apex predator in a garish suit, blind to Will's superior camouflage, and the Ripper's obsession with Agent Graham is so obvious it's drawing attention from... undesirable sources. If Will can manipulate everything to his desired outcome, Hannibal could become the equal Will has always wanted.

    If he wants to protect their fragile peace, it'll take a lot more than just Hannibal Lecter.

    That's fine. After all, Will has never been able to stop himself at just one stray.

    Summary

    Abigail's life was defined by an utter lack of agency, lack of choices, lack of power. She was dealt with the worst hand and forced to bet on it. Everything she tried was too little, too late.

    She was ready for her life to end on a tragic note, as the sad tale of the girl that didn't know what else to do.

    And then, for the first time, she was given a choice.

    (or: Abigail goes back in time, and this time she'll make things go her way, no matter the cost)
