    Summary

    With a tremor threatening to shake his body, he slips his fingers under the edge of his shirt sleeve and pulls it up to his elbow. His soulmark is laid bare before your eyes. The wound that he had left in his own skin when he had tried to carve out the design has faded to a raised, pale line.
    “That wasn’t there before,” you murmur, taking his forearm in your hands. Your pointer finger traces over the scar.

    Summary

    "Thought we lost you." His voice is a crackle; sap popping as it burns in the fire. The log charring in the kindling. There was a battle in his head; artillery fire in the gaps of his eyes. "Thought we— fuck, pet. Thought you were gone, and we couldn't do a damn thing about it."

    His knuckles graze the mark in your temple, gentle around the tight, irritated flesh—it's proof that you lived, that despite the tragedy of the betrayal from the man you counted on the most, you survived. You made it. You won.

    His touch is featherlight. But his eyes–

    His eyes are heavy with the promise of nothing but ruin.

    (it's like holding a lit cigarette to your pulse.)

    Summary

    “You know, poppies were once associated with Hypnos, the Greek god of sleep," Hannibal muses. "In another myth, they were created by Demeter so she could sleep after the loss of her daughter, Persephone.”

    Will blinks at him. "Are you saying this dog is gonna cure my nightmares? Just because I named her Poppy?"

     

    Or: Will brings home a stray dog and struggles with his feelings towards Hannibal.
