    Summary

    “There’s something else. Something underneath the three-piece suits and the harpsichord and the ‘feast for the intellect’ routine. I don’t know how to say it without sounding insane, but it’s like…” Will’s voice dropped, raw. “It’s like I’ve known you before. Not in a past-life, woo-woo way. More like I’ve lived an entire lifetime with you already , arguing in some kitchen I’ve never seen, waking up beside you in a bed I don’t own, watching you cut thyme with that same steady hand and knowing exactly how your mouth tastes at four in the morning. And then I blink, and it’s gone, but the echo’s still in my bones.”

    The car rolled to a stop at a red light. Silence pulsed between them, thick as blood...

    Summary

    “Hannibal Lecter,” he finally says and extends his hand, he prays the man shakes it.

    He eyes it suspiciously for a second, like he didn’t expect the gesture, but grasps it firmly. His hand is warm and rough, littered with tiny cuts and white scars.

    “Will Graham,” he introduces himself. “Wow, your hand is cold.” Hannibal didn’t notice. “Sorry, that was rude, uh, are you lost though? Are you alright?” Will asks again, he is yet to let go off Hannibal’s hand and Hannibal sure as fuck is not going to let go first.

    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

    “Mischa saw me from the very beginning. Relished in the parts of me that others found worrisome.”
    “You weren’t–” Will started, but he didn’t know how to finish the sentence.
    “Who I am now? No. Not then.”
    “I made you,” Will said. “You’re my own creation, built around the wound of me.”
    “Everything I am has always been for you. Since the day you were born."
    “You liken me to god.”
    “Shouldn’t I? Dead and then risen.”

    Or

    Will is Mischa, taken and adopted, and finds Hannibal years later. Canon compliant until it's not.

    Summary

    Plagued by nightmares, Will flips on the TV to a weird antenna public access channel, just to have something to help him fall asleep. In the twilight between unconsciousness and waking, he sees a strange commercial that must have been a dream. The next morning, determined to investigate, he discovers a strip mall that, unbeknownst to him, is owned by Hannibal Lecter and features businesses such as Stammets Mushroom Boutique and Queen Bee Acupuncture. But the strangest establishment by far is owned by Mr. Jones -- a restaurant flanked by dancing mascots called Jones Good Ass Barbecue, where each customer gets a foot massage from Georgia with any purchase.

    But Hannibal recognizes Will from Tattlecrime.com. Is our intrepid profiler in danger? Or only in danger of getting the best foot massage of his life?

    The OG fic that lit the FAD server fire for the AUgust challenge and the nichest of the niche Commercial/Infomercial or Public Access TV AU!
