    Summary

    Will Graham has been running since he was a boy. From the blood that stained a Louisiana sanctuary. From the voices that thundered through his father’s pulpit. From the darkness that opened its eyes and fixed them on him.

    He told himself it was gone. That distance and silence could keep him safe. But deep down he always knew the truth.

    One day, hell would catch up with him.

    And now, it has.

    This fic is heavily inspired by the album Preacher's Daughter by Ethel Cain mixed with canon events. You do not have to have listened to it or know any story behind it to read.

    Summary

    If it were anyone else, his tone would have been teasing, and the thoughtful lift of his brow would have been playful, and the tilt to his mouth would have leaned closer to a warm smile.

    As it is, only bits and pieces make it through Kageyama’s careful repression, shining like irrepressible dawn through tiny cracks in a window shade, and Teruki blinks rapidly, something like sunspots dancing across his eyes.

    A Dolce alternative. What if Hannibal had stopped of his own volition? What if he had been forced to leave Will behind? What might they both have done with the pieces?

    Summary

    Will knew what had happened. He knew exactly how Abigail's ear had gotten into him, who had shoved it down his throat. He also knew that trying to indicate Hannibal as a killer again was futile. Jack seemed to want to believe him, going by the conversation in the BSHCI's visitor hall, but Jack needed something concrete, evidence. Hannibal had eluded capture for so long, he wasn't going to start leaving fingerprints or hairs at his crime scenes now.

    No, Will was going to deal with Hannibal Lecter on his own terms. The man deserved to reap what he'd so carefully sowed, didn't he? He deserved to experience what he'd coaxed forth from the bottom of Will's soul, to see the result of his machinations.

    ---

    After his release from the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, Will doesn't return to work for the FBI.
