Summary
A full Hannibal NBC retelling/AU where Will did “stick to repairing boat motors in Louisiana.” His life in a small town is trapped in uneasy peace - until bodies begin turning up in the swamp, all killed the same way. While out on the river, he runs into one of the scenes and makes a startling discovery: he can almost see what happened and understand why the killer did it - and it terrifies him. He flees the scene, but is soon tracked down by the BAU for his involvement in the scene, forcing him to confess what he saw and become involved in the investigation or be blamed for a crime he did not commit. Doubting his story, Jack decides to have an esteemed, oddly charismatic profiler and psychiatrist from Baltimore profile Will to determine whether he is a suspect or an asset. As Will speaks with the Doctor and grows closer to him, he begins to doubt his own memory and innocence, and it seems that whether he's found guilty or not he will never return to any sort of peaceful life again.
CW: Violence typical of Hannibal, though I avoid overly detailed descriptions. Mentions/themes of anxiety/depression and suicidal thoughts from !depressedwill, themes of manipulation/control. Slowburn because Will hates Lecter's guts.
