Hello dear Fannibals, and welcome to Fresh Meat Friday’s Roundup post for the end of May 2018! This post gathers all the recs posted on Tumblr this month under the #Fresh Meat Friday tagso they’re in one easy-to-find place.Many thanks to all who took part and congratulations to our rec’d creators! Until next time, stay hungry!
Just a quick reminder: Tumblr is often rude and doesn’t show us every rec, no matter how hard we look. If we missed yours, just send us an ask with the information with a link to the post, and we’ll get it on next month’s round up. 🙂
Fic:
@zigzag-wanderer rec’d by@cinnamaldeide for Hold Me Up To The Flame – A delicate and poetic work about Will being an uninspired, spent poet, who maybe finds again his muse in the inconspicuous figure of a trash collector. It’s more likely than many stories where Hannibal is a dubiously ethical psychiatrist. … the author impossibly twists the events and changes every circumstance, so that none would explicitly present as they did in the original work, but enlightens a new path, a parallel one if one likes, directed towards the same direction. I didn’t know such a thing could be done. But It can. And thank God it can. This story is not finished yet and it’s going to kill me slowly and inexorably, but it’s just the kind of death I want. This story is totally worth it.
@frostyleegraham rec’d by@krey-9-jorce – The most enthusiastic Lee Fallon’s creator!! All I gotta say is check xe out, xe has a paradise of rare pair ships to enjoy!! Most of them features lovely Lee Fallon x"“”“DDDD
For @freshmeatfriday i’m indicating the delightful fic, an ABO Hannigram Pride and Prejudice AU.
Williamshooketh rec’d by @tiggymalvern for As Smoke to Flame – This is 3000 words of season two Hannigram, with conflicted!Will in a desperately unhealthy relationship and knowing it, and wanting what he wants anyway. Description that’s both concise and beautiful and perfectly pitched in tone. Cruelty was intimacy with different clothes on and a different name. When they did touch each other, finally, it was because of the cruelty and the tenderness.
@avegetariancannibal rec’d by@copperore for Je me souviens – Beautifully melancholic and amazing storytelling. Mind the tags, but it’s a loving story and it will stay with you.
@melythemac rec’d by@planetstarclaw for Sacred Monsters– I don’t understand how this story has managed to fly under the radar for so long. I only stumbled upon it yesterday evening and it goes without saying that I tore through the available chapters in record time. It’s stories like this that take the time to delve into the specifics of a time and place that make reading fic such an enjoyable experience. The subject matter is so fascinating and the evolution of Will under Hannibal’s musical tutelage has me at the edge of my seat.The story has just hit an extremely critical point so it’s a wonderful time for new readers to jump in.
This fic is just the cutest. I love seeing these two dorks trying to be flirty and the operative word is trying here. They are doing such an awkward dance around each other and yet the atmosphere is light and humorous and super lovely.
As always Fannibals, thanks again for participating in Fresh Meat Friday!
Imagine all of the ways they would spell Hannibal’s name wrong at Starbucks.
Depends on the country:
Henniball
Honeyball
Hunnibal
Hanibal
“Venti mocha frap for Honeyball!”
5. Annabelle
6. Isabel
7. Amble
8. H-Ball (that’s your rapper name. you’re welcome, man)
9. Mandible
AU where Will works at Starbucks and at first he fucks up Hanni’s name accidentally, but then he keeps doing it on purpose and Hanni starts to seriously consider making a Will sausage, but then he decides he actually prefers Will’s sausage.
I’d read that, someone should definitely write it.
Would Hannibal be petty enough to get Will’s name wrong in return?
“Handball, your order is ready!” “Thank you, Bill.”
I went and got a Starbucks with his name, they spelled it Hanibal. XD
Hannigram, after Will convinces Hannibal that grilling is an acceptable form of cooking food
Someone: So what’s your favorite fact about Hanniba-
Me: MICKEY MOUSE. WAS VOICED BY. THE ACTOR WHO PLAYED. THE SOCIAL WORKER. INSIDE THE HORSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT
Yeah the actor who played the evil social worker has done a lot of roles. For instance, he was on Burn Notice for a while. He’s also played a Batman villain a bunch of times. One of his roles was (and still is, he is currently doing this) the voice of Mickey Mouse.
Liz Baessler Recaps: This in-depth analysis recap series combines screencaps and detailed breakdowns to offer new perspectives on every episode!!! An excellent, thought provoking, series of articles!
DorkShelf Recaps: In the meanwhile, if you’re dying to gnaw on some fresh meta thoughts, check out these cool recaps, which come highly recommended as “some seriously great meta mixing the gothic novel themes, cinematography elements, seduction tropes, gaze issues, sinners and innocents, et al. – with a good proportion of fact-checking with the Harris lore.”
Fannibal Friday Recaps: A new series of recaps done by a fellow Fannibal, @ishipthemsogoddamnhard, which are posting here (NEW LOCATION!!!) every week for the next 39 weeks!!! They are designed to keep us in fresh thoughts from now until the rights expire in August!
Wayward Fannibal Analyses: A collection of meta thoughts and discussions about the show, the episodes and the characters! The project of the site is to seek analytical impartiality and present Hannibal mostly without opinion! Additionally, they are working on their own transcription of Dolarhyde’s ledger, with some fabulous results!!
The Daily Fandom Recaps by Kirsty: An academic examination of each episode, the recaps discuss aspects of film such as camera angle, shot color and lighting!!!
"Technically, you killed him."
