I had this AU where Will died after the fall and Hannibal just went to Hell to reclaim him and crossed Dante’s Inferno circles. He found Will and they both killed the Devil, thinking it was the only way to get out of here… But Lucifer’s throne cannot be empty. Will had to take the Devil’s place despite himself and sent Hannibal back with the living as his servant…
You just let a hungry-looking couple into your home to feed them. As you go to turn off the TV, you hear, “under no circumstances should you answer the door today. They are not what they seem. And whatever you do, don’t let them inside…”
I paused the episode and needed to lie down for ten minutes because Hannibal swooning over Will in the light of the fireplace and comparing them to Achilles and Patroclus is perhaps the gayest thing I’ve ever seen.
This one scene successfully out-gayed anything I have ever witnessed across any and all film and literary canons and also my own life. I could live for decades and never be this gay no matter how hard I try.
do you think if that period of time where will and hannibal were literally profiling each other’s crime scenes had been extended they would have gotten really petty. like “the killer probably needs to commit to whatever relationship he’s in right now because his lover is getting restless” “hmm…this killer has mixed feelings about dog hair in his apartment” “fascinating how this killer hasn’t done the dishes in a month”
😂
Hannibal: This killer is hurt that his beloved leaves the toilet seat up, causing him to fall into the bowl in the wee hours of the morning
Will: TURN ON THE DAMN LIGHT FIRST!
Jack: …
Will: …is what I would say to the killer.
But there are good days too.
“This killer is so hot when he wears that red sweater…”
“And this one does the tongue thing so well…”
“Do you notice that this killer specifically bent the corpse the way the other killer bends him when…?”
Jack: I UNDERSTOOD! OK? IT DOESN’T SEEM SO, BUT I DID!
Will: The killer once wore antlers on his head and tiny black underpants and pranced about the bedroom while his boyfriend chased after him with a feather duster
Jack: That’s…oddly specific
Will: It’s his design, Jack.
Hannibal: *surreptitiously brushes a feather out of his hair*
A patron requested roleswap Hannibal and Will, specifically the sniffing scene =w= Also submitting this for @hannibalcreative‘s current theme, In Your Skin~
Edit: just realized I’m a day early for the fest OOPS SORRY
I tried to imagine what Will would wear if he had millions (billions?) of dollars in multiple bank accounts and I decided maybe he’d still dress in expensive clothes but really boring XD Meanwhile Hannibal dresses in cheap clothes but still tries to be more fashionable, and spends 3 months of his salary on fancy aftershave XDD Also he invests a lot of his time into things like this: https://www.gq.com/story/tailoring-tricks-for-cheap-suits He probably wouldn’t have had the chance to develop the same hobbies of drawing and music but maybe he’s really good at doing his own tailoring :3
It’s interesting to imagine the change in dynamic based on their clothes… In canon Will probably had trouble getting over the hurdle of Hannibal’s clothing/wealth because a kid who grew up broke would probably not have a lot of respect for people who blow tens of thousands of dollars on an outfit. I could see Hannibal, in Will’s place, disrespecting Will because he can easily afford the things Hannibal wants but chooses to dress down all the time. Meanwhile Will looks at Hannibal’s cheap clothes the same way Hannibal looks at Will in canon and is like “I wanna dress you in the nice shit, baby, come murder with me.”
