I feel like this moment specifically you can see Will genuinely enjoying himself in Hannibal's company AND the EXACT moment he scolds himself for it while remembering what Hannibal has done to him.

Post-fall, Hannibal has to resuscitate Will, and beyond his initial panic, he finds the experience wildly erotic. Giving Will's breath back to him, but only from Hannibal’s lips and lungs directly.
Thinking about mating scars:
Alpha Hannibal who can't help but give a deep mating bite practically EVERY TIME he knots his omega creating a patchwork network of scars that completely cover his neck and shoulders.

Hannibal misses Will desperately when they separate. After days of him being away and not slated to return for several more nights, he caves.
I love the contrast of these two scenes and how deftly it exemplifies their relationship with Hannibal.
2.13 - Alana is unwillingly and blindly submerged by 'insidious' darkness.
3.01 - Bedelia slips 'behind the veil' with her eyes open.
Hannibal takes that in, a sad smile as he fingers the corkscrew, contemplating killing Will with it. Instead, he uses the tip to cut the seal on the wine bottle.

Silence of the lambs or Clarice plotline. I love the movie a lot, but Will's character has already been so intertwined with Clarice's character, I think it would be weird/forced.

“I’m very careful about what I put into my body. Which means I end up preparing most meals myself. A little protein scramble to start the day. Some eggs, some sausage.”
One last photo before bed.
I had the most amazing couple of days between photos, autos, the panel, but the best part by far was meeting so many wonderful fannibals 🥹♥️ I truly never expected to meet you all EVER let alone so many friends all at once!

I've been daydreaming of a post -fall verse where Will isn't necessarily *bad* at killing, but every time they go on a hunt together he ends up hurt in some way or another.

"I thought we were past trying to hurt one another." Hannibal announced, looking put out as he pulled the bottle of Tabasco from the paper grocery bag Will had just set on the counter.
WILL GRAHAM: You called us "murder husbands."
FREDDIE LOUNDS: You did run off to Europe together.
Will's expression here. He can't escape or deny the honeymoon allegations. Is it just me or is there a hint of fond reminiscence?
Buffet Froid never fails to kill me. Will KNEW that something was wrong with him, but his faith in Hannibal and his influence pushed him away from seeing another doctor. 🥺 It makes me seek out fics where he finds out and cures his encephalitis without Hannibal knowing.
Love seeing Hannibal's influence on Will over the course of S1.
01.02 - Hannibal's response to Will asking "Did God feel good about that?"
01.12 - Will's response to Abigail asking "Feel like you were doing something wrong when you were killing my dad?"

Hannibal was ecstatic.
The meat Will presented to him was easily identifiable as a portion of tenderloin most likely taken from Ms. Lounds. Relatively lean, it was a lovely cut of meat, even if it was a little ragged around the edges.
Hannibal sits back and watches as Will’s gets his breath and bearings back under his own control. No doubt there’ll be hell to pay now for his impulsivity, further confirmed by a furious blue gaze rimmed red meeting his.
How many times did he do this to Will, that we didn't see, when triggering seizures in his office? I suspect he grew quite fond of touching Will's face.
People are horrified when they see it and constantly ask if Will's okay, worried that he's being abused but he literally couldn't be happier.
Just look how in love his Alpha is with him, how feral Will makes him when they mate. 🥰
@devilamb_
Will is like the epitome of that saying 'whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger'. The amount of physical and emotional trauma he went through is mind boggling 🫠
When they have sex, his hands gravitate towards Will’s neck, at first just keeping his hand in position there because of how rigidly tense Will becomes in response.
@abstracteevee
It's 2 weeks until the end of the semester and I haven't received a single graded assignment back yet from Prof. Graham?! And he just ignores me when I try to ask about it after class! 🙄
This acclimatization continues until Will begins to enjoy having his breathing restricted, the lack of oxygen taking his climax to new heights. Hannibal can feel his excitement in the way he clenches around his cock the moment Hannibal brings his hands to his neck now.
Only after he’s become accustomed to it does Hannibal ever so slightly begin to apply tension, slowly increasing the pressure of his fingertips, then fingers, and finally using the span of his whole hand to start restricting Will’s breathing.
@primaverapalace
It's giving "I'm trapped in a relationship with an exhausting man",
it's giving "post-fall ANGST",
it's giving "alcohol isn't the problem, it's the solution",
it's giving "if I have to go to one more fucking farmer's market...."
He’s panting from his own exertions, but sets about reviving Will, unable to ignore the streak of worry slicing through him that he won’t return to him again after this.
He finds himself choking Will harder and for longer periods of time, trying to relive the thrill of controlling his breathing, but he can never quite recapture the feeling of bringing Will back from the brink of death.
After several intoxicating moments of taking on the role of Will’s lungs and heart for him, Will comes to with a stuttering gasp, coughing wildly as his hands unconsciously fly to his bruised neck.
Hannibal: My partner must be top of the line, organised, graceful-
Will: *walks in, trips over a plant and apologizes to it*
Hannibal: ....
Hannibal: I want that one
#Hannigram
Will’s already lax from oxygen deprivation and his release, and Hannibal easily pins his struggling arms to his side while he continues to fuck into him, chasing his own climax and the elevation that came from being the source of Will’s life.
He pulls out the sweater he’d seen Will throw into his laundry basket before leaving. He’s pointedly ignored Will’s half-full basket when washing his own, whether that’s been an unconscious decision made with this moment of weakness in mind, he can’t say.
