#hannibal loves will
RIP WILL’S HAIR I’M SO SORRY BUT I’M HAVING SUCH A HARD TIME DRAWING CURLS HUHU
But I really miss my murder husbands ;((( I hope s4 gets approved soon hngg
For folks who work alone, its easy to forget about public holidays. Especially with serial killer, there’s no holiday LOL
Is your Labor Day also in May?
I want someone to hold me the way Hannibal holds Will in the season 2 finale.
Hannibal is so physically tender with Will, but so emotionally and mentally brutal.
This is the gayest way to end an episode. How am I not supposed to think that Hannibal is in love with Will? Who caresses someone’s face like that while telling them that they are in awe of who they’re being reborn as???
When unmotivated, Draw a Mads/Hannibal to brighten your day! *at 4am*
He just too cute<3
(Zoom in to see better!)

Hannibal really just said “we are her fathers now.” I just… sir, it is your fault that I now believe you are in love with Will.
Things Hoped For And Things Unseen

Will’s eyes are closed. Beneath, there is movement, flickers and jerks that cause his lashes to flutter, moth-like against his infraorbital margins. Hannibal imagines running his finger along them, imagines their delicate lines folding back like the sensitive leaves of a mimosa pudica as Will opens up to meet his gaze.
Touching, though, is not permitted in this game of theirs.
It would not do to get distracted, in any case. Having swallowed his mouthful, Will’s thoughts must now be carefully directed further along the path Hannibal is so devotedly tending for him. He is so close, now, and yet still he drags his feet, liable at any moment to change direction and snatch himself from Hannibal’s grasp.
Outside, the storm is blowing itself out. Will could leave at any moment, unimpeded by inclemency. Hannibal must hold his attention.
“After my first ortolan, I was euphoric,” he begins, a reminder that Will has no need to fear rejection or failure of understanding, here. “A stimulating reminder of our power over life and death.”
Will’s eyes are downcast, and for a moment Hannibal wonders if he will dissemble, turn the conversation to theory and philosophy, to the distant and impersonal, where he thinks he will be safe.
“I was euphoric when I killed Freddie Lounds.”
But, of course, Will shows his mettle, wielding bluntness like he would a bullet. If he must deal with this, he will cut through Hannibal’s subtleties and lay himself bare between them. Perhaps, even, he is too proud of his first independent kill to speak of it in veiled terms. The thought burns a streak of joy through to Hannibal’s core.
“Tell me,” he says, delight concealed beneath measured interest, “did your heart race when you murdered her?”
Will takes his time to answer, considering before speaking the words in a molasses drawl that slides (flows, oozes) tantalisingly from him. “No, it didn’t.”
Oh, how Hannibal hopes that is true.
