imagine an AU where Will was already fully dark before meeting Hannibal,completely faking the unstable profiler act.he masterfully gaslit Hannibal into believing he was the one pulling the strings and "making" a killer... only for Will to finally show who was actually in control.
Will cooks something that is terrible. But Hannibal, somehow finds the most poetic way possible to call it at least interesting.
Hannibal goes fishing with Will and proudly catches the tiniest fish imaginable.
Will: “Pathetic.”
finished Hannibal. why did no one tell me they were explicitly in love with each other and it wasn’t the imagined mass psychosis of fans from the 2010s who were victims of queerbaiting
