It was as if the two of them were suspended in a space void of time, as if they had never stopped floating in the cold ocean tide. They were bleeding out and they couldn’t breathe but it didn’t matter. They would keep floating until Will decided to either drown them or bring them up for air. There were promises Hannibal had made back in the real world, feasts to finish and reckonings to be had but they could wait. For now he was happy letting himself drift in the current of Will Graham’s mind.
Will drags Hannibal out of the Atlantic and has to deal with the consequences of his becoming. They embark on a roadtrip of murder and introspection and Hannibal sits back patiently while he waits for Will to make the decision that will seal their fate. A story about blood and the ocean, and loving something that may ultimately destroy you.
