Hannigram/Murder Husbands AU:
The Priest and The Fallen Angel ~
Hannibal is a dedicated and caring Priest, well-liked by the community and seen as a man worthy of sainthood. The truth, however, is a touch darker - Father Lecter takes full advantage of the confessional, weeding out the wayward members of his congregation, considering it the work of God.
One evening, as Father Lecter is on his way to the home of one such lamb, he notices a spot of blood and feathers near the edge of the highway. Pulling onto the shoulder, he exits his vehicle, treading cautiously into the deep ditch, completely shocked by what he finds beneath the brush at the forest’s edge.
A man - with massive wings folded over his body - bloodied and broken, his bare body shaking from the cold. Hannibal moves cautiously, carefully hauling the angel into his vehicle with some effort, the wings proving to be slightly troublesome.
The creature says nothing for days, merely remaining in a balled up position, his knees pulled into his chest, bright blue eyes peering out through hair that extends down too low over his face. After nearly a week of steadfast determination and unending patience, while Hannibal is, once more, attempting to coax the angel into drinking some water, a loud bang in the chapel alerts him. He tells the creature to stay still, and rushes in to find a small band of thugs attempting to vandalize the altar. They advance upon him, and he manages to overcome two of them, before the third lands a blow to his head and sends him falling to the ground.
Just as he looks up to see the man preparing another hit, a blinding flash of light fills the room, and, when he opens his eyes, the men are all gone, the once meek angel now standing tall and strong, the bright ethereal glow fading from his eyes as he looks back down to the injured Priest. After a moment of silence, the angel moves to kneel beside him, and, with the sweetest and most melodic voice Hannibal has ever heard, says matter-of-factly: “I am sent to save you.”
