AU in which Will receives a secret admirer with a penchant for writing him poetry and slaughtering the innocent in artistic fashions. No one ever told him that courtship was so bloody or appealing -rather, so bloody appealing? He's a part-time bartender that can't catch a break, but at least he has one loyal customer who doesn't seem to mind bouncing from restaurant to bar to restaurant in order to have his favorite drink made by his favorite person.

There couldn't be a correlation though; Dr. Lecter is an upstanding psychiatrist that just likes his drinks served a certain way, and the Chesapeake Ripper keeps sending love letters in the hopes of one day eating him. One is, quite frankly, flattering, the other...

Will isn't stupid enough to tell anyone that it's also equally flattering, albeit horrifying at the same time. It's up for interpretation.

Right?

Slow(ish) burn, romance, obsession, gaslighting, old(er) Hannibal (10 year difference), university-aged Will

"Do you have a problem?" The chef asked before tacking on a "sir" as an afterthought. How rude. 

"Yes." Hannibal brought forth the plate of grey sludge. "I ordered runny eggs, these look like and are the consistency of wet painted concrete.

"Are the eggs runny?"

"A little," Hannibal admitted. "But it is more like—"

"Then they are runny eggs." The rude man interrupted. "Look, I'm rather busy. Eat the eggs, don't eat the eggs, just get out of my kitchen." And with that, the chef turned back to the stove. 

Hannibal stood there gobsmacked. The nerve of the man! If he didn't look like a Botticelli come to life, he would be on the menu for Hannibal's next dinner party.

Whatever interest Hannibal had in the man didn't extend so far as letting him off the hook completely. 

"I really must insist you remake my dish, the eggs are quite inedible."

"You... insist?" The chef turned around from the stove once more, wielding his metal spatula as menacingly as a spatula could be wielded. 

"I do." ___ Diner AU, featuring Sassy Chef Will Graham and ER Dr. Hannibal Lecter.

Inspired by Reddit post: "My Boyfriend keeps getting into fights with a cook at Waffle House"

"So, a boyfriend?" Beverly wiggled her eyebrows at him. "Tell me more." 

Normally Will would balk at the idea of sharing such personal information with colleagues but if there was one topic that he liked to talk about, it was his boyfriend. 

"He's from Lithuania and is currently studying to be a doctor in Italy." Will smiled softly. "We met online."

"Oh?" Will looked over at her when Beverly's tone changed from playful to worried. "Have you met in person?"

"Not yet." Will frowned. "He's really busy. But we hope to meet once he passes his medical exams." 

"What did you say his name was?"

"I didn't." Will shrugged. "But it's Hannibal." 

"Okay Will." Katz turned to look him in the eye. "I hate to say it but I think you're being catfished."

“You think Uncle Jack set the agent who always gets his man after the man who cannot be caught?” The idea pleases Hannibal to no end.

“Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner?” Will chuckles and looks at Hannibal. The older gentleman is not amused. “I’m sure there’s a much classier version, though, probably, in Roman mythology.”

“Or Greek,” Hannibal offers.

~OR~

Hannibal is the Teumessian Fox, a creature from Ancient Greece who can never be caught. However, he finds himself ensnared by one FBI agent. Sexy times and shape-shifter! Hannibal.

Anybody who knows Hannibal Lecter knows that he is very meticulous about the state of his kitchen. After all, he spends most of his free time experimenting with culinary masterpieces from history or of his own design for both himself and the various dinner guests he has. Everything is always pristine, not a crumb or speck of grease (or blood) to be seen on his countertops. Everything is always kept in running order for convenience and efficiency.

So, when an entire row of lights above his workspace suddenly goes out, the fridge stops humming, and the clock on the oven goes black, for several, very unsettling seconds while his eyes adjust to the abrupt disappearance of light, Hannibal does not know what to do. _________________

When things start breaking in Hannibal's home, Will Graham always comes to his rescue.

Absolutely based on the "I can fix that" scene in Holes.

“You should take a date to your fundraiser." “Yes, perhaps you’re right. It would be improper to invite someone under false pretence, mind, and for my patient to understand, the evidence would need to be… compelling.” “Perhaps an ex-girlfriend,” Will says, unsure why the thought makes him feel flat and remote. “That would be incredibly inappropriate.” “A friend then. Someone you can explain the problem to. You could take-” “You,” Hannibal interjects. The words belly-flop into silence. Will’s mouth opens, and then closes, and then opens again.

When Franklyn's advances of friendship become too much for even Hannibal to politely ignore, he enlists Will's help.

Everyone in Baltimore believes Hannibal Lecter is a grieving widower, a tragic figure hosting lavish dinner parties in quiet devotion to his lost wife.

In reality, Hannibal is far too consumed by his own theatrics to correct them—too busy pining over his estranged husband, Will Graham, who is very much alive and deeply annoyed. Will, for his part, just wants Hannibal to sign the damn divorce papers… or so he keeps telling himself.

As misunderstandings spiral and unspoken feelings fester, Alana and the others remain oblivious to the truth: the greatest love story in Hannibal’s life isn’t one of death and longing, but of stubborn exes locked in a battle of wills neither truly wants to win.

Hannibal planned to keep Will in the dark about his encephalitis so he could watch that brilliant mind burn itself up and become something new. In a world without daemons, he might have got away with it.

An AU incorporating elements of Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials series, beginning partway through the first season of Hannibal. Due to the existence of daemons, the course of the Chesapeake Ripper case is drastically altered — and so too is the relationship between Hannibal and Will.
