How I like to imagine Clarice was acting if the BSU kept coming to her about Hannibal Lecter and the tips/sightings that have been reported after repeatedly rejecting her transfer to the unit...

I don't know how I didn't come across this sooner, because I've always wanted to be able to watch the deleted scenes from The Silence of the Lambs edited into the film.

Since your latest chapter of 'The Fever of the Bone' has posted, and you have gone a completely different direction, I can tell you the one moment I've mentally explored if Hannibal hadn't been incarcerated and they worked the case together.

It's when Clarice is at Buffalo Bill's house, but I had Hannibal with Crawford. I like the thought of him having his fun with Crawford and going with him to Chicago. Hannibal is at Quanitco for whatever reason and Crawford invites him along for his expertise and familiarity with the case due to the likelihood of a hostage situation. I like putting him in the moment of Crawford's horrifying realization that Clarice is probably in danger, and Hannibal being like WTF because he thinks she's safely sitting in class.

Now he's stuck with stupid Jack trying to figure out where she is and if she's alive. He's dealing with the panic, fear, uncertainty, and some guilt that maybe he put her in that situation with his breadcrumbs instead of just helping her properly etc. I go different directions from there depending on mood. What if things go as normal? What if she dies? What if she's shot and uh oh! she stays at Hannibal's house during her convalescence because he's a doctor and wants to help her....? ~userlecter

Ohhhh, I love this!! I'm so glad you told me what you'd been thinking. That creates a different, wonderful kind of tension for Hannibal, and I love the idea of him and Crawford facing that moment together.

I love the idea that she gets hurt, and his guilt compels him to take care of her instead of letting her go from the hospital to the dorm.

When I was writing the scene with her showing up at his home after the storage unit, I wanted to write something where he had to take care of her over something more serious than a cut. I might have to do a one-shot for that.

Yes! I always love when Hannibal has the opportunity to take care of her. Even if she's just sick.

Another moment I hadn't considered from the book until after I read your chapter with the storage unit is how funny it would be if Hannibal learned Clarice went to the storage unit because he saw it on the nightly local news. He has it on in the background until he hears...

"Stay tuned for WPIK news where our very own Jonetta Johnson has the scoop on a severed head found at a local storage unit."

Thankful for the commercial break, he pops in a VHS tape to record the moment, and watches a ragged Clarice yell at the reporters, pin a guy with the door, and use the jack to make her point. He falls just a little bit more for her after that.

*Even if he's still incarcerated and Barney lets him watch the news when he's certain Chilton won't hear about it. I think Hannibal would get a real kick out of it and it'd go a ways to endearing her to him.

[ilcantodellastarling]

I love this too. Both scenarios!

It amazes me that despite the movie being 35 years old and the book even older, there are still 'what if' scenarios to consider.

I might still do something with the book version of the scene in 'Fever,' where she yells at reporters, etc. with cameras around.

If you can get your hands on Mussolini and I, I highly recommend taking the time to watch the miniseries. I found Bob Hoskins miscast as Mussolini, but if you're anything like me, you'll shamelessly enjoy everything about Hopkins in this.

yeah sex is cool I guess

but have you ever had someone leave a comment with a paragraph-long review of your fanfic containing genuine praise, thorough criticism, and an in-depth analysis of all the lore hints you dropped that you spent ages intricately crafting
