I am so intrigued!!!!! Please write the story. Why is Will Jealous of Sophie (his own baby mama)? Why is Hannibal choking Sophie? Is Hannibal going to cheat on Will with Sophie? Is the story going to angst with Happy Ending? Something like Herringbone???
Hello anonny!!!
I’m guessing you’re talking about the excerpts about Soph that I posted somewhere in reference to the Ask I sent to @suchawrathfullamb about a Hannigram Baby Trapping Soap Opera.
Those are basically just the Hannigram coded traits that I couldn’t yank out of her character in the fic she originated in (it was for House of the Dragon, a modern AU, I think many people loathed it and it was also written within two months after my life fell apart).
I’m still thinking about how I’d write the story, mainly because I’m not a very happy endings type of writer, and also I tend to lean into the darker side of things. Soph’s background and story actually was quite dark and that was after I toned down a lot of things. She has her own traumas and her own outlook on the world and where she was at when I wrote her, she does NOT want babies because she doesn’t really know what parenting is even like.
Theoretically, if I wrote it, there would probably an attraction between Will and Soph that leans more into his narcissistic tendencies and his growing need and ability to manipulate and control people around him. Soph is quite used to giving people what they want, not because she’s a people pleaser but because it gets them to let their guards down and she in return gets a better sense of a person, to slowly nudge them in the direction she wants. It’s a different game to the one Will and Hannibal play.
The resentment and jealousy would be there as well, probably because Will has always been so discomforted around trying to fit in or at least DEALING with others that he doesn’t find engaging, and he’s terrible at faking it. Hannibal and Soph as individuals possess an effortlessness that he doesn’t have—it’s both attractive and irritating for him. Will also likes to be the smartest person in the room, but again, it’s a different type of mental game he’s up against this time.
This is all in consideration of the dynamic PRIOR to Will’s attempt to fix his shitty marriage with a baby plan. That part is just a whole other thing I’d have to consider and also, just. ITS A LOT.
I mean the likelihood of me writing this is just getting higher and higher. Send help plz. Dont let me write this. I will never escape it. Also you can blame Lambie if it happens.
