Literally same we should just shit talk tf out of d*chovny and leave it at that
@awayfromsight honestly that’s what we’re best at anyways
⭐ whoooooops forgot to do this "Sartoria" please, as it's one of my faves xx ilysm
Thank you so much! I love you too ♥♥♥
This is one of my favourites as well. “Sartoria” was written for your prompt “Bedelia wears Hannibal’s clothes”, which took me a long time to write (but not as long as the Argentina dancing fic oops :3). As much as I loved the idea, I had a hard time coming up with something that could be turned into a decent fic. All I had was an image of Bedelia in Hannibal’s shirt which, as perfect as it was, felt unsubstantial plot-wise.
Everything turned around once the thought of 5 things fic appeared in my mind. I’ve always loved this concept, gives so much to play with, but was yet to write one and suddenly your prompt was ideal for that. And ironically, it wasn’t the shirt notion that started the fic; my first idea was the party where Hannibal’s offers her his jacket which became the first story. My second idea was the last story; Bedelia painting in his shirt. She had to wear his shirt at some point, duh, but it was different than just having her wear it out of bed. And that’s how I got to the idea of turning this into history of their relationship, with clothes.
I hardly ever write my stories in order and tend to jump between parts and this was no exception. The order I wrote this in was : 1, 2, 5, 3 and 4. The forth part (reunion) I struggled the most with because I didn’t want it to resemble my other post fall fics too much. Since I loved the idea of alternating POV (one of my favourite things about this fic), I had to make sure that each story can be told from that perspective. I knew I was starting with Hannibal’s POV and had to plan accordingly. I have also worried about the parts being different lengths; I didn’t want it to reflect on the quality of the sections (or that perhaps I had more ideas for some than others lol). But it in the end, I was really happy with how it turned out. They are all different and, hopefully, reflect that particular stage of their relationship. I cannot pin point my favourite part, obviously Count and Countess are my precious (happy married couple is the only acceptable ending), but I genuinely love all the stories.
On a side note of a title: ugh I hate titles! I can’t never think of a good one and this was extra hard, since it had to be something that I can name 5 parts after. The struggle was real, to the point of my googling “things with 5 parts”… I considered parts of musical composition, but it did not fit at all. Finally, since the story was about clothes and Italian have this beautiful word for it, I decided to go with that. I’m very proud of this concept of 5 titles tbh, one of my few moments of brilliance.:D
(This got long, sorry, I guess I really love that fic. :))
60 and 55, and 36 and 29. xxx
These were hard, I hope they are okay ♥
Established Relationship/Poorly Timed Confession: On the tip of his tongue
Hannibal could not be more thrilled when Bedelia had accompanied him to Europe. Finally, after all these years of therapy, when he kept his true intentions hidden, he would be able to open up about how he felt about her. In theory, anyway. As much as a perfectionist Hannibal was in every other aspect of his life, when it came to expressing his feelings, he was…well, less than adequate. In his defence, he had never felt that way about anyone before and the word love did not seem sufficient to him. Everything had to be perfect, the place, the moment, yet none of them were. But the words were brewing for so long, they finally came pouring out at the least appropriate time: during a particularly intense moment in the bedroom. Hannibal was utterly embarrassed, this was not how he imagined confessing his feeling. Now, he needed to find a way to convince Bedelia this was more than a heat of a moment.
Text/Letter Fic/Wedding Fic: Uncovered Vows
After they had renewed their vows in Argentina, Hannibal confessed that he had spent a lot of time thinking about this moment while he was in locked away. He imagined it in painstaking details, down to the words he wanted to say to her, afraid he would never get a chance to say it in person. He composed whole letters in his mind, but was never able to send them (her cover story only allowed him to send generic cards). Bedelia asked him to share it with her now, knowing perfectly well he stored it all in his memory palace. Hannibal was reluctant at first, he did not want to dwell on a painful past, especially now. when the reality was better than his dreams, but two days later Bedelia found an envelope addressed to her, placed on her vanity.
☆ ♦ ∇ - You know who, duh
Thank you so much! ♥ This made my day.
☆ - happy headcanon (my favourites!)
Bedelia and Hannibal really love passing touches. It is notjust for when they are in public (obviously Bedelia is not very fond of ostentatiousdisplays of affection), but mostly when they are alone. His fingersbrushing over hers when he hands a cup. Hers gently stroking his shoulder whenshe walks by him. It is always a brief touch, but also a gentle caressthey both adore. It is partially reminiscent of their therapy years, when everyaccidental and not-so-accidental touch carried an overload of electricity and desire.But the thrill is still there, sparks flying every time they touch, no matterhow fleeting. And they relish that connection between them. They do not need touse words to express their emotions and each of their touches carries affirmationof their love, no noticed by others and meant for them alone.
♦ - quirks/hobbies headcanon
Quirks- well, there is that murder thing… Apart from that, Hannibal is a slight neat freak. This can be considered a part of his person suit development, every part of his life and him organised perfectly, nothing left to chance. But it definitely carried beyond that and became a part of his nature. You know he has a special way of folding his socks and no one else could do it right. Bedelia appreciates his neatness; she likes order as well, not being fond of any form of chaos. Back in Baltimore, Hannibal would be a guy who would attempt to make a bed while you were still in it and probably succeed. But not with Bedelia. :) They really enjoy making that kind of a mess together.
Hobbies- there are the obvious ones: Bedelia likes painting and horse riding (and hunting), Hannibal likes to draw her naked and play/ compose on the piano. They also enjoy just being together in comfortable silence, like reading. Sometimes they read out loud for each other, usually in bed; Bedelia splayed on his tummy, using him as table of sorts, her fingers brushing over taut muscles while Hannibal strokes her hair.
∇ -. old age/aging headcanon
They both aren’t fond of the signs of ageing on themselves, but the other person loves it to bits!
Bedelia might have never relied on her beauty, but she does not enjoy seeing the progress of time on her skin, seeing it as a form of weakness. She uses the best cosmetics, ensuring her good looks last. Obviously, she always took good care of her body and does not look her age. She does not like the bits of grey hair appearing on her temples, she watches its progress with annoyance. Hannibal loves the grey hair and the wrinkles around her eyes. You can tell by the fact that he kisses these spots a lot. He loves the fact that she is a mature woman and everything about her (and I love that so much!).
Hannibal is a vain person and also carefully observes the passing of time. He would not want to appear as every normal person (because he is above them): old. I am not saying he considered dying his hair while in Baltimore, but he totally did. In the end he decided it would look silly and unnatural, and he did not want that. Now his hair is slowly turning white and he looks somehow unpolished and very masculine. Bedelia loves that so much. (there’s a ficlet coming here).
They both look kind of timeless and otherwordly now, in Lecter Castle, striped off their pretences, veils and armours, being themselves and glowing, because they are happy.
23, 32 & 34
Thank you Lena! ♥♥ Love you!
23. What’s the nicest review you’ve ever gotten?
Every time someone says the story feels canonical and that’s in character. That’s my main goal. Every time someone says I made them love bedannibal more. Or just that the story made them happy. Every comment makes my day. And you saying you’re melting into a pillow and wanting a five season Count and Countess Lecter show (I do too!). ♥
32. Who’s the one character who shines without you even trying?
I got an amazing comment on my last fic saying that Bedelia and Hannibal are always so effortless in my stories (this counts as the nicest review as well, thanks Laura ♥) and I hope that’s true. I am not sure if she shines, but I love writing Bedelia. Some people say she’s hard to write, but I always find it easy.
34. Was there any fic that you wrote that really surprised you in the fandom reaction? Was it just by the numbers or did they take it an entirely different way?
I was surprised how enthusiastic people were about “Beatrice” (bedannibal leaving together after “Dolce”), I’m happy that people want to see them together in the end. The same goes to “Count and Countess Lecter”, I was worried people wouldn’t like Chiyoh’s POV, but they did. And Bedelia fulling her fantasy in “take off your mask of flesh and bone”, I love that story so much, but I was afraid people wouldn’t get it, thinking she’s submissive (and she isn’t) and I was surprised by the positive response.
First Impression: Who is this goddess of writing Bedannibal, I love her. Now: What a giant fucking nerd who puts up with my shit, I love her.
♥♥♥♥ You know what they say, the first impression is usually the right one! :D I love you too.
First impression vs current impression
