It's weird how many people don't know that Hannigram is literally canon. Like, Hannibal literally looks directly into Will's eyes in Mizumono and says -- out loud, mind you -- "Get butt ass naked right now, fish boy" and then Will drops to his knees and gives Hannibal the CRAZIEST bj and then they run off to italy together and get married and Chilton gets pregnant and Jack's the father and Bella doesn't have cancer anymore and Beverly is alive and Abigail goes to college and

Hannibal Gag Reel [21/?]

A STATEMENT IN RED

hannibal lecter x gender neutral reader

synopsis: After breaking up in Hannibal's kitchen, he's certain you’ll crawl back—no one could match him. Two months later, he discovers you’ve “moved on” and, enraged, kidnaps both you and your new boyfriend to teach you a lesson.

You broke up with Hannibal in his own kitchen. No other room in that townhouse carried as much ritual, as much intimacy, than between copper pots and chef knives. Ending it there was sacrilege, which is exactly why you chose it.

“I’m leaving.”

The lamb reduced to a glaze behind him; he didn’t turn off the burner. Hannibal drew himself taller, the faintest twitch in his left eyelid betraying the ripple underneath the surface. “You are upset. We can discuss it after dinner.”

“We’re done.”

At that, he finally faced you. The look he gave wasn’t disbelief; it was assessment. You could almost hear the doors in his mind palace opening and indexing the pattern, precedent and probability of return.

“Darling,” he sighed condescendingly. “You may wander, but you will not go far. What you and I share is irreplaceable. You’ll try to fill the cavity but you will fail. Not because I demand it, but because there is nowhere else to go that will understand you. All of you.”

TIME SKIP

Two months.

Sixty-two days, if you count the ones where he dressed, ate, worked, and slept with your silhouette occupying all negative space. Hannibal hadn’t expected to feel panic at day three. Annoyance, perhaps. Mild concern at best, but by week five, he adjusted the dosage of his patience with the surgical precision of a chemist. By week eight, he admitted, in a corner of his mind he rarely visited without gloves, that he was irritated.

You did not come back. Instead, you committed a sin more egregious than absence. You replaced him.

A man. Average in every metric Hannibal considered sacred. The haircut of a man who trusted barbershop mirrors. Hands unremarkable. A laugh loud enough to be insecure. He touched your wrist in public. He kissed your cheek outside a café. He made you smile differently.

Softer. Unthreatening.

Hannibal watched from across the street, behind sunglasses he didn’t need. How dare you teach someone else your dialect of darkness? How dare you offer anyone the privilege of discovering your edges and not make them bleed out? This was not heartbreak. This was insult.

Hannibal decided to correct the misapprehension.

You woke in the dark, wrists bound with something that wasn’t rope. It was smoother, stitched. Leather cuffs. “Don’t move too fast,” Hannibal murmured above you. “I’d hate for you to faint through the good parts.”

Beyond him, your boyfriend, Daniel, was upright, gagged and strapped to a chair. You watched as Hannibal dragged an instrument tray closer.

“Let him go,” you said, because it was the expected script and because Daniel’s eyes begged you to say it.

“No," Hannibal leaned close to you, fingers brushing your throat in faux comfort. “I told you before, what you seek elsewhere will be lacking. I feel insulted that you forced me to prove it.”

“You don’t have to—”

“On the contrary. I do nothing I don’t wish to do.” He straightened, addressing your lover now with a detached courtesy. “I apologize for the theatrics. You were a placeholder in a story you did not understand.”

Your lover thrashed. Hannibal sighed at the noise.

You tested the restraints. Strong, but not impossible. However, you weren't looking to run. “Hannibal, please.”

He glanced back at you, and something flared in his eyes. Triumph. Ah, you’re pleading. Returning to the axis. How reassuring.

He chose a boning knife.

The first cut was clean, a red smile under the collarbone. Your lover screamed into the gag. Hannibal barely glanced at the blood beading. He was watching you. Monitoring dilated pupils, tracking the micro-spasms across your mouth.

You didn’t look away.

He carved a second line. No flourish, just function. He was delivering a message written in sinew and breath.

“You can’t keep doing this!” you expelled, voice cracking just enough. “You can’t—”

“Then stop making me,” he snapped, and the sharpened ice under his tone made the air brittle. “Stop testing the perimeter of a cage you built with me. You left. I allowed it. You replaced me. I did not.”

The knife sank again. Blood ran. Your lover’s head lolled, consciousness fraying.

“Hannibal.”

He turned, and you let it happen. The mask was thinning. This wasn’t about murder. Murder was nothing. This was about you. About being seen. About owning the only soul who looked at him and said: I know what you are and I am not repulsed.

“Please,” you breathed, not to stop him, but to tighten the coil.

He obliged.

One decisive thrust. Between ribs. A kiss to the heart.

Your lover convulsed, then slumped. The gag turned from muffler to stopper, holding in a last thread of sound that would never be heard.

Hannibal left the knife buried, head tilting, studying his work like a sommelier savoring a nose. Then he looked at you.

He's expecting it, you thought. Expecting the sob. Expecting the horror in your face. Expecting the collapse, the begging, the promise to come home if only he fixes this.

Instead, you smiled.

“Oh, Hannibal,” you murmured, voice warm from the inside out. “There you are.”

A blink. He recalibrated mid-breath. “What—”

“Did you really think I wouldn’t plan for your inevitability?” You lifted your hands and he allowed you the slack. Not enough to free yourself, but enough to reach his vest lapel.

“Did you think I’d be foolish enough to parade a man in front of you without considering the reaction? You’re not a dog, Hannibal. You’re a dragon. You don’t bark. You burn.”

His pupils blew wide. The knife still in Daniel’s chest was suddenly background noise to the realization blooming across his face. “You wanted this?”

“I needed to see if you would still do it,” you confessed, honest and glowing with it. “For me. Not for the game. Not for your palate. For me.”

You tugged him closer. He let you.

“I picked him because he said yes to everything. He wasn’t in love with me. He liked the adrenaline. It was useful.”

Hannibal’s thumb traced your bottom lip, smearing a fleck of blood you hadn’t realized had landed there. “You used him as bait.”

“We used each other. He got entertainment. I got a reminder.” You leaned in, breath ghosting over his mouth. “You took too long to come for me.”

A laugh shook from Hannibal’s chest. “You are insufferable.”

“You’re delighted.”

He didn’t deny it. Couldn’t. Not with the proof between you. A body cooling, a knife singing in metal silence, and your pulse racing under his fingertips not with fear, but with worship.

Hannibal unlocked your cuffs with a tenderness that nearly hurt. He caught both your hands in his, guiding them up his shirt front, over the steady thrum of his heart.

“I should punish you for manipulating me.”

“You already did.” Your eyes flicked to the chair. “And I adored it.”

The admission snapped something inside him you’d been teasing at since day one. He crushed his mouth to yours. You kissed back just as hard, fingers digging into his shoulders. When he pulled back, breath ragged, his eyes were glassed with something close to wonder.

“You are dangerous.”

“Only because you taught me to be.”

"Hannibal the Cannibal."

The fact that he copyrighted that shit immediately like you cannot tell me he's not the funniest character in the franchise.
