I mentioned this before but I'll just say it again: the classic Mads-as-Will and Hugh-as-Hannibal was one of the first tropes I found and loved in this community, but all the art I saw of it focused mainly on Season 1, so I thought hey, why not just do it myself?
This was going to be just a simple set (kinda like my old MerWill Sketchdump), but memories of the show came rushing back and 3 ideas quickly became 10 and because I had too much fun drawing this new dynamic, here's the end result. Sorry for the long post OTL
Thank you so much for the prompt, @hannibalcreative <3

My contribution for hannibalcreative’s #InYourSkin
A Mason/Margot switch! Margot is the pig carrying, chair stabbing evil older sister and Mason is the long-suffering brother. I had plans to do post-face-eating Margot but the idea of defacing Katharine Isabelle daunted me. I might do it at a later date along with Not Evil Mason getting his happy ending with his own psychiatrist (It’s Chilton)
“There’s something wrong with me,” Margot confides in her. “I’m losing time; I wake up wandering around outside in the middle of the night; sometimes I see him—Hobbs, I mean, like a shadow I can’t shake.”
“Stress can have strange effects on the body, both physical and mental.”
“I’m afraid, Dr. Bloom.” She stares down into her glass of wine and asks, “What if I like killing someone in my sleep as much as I did when I was awake in that goddamn kitchen?”
“We are her mothers now,” Alana tells Margot outside of Abigail’s room, leaving after a mostly pleasant visit. Margot had lied to their almost-legal daughter, telling her killing was ugly, Alana knowing her potential protégé better. She hasn’t told Margot about her own extracurricular activities, however; Alana’s uncertain of Margot’s reaction to discovering her lover is both the Chesapeake Ripper and the Copycat Killer.
“How do you feel about adopting a killer and a cannibal?” Freddie Lounds asks, ambushing them on the way to Alana’s car.
Margot scowls as she says, “I wouldn’t anger someone who thinks about death every day and has the money to get away with whatever she wants.”

The phone wasn’t working again. Will knew that he was in a valley and that the signal wasn’t always reliable, but now it just seemed like one more thing that had gone wrong. He noticed he had very little tolerance for these sorts of things anymore, and hearing the dial tone when he wanted to return his boss’ phone call that evening was enough to make him want to turn in early. It’s not like the phone problem was anything new, but ever since Molly had disappeared it just made it all the more apparent. And Jack Crawford had told him to keep the lines open in case there was any news about her whereabouts.
