Fresh Meat Friday ROUND UP
Hello dear Fannibals, and welcome to Fresh Meat Friday’s Roundup post for the end of March 2018! This post gathers all the recs posted on Tumblr this month under the #Fresh Meat Friday tag so they’re in one easy-to-find place. Many thanks to all who took part and congratulations to our rec’d creators! Until next time, stay hungry!
Just a quick reminder: Tumblr is often rude and doesn’t show us every rec, no matter how hard we try to find them! If we missed yours, just send us an ask with the information and/or a link to the post, and we’ll get it on next month’s round up. :)
Giveaway Update: winners of our 1K Giveaway will be announced tomorrow!
@beatricenius rec’d by @copperore for Home “If, like myself, you live for the post S3 emotional push and pull, this fic is for you! The dialogue is moving and cutting, the smut heartfelt and a little bit vicious. Just perfect!
Zigzagwanderer rec’d by @fhimechan for Tomorrow Was Our Golden Age “After the fall, Hannibal and Will live in a remote Baltic island while they navigate their relationship. Each story is a short lyrical piece of their life together, sometimes with a promise of violence, sometimes fluffy, always beautifully written.”
Zigzagwanderer was also rec’d by @fragile-teacup for Love is a Journey, not a Destination and Tomorrow Was Our Golden Age “If you love beautiful, sensual Hannigram fic with a healthy dollop of angst and a huge amount of heart, then please, PLEASE give this writer a look.”
@andiemerizein rec’d by @diea-kierlyn for All for the Best “Tech problems! Mutual pining! Soccer! Ice cream! Mads’ legs! Hugh’s butt in tight bike shorts! Adorably awkward nerds! All in the California sun! Give this rare pair a chance and encourage a brand new writer who is full of great ideas!”
@strangestorys rec’d by @niakantorka for Landscape Change “Don’t we all need more Digestivo fix-its? This one is really lovely and was written for the Hannigram Holiday Exchange 2016.”
@helly-watermelonsmellinfellon rec’d by @hannibalsimago for L'amour vainqueur et la vie opportune “ The emotions and characterization is spot on. I read it three times in a row because I couldn’t get the music out of my head. It weaves throughout the story.”
@thecountessolivia rec’d by @thenecronon for Funeral of Flowers “It’s a daring AU set in 1800s Venice, and is exactly as lush and vivid as you’d expect it to be. @thecountessolivia takes us into an sensuous, mysterious world while maintaining all the integrity of the characters we love.”
@genufa rec’d by @pka42 for Black Swan “I mean, guys, Hannibal is a majestic af black swan. What more do you want?”
@aametis rec’d by @shukky for Scars “It’s an emotionally driven Post Fall fic with lots of great porn where Will deals with the fact that he is in love with Hannibal and eventually finds a way to connect to him again...the atmosphere in this fic is absolutely breathtaking and sucks you right into their quiet little cabin.”
@thecountessolivia rec’d by @crystalusagi for The Boy from the Market “This is so good and manages to be sexy despite not (yet) having any actual sex. It’s also slightly angsty and tense and psychologically thrilling, and just. Go read this now, because jealous!Will is just lovely in this.”
@diea-kierlyn rec’d by @crystalusagi for A Preference for Blood “The author manages to infuse so much characterization and so much story into what is (as of now) only 3,000 words, and it’s amazing.”
@crystalusagi rec’d by @tiggymalvern for Whatever Happens “Less then two thousand works, and she packs in so much pathos, deviousness and eroticism as Hannibal takes advantage of Will’s desperation. It’s brutal and perfect.”
@virdant rec’d by @kinkodon for As the Plant Never Blooms “I highly recommend @virdant ’s hanahaki AU Hannibal fic which I find fantastic because hanahaki is humorous to me, floral based dishes are ranked highly to me, and also because the scene of Hannibal daintily making candied violets and roses is super cute.”
boycoffin by @victorineb for If I Tell You I Love You “Some fics create a world that you never want to leave, and this is very much one of them. The Beau Morgue is a gorgeously-rendered setting, glamorous and sinister, but with a family of warm, funny, hugely engaging characters at its core.”
@mooseydoodles rec’d by @redfivewritingby “Let me tell you about how much I love @mooseydoodles Galen/Krennic art for @freshmeatfriday! Mad’s cheeks look sharp enough to cut through a planet. I love the detailing of the hair too.”
