Summary

Summary
Will pulls away from Hannibal’s lips and lowers himself to rest his head on his chest, listening to the tender lullaby of his heartbeat, just as he had done on the edge of the cliff. As long as this heart keeps beating, he thinks, he has a reason to fight, a reason to live. He will be whatever Hannibal needs him to be. A guiding light in the darkness, a blazing fire to keep him warm.
or,
Will helps Hannibal brave the winter, because he's a good husband.

Summary
Will Graham is not like either of them. Will Graham is an anomaly to the trend. The psychiatrist in her demands to know why, wants to find out where this came from, how it started, why Will of all people was the one to turn Hannibal’s head. Will’s relationship with empathy makes him special, and Hannibal has always had a penchant for society’s more specialised individuals, but besides that she cannot understand what the catalyst is; how Will has managed to so acutely snare Hannibal’s affections so powerfully that she can see it written all over his face as she looks at him.
She understands well enough what Will’s interest in Hannibal might look like. Hannibal is unique, too. Ostentatious yet often inconspicuous. Warm yet terribly, achingly cold. Alluring yet terrifying, this one she knows particularly well because she has always been drawn to Hannibal, despite a lingering sickness in her stomach that reminds her that she’s in danger; balanced on a knife edge at all times. It’s understandable that Will would want to delve into this world, as she has, but she can’t understand what makes Hannibal want to delve into Will’s.

OR: Bedelia becomes obsessed with Hannibal’s obsession with Will Graham.

Summary
Will and Hannibal met each other one fateful night in New Orleans. They get violently married, consummated in the river of blood and bone, in the flesh of the monsters of men. They are faithfully married, but not many know they are married to one another.
Or
I need more married, established Will/Hannibal that features oblivious everyone. With a lot of murder fluff because they are so gosh darn cute.

Summary
'It is frankly a miracle that they wash up on the rocky Atlantic shore to find themselves very much alive. Lecter, having endured a bullet wound and then some, should not have then survived a plunge one hundred feet—give or take—into the tumult of the stinging ocean below.
Will Graham, on the other hand, thinks he should have perished for entirely different reasons.'
Or,
They are inevitable, and Will thinks he might finally be done fighting it.

Summary
There’s a corpse in Pensacola with molten silver for eyes, another in Ocala dressed in a tattered flannel, a third in Jupiter with clumps of sodden bucktail occluding a deep wound across its abdomen.
Retiring in Sugarloaf Key should be sweet and easy, but when the Florida Man headlines hit a little too close to home, Will gets the feeling his blissful solitude will be less than long lasting.

Summary
Jack moves his gaze over Will's face. As he considers what he sees there his good humour drops away, and he becomes pensive. When he speaks his voice is low: a hard murmur.
“I think I see you now, Will. I was too turned around in what I wanted to see, before, but now I’m through to the other side. And it’s much clearer here.”
"And what is it that you think you see?"
"A liar,” Jack says, “of the finest calibre.”

Summary
Will lowers the letter, stares at it in his lap. The fire has left his skin hot, his chest hollowed out. He feels as though the words themselves have burned into him, left him see-through, paper-thin, light bleeding through. Dear Will, I think of you often.
- or -
Will is living through the motions of his polite life, until he reads a letter from Hannibal, and sends one back.

Summary
“I think I wasn’t aware we needed a break,” Joe protests. The word feels dirty and contemptuous in his mouth. Like fast food and diet water, it was yet another ridiculous modern custom that need not apply to them. “Wait, have you been reading those trashy airport magazines with Nile again?”

Summary
The man was looking at him from across the bar.
His brown eyes and penetrating gaze made Nicky feel exposed. Bare. Like this stranger knew things about him that Nicky himself wasn’t aware of. It made him feel anxious. Scared. Hungry.
Nicky was looking at him as well.
Or, Nicky meets a stranger at a bar and doesn't proceed with caution.
