    Summary

    "Do you have anything left to escape to?" Will smiles wide, and cold fury flashes through Hannibal's bones. Clearly not anymore.

    "Certainly less loose threads to catch up to me. More security." He takes one step closer. "Impulsivity indeed leads to an unstable future." Will's left eye twitches. Hannibal lowers his voice to a menacing whisper. "Do tell me, Will. Is it not beautiful anymore?"

    - or -

    During their recovery from the fall, they have to deal with each other's pettiest sides, enduring and waiting quietly to see who will snap first.

    Summary

    “That’s a pretty good bedside manner, Dr. Lecter,” Will murmured.

     

    “I’ve never received a complaint,” Hannibal replied without flinching as he smoothed the sheets over Will’s stomach. “Though I am a bit out of practice.”

     

    “It’s like riding a bike.”

     

    Hannibal smiled mildly. “And being my patient? Is that like riding a bike, Will?”

     

    Their eyes finally met again, and Will felt the tickle of danger on his flesh once more that made his breath quicken. He should have been ashamed of himself, but shame — that burden that he had carried for so long — felt far away, a rotting carcass at the bottom of an ocean.

     

    “Something like that,” he said.

     

    [When Will catches a tropical virus, it's an opportunity for Hannibal to play doctor again - only this time Will isn't content to let him hide behind the guise of medicine.]

    Summary

    Florence, 1996. 21-year-old Will Graham is part of a police academy exchange program, studying with Inspector Rinaldo Pazzi and rooming with a young Jack Crawford in a cramped studio apartment. Jack is courting Phyllis, trying to make her "his Bella," and would like the apartment empty once in awhile for them to get down to "business." This leaves Will with no place to go but wander the city. He finds himself thinking about the Il Mostro case and visits the Uffizi gallery, where he meets a handsome stranger drawing La Primavera.
