Summary
Will knew what had happened. He knew exactly how Abigail's ear had gotten into him, who had shoved it down his throat. He also knew that trying to indicate Hannibal as a killer again was futile. Jack seemed to want to believe him, going by the conversation in the BSHCI's visitor hall, but Jack needed something concrete, evidence. Hannibal had eluded capture for so long, he wasn't going to start leaving fingerprints or hairs at his crime scenes now.
No, Will was going to deal with Hannibal Lecter on his own terms. The man deserved to reap what he'd so carefully sowed, didn't he? He deserved to experience what he'd coaxed forth from the bottom of Will's soul, to see the result of his machinations.

Summary
“If it was just Abigail,” he says, “I would’ve believed. I would’ve believed that I got so far up Hobbs’ head I couldn’t get out.” Because that is a kind of madness he understands, a kind of crossing-over that fits with everything he knows about himself, about the way he works, the way he slips into other people and carries pieces of them back out with him whether he wants to or not. A rotting corpse in his head. Not something antlered.
“But it wasn’t just Abigail.” Hannibal says it plainly.

Summary
Will is falling in love with his not-psychiatrist, but boy, does he have issues. Little does he know, his not-psychiatrist has more skeletons in his closet than the grave. Secrets, drama, and smut. A romance.
This is pretty self indulgent. I love season 1 AU's where Will Finds Out.

Summary
He needs to know if Hannibal has ever spoken to another person the way he speaks to him, if Hannibal has ever looked at another person the way he looks at him. For all Hannibal talks about not having secrets between them anymore, no boundaries, the dam finally breaks and all the questions he has ever had spring forth and demand release. The words blurt out of his mouth before he can think them through.
“Were you in love with Alana?”
Or: it's about time these boys have an honest conversation.

Summary
After Will's return to the FBI, Jack proposes a new, and very unorthodox method to put Hannibal Lecter behind bars. He wants to read his thoughts, to get him to "admit" to being the Ripper that way. The operation takes a weird turn however, when instead of murder and cannibalism, Hannibal seems preoccupied with something else.
