    Summary

    When Hannibal tells Will he's sick, Will is skeptical. Before he knows it, he's laying in a hospital bed and being told he's going nowhere for two weeks. Will is distraught until Hannibal swoops in and offers to take over Will's courses at the FBI Academy.

    Will doesn't mind Hannibal showing up every night with a home-cooked meal, but he might just resent Hannibal becoming the most popular teacher at the Academy in just two weeks...

    Season 1 AU - if Hannibal wasn't such a MASSIVE dick.

    Summary

    The image that barges its way through Hannibal’s mind is not one of the present, but rather a reflection behind a long bolted shut door. Will, pale, mute, and wounded, looks an awful lot like Hannibal did at age thirteen. 

    Or: Post-fall, the severity of Will’s injuries renders him temporarily mute. Hannibal is forced to confront his past.

    (Based heavily on Hannibal Rising, but no pre-context is required for this fic!)

    Summary

    Christmas meant lights turned on early. Christmas meant warmth was still possible somewhere, even if it didn’t belong to you. Snow drifted down, quiet and thorough. Will’s leg burned. His ribs felt wrong. His hands were slick and numb at the same time. He tasted copper when he swallowed. Still, he moved. He took Hannibal with him.
    - or -
    Will and Hannibal spend Christmas in the woods, as best as they can. <3
