Like this fandom appreciates unhinged Will and soft Hannibal plenty but this is an unhinged Hannibal appreciation post.

Like look at this man:

Also the little “In the pantry”? I can’t, I just can’t. he’s so silly

Would Will top Hannibal ?

Hannibal has always had this deep, growing fascination with Will. This admiration, this obsession, with the way Will can see through him. Will pushes and challenges him, creeping closer and closer to the point of nearly surpassing him, not just in their conversations, their mind games but in control itself.

And despite what some people might think, Will does have control. Maybe not a lot, but what he does have, he knows how to use. And he does use it. Shamelessly, strategically, especially when it comes to Hannibal. And Hannibal loves that. He feeds off of it. The way Will meets him at his level, matches his freak, even occasionally outmaneuvers him. Hannibal craves that feeling of being understood, of being truly seen by someone who isn’t afraid to push him back. He outplays him at his own game, makes him feel something so rare, so exquisite, that he cannot help but hunger for it.

And if that carried over into the bedroom? I think it would start with Hannibal assuming his usual role, carrying himself as if he naturally holds the upper hand. But Will would push back, and Hannibal wouldn’t just let it happen.. he would love it! He would give in to it, not in defeat, but because it excites him. He’d enjoy watching Will take control, seeing just how far Will is willing to go, feeling the power shift between them. Hannibal loves when Will surprises him, when Will elevates himself above him even for a moment. He wouldn’t fight it. He’d lean into it completely because that’s just what he loves!!

god. I love them.
