Soldier Of Sappho

Hear me out here

It's like? 2009? 2010? Hannibal Lecter gets assigned a patient who has just rolled into town, according to the notes he’s a man with delusions of being a vessel for Micheal the Archangel and his brother the vessel for the fallen angel Lucifer.

Hannibal, honestly, isn’t really interested in this case but takes it on anyway. Maybe a new victim potential? Who knows!

When this man steps into his office, IMMEDIATELY he sees that this man is not at all who he was envisioning. Who is this man you ask?

None other than famed hunter Dean Winchester! (Hannibal doesn’t know that)

The Winchester Duo are called on a job on the Chesapeake Ripper Killings, Bobby suspects these are either intricate vampire killings, werewolves or demon ritual sacrifices. With omens getting worse around the area, they take on the job. Easy pickings right?

Dean and Sam hatch a plan to solve these murderes, the only potential lead they have is an ex surgeon and currently practicing psychiatrist, Hannibal Lecter. They suspect maybe he knew one of the killers and or is potentially a vampire, they try catch Lecter out by getting one of them into his office to learn more about him and one investigates the area.

Dean discovers that Hannibal is just like, a man? He’s just a psychiatrist. Nothing seems out of the ordinary, but he continues the sessions as pseudo interrogations while Sam and Castiel (yes he’s here) try and solve the murders themselves as in how they were even conducted (Castiel doesn’t have all his angel juice because apocalypse shit)

Hannibal is incredibly intrigued by Dean and his very obvious methods of masking his severe depression and daddy issues with humour and alcoholism, Hannibal can tell Dean is just one little blip in his wall from snapping and he sOOOO wants to abuse that! YIPPIE! TIME TO GET SILLY! :D

Dean needs to use the time with Hannibal to figure out crucial information but of course he’s being a smart ass about It and lying to Hannibal about having delusions of grandeur and Hannibal can see RIGHT through him and Dean DOES NOT LIKE IT AT ALLLLLL!

Forcing Dean to address his trauma with his father and his brothers betrayal (I love Sam Winchester tho so all of that ruby shit is forgiven) his time in hell (hannibal doesn’t believe Dean actually went to hell but can see he’s clearly affected by this “extreme delusion” and of course takes heavy advantage of those 10 years of torture experience)

Hannibal is so impressed with this that he forces Dean to go into extreme detail and asks him if he ever wanted to do it to real people and Dean of course denies and denies but hannibal, heheh, Hannibal chips away at him each session and Dean doesn’t even notice.

Sam on the other hand is currently trying to not get his ass beaten by Jack as he decides to impersonation an FBI agent, to another FBI agent. Castiel is slowly noticing deans deteriorating mental state and tries to stop Hannibal and he realises that Hannibal is the Chesapeake ripper but Hannibal manages to get Sam locked up in a mental facility and Castiel “goes missing” Hannibal can keep being evil.

And then something something Dean starts going crazy something something Sam gets manipulated by Hannibal as well something something brotherly angst something something major character death something something lotsadeath

OK BABY I’M GONNA THROW SOME IDEAS YOUR WAY AND YOU TAKE WHAT YOU LIKE

1) So basically Alana and Hannibal are already friends but Hannibal has never met Will and Jack yet. Maybe he has already kidnappedd Miriam Lass though(?). Maybe there could be a Randall Tier cameo, just Hannibal “checking up” on him since their therapy has ended tears prior.

2) But would Dean actually talk about hell knowing that Hannibal is just human AND that those sessions are a cover for working a case?

3) Also, Destiel, baby. Let Cas be the knight in shining armor and save Dean from whatever complex shenaningans Hannibal has planned for him. Let Castiel break into Hannibal’s townhouse and find the fridge cellar. Let him find the meat.

4) Also, Bedelia. Hannibal has knows her for 20 years when season 1 starts, so she (being the only one who, until then, has glimpsed through the stitching of his person suit) could be interrogated by Cas and/or Dean (if they do it together, let Bedelia clock the queerness in the room please). Or Bedelia could, on the other hand, help Hannibal. Or she could play both parts, without Hannibal knowing.

5) Chiyoh. Hannibal must have stayed in contact with her during all those yesrs in Baltimore, right? Otherwise he couldn’t be sure that she stayed in Lecter Castle to be the keeper of past memories and to guard the prisoner. Maybe we even see Hannibal accompanying Alana to Quantico and Alana mentions that she has go see a certain Will for lunch with other collegues (because of course Alana and Will have never been in a room together before Abigail’s coma).

6) BEVERLY, PRIZE AND ZELLER!!!! PLEASEE

7) Also how much time would Cas, Dean and Sam be in Baltimore? Would Hannibal, Dean and Cas see each pther outside of therapy? Would Hannibal at a certain point give up with Dean and try to pet-project Cas, who seems to have way less problems with murder?

8) Does Hannibal follow one of them into the woods and see them burning corpses? Would he ask them something like what he asks Abigail in season 1, “I’ll keep your secret”, “and I’ll keep yours”.

I love that people are actually liking this idea and I may have to cook

For 3 months I’ve been working on this 6 minute animatic. And now the time is near!

It will be premiered on my YouTube (@/azaleos_p) at UTC (12pm noon) / EST (8am) on 6th of June!
