hey I loved that AU you thought of! it's so great, would you mind if someone commissions it as a fic? and if so (or not, it's cool!), could you say a bit more about it? I find it fascinating :)
Gosh thank you! If someone was to commission it as a fic I would squeal from joy, honestly. <3 I have many thoughts floating around in my head, but here’s a few things I could add to it:
Will doesn’t know if Hannibal has a familiar of his own, he’s never seen one around him
Will’s ravens never leave his side. He doesn’t summon them, they just manifest themselves and follow him wherever he goes. (They sit in a tree outside the window if needed, keeping careful watch)
Hannibal keeps testing Will’s limits in what he can do with his powers and most times he is pleasantly surprised
One of the uses Hannibal has for his powers is influencing people (and of course he is smug when Will starts using what he’s learned on other people)
The one time Will allowed Hannibal to merge their powers together, their magic formed a huge dark beast known as the Ravenstag
Also, two words: BLOOD MAGIC
