England, 1811. Social status is everything, and the obsession of every parent is to see their children married well. For twenty-year-old Omega Will Graham, life in a small Hertfordshire market town with his father, adopted mother and four half-sisters is tranquil, if a little dull. Until, that is, a party of strangers arrives in the neighbourhood, sending every mother within five miles into a frenzy of anticipation. For not only are the newcomers Alpha aristocracy, but one among them - Mr Hannibal Lecter - is the owner of the largest estate in Derbyshire... and single. A pity, then, that Will and Hannibal's first meeting is less than auspicious. But sometimes, fate and circumstance have a way of conspiring to bring together even the most stubborn of individuals...

The theme for Day 22 of Inktober from @senshistock​ is Round! Of course I couldn't go an entire month without drawing any A/B/O, so here is some very pregnant omega Will for your viewing pleasure! 

about that old Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell Regency Hannigram A/B/O AU I still occasionally daydream about: 

the No.1 cause of Hannibal killing people is them telling him that he looks just like Napoleon Bonaparte and thinking his name is hilarious because Napoleon, like the OG Hannibal, famously crossed the Alps. 

He has what’s known as a ‘Canting arms’, an heraldic coat of arms that is based on a Pun, which basically spells out exactly what he is Because He’s Hannibal and at some point Will squints suspiciously at it

because it’s Ye Olden Times with no concept of bacteria and Hannibal is a gentleman Physician he literally has a morgue next to the kitchen in his grand manor house and can be happily dicing up bodies when visitors pop by

at one point Will pops by while he’s doing it and is like ‘heh have you ever got the meats mixed up for your kitchen, accidentally’ and Hannibal’s like ‘........accidentally?? no.’ 

Because Hannibal is a Fae with zero morality and can speak to animals and trees he sees no difference between killing people and cutting down plants/killing animals to eat. 

Jack is Will’s merchant godfather who wants Will to marry well and clumsily tries to set him and Hannibal up (by pretending to want Hannibal’s medical opinion about Will’s sanity) and both of them are furious about it but one of them changes their mind after meeting (guess who)

Will grew up on Royal Navy ships with his Naval dad, which makes him enviably exotic to other omegas his age because he has had Adventures and they have never left England on account of the aforementioned Napoleon; English alphas his age think he’s pretty and exotic but sadly also shrewish hoydenish and a bluestocking 

Will has seen violent deaths during naval battles, helped out a Naval Surgeon in the amputation room, and his darkest secret is that he and his father’s crew once survived mutiny and shipwreck by resorting to... the custom of the sea...

Will and his ill father live either in a hunting/fishing lodge in the woods or a cramped Tudor moated manor house with a bridge courtyard and at some point Hannibal turns up in the house’s courtyard in a carriage (showing off his horsemanship) and Will is like ‘wait how are you here how did you get that carriage here’ and Hannibal is like ‘I used the bridge’.

Hannibal is absolutely knocked on his arse by Will’s scent before he even sees him but isn’t fully intrigued until he notices during a Grand Dinner that that pretty omega in the middle of the table is looking nauseated by certain ‘‘‘‘‘pork’’’’’ dishes???

Hannibal possibly has to resort to smelling salts or a vinaigrette at some point just to keep his Shit even vaguely together around Will

Will has a sorta arranged-since-childhood engagement to his beta cousin Alana, but she’s not into it, so he’s in the awkward poor-relation, impoverished-dependant position, and in danger of becoming the family drudge, a la Cinderella if he can’t get himself an alpha or get the Admiralty to pay out his father’s prize money. 

he’s considered an ineligible spinster by the Village because he makes no effort with his appearance or conversation and is like *gasp* twenty-three or something and no one thinks it’s even odd that he never dances at Assemblies any more 

All the Hopeful Mamas don’t like him because he’s threateningly pretty and they want Alana for their own sons/daughters and are therefore livid that the new, even-better-catch alpha Hannibal takes an interest in him 

All the omegas Hannibal is used to having thrown at him are dripping with fancy accomplishments and fashion whereas Will only knows how to sew sensible shirts for himself + ten midshipmen, net a purse, tie his own fishing flies, navigate using celestial geometry, survive a Newfoundland winter, climb a mast in a force 10 gale without falling or fainting, keep a pack of mongrel dogs, read the Cards of Marseilles, and speak the kind of Catalan, French and Italian you pick up in ports (most improper!) 

Knowing this, some bitchy person tries to embarrass Will during a Ball by asking him to sing and play, expecting him to be humiliated, only to discover- SURPRISE BITCHES! -that he has been hosting his father’s naval parties in port since he was 16, has an angelic countertenor singing voice on account of being a male omega, and can totally sing the shit out of an extremely moving sea shanty and make all their milky daughters look INSIPID

Hannibal has so many horses and carriages he matches them to his outfit when he goes out but Will is literally so bad on a horse omg he grew up travelling on boats not animals and when Hannibal invites him to go riding Will is like ‘I have one (1) mule and a gig’ (type of dowdy carriage that can only fit one person) and Hannibal is physically pained

Mischa is possibly still alive and Will is possibly taken on as her Companion/Tutor by Hannibal when he finds out the dire straits Will is in financially (which is a joke because he is the absolute least suitable candidate imaginable.) 

(If so Mischa is basically Amélie but with murders). 

Hannibal was once arrested and imprisoned for murdering the husband of his mistress, Madame Du Maurier, in Paris, (possibly put in the same prison as the Marquis de Sade) but escaped during the French Revolutionary prison riots (ahh, the Terror, what a fun time!), and that was also where he picked up his Chef - a poisoner. 

All the killers are servants. Gideon the Chef, Hyde the lisping Steward, Budge the Butler, Umber the valet, Molly and Georgia maids, Wells the aged family retainer, Stammets the Gardener, Tier the Gamekeeper, Mrs Pimms the housekeeper (remember mad bee lady!) etc. 

Chilton has pretensions of being a Physician and runs a country house asylum for aristocratic (read: rich) mental patients, like the one King George III was sequestered in, and keeps making unwelcome advances to Will because A) he thinks Will is crazy for believing he is a magician, B) Will might become rich if his dad dies and his prize money comes through. 

Possibly: GJH digs pot holes into fields and roads to make riding omegas come off their horses/be tipped out of their carriages during hunt days and uses his omega daughter Abigail to lure them into accepting a lift in his carriage (as they wouldn’t trust an alpha travelling alone in a covered carriage t’would be a scandal) and because Will looks like Abigail they pick him up one day

Possibly: there is a cage gibbet on a hill near the village (which has a dead hanged criminal in it) and at some point Hannibal locks a person in there knowing no one will come near enough to tell the difference until it’s far too late.
