Together forever

A Swan Lake AU. Will has just declared his love for Hannibal, but it’s too late - throwing themselves into the ocean is the only way they can be together forever. Halfway through drawing this I realized the premise was kinda similar to the season 3 finale, and it made me doubly sad 

This @freshmeatfriday isn’t really fresh. In fact, it is two years old and has been cooking on low-temperature ever since! But because it’s recently been finished, with just the right tenderness and flavour resulting in a fantastic read, today’s a good chance to rec “Black Swan” by @genufa and tell everyone who hasn’t read it yet to stop what they are doing and go over to AO3 asap! I mean, guys, Hannibal is a majestic af black swan. What more do you want?

For me, this is the fic equivalent to Hatoful Boyfriend. In case you don’t know it (and you probably don’t): it’s a game where you, as a human character, date birds. And you start playing it for the lulz, because what a ridiculous concept right? Turns out it is hilarious, but it has also quite a bit of depth, and a twist or two, and feels. It is just the same with this fic: it uses the show’s characters creatively and still manages to stay true to them, it is well written, there’s a weirdly erotic dream sequence where Will grinds into feathers and... ummm... yeah. Sold yet?
