Do you have any fic recs in which Will is appreciative of/infautuated with the Chesapeake Ripper while not knowing who it is ( at first at least )?
Omg yes this is one of my favorite tropes! TBH I think Iāll add this as a category to my index hehe. Here are some recs:
Carnivore, Won't You Come Digest Me? by HigherMagic [words: 64,019]
Role Reversal AU: Following the execution of Garrett Jacob Hobbs, Hannibal is forced to see Doctor Will Graham for a psychiatric evaluation before he can return to the field. Once cleared, Jack insists that Will shadow Hannibal in the hopes of catching the Shrike's copycat. Hannibal has become a master of making sure the FBI stays blind to his extracurricular activities, but Will is a man who sees far too much, and won't be so easily overcome.
The Voices and the Shadows by darlinghogwarts [words: 114,625]
āThe Chesapeake Ripper? The serial killer? That's a grisly thing to find at the bottom of a drink. Most people say oblivion ...or possibly sex.ā Hannibal sips his wine again. āWhy are you thinking about a murderer on your birthday, Will? Is it part of your degree?ā āHe is a part of my degree by my own choice. My supervisor didnāt approve, butā¦ā He sighs. āI insisted.ā
Where the Albatross Crash-Lands by HigherMagic [words: 40,220]
Everyone has two marks on their arm: one is the name of their soulmate, the other is the name of their mortal enemy. There's no way of knowing which is which. This same trick of fate makes it so that your Marks are the only two voices you will ever hear when you go deaf at sixteen. Hannibal has a nice voice. Will hopes he's his mate. He hopes he never hears the voice of the Chesapeake Ripper.
Out of Order by HigherMagic [words: 7,346]
Hannibalās car breaks down on a long road in the middle of West Virginia. In his quest to seek help, he ends up at an abandoned gas station, with a little house and a large barn. Living there is a man, Will Graham, who offers to take a look at his car and drive him to the next town so he has a place to stay. Hannibal cannot resist digging into Willās mind and personal life during the drive, learning that Will teaches remotely for the FBI, and in particular, lectures on the Chesapeake Ripper.
Page Six by ThisBeautifulDrowning [words: 66,839]
Crime reporter Will Grahamās column on page six of the Baltimore Sun garners him the attention of many: fans, hobby detectives, the FBIā¦and others. Hannibal cut off a piece of meat with surgical precision. āI find your company rather engaging.ā āMaybe I donāt find you all that engaging.ā Silence. Hannibal grinned. āI see that it will take more than one dinner to earn your forgiveness. Challenge accepted.ā
Not Interested by Watermelonsmellinfellon [words: 64,333]
Will Graham, an Omega of forty-four years, finally finds himself interested in an Alpha. The only problem... that Alpha is not interested in him! And he can't stand it!
Falling Away with You by Shotgun_sinner [words: 192,007]
Will Graham is a private detective with a fiancƩe who doesn't understand him, his empathy disorder, or his obsession with catching the Chesapeake Ripper. His night terrors force him into an ultimatum; couple's therapy, or their relationship is done. Will meets his new therapist, Hannibal Lecter, and his entire world is turned upside down.
The Back Foot by spqr [words: 8,468]
When Hannibal finds out that the hooker heās spent the last month romancing up and down the isle of Manhattan is also the author of the NYTās monthly Dark Minds column, he reacts much the same way Will expects a normal man would react upon finding out his new girlfriend could deep throat.
Hold for Release by cloudsarefluffy [words: 8,547]
āBut?ā āWill, I think youāre obsessed with the Chesapeake Ripper.ā For a moment, Will just blinks at her, but after what she says sinks in, a chuckle starts building up in his chest until it grows into a laugh. Heās almost coming apart at the seams because of Beverly, but as he notices heās the only one finding it funny, his giggling dies off into silence. āOh⦠Youāre serious.ā
They Made It For Me by zombieboyband [words: 8,844]
Will is manipulated into dirty talking at Hannibal about the Ripper.

Hey there :)) I'm looking for post-canon fics that really go deep into exploring Will's and Hannibal's character and don't revolve around smut (some smut is fine, as long as it's not the central focus). I love the kind of melancholic vibe when it feels like they're the only people in the world. The pining is nice too. My favourites so far are Cascade, Waiting for winter, Mark of his name, Two Solitudes, To Have and to Hold & What's Left. Sorry if I'm being to specific. Thank you so much!
Hello! A fic that kinda describes what youāre looking for is Into the Wild. Itās post-fall and centers around Will and Hannibal looking out for each other after Hannibal loses his memory! The one downside is that itās unfinished :( but itās so good that I think itās definitely worth reading!Ā
you and I have begun to blur
Hi there :) I've just discovered your blog and have read some of your metas and I really like your approach toward the show. I'm new so I don't know whether anyone has asked this or not but I would really appreciate it if you gave us your opinion on "Why did will reject Hannibal mid season 3?" and also "Why did he try to kill him when he had forgave him already?". These 2 questions are eating my mind. Thank you for the time you put here and Good Luck :*xxx
Hi, glad to know you liked my analysis. And welcome to the fandom. I will answer your 2nd question first. Why did he try to kill him when he had forgiven him already?Ā
Forgiveness
Will is going through a difficult journey - from not knowing himself fully to coming to understand his darker side and enjoying the macabre with Hannibal, he is also coming to understand Hannibal and the extent of love Hannibal has for him or he has for Hannibal. Post Mizumono he sails to meet him, is regretting losing Hannibal, regretting lying to him. We also see him in the kitchen pining for Hannibal and the the family he could have had. All this culminates in āI forgive youā in the catacombs. It reflects that he thinks has understood Hannibalās actions.
DoubtsĀ
At the same time, he is still not free of doubts about Hannibal, so he saysĀ
(paraphrased) - Hannibal will always have one train of thought thatās only self-serving, for his own amusement.Ā
We had seen these doubts time and again in season 2 when he questioned Hannibal if he has a better side or probing how many protĆ©gĆ©-patients he had other than him and Randall. Will and Hannibalās relationship had always been dogged with Willās insecurity about Hannibalās true feelings and motives. Seeing Abigail alive in Mizumono had temporarily convinced him that that the feelings are true.
But later, he travels to Hannibalās ancestral home where two things happen ā He meets Chiyo. And he sets up events that leads to Chiyoh killing the prisoner followed by making his snail-firefly murder tableau. This confuses him, he thinks Chiyoh could be one of Hannibalās abandoned projects like he has now been abandoned by Hannibal. And then he meets Jack and Bedelia, Jack reminds an already emotionally compromised Will the need to cut out the part of him that wanted to run away with Hannibal, and to kill him. When he meets Bedelia ā he sees the person Hannibal tried to replace him with, he might have felt Hannibal had been leading a fine life in Europe while he languished in a hospital. And Hannibal is letting Bedelia go unscratched with an alibi. All this reinforces the idea that Hannibal doesnāt value him.Ā
Trying to be free of each otherās influence and ReciprocityĀ
What he feels for Hannibal also affects what he feels about his own dark side, about his becoming and vice versa. When he sets up events that gets Chiyohās prisoner killed, his dark and chaotic side is unleashed once again and he tries to deny it, Chiyoh points out that he did it -because he was curious what would happen, like Hannibal does.Ā Will engages a lot in self-deception and denial, he tries to assure himself that by killing Hannibal he can be free of him and the dark side, trying to attribute inner workings of his own mind to an extraneous agency. There is also the idea of reciprocity, where they mirror each otherās actions. Sometimes this is in jest like even-steven, sometimes more sinister like the knives.Ā
A half-hearted attempt - Everything said and done, Willās attempt at killing Hannibal felt weak to me ā trying to attack him in a crowded place with a tiny knife. I would lean more on the side that he was taking out emotional frustration since the attempt was so weak.
Now the first question, why he rejected Hannibal in Digestivo
Will had a long bad day, and the memory of Hannibal cutting his head had not faded yet. The doubts and denials I discussed in the first question are still clouding his mind ā Hannibalās motives, impulsiveness, his own becoming. He really needed the time to think. There is also a fair amount of angst in the discussion Hannibal points out his true nature to himĀ
āYou delight in wickedness and berate yourself for delightingā,Ā
and Will is defensive trying to distance himself from the truth, due to emotional dispute with Hannibal. If we look at the bigger picture ā everything that happened in the story were key to the becoming of both men. Will had to resolve his inner conflicts and Hannibal had to give up control. So the events which followed ā Will temporarily leading a normal life to finally accept the inevitable that it is not for him, and Hannibal giving up control and freedom (to an extent) ā both were necessary for them to reconcile.Ā
There was a line towards the end of season 3 where Will saysĀ
āYou turned yourself in so that I will always know where you are but youād only do that if Iād rejected youā,Ā
Bryan claims itās a twist and the idea was from Hugh and Mads. I am not too convinced though, Will at that point wasnāt in a position to actively manipulate Hannibal (unconsciously though itās possible). But he can definitely retrofit the story like that in order to twist the knife, since he had clear intention of emotionally hurting Hannibal in the scene.Ā
If suppose Hugh and Mads are right and he consciously manipulated Hannibal- then he was aiming for the surrender, so that he knows āwhere he is and he can find himā. It looks not too plausible since Will wasnāt sure of Hannibalās depth of emotions for him. May be he was litmus-testing then.
Hope this answers most of the doubts :)Ā
Some additional reading - hereĀ , I had read a meta on reciprocity probably by @bloodsmile but sorry I canāt seem to locate it ! .. EDIT here it isĀ
Please write a meta about how Will wasn't manipulated into codependency and that's the only reason he's obsessed with Hannibal. Like I've heard that argument so many times and it bothers me
Ugh. Honestly, I have no idea why so many people seem to enjoy taking Willās agency from him. @bloodsmile wrote a great meta on it here.
Some more useful related reads: goals of Hannibalās therapyĀ + this addition; progression of Willās darkness; Will and control; Willās person suit;Ā Willās motivations; Will and his views on free will + this, and Willās moral conflict.
All these analyses cover the foundation and nuances of Will as a character as well as Hannibalās goals for him. But let me briefly elaborate.
I feel like the whole āHannibal is cultivating co-dependency and takes everything from poor Willā stems from E12 of S2 in particular. This is what Will accuses Hannibal of:
Will: Youāre fostering codependency.
Hannibal is not so sure.
Hannibal: Is that what Iām doing?
Will: I bond with Abigail, you take her away. I bond with barely more than the idea of a child, you take it away. You saw to it that I alienated Alana, alienated Jack. You donāt want me to have anything in my life thatās not you.
This might be what Will feels, sure. But is this actually justified? Or is he misinformed, dodging the blame and refusing to take his part of responsibility? Letās break it into parts.
1) I bond with Abigail, you take her away.
Not true. Will is resentful and hurt because he doesnāt see a whole picture yet. Abigail is alive and Hannibal intends to reunite them.
2) I bond with barely more than the idea of a child, you take it away.
Partly justified. Hannibal did raise the topic of children to Mason after learning Margot is pregnant from Will - heās impulsive when heās jealous. But later on, he actually tried to get Mason to accept this idea, and he was angry and regretful over what happened to Margot (which is why he risked by letting Mason live and leaving him in a vulnerable state.) You can see the analysis of this here.
3) You saw to it that I alienated Alana.
Not true. Will was the one who alienated Alana. He realized that she isnāt in love with him even before the court, in this scene. (Taking everything from the script.)
Alana: I donāt have romantic feelings for Will Graham. I have a professional curiosity.
That sits in the air. Brauer breaks it. Pleased.
Brauer: I like āprofessional curiosity.ā Itās so⦠indifferent. Unless you look like youāre lying when you say it. But you didnāt.
Will: She wasnāt lying.
Alana is looking at Will, the painful truth of this hurts.
Alana started losing even friendly interest in Will the darker he started to behave. In and after E5, after Will sends Matthew after Hannibal, Alana doesnāt want to have anything to do with him. Sheās scared and wary of him. Instead of trying to mend the relationship with her, Will is acting creepy and menacing - just look at how he behaves after faking Freddieās death - he scares her deliberately. Heās hostile and arrogant during discussions of his and Hannibalās bond. Itās Willās choices that pushed Alana away + Alanaās own absence of interest in a real version of Will.
4) You saw to it that I alienated Jack.
Not true. For one thing, Will and Jack are a team now, they technically work against Hannibal together and everything is fine. In reality, Will is actually betraying Jack over and over again. He lies to him, he sides with Hannibal, he covers for him with Mason, and he warns him in the finale. Like with Alana, itās Willās actions that damage and ruin the bond between him and Jack.
Now, as for co-dependency in general. Yes, Hannibal is possessive - Will is as well. Yes, Hannibal wants Will to choose him above everything. Will wants it, too. In fact, this is what Will says to Jack in E7:
Will: You have to create a reality where only you and the fish exist, where your lure becomes what he wants most, despite everything he knows.
Will himself admits that he plans on fostering co-dependency between himself and Hannibal. Will ends the conversation about Hannibal taking things from him with the following phrase.
Will: Youāre right. We are just alike. Youāre as alone as I am. And weāre both alone without each other.
This is like, the glaring co-dependency proof. Will is participating in it as actively as Hannibal. Hannibal is the one whoās going to give up his whole life for Will, and he has many things to lose: his excellent reputation, his patients, his multiple friendly connections, etc. Will doesnāt have much in the first place. They are both obsessed with one another, and they choose to go back to one another again and again. Itās a choice, a conscious choice on their part.
Will is an adult who makes his own decisions. Hannibal didnāt make him fall in love, become obsessed, become a killer, etc. All Hannibal did was offer acceptance and love, and create situations where Will could end someoneās life if he wanted to. Will used all that and more.
I am not surprised, some fans like to think of Will as a poor brain dead puppet-slave, donāt know how they think it adds any value to the story !
And there is also another very important dimension to Hannibalās general possessiveness of Will, some impulsiveness and jealousy aside he isnāt so aimless about the agenda. People tend to rationalise the relationship as per normal people standard, but Will-Hannibalās relationship is more than rapport between two people, it also represents a concept. All Hannibal wants is to support Willās becoming and help him see and accept himself, if s-1 was about helping WillĀ āseeā whatās within him, then s-2 was about keeping him on that path and s-3 was about the last nudge Will needs. Everything Hannibal does also helps Will be on that path of becoming, removing distractions (Margotās baby), removing easy bonding devices (Abigail) and removing people who can confuse him (like Alana, who is a normal psychiatrist and till then was in no position to understand him)Ā
Actually Willās possessiveness and jealousy regarding Hannibal is less to do with such deeper layers, and rather more in the passion-attraction territory !! I wish more people could recognise and appreciate itĀ

Eight things we learned from Martin Freemanās Desert Island Discs (x)
Actor Martin Freeman made his breakthrough as everyman Tim Canterbury in The Office and has gone on to play Dr Watson alongside Benedict Cumberbatchās Sherlock Holmes and the intrepid Bilbo Baggins in Peter Jacksonās Hobbit trilogy.
Born in Hampshire in 1971, Martin grew up in Teddington, the youngest of five children. After five years of playing competitive squash, making the national squad as a junior, he realised he didnāt have the killer instinct required to be champion and switched to youth theatre instead where he found his true calling.
1. He was inspired to act by Sir Michael Caine
Martinās natural, seemingly effortless performance style is not, he suggests, as straightforward as it might seem. Of his acting he says: āI think itās your job to not show any work. If you wouldnāt do it in real life, donāt do it in front of a camera or on stage. The people who made me want to be an actor when I was a kid were people who didnāt seem to be doing anything. The best of Michael Caine is like he is doing nothing and I believed him.ā
2. Disadvantages in his childhood helped to give him confidence
āI was the youngest of five by a fair way, Jamie the next brother up from me is six years older. By the time I came along, my parentsā marriage had pretty much broken down and I was ill, I had a dodgy hip and asthma and eczema and hayfever. I was in and out of hospital occasionally for various things. But I had a sort of confidence, I just had to because I was a little⦠so like a lot of small people you either fight, probably not going to happen because Iām much smaller than everyone. Or you circumnavigate other ways round it.ā
3. His original ambition was to play squash
Martin was a talented squash player at junior level, playing for Surrey and in national squads, at one stage he was the number one in his age group. āI thought I was going to be a squash player until I was about fourteen,ā he explains. āI loved it. Until I started to not love it, because itās a big commitment ā a lot of training, a lot of travel. I wasnāt competitive enough. Iād be two games to love up and be on a match point and Iād immediately be thinking, āWhatās this other guy feeling?ā So that tells me, in hindsight, thatās much more attuned to being an actor than it is to being a champion sportsman. ā
4. He describes two-tone as being like a religion for him
Martin loves music. He has guest presented on BBC Radio 6 Musicās Funk and Soul programme and has co-released a jazz compilation album. Two-tone, a genre blending ska and punk, has been hugely influential on him. āThere was something very direct about it; I was one of millions of kids in Britain who felt like it was speaking directly to me,ā he says. Choosing Baggy Trousers by Madness, Martin claims that hearing the song for the first time set him on a path for the rest of his life.
5. He had more fun being naughty than studying
Uninterested in many of his lessons, Martin suggests that he wasnāt the best student while he was at school: āI was easily distracted, I was lazy, I was unfocused. I only got three GCSEs which disappointed even me. I was a smart arse and like a lot of teenagers I thought I knew everything.ā
6. He left drama school to do āvery littleā at the National Theatre
After a year as a kitchen porter, Martin gained a place at the Central School of Speech and Drama, but left in his third year to play minor roles at the National Theatre. He insists that this was the right decision: āIf someone says to you, āDo you want to come and work at the National Theatre?ā you donāt say, āLet me get back to you!ā I was doing very little at the National, I was basically set dressing, what they call a āspear carrierā really. But you were spear carrying at the National Theatre working with Michael Gambon and Simon Russell Beale and Diana Rigg and I realised that as soon as Iād got there that Iād made a good career choice.ā
7. Heās starred in Hollywood blockbusters, but can still remember his TV debut in The Bill
Martin moved into television by following the oft-trodden path of aspiring actors, by auditioning for a host of British soaps and TV series. His first TV role was in The Bill. āI was a man called Craig Parnell⦠and I was probably quite bad in it, but it was exciting!ā
8. He didnāt get the part in The Office that he auditioned for
Martin starred as the likeable everyman Tim in Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchantās sitcom The Office, but he originally auditioned for the part of Gareth, made famous by Mackenzie Crook. After being asked by producers to re-read for the character of Tim, Martin obliged and the sitcom went on to be an unprecedented success. āThe success was amazing, because it was off the back of a show that I loved. So to have it then validated by so many people was amazing,ā he recalls. āFor three years we went to award shows and cleaned up everywhere. I felt for a period we were very loved.ā
Hello! This may be hard to explain, but I was just wondering if you had any fics where John's been getting injured on cases or having to go to the hospital a lot and people think it's domestic abuse or something? I know it sounds strange, but I read a short fic where a doctor treated John then gave him a pamphlet about spousal abuse or something similar. Sorry it's so long, but thanks!
Hey Nonny!
Ahhh, yes, I remember that fic, just canāt remember which fic it is š¤¦āāļøIām so dumb Iām sorry D:
THAT SAID I donāt know of any other fics like that that I can recall off the top of my head... Anyone know of any (and which fic it is that I forgot, itās bugging me š)?
kylaralynnĀ said:Ā I feel like I've read that one before, and now I'm really hoping someone finds it.
-----
Itās troublesome when I am SURE Iāve read something and I canāt find it.
GUYS!!! I ACCIDENTALLY FOUND THE FIC I WAS THINKING OF WHEN I WAS DOING ANOTHER LIST!!!
Concussions And Good Old Fashioned Awkwardness by Belldere (K+, 894 w., 1 Ch. || Humour, Hospitals, Mild John Whump, Misunderstandings, Platonic Relationship, Concussions, Not-Gay John, Possessive Sherlock) ā When John lands himself in hospital... again, all he wants is to just get out of there as soon as possible, too bad his doctor has other ideas about where John may be getting his injuries. Good thing concussions make everything strangely funnier.

LOL. If anyone has anyone has any others to add, please do!
