Je me souviens [M, 3k]

Hannibal lives forever. Will does not, except in Hannibal’s mind.
I have read this at least 5 times and cried every time. It’s painful and beautiful.

I made a podfic of this!

Sweet Misery [E, 1k]

God I love this. Hannibal is uhh... whipped. I mean, he is in canon any way, but here especially.

Sea Change [E, 4k]

Will and Hannibal grow in their intimacy after the fall.

Very soft, gentle, and tender.

All I Need is a Stream [E, 8k]

“There was a certain symmetry to it. Will had his rebirth into dark radiance. It was only fitting that Hannibal be reborn into adoration.”

Will is a selkie. He and Hannibal start their new lives together.

Just What We Need [E, 8k]

This is so painful and beautiful. Will leaves Hannibal after the fall. They both miss each other dearly.

Pochée [M, 8k]

Will and Hannibal start texting while Will is away on a case. Blatant flirting ensues.

I have a podfic of this! archiveofourown.org/works/26048809

archiveofourown.org/works/23147947/

I Am Not A Morning Person [E, 14k]

A different sort of Coffee Shop AU. Will Graham quit the FBI to be an asshole baker. Hannibal is intrigued despite himself.

We Can Chase the Dark Together [E, 16k]

I’m not normally one for time travel fics but I really like this one. Post-Fall Will goes back in time to his life before he meets Hannibal and decides to pursue him first this time.

like you like this [E, 34k]

An omegaverse case-fic.
This is precious? They truly, truly do love each other and yes this fic is fluffy but Hannibal is still... Hannibal.

Quatervois [E, 33k]

Alpha Hannibal offers Omega Will a deal - if Will can live with him through his next heat without begging to be mated, Will can do what he likes. If he can’t, he’ll be Hannibal’s mate & bear his pups. Will accepts.

With a Crown of Stars [E, 33k]

Kid-fic.
“Will looks into Hannibal’s eyes. There is a kind of pleased satisfaction that startles Will. He’s not used to anyone looking at him like that, for any reason, but Hannibal married him today&he’s happy about it.”
archiveofourown.org/works/12335052/

Unexpected Delight [E, 61k]

AU. Will & Hannibal are in a new relationship-they both think the other is strictly vanilla. They’re both pleasantly surprised at how wrong they are.

archiveofourown.org/works/16027292/

An Ounce of Wit [E, 69k]

Magical AU. Will gets turned into a cat boy, specifically a snow leopard. Hannibal is obsessed with Will’s new appendages. And Will, in general.

archiveofourown.org/works/22407949/

The Infinitives Series [E, 93k]

An incredible take on Sub!Hannibal and Dom!Will. Will makes a cruel, cruel Dom here and Hannibal is extremely into it. Note the Non-con tag - this is very dark. But it’s not unhappy.

archiveofourown.org/series/797292

Fics are organized by length and are posted in the chronological order in which I bookmarked them.

Happy reading! 💕✨

Ladders Series [E, 134k]

Post S1 AU. Hannibal breaks Will out of prison. This doesn’t make their relationship any simpler. They move to rural France. Hannibal acquires a puppy, which he names Wig.

I love this fic dearly-definitely a comfort read.

archiveofourown.org/series/797292

Daydreamer and the Shadowman Series [E, 169k]

Omegaverse AU. Will grows up receiving mysterious letters from an unknown man. Identity porn, Dark/Semi-Dark Will, extremely devoted Hannibal, and so so so much love in this story. Watch the tags.

archiveofourown.org/series/1175960

as soft, as wide as air [E, 191k]

An epic of becoming in three acts. This is a tragedy, not for Hannibal & Will but for everyone else. Will here is an avenging angel of hell & Hannibal is as manipulative & devoted as he’s ever been. Highly recommend.

archiveofourown.org/works/11016648/

Faded Fantasy Series [E, 232k]

H & W learn to trust one another & navigate Will’s sexuality. Pining, romancing, sexual tension. Hannibal is so incredibly smitten with Will that it’s painful for him.
Can’t recommend this one enough.

archiveofourown.org/series/656630

Selcouth + timestamps [E, 216k]

Clever, underaged Hannibal is selling his body to put himself through medical school. He and Will... don’t get along. Until they really, really do.
Gentle Dom Will and Subby Hannibal. Non-con is not H/W.

archiveofourown.org/works/3328544/

Odalisque / Vignettes of Sex and Violence [E, 231k]

Will is an underage serial killer with a rent-boy cover. Hannibal is Hannibal. They pick each other as marks, but they can’t quite kill each other. Kink, and eventually love, ensues.

archiveofourown.org/series/132567

Friendship is Not My Forte [E, 134k]

The one where Hannibal puts out the fire in will’s brain early, Will’s dog’s feature prominently, Will is Creole, legally a minor, & doesn’t drink. Hannibal’s still a serial killer cannibal but he’s a good boyfriend.

archiveofourown.org/series/47434

Crystal Ship Series [E, 273k]

A retelling of s1 if they got together early. Matches the tone of the show. Lots of literature references, great dialogue, strong Abigail presence and some enjoyable OCs.

archiveofourown.org/series/47234

A Great and Gruesome Height [E, 121k]

This is a masterpiece. The writing is beautiful, the plot is engaging & tense without overshadowing character & relationship development. H&W’s growth and malleability is lovely to watch. Definitely a must read.
