Murder and Mercy - The Timestamps For Ya'aburnee by drinkbloodlikewine, whiskeyandspite
Fandoms: Hannibal (TV)
05 Jun 2014
Tags
Summary
Will looks distraught, flushed and shaking, hair a mess of gorgeously tangled curls outlined only by the light against the bedspread that shares their color. Hannibal shifts his hand, just enough, and Will sobs.
A timestamp that occurs between Boucherie and part 4 of Ya'aburnee. You don't have to have read the series to date to understand this fic, nor to enjoy it, but it's there if you would like to.

Summary
Hannibal huffs a laugh, draws up a knee to set his tablet against and licks his lips.
“I distinctly remember the rule being that whoever chose the initial record would be the one to change it to another.”
Lazy winter afternoons lead to lazy sex.

Summary
So YOU’RE looking to avoid sleeping on the couch tonight. I get it. Maybe you’re a reformed personification of evil and you slip up an insult entire species sometimes. Or maybe you’re just too good at sex and it’s overwhelming to your partner(s). Maybe you’re just too handsome. Maybe your partner sends you to the couch for no reason whatsoever. No matter why you’re looking to avoid the Couch of Doom, following these five easy steps will get you back into your loved one’s bed (and hopefully their pants, too) in no time at all.

Summary
Strumpet. Whore. Rube, rube, rube. Another whore. Junkies, too many to bother counting, one of which he reminds himself needs his fingers broken before he leaves again without paying. Orphan. Barkeep.
Boy.
Not one of his.
But a boy all the same.
Mason Verger runs an opium den in London. Will Graham happens to walk in.
If this sounds familiar, you may be thinking of Elysium and the Vignettes of Sex And Violence, which are both stories written by us, and not copied or forged!

Cut Your Ribbon by drinkbloodlikewine, whiskeyandspite for thellou
Fandoms: Hannibal (TV)
11 Nov 2014
Tags
Summary
"The thought of a boy made deaf and blind, muted as well, entirely subject to my hand is particularly beautiful." A soft smile appears, and Hannibal murmurs, “We will begin with your eyes.”
Part of the Odalisque verse, but not set anywhere in particular. Just the two of them enjoying... what the two of them enjoy.
Based on this exquisite artwork by dasomjr.

Grand Guignol by drinkbloodlikewine, whiskeyandspite for HarleyQueen
Fandoms: Hannibal (TV)
30 Dec 2014
Tags
Summary
“He just likes to look.” Drawing the man above him closer with no more than fingertips against his cheek, Will murmurs against his ear, “Can’t get it up anymore to fuck me himself.”
A twitch of muscle beneath Hannibal’s eyes brings them narrower, a look so subtle that none but the boy would ever notice it, and Will laughs again in delight. “If you’d rather not…”
“No,” the man insists, immediately, grinning as he reaches out, experimentally, to run a hand across the little body spread in front of him. “The Pope could be in that chair and I wouldn’t care.”
Puppy brings home a toy and Hannibal decides to watch him play with it - and him - properly.
Warning: do heed the tags, there is graphic murder and blood and death in this, so if that squicks you... Odalisque is probably not your cup of tea.

- Part 7 of The Odalisque Timestamps

Summary
He drew the inspiration first from the Jewish tradition - intended for them as a means of authenticating one’s desire for conversion.
Hannibal likes to think his own reasons are much the same.
Hannibal is 17, in college under a false age and making ends meet by selling his company to those willing to expend the patience and money. Will Graham doesn't want a rentboy. But what he wants, in buying Hannibal over and over, is something the young man can't quite figure out yet.

Minestra Riscaldata by drinkbloodlikewine, whiskeyandspite for DrJLecter
Fandoms: Hannibal (TV)
18 Mar 2015
Tags
Summary
Hannibal wants to be there when Will arrives, to watch his indifference slide through him like a cold wind before he allows his mind to sink, to slip, and watch him work his way back out, himself, again, and yet someone other behind his eyes.
Always a piece left, when he leaves those minds alone again, always the shadows upon shadows of memories.
Invitation, acceptance. Dominance, submission.

Summary
A mutant temporarily changes Charles's body, and Erik doesn't understand why Charles has taken a step back.
Charles sighs; he's been oblique partly out of consideration to Erik's sensibilities, but apparently Erik is going to make him spell it out. "I know you don't like women," he says gently.
Erik's expression doesn't change. "But you're not a woman."

Summary
Gabriel’s smile does spread his lips, even as Michael’s eyes slip away from it on a languid blink, a deliberate exhale. “Tell me, little brother, how often did you hear my call before you answered it?”
At this, Michael is forced to fight down a smile of his own, training his expression to practiced stoicism. Gabriel can read right through it, he always could, no matter what form they took. There’s something to be said for pretense, though, and so Michael knits his brow.
“For as long as it gave me pleasure to ignore it.”
Twins will always be twins, after all...

Summary
“I already know how to fuck your husband,” laughs Anthony.
Will snorts, gently presses his thighs together just to feel the resistance of them being held open, bites his lip when Hannibal gives him a look and Will gives him one back. Though tethered, he is in no way submissive, not here, not now. He is thoroughly in his element; displayed and beautiful.
“You know how to fuck him, but you will appreciate the lessons on how to satisfy him,” Hannibal says after a moment. “And I would certainly appreciate watching you learn.”
Following on from Paracosm, and part of that verse, but can be read standalone.

There are some great quick-and-dirty guides to HTML on A03. This is not one of them - it is a comprehensive guide
It's now 2025, a decade later. A03 supports some new HTML and and we're all walking around reading fic on supercomputers that fit in a jean pocket. It was time update this and take a crack at finishing it. (Links and Images are in, the new Audio and Video tags are not.)
The previous three chapters have been divided into smaller concepts. Each tag continues to have - at a minimum - a link to the w3schools page about it (so you can learn more), a code example, and the result of the code example. Most tags have their attributes, things like [src] or [title], listed and examples of how using the attributes modify the tags.
There's a chapter on Bad Ideas, including how some of the archive's default CSS is available to you to format your work (users can't turn that off by hiding a workskin!)
Oh. And I added a bunny army. You could learn how to add one too.

Summary
Explains:
● how to make a work skin;
● how to view fics' work skin rules;
● how to colorize text and circle words and highlight backgrounds (examples in head-note), and change and resize your fonts;
● how to turn all links blue-underscore automatically;
● the CSS code for diacritics to render properly, e.g.: “ầ” & “ồ” (with diacritics not superimposed), or “ị” (with underdot directly beneath, not kerned to the left), without breaking words such as “gầu” or “vịt” (using a monotype font for these letters would create gaps to each side of the ầ or the ị). Head-note has corrected examples;
● Site Skin addenda to block / shrink tags, and block authors / works;
● even a quick way (code included) to simply make a Site Skin so that you can read everything in your font of preference!Full code is included.
I read, appreciate, and reply to all of your comments — they're always welcome!

Summary
For such a competent guy, Eddie is kind of unbelievably bad at taking care of himself. There’s something satisfying, soothing even, in just making him do what Buck knows will make him feel better.
this is a fill for the kink meme, for the prompt
Buck/Eddie, gentle domming
Would love to see Buck realizing how much Eddie LOVES being taken care of even though he can never ask for it, gently domming him when they're alone until it turns sexual.
