    Summary

    “There are only two truths around here. Any man can be king for a night,” the younger man says with a wry grin and long drawl, sliding cards from the card shoe into tidy rows in front of himself and Hannibal. “But by the morning, the house always wins.”

    ---

    Summary

    Will drives the modest sixteen miles back home.

    It’s unclear if he’s supposed to, but Will’s been told the Chesapeake Ripper has set him free, and he’s meant to be happy about it. Maybe even strongly enough to recommend it on an ongoing basis. So he should go wherever he thinks that might be.

    Summary

    When Will initially declares that he would not leave the country without the dog, Hannibal briefly wonders if falling from a cliffside had made all of the man’s profiling and forensic knowledge fall clear out his ears. Hannibal doesn’t quite ask if Will is serious. It is obvious that he very much is.

    “Only the one?” asks Hannibal mildly, pressing a square of iodine-soaked gauze to his gut wound to clean the stitches.

    ---

    Hannibal unintentionally learns how to share, and against his will, how to grieve. A gentle post-Season 3 look at falling in love and losing again.

    Summary

    Hannibal presses his lips together, sighing through his nose as he lowers his hand, forces himself to pry his fingers away from the sweat-damp curl of Will's hair. He had simply meant to tuck it behind his ear, away from his face. Too close to his forehead. Too close to his neck. Hannibal knows touch-starvation, he has felt it since he turned himself in and that single embrace on the cliffs had only whetted his appetite and sharpened his fangs. Will's neck is caked with blood, his sore shoulders stiff with strain from helping Hannibal haul the body into their safehouse, to dissect and harvest for their meal.

    "You're starving me," he whispers, and steps away.

    Will lets out a rough sound, eager and savage and shows his teeth when he smiles. "It's what we deserve."
