Summary
Will Graham is chosen as tribute to the Minotaur—a death sentence he accepts without resistance. The orphanage didn't want him anyway.
But when he collapses in the labyrinth's depths, the monster who finds him doesn't kill. Instead, Hannibal carries him home, tends to him, and offers something Will has never had: a place to belong.
There's no exit from the labyrinth. No way out. Only survival, acceptance, and the strange understanding blooming between a boy with nowhere to go and a creature who has been alone for far too long.

Summary
Hannibal comes closer to Will. He is sweating, his pale face is wet with perspiration, making his hair stick to his temples. As he comes nearer, Hannibal can see that his long lashes are clamped together, even darker now from crying, there are dried up tear tracks on his cheeks which Hannibal longs to lick and taste the salt of his skin. He stops a step away from Will and Will sways closer, leaning his head on Hannibal’s thigh. He is scorching even through all the layers of clothing Hannibal has on. Hannibal forgets to breathe.

Summary
Will Graham is a burned-out journalist stuck in a rut: career stagnating, life unraveling, and feelings lingering for his ex-girlfriend, Alana. So when she calls out of the blue to invite him to a dinner party, he knows he should say no. But curiosity, and unresolved feelings, get the better of him.
At the party, Will is introduced to the enigmatic and unsettling Dr. Hannibal Lecter. Cultured, charming, and oddly fixated on Will, Hannibal sets off all of Will's internal alarms. Something about the man feels... off.
As Will digs deeper into Hannibal’s world, he begins to uncover a darkness more terrifying than he could have ever imagined.

Summary
Adeline likes Will Graham. A quiet man with a soft, closed lip smile, an endearing mop of curls, and dog hair habitually decorating his clothes. She met him as his veterinarian, bumped into him often when he volunteered at the same shelter she did; occasionally had run-ins at the only local grocery store.
He’s nice to animals.
It seems like a small thing, but it’s really not. Vet medicine was infamous for its high suicide rate, and anyone close to the field could see plain as day why. Animal neglect, abuse, vitriol from ignorant clients.
Pleasant, handsome men who doted on their dogs like children were far and few between.
//////////
Everyone has their own skeletons in the closet, and Will Graham discovers what his usual veterinarian's are. A dark interest quickly turns to a darker obsession, and his partner--Hannibal Lecter--isn't known for overlooking peculiar opportunities.

Summary
The success Will Graham found in the entertainment industry had really been no surprise to anyone who knew him. He's good at his job. With methods unlike any other, his acting makes him seem less like someone pretending to be someone else and more like the character on screen.
Every director wanted Graham in on their projects. Talk shows and podcasts begged him to attend. Advertisements, Modeling agencies, awards, and fans who would sell their mother for a chance to meet him. Will Graham was good at his job.
Will Graham was not good at the attention that came from his job.

Summary
This is a rewrite of the first season of Hannibal exploring how the story could have unfolded if Hannibal was a non-toxic character capable of forming genuine bonds with other people even with his psychopathy. This is what the story could have been without Hannibal being toxic, manipulative, and abusive towards Will while still keeping the core traits of his character the same (he's still a psychopath, he's still a serial killer, he's still a cannibal).

Summary
The cop seemed like he wanted to say something else but stopped. He cleared his throat and rather fatherly ordered, "Well, don't sleep in your car again, son. You enjoy Georgetown now, alright?"
"Yes, sir." Will answered.
The cop left after an awkward beat and Will slammed the door closed, wrapping the blankets more tightly around himself. He looked down at the card.
Domestic abuse hotline.
He threw the offending card in the front into the pile of trash. He scowled at it. Did he really read that easy? He buried his head under the blankets. He refused to admit it. He didn't want help. He was fine on his own.
