|| Matthew Brown my beloved.

It felt like murder. If you feel so badly about it, I don't think you ever intended to do it.

I don't intend to kill unless I have to. I shot a man ten times to save his daughter. I. . . Am more content to move pieces into place and see what happens. Did you feel badly about it?

I never wanted to. I was removed from homicide because I couldn't kill anyone. Until I did. I have time for a long story. Who did you kill?

Never? I have. I'd have shot him, too, if I hadn't been stopped.

He framed his mentally ill client for murder and the client sewed him into the horse. Um. He deserved it. And I felt. . . Empathy for the client due to similar circumstances, so I almost shot the social worker.

Sitting outside in the rain with his dogs.

As an FBI agent, I get it. My experience with horses is a social worker climbing out of one.

..... I'm so curious about your life.

He woke up far before his alarm, and he's exhausted.

|| Nothing makes me click out of Hannibal fanfiction faster than Will calling Hannibal "Hanni". I just can't.

|| In my Hannibal rewatch and the worst thing about the ambulance eye fuck scene is that the episode also heavily features Franklin and I cringe.

|| I have such little impulse control that I watched Saw again and I want to write Lawrence Gordon.

Cut me open and make yourself at home in my chest.

There's not enough coffee.

maybe in another life, loyalty wasn't one -- sided and love wasn't convenience .

|| I, adult human, 29yo, with a full-time corporate job, bought myself juice boxes because I am allowed and there is no one to stop me.

|| In recent news, @crimsonstaeg.bsky.social I cannot STAND this man.

|| Friendly reminder Will PAYS for therapy with Bedelia just to be petty that he won a man she doesn't even want.

God forbid I start walking around with the top buttons of my shirt open.

Are you from Victorian England?

|| Every day I have to wake up and sign into Microsoft Teams.

"Well, there will be meat." Will smiles back, though it's faint. Just the smallest upturn at the corners of his mouth. "You'll enjoy it."

"He's a talented cook," Will responds with a shrug. "I hope neither of you is a vegetarian."

We've had sex and kissing my chest is the thing he has trouble admitting?

Either Ryder and Hannibal will become great friends, or they'll hate each other. Will is more curious about what strings may be pulled. "I'll see if Hannibal has any . . . Meal ideas."

Tsch.

"Yeah, I don't see any problem at all getting Hannibal and Ryder in a room together." He's very curious what might happen, in fact.

Mentally, nothing is wrong with me. I'm just in love with a serial killer.

He really doesn't need to. Will will be there in a flannel and a pair of nice jeans at best. "I've heard that Hannibal and Ryder are . . . Of a similar nature. From our conversations, I gather that we are similar in how we indulge that nature."

"I'm not dressing up, you don't have to. Hannibal is a . . . Talented cook," Will replies with a furrowed brow. "It's — it's fairly assumed we'll all get along."

"It's probably just going to be dinner, nothing. . . Well. I can't say nothing fancy. Hannibal will probably want to cook."

Will takes the card. "Is this an updated number? I think that our partners are interested in a double date."

For no particular reason, he needs @detectivesrgnt.bsky.social's phone number.

( And so he should. )

( He'll ask for it. They'll make a plan. )

( Ah, no. But he can get it. )

|| And if I say that my version of Will has a southern accent when he's feeling particularly emotional because he grew up in Louisiana, and he listens to 70s/80s country and bluegrass music and not Radiohead like the fandom has Will listening to?

( That's a good question. Might have to exchange numbers. )

|| The way Will says "Tell me why you know?" and "Evidently not well enough" when Hannibal says he helped Abigail dispose of Nick's body. Will was so down to be part of the little murder family, all Hannibal had to do was ask instead of commit psychological warfare.

|| My mental health is kicking my ass.

( They'll have to arrange that, then. )

|| People who don't realize how toxic Will also was will be the death of me. Possessive, jealous Will Graham they won't take you away from me.

( Well, he's not one to invite people to dinner on Hannibal's behalf. . . But they really should all get together sometime. )

( The types of people they are. They find each other. )

Is this me.
