Do you have a shadow, Peter? Someone only you can see. Someone you considered a friend. He made you feel less alone. Until you saw what he really is.

Breakwater - Chapter 10: Epilogue - Death and the Maiden
In which Alana picks up the pieces of the havoc she wrought.
Alana couldn’t afford to rest as long as she hadn’t definitively convinced herself of their demise. She had to see their stiffening corpses with her own eyes, feel the absence of pulse and breath with her own hands if she didn’t want to spent the rest of her life with their shadows lingering in her periphery. Preferably, she wanted to see them taken apart, heads and limbs cut off and burned like some old world monsters, just to rule out any possibility for resurrection.
I did it you guys! It’s finally finished! *ungracefully opens bottle of wine*
Thanks to everyone who read, liked and commented. Much Love <3<3<3

Breakwater - Chapter 9: The Wrath of Achilles
In which Will reunites with some old friends and Hannibal walks the halls of his memory palace.
Will didn’t care for Jack’s guilt, he could have choked on it, if it were up to him, and he didn’t want his pity. He wanted him to see. Wanted him to finally, properly, look at him and recognize what had been there all along, bubbling and seething under the paper-thin surface, tearing at the badly mended cuts of his exterior like kerosene waiting for the igniting flame. He hadn’t been corrupted. He’d been elevated, freed, years of denial and self-hatred combusted when Hannibal finally struck the match.

Breakwater - Chapter 6: The Trail’s End
The road trip continues.
As the west grew closer, Will felt himself growing more and more tense. His dreams about the ocean turned into nightmares about blood. The dead man on the bridge came to him at night, and his face was Alana's and Bedelia's, the face of the woman in the beach house and that of her son. In the end, it always turned into Hannibal's, a grinning skull with bits of flesh hanging from his empty eye sockets. Will woke up gasping, clutching Hannibal's shoulders like he expected him to turn into smoke between his fingers.

It was as if the two of them were suspended in a space void of time, as if they had never stopped floating in the cold ocean tide. They were bleeding out and they couldn’t breathe but it didn’t matter. They would keep floating until Will decided to either drown them or bring them up for air. There were promises Hannibal had made back in the real world, feasts to finish and reckonings to be had but they could wait. For now he was happy letting himself drift in the current of Will Graham’s mind.
Will drags Hannibal out of the Atlantic and has to deal with the consequences of his becoming. They embark on a roadtrip of murder and introspection and Hannibal sits back patiently while he waits for Will to make the decision that will seal their fate. A story about blood and the ocean, and loving something that may ultimately destroy you.

Breakwater - Chapter 5: To See or Not to See
In which Will makes a decision.
Will could feel Hannibal’s tendons shift under his palm and the soft bump of his larynx as he spoke. He was close enough to smell the shampoo in Hannibal’s hair, lingering above the metallic scent of blood like rose pedals on water. He gave a small, experimental squeeze. His fingers dug into tense muscle and for a moment, Hannibal’s breath hitched. He squeezed again, this time harder. The fragile walls of Hannibal’s trachea bent under his tightening grip. It wasn’t enough to block his entire airway yet, he could still feel his breath rattling through his chest as it was rising against his own.

Breakwater -  Chapter 4: Enucleation
In which Will only wants a shower but then all hell breaks loose.
A book rested on Hannibal’s knees, his index finger pinched between the pages. He was watching Will closely. “Bad dreams?”, he inquired.
“Yeah.” Will huffed and pressed the heels of his hands against his burning eyes.
“Of what kind?”
Will thought that he almost sounded demanding. We are bound now, your dreams belong to me. It was the truth of course and Will found himself strangely unbothered by it.

Breakwater - Chapter 8: Trébuchet
In which a conspiracy unfolds and Will and Hannibal are literally bringing knives to a gunfight.
As they said their goodbyes, Alana put her hand on Bedelia’s shoulder. The gesture struck Bedelia in its gravity and for a moment she couldn’t help but search the other woman’s gaze for any sign of remorse, or pity. Alana’s eyes were distant and calculating, like Bedelia was nothing more than a piece on a board who’s next move she was contemplating, and not the human being she was so willingly sending to slaughter. She thought of the look on Will Graham’s face when they had discussed Frederick Chilton and it made her skin crawl.

Breakwater - Chapter 7: The Finer Things in Life
In which Will and Hannibal engage in a romantic leg amputation as well as a battle of wits with a very disgruntled Bedelia.
“Surgeons use the pauses in between their pulses and breaths to execute the most precise cuts. A short interval bereft of our metabolic distractions, creating a moment of perfect calm.” Hannibal lifted his hand from where it sat on the table and spread it over Will’s breastbone, so that his chest rose into his palm and only inches of bone and muscle separated his fingertips from the pounding heart underneath. When the beats aligned with Will’s breathing, Hannibal whispered, his lips only millimeters from the other man’s ear. “Now.”

Chapter 3, in which they roadtrip and talk about their feelings. Enjoy!
“Why is it that every encounter we have, I lose some part of myself in the process?”
Hannibal regarded him from the corner of his eyes, saw him looking down at the gauze that covered the space where a healthy thumb had sat mere hours ago.
“I don’t consider it a loss as much as a gained opportunity. An act of alteration, a stepping stone in your becoming. Layers of outer flesh carved away to reveal what has been waiting beneath all along.”
“Fingers don’t grow back. Flesh that has been severed can’t be reattached. Once exposed, the core can never be covered up again. You cannot call back what you’ve unleashed.”
“Nor do I want to.”

Check out the little post-canon Hannibal fic that I wrote/am still writing. Chapter 1 and 2 are up, chapter 3 is in the works!
Thunder exploded in the night sky the moment they broke through the rippled surface of the Atlantic. Will could see bright flashes of lightning behind his closed eyelids. He felt salty water hitting his face with numbing force and violently tearing at the cut in his right cheek. It was almost cold enough to stop his heart. He wasn’t sure whether he was alive or dead and he found himself not caring either way. That was, until he felt the body beneath him slowly slipping from his grasp.
