Summary
Will Graham is a lecturer at Quantico when Jack Crawford first approaches him about the Chesapeake Ripper.
At the same time, Will begins to dream of a vast, unfamiliar house — and the strange presence that lives inside.
As the case unfolds, Will is drawn deeper into both the investigation and the dream. What begins as a subconscious projection soon reveals itself to be something else entirely: a shared mind palace he has unknowingly entered.
Hannibal Lecter is inside. And he does not intend to let Will go.

From Reddit:
it's SO interesting and beautifully written. honestly might be my favorite fanfic ever (not just in hannigram realm). summarizing it won't do it justice, just trust me and read it once you get a chance!!Its not the classic "soul mate" trope but its pretty close. Will finds himself in the Ripper's mind palace whenever he goes to sleep. He attempts to use that connection to find out who the Ripper really is. This fic is so beautifully written and the story really had me in my feelings. I highly recommend!!!!

Summary
AU in which Will receives a secret admirer with a penchant for writing him poetry and slaughtering the innocent in artistic fashions. No one ever told him that courtship was so bloody or appealing -rather, so bloody appealing? He's a part-time bartender that can't catch a break, but at least he has one loyal customer who doesn't seem to mind bouncing from restaurant to bar to restaurant in order to have his favorite drink made by his favorite person.
There couldn't be a correlation though; Dr. Lecter is an upstanding psychiatrist that just likes his drinks served a certain way, and the Chesapeake Ripper keeps sending love letters in the hopes of one day eating him. One is, quite frankly, flattering, the other...
Will isn't stupid enough to tell anyone that it's also equally flattering, albeit horrifying at the same time. It's up for interpretation.
Right?

Graham thinks romance is as simple as working a crime scene. Brian decides to call his bluff. It…doesn’t go as planned.

Summary
As requested by LadyJadeRains! What would have happened if Will's encephalitis was a little worse, and the psychic driving had been a little more effective, such that Will genuinely believed that he had committed the Copycat Killings and also murdered Abigail Hobbs?
Will Graham is impulsive, depressed, and anxious. He has developed acquired synesthesia which amplifies his empathy disorder to an unbearable degree. He believes, wholly, that he is responsible for the deaths of at least 6 people.
Matthew Brown attempts to woo him by offering stability, support, and the illusion of control.
Hannibal Lecter attempts to woo him by offering challenge, chaos, and the illusion of safety.
In a way, Will loves them both. After all, we accept the love we think we deserve.
But as Will continues to recover, the question is this: how long until the illusion shatters, and Will realizes that what he actually deserves is better?

Summary
Hannibal AU where Will and Hannibal meet for the first time on a transatlantic flight, and things get deep and sexy. As Will Graham tries to solve a horrific murder in London, his relationship with Hannibal Lecter becomes more and more complicated, and things become darker and more twisted.
All politicians are completely made up. In real life, always use condoms, folks, and try not to piss off serial killers.

Bookmarker's Notes
Spoilers: This is the one where Hannibal is a piece of shit who takes will to a sex dungeon in order to help him find a killer, and lies to him, drugs him and gags him as part of this. Otherwise it probably would have been okay. But after being beaten bloody with a cane, sliced up, and then fucked in front of an audience when he had only had sex with men at all for the first time in the past week, Will was not interested in Hannibal anymore.
... For a while.
It's incredibly believable, the push and pull is immersive and in character.
Their love is tender even if it is fucked up too.
10 out of 10
