Summary
"Make a promise," he suggests, and shifts a little, leans over Galahad from his waist, turning his body to settle his palms on either side of him. "Keep it. Then not everything is broken promises."
There is never just one lifetime, not for people who are meant to meet. In Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter's case, they shared five. Four which they could not share fully, and one which they did. This is their first.

Summary
The swords master had chastised them for flashiness at times, for bravo and showing off in ways that were dangerous, but Han refused to stop having fun in his spars. The moment it became work, it became too much, their lives. The school was a good place, a merry place, but perched on the edge of mania almost. They were men who lived training in hopes they would not die in the place of another man.
In theory it implied virtue. As Han threw open the tent flap and pulled his gloves from his hands, he supposed it must not matter too much which of the duelists was a sinner or saint. In the end, if the most virtuous swordsman was picked to back the blackest of heart, the gods would see him die.

Summary
“If you were to tie me, I’d prefer silk.” He says finally, setting the offer in case Hannibal wishes to take it up, “If you were to hurt me, I’d prefer you leave no permanent marks.” He lets his eyes settle on Hannibal’s, wants to push to see if he can get that dark desire evident in Hannibal’s tone and carefully controlled expressions to flood and take over, but he will do the man the honor of not being vulgar.
Sex tourism has become popular now, and Will is the best at what he does in his city.

Summary
Here, instead it was life. He eats what he has killed, until his nose is deep in the hollow he's made in the man's belly and his own is filled with what he has taken - it's a strange balance. The balance that all life has - taking, receiving. He will not be driven from here, he thinks, as he licks vital, living blood off his muzzle. Here was his, and what did not heed his marks, what did not learn - he would eat.
He would eat well.
Men are relentless until they learn to be hopeless.
A beast terrorizes the province of Gevaudan. And a strange hunter arrives from the north bearing wolf pelts and secrets.

Summary
"I don't think he has no plan, I think he's just..." Hannibal makes a faintly frustrated noise. "He's going somewhere with it. Someplace I can't quite follow yet."
The smile Will offers is gentle, a placating thing. His partner is weary, he’s allowing the guilt for not saving so many to eat away at him. It’s been more work for Will to keep him above water than to cover up. One pastime merged into another so quickly and effortlessly he forgot when it happened.
A serial killer plagues Boston, with no real motive, no connection between the victims, and no one interested except Detective Hannibal Lecter and his partner, who is more intimately involved with the case than Hannibal realizes.

Summary
"And you?" he asks, because ultimately their discussions aren't about the cases - Hannibal was largely uninvolved in them, save his tertiary contact with Will. "Have you come to believe you deserve punishment?"
"I think every killer deserves punishment," Will replies, and there's no hesitation, but when he looks up his gaze isn't as stable and he doesn't hold it long. Perhaps that's the reason he relates to this killer so keenly, because the punishment is deserved, it's anticipated and almost goaded, but it is also feared. This is not a man who wants to die, but who knows he should.
Will Graham encounters a killer he can't shake, finding the freedom and abandon with which the kills were committed both grotesque and enviable. Hannibal offers a solution.
