    Summary

    Will Graham was no stranger to various mental ailments, but one day he came home with a headache that he just couldn’t shake off. Sensing an opportunity to influence him further, Hannibal came and volunteered to nurse him back to health. Instead of a pliant patient ripe for manipulation, the good doctor was suddenly faced with an anatomical anomaly of fantastical proportions.

    Will Graham just sprouted wings, and they’re magnificent to behold.

    Summary

    Will Graham grew up believing his mother was dead and his father was all he had—until the day Hannibal Lecter found him, half-starved, stubborn, and still fighting to stand.
    What began as a fragile, unlikely friendship turned into something fierce. Hannibal saw potential. Will saw the first real safety he’d ever known. Together, they faced lawyers, lies, and a father whose love came with strings knotted too tight to untangle.

    The court case should have been the hardest part.
    It wasn’t.

    This is a story about what it means to be chosen—again and again. About slow mornings and sharp banter, gut-wrenching truths and soft, steady love. About the stuffed dog who never left Will’s side, the kitchen where Hannibal finally smiled without armor, and the kind of loyalty that changes everything.

    It’s hurt. It’s comfort. It’s found family.
    And it’s proof that sometimes, the softest place to land is in someone’s arms.

    Summary

    Growing up in a big town, Will has found that he's perfectly content to create his own adventures and to do so all alone, until a boy who doesn't speak wanders into Will's spot in the woods and then just keeps showing up. He has something far too old for his mind in his eyes, and he carries around a notebook for all his sketches. A young Will Graham is intrigued.

    Or: If Will collects strays, Hannibal is his first. Featuring many gratuitous time-skips.

    Summary

    Will has lived a very ordinary life, with the minor exception of his severe iron allergy and general aversion to touch. He in no way believed in the existence of magic or had any concept of secondary genders... until an Unseelie prince recognized him for a changeling and set out to court him.

    Summary

    “I’m sorry,” he says, though he doesn’t feel very sorry. “I think we started this conversation poorly. I don’t get much free time, and I usually spend it under this tree.”

    “I fail to see how this is my problem.”

    Kaveh grits his teeth.

    “I would really appreciate it if you would find a different tree to read under.”

    The stranger looks up. There’s a sharpness in his gaze that almost makes Kaveh want to fidget. This man is clearly mortal. Kaveh can sense the soul in him, surprisingly soft when contrasted with the razor’s blade of his eyes.

    “What’s your name?” the stranger asks. Kaveh, surprised by the question, responds without thinking.

    “Kaveh.”

    “Well, Kaveh,” he says, “I suggest you find a new tree.”

    Kaveh, an immortal god, meets Alhaitham, a perfectly average scholar, and takes it personally.

    Written for Vasileia: A Haikaveh AU Fantasy Zine.
