Summary
This letter feels different from the others, less a message, more a touch. He wonders when Hannibal first set pen to paper, what hour of the night, what thought carried him from one phrase to the next. He can almost see it in his mind: Hannibal’s hand holding the pen as it drags effortlessly across the page.
He thinks about their phone call again — ‘it matters to me’ — and shivers. The hook Hannibal lodged in his heart years before tugs again as it buries itself deeper in his chest. The temptation to see him grows and swells until it slowly becomes need. Will wants to look into his eyes again, he wants to see the shape of his mouth as it dissects him from across a room. He wants to experience it one last time, then perhaps he can close the door on all of this forever.
The slam of the cabin door jolts him out of it. He shoves the letter into his pocket, blinking back into the present. Outside, Molly is already heading for her car.
“We’re out of milk,” she calls, deliberately not looking at him as he approaches.
~
OR: A series of letters from Hannibal unravels the ordinary life Will has tried to build, pulling him back into the gravity of their devotion to each other.

Summary
A Season 2 AU in which Will Graham did not, at any point, accuse Hannibal of being the Chesapeake Ripper.
Will Graham is the smartest person most people will ever have the misfortune to meet. Hannibal Lecter has been no exception; he's brilliant, but his failing is that he assumes he's the mastermind in every situation. He still thinks Will didn't pick up on every weird joke, every coincidence, every threat disguised as a charming quip, every flashing neon sign that screams "Hannibal Lecter is the Chesapeake Ripper!"
Now, Will has to decide what he wants from Hannibal. For the first time in his life, it seems like there's a possibility that somebody might be close enough to his level for a real connection. Hannibal is an apex predator in a garish suit, blind to Will's superior camouflage, and the Ripper's obsession with Agent Graham is so obvious it's drawing attention from... undesirable sources. If Will can manipulate everything to his desired outcome, Hannibal could become the equal Will has always wanted.
If he wants to protect their fragile peace, it'll take a lot more than just Hannibal Lecter.
That's fine. After all, Will has never been able to stop himself at just one stray.

Summary
Hannibal didn’t do it for leverage. That’s the unsettling part. He took time out of his day, out of whatever immaculate, ordered life he leads, to come here. To step into Will’s house. To feed his dogs. To exist, briefly, inside the most private perimeter Will has. A simple thank you feels thin.

Summary
Will lowers the letter, stares at it in his lap. The fire has left his skin hot, his chest hollowed out. He feels as though the words themselves have burned into him, left him see-through, paper-thin, light bleeding through. Dear Will, I think of you often.
- or -
Will is living through the motions of his polite life, until he reads a letter from Hannibal, and sends one back.
