“Danny, what did Alice say?”
I think this scene is such an important insight into who Louis is. He can be an active antagonist and stir things up when he wants to. He asks Daniel about the rejected proposal because he KNOWS that it hurts. And importantly, this
WAIT.
Is Lestat’s French accent stronger than usual in this scene because Louis likes to remember him as he was in the early days? The period when Lestat was fresh off the boat and sounded very French. The period when things were good and they were the happiest 🥺
#iwtvspoilers
“Let treachery eat away at them from within.”
Treachery. Lestat knew.
He knew he was going to be betrayed by those he loved. He knew Claudia & Louis would find a way to kill him. So he wrote Louis a letter, and meant every word in it. He wanted Louis to forgive +

‼️‼️
“I’m merely waiting until youre happy.”
This line was so impactful! It’s very clear that this isn’t real Lestat, it’s what Louis’ subconscious imagines him to be. It’s what Louis thinks he deserves.
Because the thing is, Louis and Claudia killed Lestat when
You know what I love? The recurring notion that it’s LOUIS that people should be afraid of.
Louis is the main character. He is THE vampire. And it’s fitting that he is the key to everything, the main catalyst, the main agitator, the heart and soul of the entire story.
He’s not+
#iwtvspoilers
“He said, I won’t harm you.”
“And I never have.”
Notice how Armand’s claim doesn’t make Louis react in any way? It seems that he fully believes that Armand has never hurt him. Is it all a performance, or does Louis really not remember what happened in Paris?
Will: exists
Hannibal: Will, my beloved, the man of my dreams, darling, my soulmate, the man who owns my heart, dearest Will, my love, my cherished husband, my other half-
This pic is just sublime. I don’t know what’s the hottest part. Her sitting on his lap? Him grabbing her wrist? His smoky eye makeup and sweaty hair? The way she’s holding the cigarette to his lips?
Me and who? 🫦
AU where instead of framing Will, Hannibal decides to blind him with romance the way he did with Alana. Will is touch starved and desperate for someone to love and care for him, so it works easily. Hannibal is all self-congratulatory thinking he’s got the FBI’s brightest agent +
Hannibal and Will’s session unexpectedly turns into making out and exchanging passionate hand jobs. As they get dressed afterwards, Will makes a half joking comment: “Do you do this with all of your patients?” Hannibal is quite surprised with himself for getting so intimately
happens in Dubai, in the “here and now” as opposed to a subjective retelling of the past events. That’s how we know this is a very real side of Louis that shouldn’t be ignored. It’s a warning, to Daniel and the audience, that you shouldn’t mess with THE vampire. There is more to
#iwtvspoilers
“now i know”…… Claudia please you lived with Louis for decades, surely youve already come across him wanting to beat his meat while thinking about Lestat 😂
him than just the melancholic, reticent man we see a lot. There’s decades of rage and pain brewing underneath, fuelled by all kinds denial and repression, and i can’t wait to see it all uncovered!
It was such an incredible honour to meet Sam last night! I never thought I’d get a chance to see him in person, let alone have a chat and take pictures, so I’m eternally grateful 🥰
Imagine Will with a jealousy kink. As in, he gets off on Hannibal acting possessive towards him.
Hannibal dresses Will up in expensive suits and shows him off at high society events. And whenever anyone touches Will or looks at Will for a little too long, Hannibal kills them. +
Will finding comfort in weighted items so he starts using Hannibal as a weighted blanket. Hannibal is bigger so he covers Will’s entire body with his own, pleasantly crushing Will against the mattress. Will sleeps like a baby, and never has nightmares again. 🥺
You know how Lestat takes off his wig halfway through the Mardi Gras proceedings? It feels like a very deliberate choice on the costume designers’ part.
Lestat is becoming vulnerable. He’s taking off his armour and pretence, laying himself bare in front of Louis. In contrast, +
When Will comes in for his appointment after a particularly demanding week at work, he ends up falling into Hannibal’s arms as soon as Hannibal opens the door. It’s not like he planned for it to happen, it just did. His body so exhausted and starved of human contact that it acted
just some weak and passive vampire that things happen to. No, he has power and agency, and even when he’s the victim of his own unreliable memories, it all still comes down to him — his motivations, his choices, his actions, and most importantly, his desire to get to the truth.
himself for the betrayal and move on. Lestat knew that he deserved what they did to him, that’s why he couldn’t hold it against them. He couldn’t say any of this to Louis while they were in NOLA (but by god he tried, in the balcony scene of S1E7!!), that’s why he wrote this:
Let’s be real, there is no way Hannibal bringing breakfast to Will’s motel room after meeting him ONCE wasn’t a come on. A straight man wouldn’t do this
wrapped around his finger, but the truth is that Will had clocked him as the Ripper WEEKS ago. But because Hannibal treats him like a human instead of an empath freak, Will decides not to turn him in. When Hannibal learns this his heart swells and they run off together. The end❤️
One thing that I admire more than the two extremes of Will’s character — the extremely vulnerable and the ruthlessly savage — is Hugh Dancy’s ability to play them both so convincingly. He’s an amazing actor with so much range!
You know how Lestat’s catch phrase has always been “Anything for you, Louis”?
He lets Louis kill him because it’s what Louis wants.
Anything for Louis
😭😭😭😭
Hannibal has a second rolodex fully reserved for people that commit the Most Unforgivable Offence™️, which is physical contact with Will. Will belongs to Hannibal, and touching the property of others without permission is Unforgivable.
Hannibal is reasonable so he’ll excuse
Okay but consider bottom Hannibal. Not SUB Hannibal, just bottom Hannibal. Taking charge in the bedroom, manhandling Will onto the bed and sitting on Will’s cock, chasing his own pleasure. 👁👄👁
After the fall Will agrees to be Hannibal’s dress up doll. He lets Hannibal decide his haircut, how he grooms his beard, etc. Hannibal gets to buy Will a whole new wardrobe and pick out Will’s outfits for all of their outings. It doesn’t stop there. Hannibal chooses Will’s shower
he was happy. Things weren’t perfect but there’s nowhere else Lestat would’ve rather been. He had grand plans for Louis, Claudia and himself to leave NOLA and live together as a family. Lestat was happy. And they killed him.
So naturally, Louis thinks (wants!!) Lestat to do the
It’s widely accepted that Will and Hannibal are perfectly in sync when killing.
What if it was the complete opposite though?
Hannibal: pass me the knife please
Will: uh... I thought you had it?
Hannibal: you used it last, didn’t you
Will: maybe? I dunno
in the meantime -
Will relaxing in a bath after a satisfying kill, the water stained red from all the blood on him. Violence and brutality come easy to him now, but a good hunt still always leaves him tired. Hannibal, however, seems to be full of vigour. Hovering around Will like a devoted acolyte
Hannigram but as college frat boys:
Will is introverted but not to the same extent as in the show. He lets his high school bestie drag him to frat parties and gets ridiculously drunk. It gets him girls and guys because despite being a weird loner he’s really fucking cute. +
// nsfw
On their first night together, Will feels anxious. He knows he’s nothing special. He’s awkward, not overly experienced in bed, and his dick is average at best. Naturally, when he undresses in front of Hannibal, his cheeks flush and he’s overwhelmed by a compulsion to
Hannibal pounding into Will from behind, gripping Will’s chin and forcing him to stare at a bloody corpse of some person that dared to flirt with Will. Hannibal growling into Will’s ear “Look at what you’ve done. This is all on you. Nobody would’ve died if you’d just kept your +

same to him as payback - to kill him when he’s happy. Not because he sees Lestat as a sadist that would take pleasure in it, but because he feels guilty and thinks he deserves it. 🥲
🐺 Kinktober day 19 - Hunter/prey 🐺
Every time Will and Hannibal spend a weekend in Wolf Trap, they play a game. On a mutually-agreed upon signal, Will flees from the house into the woods. Exactly 30 seconds later, Hannibal follows. After that, the premise of the game is very
Modern day Lestat would have an instagram account where he posts thirst traps every day. The handle would be thevampirelestat and the bio would make mentions of blood or biting but everyone would just think he’s being edgy
If i wrote a fic where Will is a subby top and Hannibal is a dom bottom (manhandling Will onto the bed and riding him for hours) would anyone be interested in reading? 🥺👉🏻👈🏻
// nsfw
I just think that Hannibal can be a bottom while domming the shit out of Will. Sitting on Will’s cock while pinning Will’s wrists to the mattress, saying “Nuh-uh” when Will tries to rock his hips. They’ll move at Hannibal’s pace, or not at all. And of course Will isn’t
Season 1 AU where Hannibal still talks about Will in therapy sessions with Bedelia, but it’s more like “I’m so in love with Will. I’ve never loved anyone like this before 😭” accompanied by snotty crying. Good thing Bedelia has a good wine in supply to help her get through this.
Louis de Pointe du Lac goes from “I ain’t touching no man’s dick” to levitating while taking it up the ass in the course of one episode. This is what we call ✨character development✨
Armand’s sole job at that trial was to keep Lestat in line. The coven needed their collective minds to keep Claudia, Louis and Madeleine subdued so it makes sense that Armand, the strongest of them all, would be solely focused on Lestat
👄🩸 Kinktober day 17 - Biting kink & Vampires 👄🩸
Much like other vampires, Hannibal is a predator. But unlike other vampires, he isn’t wasteful. He doesn’t run around biting humans and leaving bodies behind. No, his approach is more sustainable. Blood is a renewable resource,
I find it amusing that although Hannibal is manipulative and moonlights as a serial killer, he’s one of the most honest characters on the show. Everyone else is just interpreting his words the way they want to interpret them, instead of realising what he actually means
Example:
📼🎥 Kinktober day 25 - Filming 📼🎥
After Alana rolls away in her wheelchair, Will rises from his sitting position on the floor of Hannibal’s old kitchen, metres from the spot where he was gutted. The house is not the same now that Hannibal has fled and the FBI have ransacked
🔫 Kinktober day 10 - Gun play 🔫
Hannibal can smell the man before he even sees him. He turns slowly, finding Will only a few metres from him, gun pointed at his head. “The same unfortunate aftershave. Too long in the bottle.”
Will stays silent, a scowl on his face. For a

Will loves being held by, or being completely covered by, Hannibal. When they sleep Hannibal lies on top of Will, arms and legs wrapped around Will’s body. For someone who’s been so touch starved, it’s Will’s favourite position; being pressed into the mattress and feeling skin on
Hannibal approaching Will with dark heat in his eyes, snarling like a hungry predator. Roughly and lustfully pinning Will against the wall and grinding his hips against Will’s. Shoving a knee between Will’s legs. Keeping at it until he can smell Will’s arousal. Then simply +
cw: dubcon (Will is super into it though)
😵💫Kinktober day 2 - Hypnosis 😵💫
“I’ve been feeling incredibly dehydrated lately,” Will tells Hannibal at the start of their session. “I don’t know if it’s related to the loss of time and the nightmares…”
“It could be. You are
No one, absolutely no one:

🎭 Kinktober day 18 - Mask 🎭
Being on the run from the FBI isn’t easy when one loves attending big events, so when Florence Grand Ball is announced, Hannibal immediately obtains an invitation for himself and Bedelia. The theme is ‘Masquerade’, which couldn’t be more perfect. No
ALSOOOOO when i went up to him i was like “Hi Sam, I’m Maria” and he was like “I’m Sam” like….
my darling angel I know what your name is, im here JUST FOR YOU, but it’s so sweet that he introduced himself anyway. So adorable. So polite.
Hannibal Lecter is the kind of guy that would walk other people to their cars to make sure they get home safe at night.
Hannibal Lecter is also the kind of guy that is the very reason some people don’t get home safe at night.
🥵 Kinktober day 28 - Breathplay 🥵
Will loves when Hannibal does it with his hands. He loves it when those big, strong, veiny hands are wrapped around his throat. The tighter the better. Hannibal doesn’t treat him to this every time they fuck, but when he does, it’s 𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘴.
😴💤 Kinktober day 12 - Somnophilia 😴💤
“Are you really going to keep me awake for over 36 hours?” Will asks with a yawn.
“Give or take. It all depends on how long it will take for you to achieve the right state,” Hannibal informs him. Will has gone 32 hours without any sleep
Vampire couple Hannibal and Will doing human/vampire role play. Will pretends to be human and Hannibal finds him, holds him down and drinks his blood. Will fights him at first but then the venom in Hannibal’s fangs turns him pliant and aroused. Hannibal bites his neck more as he
SERIAL KILLER AU HANNIGRAM 🎯
What if Will had chosen to become a contract killer instead of going to work at the FBI?
And what if Hannibal was a lonely cannibal who likes the company of pretty men and is unapologetic about it?
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
An AU where Will has a special gift. And that is: right after he sleeps with someone, that person can’t lie to him. So of course the FBI hires Will to sleep with their suspects to ascertain if they’re guilty. One such man is Hannibal, suspected of being the Chesapeake Ripper +
Because Will is his, and his only.
Will knows and he plays along, picking out victims and flirting with them. If they reciprocate, it automatically makes them Hannibal’s target.
#iwtvspoilers
I find it impossible to believe that Lestat stood there doing nothing while Claudia perished. Louis wasn’t there - this is all from Armand’s perspective. I bet Lestat fought with every ounce of his being to save her (like he did in s2ep3 when Nicki was kidnapped)
🛁 Kinktober day 20 - bath & orgasm delay & cock rings 🛁
The first thing that catches Will’s eye when he steps into Hannibal’s ensuite bathroom is the huge and luxurious bathtub with wide edges and built-in jets. The second is the lighting, consisting of numerous small lights
🎀 Kinktober day 26 - Corset 🎀
Tonight at the opera, Will is capturing everyone’s attention. The idea for the outfit was initially Will’s, but Hannibal’s connections to the best tailors in the state made it possible. On top of the classic blue button-up shirt, Will is wearing a
// dub-con i guess?
After the fall Will’s mental health takes a plunge. He’s hallucinating, losing time and generally losing his mind too. The fastest and most reliable way to bring him back to himself is for Hannibal to fuck him. Hard and rough. Until there’s no room in Will’s
Will and Hannibal end up sleeping together that morning in Minnesota when Hannibal brings breakfast to Will’s motel room. After everything goes down with Hobbs, neither hits up the other - it’s simply not the right time. Hannibal continues being Will’s psychiatrist because it’s
We all know that Will’s glasses are a decoy but consider a scenario where his vision is super blurry without them. Hannibal removes the glasses and leads Will to the bedroom by the hand, because Will completely trusting him and blindly following him feels so intimate to them both
