Summary
"I'm told we owe you some gratitude, Mr. Graham," Hannibal says, without any introduction. He doesn't suppose he needs much of one, though he wants to see how the man will bite in response to his effective block in the usual round of introductions. He held the door indicatively, suggesting by implication they should walk together. When they are alone, he might shoot the fed, or he might feed him. He hasn't decided quite yet the value of either notion.
This started as a request prompt fill for the lovely cannibalismforbeginners on Tumblr, and grew - as prompts do between cognomen and I - into a monster. A mobster AU fic where Hannibal runs the biggest human trafficking ring in America, and Will is the new FBI agent sent to bring him down with a rico case. Hannibal knows who he is but plays along nonetheless, because he, in turn, wants something from Will.
[we based this in Philadelphia in 1937. For a tentative timeline, chapter 1 takes place late November of 1936]

Summary
They tell Will Graham why he is there - that they know he's a fed, that they had seen where he was trying to do and what harm he intended - when they chain him to the heavy marble slab table. They leave him nothing, stripping him even of his glasses, and leave him defenseless at the back of the mazelike bath house, to learn his lesson on what it was to be an asset, rather than a hindrance.
This is the second part to the series Nice Work If You Can Get It. It would make a lot more sense if you have read that one first, however, if you just want some collar!kink, some deliciously submissive Will, rope bondage and manipulation on both sides then... you read right on ahead.

Summary
"At times I would like you to be home - here," Hannibal says, correcting himself out of a term that was too familiar. "But forcing you to be will not resolve the issue."
It is perhaps the closest Hannibal has come to fully admitting how much he relies on Will, even still. He does not need Will to listen to his issues, to balance his books or shoot his enemies, but he needs him. It is that that sinks beneath his skin and leaves him tensest at moments like these, drawn bowstring tight.
At the very precipice of WWII, choices and chances lead to some things you can't step away from so easily.
The last set of the Nice Work If You Can Get It series. It helps of you've read the others, but you can just easily read without them. You will miss a lot of the references, though, and not recognize the characters that show up later, but the smut is just as delicious, and there is quite enough of it.
