    Summary

    As requested by LadyJadeRains! What would have happened if Will's encephalitis was a little worse, and the psychic driving had been a little more effective, such that Will genuinely believed that he had committed the Copycat Killings and also murdered Abigail Hobbs?

    Will Graham is impulsive, depressed, and anxious. He has developed acquired synesthesia which amplifies his empathy disorder to an unbearable degree. He believes, wholly, that he is responsible for the deaths of at least 6 people.

    Matthew Brown attempts to woo him by offering stability, support, and the illusion of control.

    Hannibal Lecter attempts to woo him by offering challenge, chaos, and the illusion of safety.

    In a way, Will loves them both. After all, we accept the love we think we deserve.

    But as Will continues to recover, the question is this: how long until the illusion shatters, and Will realizes that what he actually deserves is better?

    Summary

    "Sometimes Mel thinks all her little problems actually matter.

    She cries on the bus after long shifts, straddling the line between trying to stop and trying to get it out so that she doesn’t ruin Becca’s night. She watches her coworkers pair up happily, full of inside jokes, and knows there’s no one waiting to catch up with her. And she gets up on bridges to see if she’ll actually do something about any of it."

    OR

    Six months into working in the Pitt, Mel is reaching her breaking point. She doesn't expect Frank to be the one who finds her when she finally cracks.

    Summary

Will loved what Hannibal cooked for them, but sometimes he just wanted to grab a bag of chips and sit on the couch.
