Don’t get lost in the woods. If you do, watch out for the sunset. That’s when They feed. More fairytale AU, this time with night king Hannibal in stag form.
If there was one thing Will knew about Hannibal Lecter was that he didn’t do anything by halves.
Their life after the fall was mostly a sedate one, calm and secluded from civilization while the hunt died down. Will rediscovered a love of books that Hannibal encouraged which made for lively discussion at the dinner table.
Books really were the only thing that they safely discussed for that first year while he saw Hannibal fight to hold in other urges.
They didn’t talk about them.
Will almost clammed up when it seemed like the perfect time and he saw Hannibal’s disappointment but there was never deliberate coaxing or forceful intrusion into thoughts he didn’t freely give.
Hannibal couldn’t shower Will with the attention he wanted so Will let him do it in other ways: cooking, books, and clothes. They enjoyed their time together as banal it seemed.
Then one morning Will woke to find a dog in his bed.
Her collar said Encephalitis but he ended up calling her Cephie.
Cephie was another way to be close without going too far and Will found himself basking in their shared love of her. He even went so far as to curl up on the couch beside Hannibal while they read with Cephie in between.
Their friendly strained looks became more open and three hundred and thirty seven days into their new life Will thought perhaps he was ready for that talk.
Accepting the forbidden fruit the talking snake was offering her, Eve was banished from the Garden of Eden with her male counterpart; they were also granted the knowledge of good and evil, previously reserved to God.
Yes, it has happened. Ms. Markle has married Prince Harry and it is a win for all. Or some shit like that. Fairytales don’t come true. Fantasy is the closest thing you will get to it.
In fantasy, Royal Weddings are not made for love. They are made for:
1. Alliances
Families marry their children to their allies or enemies to form an alliance. Marriages can be seen as a business merger, two companies coming together as one.
2. Acquisitions
Some marriages are made to gain something. Some spouses marry to gain money or lands or power.
3. Dynastic Reasons
Royal families or noble families sometimes marry certain spouses to continue bloodlines or to pass on a certain gene, let’s say a magic power or to pass on a right, like right to the throne.
4. Love
Yes, it does happen. Some marriages can be for love. Peasants even royalty will risk all for love. See the cases of Wallis Simpson and Elizabeth Woodville for ideas. Perhaps fairytales can come true.
Behold! By the crimson bands of Cyttorak, we promise you this – your mortal eyes have never seen such mystic enchantment as awaits you next issue! Till then, may the Vishanti speak your name softly!
