author’s note on fanfic ch5: so i know it’s been two years but i can explain
The weather outside is shit so hey why not start sharing my Christmas ABO?
__________
They meet by chance.
Hannibal does not normally attend events outside of his own social circle but on in invite from his colleague Dr. Bloom he goes to a Christmas party given by one Beverly Katz.
When he walks into Ms. Katz’s home he turns his nose up at the outdoor lights and by the time he passes the rest of the hideous Christmas decor to the beverages Hannibal is ready to leave.
Then he smells the most intoxicating scent to ever grace his nostrils in all his life. He turns and a deep growl of intent escapes his mouth without conscious thought.
“Hannibal you’re here!”
Alana’s interference makes him growl and all his alpha instincts ride up at her scent near that of the omega who is making him weak.
“Hannibal?”
He takes a deep breath and tries to calm. “I apologize, I am slightly disoriented. You did not tell me there would be any unattached omegas here.”
Alana blinks. “Omegas? There aren’t.”
Hannibal scoffs. “I can smell him, Alana. There is no need to—“
There is a crash and they both look towards the origin. A man is bent down picking up the pieces of a broken dish alongside a woman he does not recognize.
The sight of him makes his knot half full and Hannibal lets out a long breath. “Who is he?”
“Will Graham? I’ve told you about him. He’s the consultant Jack uses. The beta who—“
Hannibal hardly hears the rest and crosses the room with only one thought:
Mine.
Will looks up as he draws near and moves back defensively.
“Hello, can I be of service?”
The woman beside him smiles. “In the suit I’m sure you could be of service to anyone you wanted.”
Will blushes a lovely pink and Hannibal bends down to retrieve the last piece of bowl.
“Are you Lecter? Alana said she was inviting her shrink friend.”
He straightens, hands over the piece, and never looks away from Will. “Yes that would be me.”
The woman takes his hand and they shake.
“Beverly Katz,” she says, “and the quiet one is Will Graham.”
Hannibal holds out his hand which is an odd gesture he’s sure to the omega who must know by scent his interest.
Will takes his offered hand and they both shiver on contact.
“Dr. Hannibal Lecter,” he says, “I’ve heard so much about you.”
Will’s throat bobs as he teases , “I can’t say the same.”
Oh he likes this.
“Then I will have to tell you about myself in great detail.”
Beverly laughs. “Please do. Drink, Doc?”
“White wine, please.”
She walks off and Hannibal slightly squeezes their still joined hands.
“A thoroughbred omega amongst all of these lessers, I never thought I’d see the day.”
Will lets out a long breath.
“I’m not a thoroughbred. I’m just—“
He inhales and steps closer despite the impropriety. “A diamond in the rough.”
Will stares at his mouth and then looks away. “I’m not one, I promise you. They don’t know here about me being…not what it says in my file. Please don’t give me away.”
He steps back as Ms. Katz returns with the worst wine he’s ever tasted. Hannibal expertly swallows and sets down the glass to be abandoned later while small talk is thrown back and forth between them. Will is nervous but instinctively leans more towards Hannibal for comfort, though he doesn’t seem to notice.
By the end of the evening he learns much about everyone but Will Graham, who seems to have perfected evasion even more so than Hannibal himself. The expert way he directs questions about himself onto others is quite interesting as is the strange allure he casts over the room without knowledge. Every person in the room wants to please him as is their biological imperative but they have no idea why.
Aries; please don’t think that you’re not wanted, or loved. People need you, we need your fire and ambition; you light up the room and make everyone forget their worries.
Taurus; you will find someone to love as much as you love them, do not fret over romance. It will come to you in good time, you are like mother nature itself; beautiful but dangerous.
Gemini; do not regret the things you could have or have done, live for the present. You are a fresh breeze of renewal, just because you messed up in the past does not mean you can’t change the future. All will be forgotten and forgiven soon.
Cancer; don’t sit back and let things happen, you were born a revolutionary; a true leader! People respect you, you see something you hate – do something about it. Everyone will follow, don’t doubt your abilities.
Leo; you don’t always need to be a leader, it’s fine to be an introvert! You don’t always need to be the “popular one”, if you don’t feel like going out, then don’t. Do not feel pressured by expectations, everyone loves you.
Virgo; stop worrying! Everything doesn’t need to make sense or be immaculate, things will fall into place because everything happens for a reason. You’re great with everyone, you don’t need to be perfect.
Libra; it is natural to be insecure, do not hide it! you are beautiful when you share your insecurities, no one will judge you. It’s hard to put a happy face all the time, just be you.
Scorpio; DO NOT THINK YOURE NOT GOOD ENOUGH! You are perfect, and need to come to terms with yourself. You cannot love someone else before you love yourself. You are beautiful.
Sagittarius; you are not alone! It’s okay to be scared of loneliness, being alone can help sometimes but you have people who adore you and will help you get through anything! Just open up a little.
Capricorn; material things can’t give you pure happiness, you don’t need loads of friends to be happy. Love the precious gifts that are free, you give people a sense of comfort. Live for that.
Aquarius; you do not need to be flawless! Everyone has negative traits, and that’s normal. You don’t have to be the perfect son/daughter it’s fine to let loose and be something else. You can do whatever you want.
Pisces; do not be scared of what you say! you tread so carefully around the way you act, worrying that you might do/say something wrong. Be loud or obnoxious or even harsh, do not fret over what people think of you. Your pure innocence over laps any negative traits you own.
please love yourself, you are not worthless in any way. I hope you enjoyed this post❤️
Lonely pediatrician An meets single dad Nate, a construction foreman new to the island of Oahu whose wife left him three months ago with their baby.
The first time An met his new neighbor, it was raining and he had forgotten his umbrella. The sunset had just begun to paint the sky in bright pink and purple strokes half an hour before, and An was so busy getting ready to pick Dai up he didn’t notice a mass of clouds overtaking the colors in the sky, turning everything into a somber gray. By the time he stepped out of the elevator, rain pounded outside on the pavement.
He rounded the corner to the right to check his mail and stall for time. Maybe the rain would let up by the time he came back out; An hated the slow elevator ride up the 23 stories to his apartment. He didn’t want to go back up just for an umbrella. He really should make a habit to bring one down regardless of how clear the skies looked from the apartment window. This was Hawaii, after all; the weather was apt to change at a moment’s notice.
A man stood by An’s mail cubicle, one hand attempting to shove his key into the lock of the box three units away from An’s, one holding onto the handle of an infant car seat. He wore faded blue jeans that clung to muscled legs and a high-visibility t-shirt with DARWIN D KEIS MECHANICAL CONSTRUCTION CO emblazoned on the back. The shoulders framed by the neon yellow shirt were broad and as well-muscled as his legs, and his brown hair, worn in a pony tail at the center of his neck, was wavy. It looked soft enough to touch.
