Hannigram AU: The Author Whose Character Comes to Life & Won’t Leave Him Alone
Will Graham is stuck. He wrote a book that skyrocketed to number one on the bestsellers list and now people are screaming at him for more of his title character Hannibal Lecter. The thing is Will doesn’t want to give Hannibal away, he’s written two more books already and working on a third but the character is too important to him. When he wakes up one morning with a handsome well dressed man staring down over his bed reading Red Dragon he screams.
Hannibal Lecter wakes up in a strange room next to a sleeping man and doesn’t even bat an eye. He searches the room for clues, finding what is apparently his life written into a novel. The book jacket reveals the sleeping man is his creator, Will Graham. He stares at his apparent God and waits to meet the man who loved him enough to bring him life.
“Good morning, Will.”
Will scrambled back on his bed, eyes wide as he yelled, “WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?”
Hannibal smiled, holding out his hand.
“I believe we know each other very well. I am Hannibal Lecter.”
Will bursts out laughing. “Yeah, sure, you’re Hannibal. Like I’d really…”
“Ask me anything.”
Will stared, his breath coming out in gasps as he asked, “Who was the first person Hannibal killed?”
Hannibal’s smile faded. “My sister Mischa’s killer.”
Will’s eyes widened.
No one knew about Mischa. Not even her name.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before letting it out in a rush. When he opened his eyes again he cursed.
“Great, I’m hallucinating. I must be going nuts, seeing fictional characters who aren’t real in my room,” Will muttered, still staring at Hannibal.
Hannibal smiled, leaning in close enough that he and Will’s lips could touch if he moved. He put a hand on Will’s face and whispered, “Do I feel unreal?”
Will shivered. “No. But I have a very vivid imagination.”
Hannibal smiled, leaning in and kissing Will softly, the other man gasping into his mouth. When he pulled back he asked, “Now?”
Will licked his lips and said, “I’ve imagined that too.”
Hannibal made a noise of approval and whispered, “Stop me when you start believing in me,” taking Will into his arms again.
Not that anyone cares but I wrote more
I care, thanks!
