Hannigram AU: The Beast From The Sea
The beast hunts. It is alone so it hunts alone, snatching fish and other sea creatures from the water to feed on their blood. He does not remember who he once was, nor does he remember being anything but a monster. Until he sees the man for the first time.
The man swims in his part of the sea, swims everyday for a week before he leaves and the beast is bereft of his absence.
So he follows.
Hannibal Lecter goes on vacation alone, this year a small private cabin owned by one of his colleagues who insists on it. The cabin has a wonderful private beach that he frequents day and evening, feeling like the sea is happy he is there and when he leaves he is almost sad to leave.
When he decides to go swimming in his indoor swimming pool at home the next morning he is surprised to see he is not alone. His companion looks like a man but has pointed teeth, speaks naught but hisses and grunts, but Hannibal knows he has nothing to fear from this beautiful monster.
He sat on the edge of the pool, watching the monster as it moves in the water, lifting its head and staring as if expecting an attack.
“My name is Hannibal and I have no desire to hurt you.”
The monster stopped swimming, lifting his head out of the water and peering at him in surprise. “No?”
Hannibal smiled. “No. Do you have a name?”
It frowned. “No?”
Hannibal sighed, “Well, I think I will call you Poseidon after the god of the sea.”
The monster hissed, swimming over and growling in Hannibal’s face as it said loudly, “NO!”
Hannibal glared at it, feeling warm breath on his bare legs as the creature loomed over him. “Then what am I to call you? NO?”
The beast frowned, his lip twitching as it mumbled, “No, no. Will. WILL!”
Hannibal smiled, reaching out to touch only to have Will swim out of reach. “NO!”
Hannibal frowned. “I will not hurt you, Will. I promise you that.”
Will looked so scared, his lip trembling as he hissed, “No you. No touch. Bad!”
Hannibal held out his hand and Will slowly came closer, looking ready to bolt again as he reached out to touch. Hannibal turned his arm over and saw a tattoo on the inside of his arm.
Forever
That was all. What kind of sea monster had a tattoo?
He hissed when Will scratched him, frowning as Will swam as far away as he possibly could. “I’m sorry. It will not happen again.”
“No, no, no,” Will kept saying, his eyes full of fear.
Hannibal left him there that night swimming in the pool, pulling out his tablet and searching the keywords: missing man, Will, tattoo Forever. What came up surprised and angered him.
Will Graham had been missing for nearly three years. He’d gone on vacation with his lover who said he’d disappeared swimming one evening while the man in question had been out. He had searched and searched, this Matthew Brown claimed.
Hannibal knew every line was false just as he knew that monster in his pool once used to be a smiling man who cared for dogs and picked the wrong man for a lover.
Disgusted Hannibal couldn’t even bring himself to finish his meal, stalking towards the pool carrying his tablet. He called out, “Will?”
The man swam to him, looking eager to see Hannibal which made him smile. He leaned down and reached out his hand, running fingers through Will’s wet curls.
“I would like to show you something,” he said softly, scrolling to the picture of a sad Matthew Brown to enlarge it turning his tablet to Will’s eyes.
Will growled, grabbing the tablet and beating the device down on the cement till there was nothing left. “NO NO NO! Bad! Bad! Hurt!” Will’s chest heaved as he looked at Hannibal with his fangs exposed, “He hurt me.”
Hannibal nodded once, reaching out and slowly touching Will’s cheek. Will leaned in to him, tears on his face as he whimpered, “No hurt.”
“No, never. We will hurt Matthew.”
Will’s eyes opened and he jumped out of the water, growling and pushing Hannibal down. He hissed, his eyes darkening more than Hannibal had known they could.
“Hurt him, we…we hurt HIM. Hannibal hurt him?”
Hannibal touched his cheek, feeling immense pride that Will remembered his name. He took Will’s hand and brought it to his face. “Both of us.”
Will smiled, leaning down and suddenly licking his cheek. He nuzzled the spot and purred, “Mine.”
Hannibal pet his head, ignoring the stench of death and decay coming from the monster in his arms. There was nowhere else he’d rather be. “Yes Will, as you are also mine.”
The answering lick he received in return warmed Hannibal more than he thought possible.
No one would take this beautiful creature from him.
Hannigram AU: A Growing Boy
Hannibal Lecter is a genius botanist who enjoys plants more than human beings. He spends most of his days with plants, studying and testing various plants at home and in his lab. When he gets his new student intern he’s at first annoyed but soon he’s his new assistant is as invested as he is in plant life.
Will Graham has a secret. He loves plants. Loves. He’s grown up around them all his life because he can hear their language for he’s part of them. He can grow vines from any part of his body and requires water and sun to thrive. He meets Professor Lecter and instantly sees the respect he has for plant life, making Will feel more at home than he has in years. But would Hannibal be disgusted with him if he knew the truth?
Hannibal ran his hands up Will’s bare leg, making leaves sprout up every place he left. Will blushed and whispered, “Sir?”
He looked up at Will, his eyes wide as he asked, “Where else?”
Will swallowed, “Everywhere, if I wanted. My…my mother could do it too my father said, I…I don’t know why?”
Hannibal leaned in closely and blew on a leaf, making Will fight back a moan.
“They’re a part of you?”
Will nodded once, blushing.
“Can I see?”
Will thought for a moment before asking, “Where?”
Hannibal pressed his lips to Will’s leg and said softly, “Everywhere.”
Hannigram AU: The Vampire Under The Stairs
Will Graham is a janitor. He has worked at Pemberly University for the last three years and has never been down in the renovated section until he’s there late one night and loses a quarter under the stairs, making him flash a light on a very long crate covered in dust.
He opens the metal covering and sees the date is 1929, intrigued enough to open it revealing an old wooden coffin. When he gets the lid off and sees the man inside he screams, hurriedly grabbing his cell phone to call 911.
A hand on his arm stops him, and a purring voice says, “May I?” before he feels a sharp pain in his neck followed by an intense pleasure the likes of which he has never imagined.
When he wakes in his bedroom he thinks it must’ve been a dream until the killings start, he keeps finding marks on his neck, and he begins receiving flowers. Every day a new flower and at night a beautiful man visits him in his dreams talking of how beautiful he is and how perfect he feels.
Will thinks he’s going insane until he wakes up from one such dream to find the man still in his bed.
“You’re…” Will’s shaking, barely able to move as he stares.
The man smiles, reaching over to touch his neck, whispering, “Yes, beautiful Will I am real. The marks on your throat are proof enough of that.”
Will looks into his eyes, feeling weightless and needy suddenly reaching for him as the stranger whispers, “Yes darling, let me in,” taking Will to him tightly before biting into his neck once more.
Will cries out and clutches to him, begging, “More, more, please.”
The stranger pulls his mouth away, smiling down at Will with bloodstained lips. He touches Will’s mouth and asks, “Do you wish for more? Truly?”
Will nodded, breathless in his reply, “Yes, I…I don’t even know your name but I’ve never wanted anyone more. What are you doing to me?”
Hannibal licked his lips, still quite bloody as he bit into his own arm holding it up as an offering for Will.
“I’m elevating your greatness, Will. Join me?”
Will groaned, clutching onto his arm and pulling it to his lips, feeling himself growing stronger with each drop he swallowed. When he pulled his mouth away and smiled with newly grown fangs he sighed, “Hannibal.”
“Yes, beloved. You can see me fully now.” Hannibal said softly before bringing their lips together in a bruising embrace.
Twilight Zone episode 123: Nightmare at 20,000 feet
Will hated airplanes.
He walked onto the plane and sat down, feeling sweat
dripping down his face even though they hadn’t yet taken off. Closing his eyes
he took a deep breath, letting out all the air at once just before a voice
asked, “Are you all right, sir?”Will opened his eyes, blushing as he said, “I’m fine,”
putting on his belt and waiting with his hands clawing at the armrest just as
they took off into the air.He was surprised by no one sitting near him, grateful that
he didn’t have to justify his fear with a stranger for the next few hours
though the flight attendants giving him looks of pity were enough.They were flying for over an hour when Will saw movement on
the wing. He turned, looking out the window in surprised when he sees a man
standing on the furthest point of the wing, wiping off his suit and walking
towards him.Will almost screams, hands over his mouth as he turns to
look at the attendants walking around. No one else seemed to notice, Will
staring back out the window with growing horror as the man got closer.He hurriedly pressed the button above his head, nearly
jumping out of his skin as the attendant appeared, smiling at him with pity,
“Yes, sir, can I help you?”Will wiped his face, biting his lip as he looked back at the
window and then at the woman in front of him. “There’s someone outside.”The attendant smiled, looking like she wanted to laugh.
“Sir, I think you’re just seeing things. There is no one outside. We are 20,000
feet in the air.”Will shook his head. “No! I saw him! He’s wearing a suit and
he’s coming closer! He’s…!”She grabbed his arm, “Sir, calm yourself. Your fears are
getting the best of you. Please, just calm down. There is no one there.”Will took his hand back and turned, staring out the window.
There was nothing there.
He sighed, relaxing all the once. “Maybe you’re right, I…I
could’ve sworn I saw someone.”The attendant patted his hand and said softly, “I will get
you something to drink. Scotch?”He nodded once and she left, Will closing his eyes as he
relaxed.She returned a moment later and handed him the drink, Will
downing it all at once before attempting to close his eyes.The tapping on the window was what woke him, Will
immediately tensing as he opened one eye and nearly screamed.The man was staring at him from the outside, his smile
curious and when he waved Will moaned, hands over his face just as he
disappeared as quickly as he’d come.Will screamed out, “HE’S OUTSIDE! I SEE HIM!”
Two attendants appeared as Will shot up, pointing out his
window and they strapped him down, just as the captain’s voice said, “Due to a
disturbance, we are going to have to land sooner. I apologize for the
inconvenience.”Will moaned as they strapped him down, “No, he’s there! I saw him! I did!”
The attendants all glared, just as a new voice said, “I can
help sedate him, I am a doctor.”Will could barely see for the sweat and tears in his eyes,
but he knew that face anywhere.“No, no, no! It’s him! He was outside! He’s…!”
The man sat down beside him, looking impeccable for someone
who had been outside just moments before. He touched Will’s hand and was ice
cold, making Will moan just as he took out a needle to sedate him. “I am a
doctor, sir, I am only here to help.”“I saw you,” Will moaned, his yelling softening, “I saw you.”
The man smiled, touching his face. “Yes, Will, you did, as
you were meant to. I have been looking for you, for so very long.”Will’s eyes were closing as he mumbled, “Who are you?”
“I am the keeper of your heart, mylimasis, and I am here to
collect.”Will felt himself drifting as the hand on his intertwined
their fingers together, “I don’t…”He shivered when the stranger touched his face. “My name is
Hannibal, and I am going to take such good care of you.”
Twilight Zone episode 89: To Serve Man
Will looked up at the ceiling, sighing loudly as there was a
knock at his door.“You don’t have to do that, I’m chained to the bed.”
The door opened and his captor came inside, locking the door
behind him as he brought in a plate of food.“Will, you need to eat.”
Will glared, “Why? There’s no reason at all to eat, is
there? You only want me to eat so what, I taste better?”“I would not harm you, of all of them I would not harm you,”
the alien said, reaching out to touch him.Will spit in his face and rattled the chain on his leg, “DO
NOT TOUCH ME!”The alien sighed, standing and leaving him alone again
locking the door behind him.Will leaned back and thought about how he had gotten to be
here, hating himself for his stupidity.The alien had arrived discreetly and without fanfare,
appearing before the UN and announcing their intention to put an end to the
world’s greatest woes: hunger, energy shortage, and war. The world was excited,
hearing out the beautiful planet, Chespek, their representative H’nbal, hailed
as a hero of the planet. Will worked as a cryptographer for the US government
at the time, he’d been there that day and he was the one who found the book.There were squabbles among them about giving it back to
H’nbal, but in the end they thought translating it would be better before
attempting to return the book.The others were all caught up in a tizzy of excitement,
booking flights to Chespek in droves and hearing about the paradise that they
were going to. Will wanted nothing of it, staying hours upon hours in his
office trying to figure out the symbols on the book.Will was alone when he finally did it, the horror of it
almost making him too scared to move.When he looked up and saw H’nbal standing there, looking
like a human but even more of a monster than he thought upon seeing him the
first time.“To Serve Man,” Will whispered, his throat hoarse with fear,
“It’s…it’s…”H’nbal walked over to him, his hand on Will’s own as he said
with a smile, “It’s a cookbook, Will Graham, you can say it yourself.”Will cried out just as he felt a touch that put him to
sleep, and woke up in a room that looked just exactly like his bedroom, the
book by the bed mocking him for his failures.He had no idea how long he’d been here, where here really
was, but he was here.Despite what H’nbal said, no he shouldn’t think of him by
name.What the alien said, because he was just that, an alien. A
monster.The food beside him smelled so good, Will couldn’t remember
the last time he’d eaten and it called to him being so close. He took a piece
of the food designed to look like a potato and chewed, his eyes closing in
bliss. It wasn’t long before he ate everything on the plate, ravenous and
unable to help himself.That was when H’nbal came in again, this time without
knocking.“I am so pleased,” he said softly, making Will look up.
Will burst into tears, covering his face as he sobbed. He
felt arms around him and sunk himself into them, shuddering as he cried out his
fears and sorrow.“I will not hurt you, Will Graham, I have promised you
this.”“You’re a killer, a monster.”
“I eat what tastes pleasant to me, as do all of my kind. You
have just eaten the same.”Will pushed him back, his eyes wide with horror. He choked,
shaking his head. “No, no, no!”H’nbal smiled, touching his face. “Yes, Will, you have eaten
just what you were so disgusted with, and enjoyed it thoroughly did you not?”Will felt tears on his face as he whimpered, covering his
mouth as H’nbal sat down beside him and put a hand through his hair. “I will
not hurt you, Will, your beauty is unparallel to any of the cattle we have
acquired thus far. You are so very lucky that I found you first, I will make
you my pet.”Will shivered, moving his hand as he whispered, “What…does
that mean?”H’nbal took his hand and kissed it, “Whatever you want it to
mean, Will Graham.”Will could barely see through his tears as he said, “You
won’t hurt me?”H’nbal shook his head, “No one will harm you, or they will
have to answer to me.”Will relaxed, fearful but not as much as he had been moments
before.“The chain?”
H’nbal kissed his palm, rubbing his cheek against it as he
smiled. “I will not trust for it to be off so soon, but be a good pet and we
will see.”Will nodded, shaking so badly but having no other choice.
“Okay. I…I’ll be good.”H’nbal patted his head again and said with a smile, “I know
you will.”
Tales from the Crypt Episode 51: Werewolf Concerto
There was another murder.
The guests of The Mountain Hotel and Resort were all
terrified, some were refusing to continue their stay and others were demanding
to know why the authorities had yet to be called.Hannibal Lecter was doing neither.
He sipped his wine, smiling to himself as another set of
guests went up to the Hotel manager, Frederick Chilton, shouting in the man’s
face and demanding answers he could not give.He licked his lips, remembering the taste of the man he’d
slaughtered the night before the feeling of the blood in his mouth as it hit
his tongue and the meat as it slid down his throat.

Hannigram AU: The Lost Wolf
Will Graham is perfectly fine being a pet.
He’s lived the last few years of his life as one, adopted
by his owner when he was fifteen and hiding in wolf form. There is no reason
left to pretend at being human, not until he smells Hannibal Lecter for the
first time.Hannibal is perfectly fine being alone.
His wolf form is exclusively for nights of the full moon,
staring up at the light of it and howling out his grief for a lost pack he has
no need to remake. That is until he sees the young wolf on a leash.The smell is hard to mistake even after having not
experienced it in so long. The wolf’s human apologizes when Hannibal’s jacket
is pulled in a rough tug between the pup’s teeth, eyes searching him in
surprise as he pets over the wolf’s muzzle before leaving.The first time Hannibal smells the wolf again is less than
two hours later, a faint scent through his open window as he’s drawing. He
looks up and sees movement out of the corner of his eye, standing and walking
towards the window only to watch the trees move as if they’ve just been ran
through.
Hannigram AU: The Hunter & The Werewolf
Hannibal Lecter is a hunter.
He’s a skilled precise killer, never wavers once he sets his sights on something and when he first sees the stag he knows it will be his.
Until the wolf.
The wolf takes to following him on his hunt, scaring away the stag when he’s near and soon it’s a game of wills who will be bested first.
He is surprised when the wolf does not attack at all just a deep growl in annoyance at his continued presence as they chase.
When Hannibal hits the deer cleanly he pauses before heading to take his trophy, conceding the kill to his hunter companion.
He sees the wolf the next morning, though this time they seem to have built an accord. He stalks and the wolf takes down, at one point stopping to share a kill with him.
Hannibal is tempted to take his new companion home with him.
The last day of his hunting trip he hopes to see the wolf again but finds himself alone.
Worry is what leads him to the blood.
The wolf is injured, shot, and he does the only thing he can think of: he picks his wolf up and takes it to his cabin for doctoring.
Hannibal stays for two more days and cares for the wolf as if a pet. On the evening before he is to leave, Hannibal takes off the bandage the wolf licks his hand. He smiles.
“You are quite strange.”
The growl he gets in response makes him bare his own teeth.
“You are not the only one with teeth, little one.”
The wolf seems almost sheepish. Hannibal pets its head and leaves to bed only to discover a young man in his companion’s place come morning.
The same blue eyes, the same scar on his abdomen, and the same bared teeth at his approach.
“It appears you are even stranger than I assumed.”
