To say that Will Graham is still an unmated, childless omega at the age of thirty-eight is his own choice is true. It is not to say that it is his preference. Will wants a mate and a family just as much – perhaps even more – than the next omega. He’s simply never met that one person who fit the bill before. And then he walks into Jack Crawford’s office and meets Hannibal Lecter and well that, as they say in the business, is that.
Now all he needs to do is convince Hannibal of that. But well, this is Hannibal Lecter he is dealing with. It must be done a certain…flair. But that isn’t a problem for Will. Not at all.
After all, snakes may kill mongoose, but one must never forget this as well: mongoose hunt snakes too.
It’s Will Graham’s turn to wage his war.
Or, here is a fic about omega!Will Graham manipulating alpha!Hannibal Lecter into getting exactly what he wants. Words: 57667 complete
some strong passages full of deliciously sociopathic mayhem, but rather comprehensively spoiled by exuberant excesses that just seemed to get worse the deeper into the fic i went.
there's one section that is nearly all incredibly tiresome and needlessly frequent clusters of not at all necessary italics.
and more or less a constant barrage of homophone errors throughout.
you can be forgiven for saying "cockholded" when you mean "cuckolded." that one's archaic as fuck, after all.
but ain't nobody need an editor to know the difference between a "to" and a "too."
clumsy, sloppy, and—almost forgot to say—with the disquietingly deranged tang of the teenage gaze.
you know it when you see it, as when you see someone say something on twitter and the knowledge that they still live with their mom just sorta materializes in your gut with the magical certainty of Experience and Historical Disappointment.
eating people who don't understand that zayn malik is your One True Alpha may seem like a romantic idea right now, little one, but sending snapchat death threats to his girlfriend (or writing overwrought fanfic) will only embarrass the everliving shit out of you five years from now.
abandoned at 60 percent because the sex, after all that escandalo, was a travesty.
2.5 (I'm adding this as finished even though at the moment I'm only at 75%, this may or may not be a DNF overall) That being said...
This fic is hard to rate. If you like A/B/O dynamics in general you can probably bump this up a few stars. I however do not generally like A/B/O fics and find that more often than not they are a bit... icky... (I know mature word, but I got nothing better than that or "gross"). Anyway~ Will is baby crazy, like PUT A BABY IN ME NOW baby crazy and it really did not feel in character to me. I'm giving this a 2.5 because the fic still managed to keep my attention for a while.
I don't belong to too many fandoms but I can say from personal reading experience that capturing the dark feeling of the Hannibal show is very hard to do. Fluff just is wayyyyy harder to work into these fics and keep it feeling cannon.
Reasons I like Hannibal the show: -I love the dialogue that Hannibal and Will have together, their relationship (Platonic or not) is so interesting to watch. The give and take and manipulation (mainly by Hannibal) sets these guys up for all sorts of intellectual crazy mind fuckery. - It's a warped love story of friendship (I mean really not many can come back from gutting your bff) -Mads -It's so pretty - the UST to end all UST
Reasons this fic kinda worked up to a point: -the manipulation, I was expecting to hate manipulative Will, because Hannibal comes off as the master manipulator in the show. But this worked better than i figured it would and was honestly the most fun part of the fic. -Jealous Hannibal -Random interludes of Hannibal POV
Reasons I did not like this: -Baby crazy Will -Baby crazy Hannibal -EVERY BIT OF THE A/B/O ASPECT -^ The sex (because of ABO)
