Hannibal goes on a spree with someone else to make Will jealous. It works.
Hello! I have fallen down the Hannibal rabbit hole during quarantine. Consequently, I am now fiending to write some fic for the first time in a loooooong time. I’ve posted a few drabbles (here), but I’m gearing up to write a long fic by taking notes on each episode (Will/Hannibal focused). Because I am experiencing some COVID loneliness (and a pathetic yearning for any Hannibal fandom interaction), I will be posting my episode notes here. Obviously, any and all comments welcome.
I also must recommend the podcast @headfullofhannibal for episode recaps. The hosts are hilarious, based out of Baltimore, and provide lots of interesting background for each episode in addition to in-depth discussions of the content. Check them out!
S1, Ep. 1
The first episode! Always when I’m writing fic, I sort of dread going back to the beginning of the source material because usually the stuff that really REALLY hooks me happens a lot later. Also, S1 of Hannibal was not my favorite season because we have a protagonist who is rendered almost helpless and without agency halfway into the season due to his brain being on fire (and Hannibal manipulating the shit out of everyone). But! As always when I grudgingly go back to the beginning, I notice all sorts of good stuff.
The best part about S1 to me is that it’s a glimpse at what goodtimes!Hannigram can look like (as it’s before everyone made repeated attempts on each other’s life). Hannibal makes Will laugh and smile a lot. They enjoy learning from each other and working together. That’s the type of good that can remain intact (even after all the murder and/or betrayal).
But onto the actual content of S1, Ep. 1.
Classic, classic introduction. Hannibal really seems to like Will when he first sees him and doesn’t care if it’s obvious. Will is a surly asshole in response. I’m struck in this moment by Will’s ability to NOT see what he doesn’t want to and when he doesn’t want to (I.e., Hannibal is an evil motherfucker). I’m also struck by Hannibal’s ability to immediately *see* Will, or at least part of the core of who he is.
I saw an interesting distinction between Hannibal’s expression during his introduction (he’s alone and I would say his expression is neutral) vs. Hannibal after his copycat kills (alone, but smug and psyched). This was after his promise to Jack to help "Will see the cannibal’s face.” He’s teaching Will, making the FBI look like idiots, amusing himself, but also, to reiterate, “showing Will his face.” He understands the difference between himself (who sees people like pigs) vs. sentimental Shrike Killer in a way that makes me think he sees himself very clearly. I find that level of self-awareness from him sort of surprising, considering what a raging narcissist he is.
I have to say, the Ravenstag looks pretty ominous in this episode. But I really never get exactly what the Ravenstag is supposed to represent (although I’m intrigued every time it’s on screen).
Hannibal said Jack thinks Will is a teacup; Will thinks that’s hilarious. Hannibal said he thinks of Will as a mongoose, and Will looks a little upset. I have no idea wtf that means. I guess it could mean that Will is uncomfortable being seen as a hunter, and a fighter. Maybe also some discomfort at the idea that someone is calling him out for being sly and sneaky, maybe? Uncomfortable with being considered dangerous, definitely (at least to snakes).
Hannibal immediately believed Will re: who the Shrike was. They really worked together on that one. Hannibal was impressed. ::Happy sigh::
At the end when Will walked into Abigail’s hospital room, I’m sort of wondering if Hannibal was pretending to be asleep because he knew Will would come in eventually and he wanted Will to see him holding Abigail’s hand. He’s like that.

Will and Hannibal take a bunch of kids trick-or-treating on Halloween (Hannibal doesn't eat any of the children). There is a canon-ish twist.

Hello all! Fell down the Hannibal rabbit hole during quarantine (TV Hannibal, that is). As a result, I’ve written a bunch of fic! But I currently do not have a beta in this fandom, so have not published any. Anyone interested? I would request that the person be 18+, as I sometimes I write the sexy times. However, the fic currently needing a beta is Teen rated at most. Thank you very much in advance.
Y’all, I volunteer with the office of refugee resettlement here, and have mentored Philipa the past few months. She has had an INCREDIBLY hard time—she has been the victim of theft by her guardian, she doesn’t know where her parents are (for her safety), her father has been in a coma as a result of a car accident, she struggles with mental health (and was institutionalized), and she has has been the victim of xenophobia and racism that breaks my heart. Her story is included in the link. She is very young and vulnerable and has not been able to catch a break. She is incredibly hard working (right now walking up to 10 miles a day in record-breaking heat for a job), and is desperate. If you can spare ANYTHING AT ALL, she’d be eternally grateful. If not, just sharing would help. THANK YOU!
I'm looking to expand my IRL network of folks in New Orleans. If any of you live around here, hit me up for a drink/a tea!
I apologize if there are already extensive masterposts going around, but here’s mine. This has info/links on DATES/TIMES, LIVESTREAMS, REWATCHING/DOWNLOADING THE EPISODES, EXTENSIONS, and TAGGING/BLACKLISTING. This is a long (and hopefully useful!) post, so most everything is under the Read More.
DATES AND TIMES:
All episodes air first in the UK on BBC One (official schedule) and then a few hours later in the US on PBS (official schedule). If you are using a livestream, remember to convert these times to your timezone! You can convert it here. All this information may be subject to change, so please double-check your local stations for the correct times.
S4E1: THE SIX THATCHERS
S4E2: THE LYING DETECTIVE
S4E3: THE FINAL PROBLEM
*The PBS website lists the times with ET, but I believe that it is that 9PM, 9PM, and 7PM in all time zones, and not just ET. I don’t believe that PBS plays the episodes live at the same time across the nation, but rather that PBS plays the episodes first on the east coast, ending on the west coast. Please check and correct me if I’m wrong!
LIVESTREAMS:
Unfortunately, I can’t find any livestream links for PBS, so here are some livestream links for BBC One:

A peek of my submission for @johnlockfanzine!
bc i need some encouragement to push me to the finish line, here’s a snippet from my @johnlockfanzine ficlet:
“Wouldn’t have figured you for a beach bum,” John says, lying back propped up on his elbows, regarding Sherlock from behind brand-new Ray-Bans.
“Mm,” Sherlock says, and then, “you’re going a bit red, just there… here, let me—”
He sits beside John on the beach blanket they brought and picks up the tube of sunscreen lying off to the side. Then John doesn’t really pay much attention after that because Sherlock’s decided to not so much apply as massage sunscreen onto his chest, his shoulders, and when he sits up properly, all down the sore muscles in his back.
It’s heavenly.
He glances around lazily, taking in the young families with children splashing in the shallow waves that keep rolling in, the golden retrievers running into the water after tennis balls thrown by their owners, the ambient noise of the water and the wind and the laughter and, somewhere, pop music floating out of a portable speaker. It feels right in the way John always feels right when it’s just him and Sherlock and the rest of the world buzzing along around them, only now it’s even more, because now Sherlock is his to touch and to kiss and to fall asleep next to and wake up curled around. He lets out the happiest sigh he’s capable of and turns to lean and place a tiny sweet kiss on the corner of Sherlock’s mouth. “Thanks, love.”
