Hello first, dear readers :)

Just before you start reading the story I want you to know something about the AU-Universe I put it in (so that there is no confusion here in the first place ;3).

In my AU, after Will has shot Abel Gideon, Hannibal has taken even more care of the profiler and finally decided to diagnoze the encephalitis earlier so it could be healed properly. After this he decides to invite Will to his home, pour some wine and tell him everything (EVERYTHING. Cannibalism and romantic feelings included). After this information drunken Will is shocked and desperate but, well, dizzy too, so he soon passes out on Hannibal's couch and falls asleep. Hannibal covers him with a blanket and stays with him the whole night. In the morning when Will wakes up, the first thing Hannibal does is to kiss and tell him, how much he means to him. Will, after some serious thoughts, admits to himself that he loves Hannibal too, despite everything, even cannibalism.

They become a couple then and are soon engaged afterwards. (Meanwhile Freddie Lounds is killed and Frederick Chilton reveals Will his true feelings as well but Will denies him… more or less willingful.)

At this point the story takes place and I really hope you still want to read it ^^'

Here is the whole summary again (it was too long to fit in, unfortunately) :


AU : Will has a car crash and loses parts of his ability
to remember. The disorder is diagnosed as a temporary memory loss. Among other things, he does not recognize his fiance Hannibal again and (of some unknown reason) suddenly thinks that instead Frederick Chilton is his life companion. Federick, who has already expressed mutual interest for the profiler several times before, takes the unexpected opportunity leaving Will in this belief, also because the doctor warns to confront Will too early with the truth, as this could cause unpleasant consequences. Too rapid comparison with this might put his memories to sleep forever.
So Hannibal must therefore bear that HIS fiance suddenly lives in Fredericks house and sees him as his only true love, at least for a certain amount of time. And the uncertainty, whether Will will ever remember again or not, almost kills him.

Especially since Frederick of course uses the bestowed time together to convince Will that he is obviously the perfect choice for being his lover.

However, Will has to struggle with conflicting feelings himself and comes relatively soon to a point where he no longer knows how to distinguish reality from memory and truth from lies. They melt into each other, only to repel again. He is caught between the idea that he found a tender,caring man in Frederick and confused by the powerful presence of the psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter, who torments him with feelings that no loyal, happy man should ever be aware of.


In the meantime I try to write the former events out. in a collection of Hannigram/ChillyWilly/Brownham OS called "Family Portrait."

Maybe you want to take a look at this work as well : s/10581396/1/Family-Portrait

And now, finally, have fun with reading!
