The Fault in My Code by LiaS0

Hannibal | Will Graham/Hannibal Lecter | Mature | 90,434 words

Soulmate AU: Soulmates find their other half when they look into their eyes. After the next time they sleep, they wake with one eye the color of their intended. Will Graham avoids eyes. He's never wanted a soulmate, never wanted to be told by the universe who he was supposed to feel a connection to. He already struggles enough with connections, thank you very much. As a psychiatrist, he works with soulmates who have lost their other half through various means, part of a social system that regards the journey to your soulmate as the most important thing a person can do. Coerced by Jack Crawford to consult on a case where the assailant is targeting soulmates, Will finds himself turning to the notorious Dr. Lecter to gain insight on how he's choosing the soulmates to target. Things go horribly awry when he looks into Hannibal's eyes, though. The next morning, he wakes up with one eye blue, the other maroon. He's never wanted a soulmate, least of all one behind bars for murdering dozens of people and eating them. Hannibal thinks it's delightful -it's been dreadfully boring since he was locked up. Romance, thriller, mayhem, mystery, soulmate au with a realistic twist, and a grumpy Will Graham

Written on the Heart by who_la_hoop

Harry Potter | Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter | Explicit | 113,984 words

Harry doesn’t mind that so many Slytherins from his year have returned to finish their NEWTs, really he doesn’t. It’s just – do they have to be so friendly? He’s not prejudiced, really he’s not. It’s just – they’ve got to be up to something, right? Unnerved by the attention he’s attracting from everyone – the Slytherins are the least of it, to be fair – and struggling with a raft of changes to Hogwarts itself, Harry wishes he could be happy that one constant remains: Draco Malfoy really fucking hates him. When he’s hit by an illegal love-spell though, Harry finds he has more to worry about than whether or not Blaise Zabini actually wants to be his friend. For if everyone affected has been blessed – or cursed, by the look on Malfoy’s face – with a magical tattoo revealing the name of their soulmate, what does it mean that Harry’s skin remains completely bare?

Not after everything else I’ve-” Clint worked his left hand between their bodies and managed to land a punch to the man’s right side, forcing him to shift his weight, and Clint brought his right hand down on the place where the man’s metal arm met his torso - hidden by the shirt he wore, but on full display in the video Clint had watched. The man released Clint with a grunt of pain, and Clint pressed his advantage, landing another punch to his abdomen, backing him up against the opposite side of the RV and then pressing the kitchen knife he had pocketed while cleaning up earlier to the man’s throat. “Like I said, I’m not a Boy Scout. I’m plenty dangerous myself. We clear on that?”

[Jun 24th] Final Critical Analysis--NBC ‘Hannibal’

When we review the past ten years, we would surprisedly found there is a big change in our entertainment ways. At that time, TV seems to become to the funniest activity for everyone, people were so fascinating about sit in front of the television and enjoy those show. Now the network makes the steam shows being possible, more and more audience can see more TV series online easily, and there are big developments and changes on TV shows. Obviously, TV shows are more complex and splendid than before, it might be affected by the TV production industries’ benefit and the technology changes, and also they become more close to the tastes of the audience to fit the wide amount range of people. The TV series becoming complex though many different parts, we can see it from complex plots, the way of building the character, multiple storylines, variations storytelling techniques and relevant interaction between viewers all contribute to those successful TV shows. I would like to mainly analysis the ‘Hannibal’ from NBC and some other series about how the complexity makes TV shows so still attractive and fit into today's culture. ‘Hannibal’ is a very good TV drama, it started in 2013 and have three seasons, 39 episodes in total. In ‘Hannibal’, there are lots of small stories in each episode, but mainly it’s about the relationship and complex story between Hannibal Lecture and Will Graham. In this show, Dr. Lecter is a psychiatrist of FBI special agent Will Graham, Will have the ability on criminal profiling, he can found cues by imagining himself as the murder, but this gift is very dangerous to him, he might lose control and it brings him big pressure. FBI asked Hannibal Lecter to help him, but Hannibal is a serial killer and he eats people, he is a high-function criminal and no one ever doubt him before, he is a gentleman in front everyone, but he also curious about Will, so he misled Will and other psychiatrists, he framed Will and putted him into jail, but also his emotion is complex, he thinks Will is different from others, he doesn’t want to kill him, their relationship is between the friend and enemy. There are many cases in ‘Hannibal’, but only a few made by Hannibal. However, each of them has some relations and all serve the main storyline, to expose what did Hannibal do to Will and what did he really think about. The very first case, which is also the first case solved by Will and Hannibal—the ‘Minnesota Shrike’ is very important, Will’s nightmare came from the criminal he killed by himself in this case, and Hannibal use the Abigail Hobbs —who is daughter of the criminal to attract Will and also framed Will. It’s the hint set in the beginning and throughout whole 3 seasons of the show. And also every case in each episode are all very important, Hannibal set up traps step by step, and also we can track all the details through beginning to determine what’s his real goal, it’s necessary to see how each episode works for the story in whole. The show makes every episode have differences, it doesn’t follow any model like how to start with found a dead body at the beginning of a single episode and end with solving the case. It can be an episode with memories, or a connecting episode, or a climax moment. At the beginning of the season 2 episode 1, it started with Hannibal fight with Jack Crawford, and they have the knife, blood all around, and audience have no idea what happened. But in episode 13 which is the end of the season 2, it connects with a whole season story and we finally found out it’s not the reason, it’s a result. Also ‘Hannibal’ is successful in creating characters. Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham are not the same characters in the book or movies, it has their own complex personality, and also other characters such as Alana Bloom, Abigail Hobbs, Freddie Lounds, are also very complex and attractive. The producer Bryan Fuller re-write the Hannibal story and changed the background, also he changed the characters' setting to make them more close to a group of modern people live in these days. Hannibal Lecter is a very complex people, he didn’t hate anyone, he didn’t kill for certain reason, he is cold-blood, and he has his own philosophy, he doesn’t care about any people, and he has no problem to do anything to serve his own propose. But he also a good man in front of people, he is good at cooking, he is a good teacher of Dr. Bloom, he is a good psychiatrist for his patient, and he was a good friend of Will. Many audiences love this character, it’s hard to imagine how people will love a serial murder and he actually did lots of cases in front of the camera, but we still like him. He is not a traditional villain, he has his own charisma, he is so perfect in some way, not like a real human, he is calm and intelligent, he sees everyone and everything the same, he is a god. Also, the relationship between Hannibal and Will is a big part of the story. Hannibal cares no one except Will. He was curious about Will’s gift, and want to know will he found out he is the real ‘Chesapeake Ripper’. But after he did so much and spend a long time with Will, he seems have different pursue of Will, it’s a very complex emotion, he thinks Will and him can be the same kind of person, and he even got a plan— he and Will and Abigail will leave the U.S. and live together. He saved Abigail Hobbs for Will because Will think he is responsible for rising Abigail. He hurt Will many times, but never want him to die. In the season 3 episode 13, the final episode, Hannibal, and Will worked to together and killed the Red Dragon, Hannibal hugged Will and said: “That’s all I want.” Most of the fans think there is romance between this two characters and in the show, the reporter Freddie Lounds published a news about Hannibal and Will described them as ‘Murder Husband’. Will Graham changed a lot during three seasons, he was just an agent and want to catch the criminal at first, and after he was taken care by Hannibal, and after he framed by Hannibal, he neither become a weak person who afraid to trust anyone, nor hate Hannibal so much or become a hero who wants to kill Hannibal by his own hand. He is so conflicted inside, he influenced by Hannibal, and part of him attracted by him, too. In season 2 episode 13, he told Hannibal Jack Crawford was coming for him, he didn’t want him being caught, but in season 3, he put Hannibal in jail, and in the last episode, he stood beside Hannibal and told him what they did together is ‘beautiful’. I think it’s very real for a person to change his mind all the time, people are easy to be influenced, especially by Hannibal Lecter, Will has his own thought and what he did— hesitating between the side of Hannibal and ‘justice’ can be totally understand, what’s more, I think this conflict and complexity is made is story so good. It’s the new perspective on writing about the relationship between these two people from the original book, the writer put LGBTQ element not only in this obscure way but also on another character— Alana Bloom. Alana is also a psychiatrist work for FBI, she was Hannibal’s student and had a relationship with Hannibal. She is the friend of Will and she cares about him so much. After she found out she was cheated and hurt by Hannibal, she had a girlfriend in season 3 — Margot Verger. She has a big change during three seasons, not only on her sexual presentation but also she become a more independent woman, her emotion being hurt and she grows up through what she experienced, there is a very obvious change in her personality and how she sees and deal with things. This show use varies perspectives to tell the storyline, which is a good technique to increase the tension of the plots. In most of the cases, we are looking from the Will Graham’s perspective, but it causes some plots being doubtable, the pieces of information we get were limited by the perspective, the audience should guess with the character and found out which is true and which one is his hallucination. And also it will hide half of the truth when we see in the perspective of criminals, it makes a better explanation and also keeps them interesting. Like many other TV shows and movies, NBC ‘Hannibal’ has it own forum, blog, fans website, wiki, twitter, and expo, even it’s three years after the last season 3 end, there are still a large amounts of fans who are talking about and pay attention to any news about this show. It’s a very convenient way for people to communicate and found different people who also interested in what you interest about. It’s good for attracting the audience and keeping their fans. Even now there are still a bunch of fans hoping there will be season 4 for ‘Hannibal’. I think ‘Hannibal’ is a good making TV shows, it’s from an original story but bring audience good and new experience. It’s also a presentation of the complex TV shows today, it includes modern thinking and changes in our culture. I think these TV series are more fit to aesthetics of today’s people, the complexity and diversification are attractive and make people think more when they are watching the shows, and it’s where today’s TV dramas are developed from.
