#flesh of devil

[allgarbo]

In the early 1930s, scholarly studies were done on the impact of screen stars on teenagers, because of fears that the movies were sexualizing them. These studies found that teenage girls learned sex techniques through watching Garbo’s sex scenes, especially those in Flesh and the Devil; they then practiced her techniques at home with their girlfriends. Raymond Daum described Garbo’s many young female fans as having “schoolgirl crushes on her” that “defined a national idolatry.” And knowledge of Garbo’s non-heteronormative sexuality was spread through lesbian networks “from coast to coast.” Moreover, the 1920s was an era of commercial expansion in which the ranks of saleswomen and typists, careers dominated by young women, increased. These women made enough money to see a movie more than once. They identified with female stars and liked to see them in powerful roles. Greta Garbo in Flesh and the Devil (1926)

idk how experimental you can say this really is for me but it's a new reshade and skin details so this counts <3 anyway yesterday i wrote down an idea for a short story and it's one bullet point and it says "a rockstar picks up a homeless hitchhiker in the 70s. something homosexual happens" and that's the whole thing. the rockstar 👨‍🎤

#finally. a successful sim attempt #ok maybe he kinda looks like frankie BUT #he's so pretty odd ryan ross coded....... #(now before you go making accusations against me......what were YOU doing at the devils sacrament) #he doesn't have a name honestly i don't think i was ever going to reveal it #it's a first person pov (his) and he uses a fake name #so idk. maybe he'll never have a name #unless it got fleshed out enough to be a novel idea instead of a short story like my short stories tend to do but whatever #ts4 #ts4 cas #the sims 4 #ts4 edit

hey fam, welcome to the March roundup of the best hannigram fics i've read this past month! i read close to 60 fics total, and these were the cream of the crop.

as a reminder: the ingredients for a five star rating typically (but not always!!) include some combination of a.) believable characterizations of both Hannibal and Will, b.) compelling plot and/or character arcs, and c.) high quality smut.

that being said, my judgment of the aforementioned ingredients is powered almost exclusively by vibes and as such, is incredibly subjective.

and if you have any recs of your own for me, PLEASE SHARE.

(Inaugural roundup can be found here)

anyway, in no particular order, let's go!

~

Title: Bones of My Bones (& Flesh of My Flesh) by everyday_forever Word Count: 15,759 Summary: When Will & Hannibal reunite in Italy at last, Will doesn't fear becoming Hannibal. He knows he already is Hannibal. However, Will feels as if he's a derivative of Hannibal, made in Hannibal's image, from Hannibal's own raw material. He doesn't feel like he's Hannibal's natural equal. Will thinks the only way he can forgive Hannibal is by claiming a piece of Hannibal in return, and choosing to make it a part of himself. He has to eat him. And Hannibal is all to happy to let him.

As far as I'm concerned, this IS canon. Truly some of the best canon-compliant characterizations of them that I've read. This is absolutely what would have happened if Will hadn't tried to kill Hannibal after leaving the Uffizi Gallery. It was perfect. And so them. And obviously, mutual cannibalism. *chefs kiss*

Title: Do you feel the hunger, does it howl inside? by merrythoughts and ReallyMissCoffee Word Count: 261,929 Summary: It's been weeks since the Fall. Since Will had leaned against him, the wild scent of blood thick and cloying on the air, and had taken them from the top of the cliffs. And for every second of every day since, Hannibal has been calmly dealing with the fallout of his decision that night: Life over death. Will had intended them to die, had allowed himself a moment of weakness, of desperation. Perhaps the last act of an exhausted soul. Yet Hannibal had denied him.

I am being dead serious when I say that this fic changed my brain chemistry and managed to do something that several years of therapy had not. I wanted this to go on forever (there IS a sequel!) and did my very best to savor it instead of plowing through the entire thing in a single day. Check the author notes if you're unfamiliar with these two writers–the format took me a couple chapters to get used to, but clearly it wasn't a big deal for me.

Title: Sensational by bigfootghostdick Word Count: 39,607 Summary: Franklyn’s obsession with Hannibal Lecter truly knows no bounds. His obsession only grows worse after being fired as Dr.Lecter’s patient. Feeling slighted by Hannibal's rejection, Franklyn follows him home one evening only to stumble upon something that he never expected to see. Who’s that dark-haired man locking lips with Hannibal right outside his front door? Overcome with jealousy, Franklyn decides to seek revenge on his tenth psychiatrist. How? By selling the photos he took of them to Freddie Lounds.

Listen. I love a good jealous!Franklyn, especially when Hanni and Will firmly put him in his place. Sue me.

Title: The Stress-Sex Connection by shotgun_sinner Word Count: 48,090 Summary: When Will gets out of the BSHCI, he resumes therapy with Hannibal Lecter. His stress levels are through the roof, and Hannibal makes an offer that Will doesn't turn down. Hannibal assumes he's going to take Will to bed and make love to a fragile man, shy and delicate. Will enjoys taking Hannibal to bed, and proving him wrong. OR the story where Hannibal is shocked to find out that Will is a profiler in the streets, but a demon in the sheets.

I was sold on the last line of the summary, "Will is a profiler in the streets, but a demon in the sheets" because it actually got a good cackle out of me, and then who would have guessed! Essentially porn with feelings, but I loved.

Title: hold me, kiss me, rip out my tongue by multifandom_fanfic_writer Word Count: 18,005 Summary: Will notices things. He notices a lot of things, can’t turn it off. Some of these things are about Doctor Hannibal Lecter. He watches Hannibal watching him eat. He watches the touch on his elbow lingering, possessive. He watches Hannibal's eyes darken when Will pulls his hair and fucks his throat hard.

Okay, so I'm realizing that a lot of my five star fics this month were pretty smutty, but I make no apologies. That being said, I did find the characterizations of both Will and Hannibal to be very compelling, and it had the added bonus of Will getting to rub it in Alana's face that Hannibal chose him not her.

Title: Ligare by InfiniteCrisis Word Count: 8,280 Summary: Will's never gone down on a man before and is feeling nervous about it. His solution: tie Hannibal up first. Hannibal has no complaints.

Initially shied away from this one because Will essentially drugs Hannibal to knock him out and fuck him for the first time, but I PROMISE Hannibal knew exactly what Will was doing and allowed it. However, if that isn't your thing, this won't be for you.

THAT BEING SAID, my honest reaction after this was, "fuck fuck fuck, dom!Will might be my new favorite." Bonus points for it being the first in a series, and the rest is equally good!

Title: Oboedire, Implorare, Vovere by InfiniteCrisis Word Count: 18,715 Summary: At the end of Ligare, Hannibal said Will should "test" his willingness to submit to him. Will takes him up on that, and the results are more than either of them expected.

As I said, the rest of the series was SO GOOD. This was basically off the charts hot.

Title: To the Devil His Due (His Due is You) by everyday_forever Word Count: 26,3319 Summary: Will Graham is in the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, courtesy of one Hannibal Lecter. And Will wants payback. He threatens Hannibal with a reckoning. And then Will has a terrible and wonderful idea- he opts to get back at Hannibal and make him jealous by pursuing a sexual relationship with Dr. Frederick Chilton. Feeling emboldened, Chilton sends the audio recordings of him and Will together to Hannibal to boast of the new development in Will's 'therapy.' Hannibal knows at once Will is the mastermind behind it all. Hannibal is most displeased with his manipulative albeit cunning boy. Chaos ensues. Will continues to manipulate both Chilton and Hannibal in order to make Hannibal jealous. Will has entered into a dance with the Devil after poking Hannibal's beast and Hannibal is eager to teach Will a lesson and remind him who he belongs to...

HEAR ME OUT. Prior to this fic, I had never considered Will/Chilton. Ever. Let alone reading a fic where most of the on paper smut is ChilWill. And yet here we are. Hannibal was just so present through it all, given that Will was only screwing Chilton to get at Hannibal (although, I liked that there was some genuine affection between Chilton and Will, it wasn't completely callous), and it just all combined to be an excellent fic. Sue me.

Title: Trope: Fake Date (Hannigram AU) by TigerPrawn Word Count: 4,207 Summary: Will's possible promotion is relying on his superiors thinking better of him. One way to do that is to take his omega to the upcoming cocktail party. Only problem is, he doesn't have one, having to rely on one sent by an agency. He wasn't quite expecting Doctor Hannibal Lecter.

Fluffy first meeting AU, nothing more nothing less. I just love seeing them happy!! (sometimes, lmao)

I've been sitting on this for a bit and I honestly don't have the motivation to put it in story format right now. The idea is that Nero has learned by now that Dante can't understand Fortunan so he speaks it exclusively whenever he's mad at him. As always, Dante brings this on himself. Just a fun little thing where Nero gets to bully his uncle for a change.

Jobs have been slow for a while and for once it’s not because Dante’s too depressed to take them

Morrison found something last week and while he normally wouldn’t bother with escort missions (Dante’s refused to take them ever since Patty), it’s the only thing that’s come in.

It’s three weeks into the month, bills are coming up, shit’s gotta be paid, Dante doesn’t have a choice. Except he does and he passes it off to Nero.

Nero has voiced not liking escort missions in the past, but he’s more of a people person than Dante is so he’ll get over it right? Maybe he’ll just leave out some details…

The day of the job comes and goes and Nero/Morrison/the client doesn’t call at any point to cuss him out, so everything must have gone alright. Nero even calls that night saying he’ll be by in two days for processing.

Two days later, Nero and Kyrie (lovely surprise, apparently she wanted to come) drop by and it takes Dante all of ten seconds to realize they aren’t speaking English. He actually doesn’t know what they’re speaking; is it Fortunan? It kind of sounds like the little bit of Fortunan he’s heard.

Nero, the literal and metaphorical bastard, is standing there talking to him like nothing is wrong, but can’t keep the smug look off his face. Once again, he looks just like his father and once again, Dante has the urge to punch something. Kyrie at least looks sorry, but she’s still going along with it and giggling to herself. And here Dante thought she was nice.

Dante doesn’t even last a full two minutes before he shouts for Vergil to come downstairs and be a parent and make Nero speak English. Though of course, Vergil immediately catches on to what’s happening and joins in because he actually understands Fortunan and speaks it back. So now the three of them are having a lovely conversation without him and honestly, Dante doesn’t know what he expected.

tbh i wish aup had more reps for characters who achieve greatness purely through hard work and effort. the emphasis on genius/being special is mayhaps way too much to the point that it feels kinda damn depressing for those who aint born as one.

#rant #why is everyone in aup a genius #the four musketeers have the potential for this but its unfortunate that we dont get to see it fleshed out #even aiden ended up relying on his antimagic talents in the long run #ngl owens would have been more impressive to me if they r hardworkers instead of born special #it would have made the fact that ludger took them in more interesting #and mayhaps even highlighted his qualifications as a teacher #(lowkey im still salty that we dont get the full arc of ludger teaching magic to arpa lmfao) #(owens growth feels much less impactful to me bc they are already so special that them becoming that OP is nothing surprising) #plus i thought fighting against the unfairness of the world was a theme for owens #even if one managed to close the gap between the wealthy and the poor or noble and non-noble #the division between a genius and a non-genius itself would only create another kind of classism #how r they gonna challenge it as the members of the one and only special talent club? #violetta is the closest to be the hardworking one but even then her achievement still has a hand of a devil in it #also while surna had to learn everything from scratch he had been around for hundreds if not thousands of years #not to diminish his achievements but that hardly counts cuz it still puts him next to the special treatment category #not to mention being able to learn something simply by observing it is also a kind of cheat code itself...
