Summary
“Finish it out,” he grits between clenched teeth. “Go on. Ask it.”
Nolan shifts in his seat. “Are or are you not attracted, at the very least, to Wilson?”
House knocks his forehead against his cane. “I don’t know. Maybe.”
[In which Nolan pulls at the Wilson thread, and House can't stop it all from unraveling. Repression is a hell of a drug.]

Summary
Will Graham is a guarded, sharp-tongued student navigating an isolating home life, untreated trauma, and the psychological weight of a demanding behavioral analysis program.
When he’s paired in a lab with Hannibal Lecter, a quiet, older assistant with a calm presence and firm boundaries, their lives begin to overlap through shared work.

Summary
Everyone in Baltimore believes Hannibal Lecter is a grieving widower, a tragic figure hosting lavish dinner parties in quiet devotion to his lost wife.
In reality, Hannibal is far too consumed by his own theatrics to correct them—too busy pining over his estranged husband, Will Graham, who is very much alive and deeply annoyed. Will, for his part, just wants Hannibal to sign the damn divorce papers… or so he keeps telling himself.
As misunderstandings spiral and unspoken feelings fester, Alana and the others remain oblivious to the truth: the greatest love story in Hannibal’s life isn’t one of death and longing, but of stubborn exes locked in a battle of wills neither truly wants to win.

Summary
Jack's back is turned to Will. He's in the doorway, and Abigail Hobbs is behind him, holding his gun, aiming it straight at Jack's chest.
"You think I killed Nick Boyle," she says, but her voice is shaky. Her hands are shaky.
They haven't noticed Will, but—
"I'm not here because of Nick Boyle, Abig—"
But Will sees Abigail, and it's the only thing he needs to sink the knife into Jack's jugular.
Out of all the ways Will Graham saw his bright and disastrous post-BSCHI dance with Hannibal Lecter ending, even he didn't see it ending with Abigail Hobbs rising from the grave as Jack Crawford descended into the Inferno.
Two months later, with Abigail off to college in Germany, Will and Hannibal negotiate a tenuous life in coastal France, featuring an extra ghostly house pest and all the emotional baggage you might expect. Things come together and things fall apart in this gothic romance, Mizumono murder family (eventual) fix-it. Diverges from canon the night of the lamb dinner (the last supper).

Summary
When Will finds himself exhausted by an uninspired series of murders and the killer he's forced to empathize with, Hannibal presents an idea neither of them can resist: if Will can become anyone, why not be someone he enjoys? Each day for seven days of appointments, Will tries on a new personality.
They both get more than they bargained for.
