Summary
When Will opens Hannibal's letter, it wakes something primal locked inside of him. He doesn't understand it, but what he does know is that he has to go to Baltimore hospital for the criminally insane, and he has to go now.
Dear Will. He could still see the words, written in the curly elegance of Hannibal's hand, burning behind his eyelids. He breathed deeply through his nose to try and calm the unsteady flutter of his heart. A deep breath. One that clawed at his nose, one that penetrated his nostrils like a liquid, a smothering sting he felt intruding behind his eyes.
One. Deep. Breath.
And then it took him.

Summary
"It's understandable for you to empathize with the victim as well, when you step in the mind of a killer," Hannibal said. "Fear, pain, violation, and death. Repeating the fantasy in the safety of your head so that you can regain control over the experience."
"My head doesn't feel very safe," Will muttered.
Hannibal inclined his head. "The methods we use to protect ourselves from monsters can become monstrous in their own right. Your mind seeks to protect you when you are overwhelmed, and maybe you see yourself as a victim in order to prevent yourself from actually becoming one."
"Or to prevent myself from becoming the killer."
"The two become one. If you destroy yourself, you cannot hurt others, and similarly, no one can hurt you."

Summary
Will Graham is hunting a monster.
When fate and circumstance bring him into the path of Doctor Hannibal Lecter, Will descends beneath the surface of high society in search of the murderer he seeks. But the deeper their relationship gets, the muddier the waters grow—the desire for understanding is a desperate hunger that lives inside them both.
For hidden inside Will is the shadow of… something. It sees Hannibal’s secrets, hemorrhages the true intent of the Chesapeake Ripper’s crimes via an anonymous website: the only one who has ever seen, ever understood. It's an insight that presents itself alongside Will’s genderfluid nature, shifting from one day to the next.
With his whole world on one side and a brand new life on the other, Will balances on a thread as thin and translucent as fishing line, a dazzling lure. A mutual potential lives between them that might prove too irresistible for Hannibal to ignore—
—and one sharp slice may be enough to cut bait.

Summary
When Hannibal met Will Graham (the man who had, three years prior, been mistaken for the Chesapeake Ripper), he expected amusement. What he got was his first taste of obsession. Dark and bitter in the back of his throat but achingly sweet on the tongue. He knew at once that this feeling, this Man, would consume him.
And Hannibal would consume Will right back.
