*SEASON 3 COMPLETE* Cuts Unscene is a Hannigram fan fiction challenge - to write one scene for each episode of the series where Will and Hannibal have some kind of intimate interaction that builds their romantic connection. These stories operate on the concept that they were cut from the original episodes, and the attempt is to make them fit into the plot in ways that are as plausible as possible while still having a good ol' time writing them. These pieces do their best to fit within canon and plausibility. Want to have some serious fun? Watch the episode, then pause it when the "deleted scene occurs." Then read, enjoy, and start the episode again. Definitely not required, but if you're considering a re-watch, now's the perfect time. Then you can try and read subtext into other scenes in the show assuming that the deleted scene wasn't deleted :) Update: In writing the first episode, I am suddenly writing first person POV from Hannibal, which is a departure from the previous 2 seasons! Season 3 would not be happening if it wasn't for the wonderful, sweet Fannibals who left comments on the season 1-2 episodes. THANK YOU! As always, Bon Appétit, and hannigram forever.

Seasons 1-3 of Cuts Unscene was a challenge to write one "deleted scene" per episode where Will and Hannibal built their romantic connection. The idea was that they would be canon as possible, and that you can watch the episode and read the fic at the right time and it would seem like a real outtake. Season 3 is over. Time for a Season 4 based on the world built by the "cuts unscene" from seasons 1-3 while also wrapping up plots left from the original series. As it's practically canon that we begin in Cuba (according to Bryan) we shall open there, but there is much more in store. STAY TUNED!

Asylum of Desire is a tale of obsession, manipulation, and surrender-a slow-burning descent into madness that asks how far the mind can twist before it finally breaks. Will Graham was supposed to be the FBI's best weapon-brilliant, broken, but loyal. Dr. Hannibal Lecter was meant to be his guide, his anchor, his salvation. Instead, he became something far more dangerous. What began as therapy became seduction. What began as profiling became performance. As gruesome murders shake the nation, Will and Hannibal dance behind the curtain-partners in thought, in violence, and in something far more intimate. But not everyone is blind to the truth. Alana Bloom sees cracks in the illusion. Frederick Chilton is determined to expose them-if only to save himself. Clarice Starling is watching from the shadows, following a trail of blood the Bureau refuses to believe in. And Jack Crawford? He still thinks he's in control. As bodies pile up and the mask begins to slip, Will must confront the terrifying truth: the line between predator and partner was never as clear as he hoped. And maybe it's already far too late to turn back. The hunt has become a courtship. The killer, a kindred spirit. And the lamb? He's learned to sharpen his teeth.

The dark desires of Will Graham's mind emerge long before the killing of Garrett Jacob Hobbs, and by the time he comes into contact with Dr. Hannibal Lecter, the suppressed cravings within him are more than ready to be ignited. Hannigram, canon divergence AU. Warnings inside.

"Is it going to last?" The older man asked softly as his eyes turned into light when crashed with the dark depths of ocean waters; when splashed by that enormous wave of blueness he had come to adore so much. "You?" The brunet enquired with a crack in his voice, which could be a sign of meaningless quavering or a thunder hidden underneath the crack, waiting for a friendly storm in his awakened darkness. "You and I. The continuum of your crime and my time of dying," Hannibal answered quietly.
