Before Will Graham fell under Hannibal's spell, he had been preying on another person mere months before being contacted by the FBI. Arabella Bradbury found herself enamoured by the charming psychiatrist until his darkness beckoned and bewitched her. She finds herself becoming lost to terror and confusion. (note: this story does acknowledge and ship Hannigram. I could not write a story and just deny it's existence. This is a short story which takes places before Will meets Hannibal.) Title is inspired/ derived from the Baudelaire Poem 'Passion and the Skull' or L'Amour et le crâne.
