Hey guys!
I have a 3-hour flight coming up with zero internet, so I need to download a bunch of Hannigram fics to get me through it.
I’ve already read most of the popular/classic ones, so I’m really looking for hidden gems or underrated recs!

Here’s what I’m after:
- Setting: Canon-compliant (Post-Fall or S3 vibes preferred)
- Pacing: Somewhere in the middle. Not an insanely slow burn, but not super rushed either. Just a plot that hooks you right from chapter 1.
- Length: Anything works! Either medium-length multi-chapter fics or a bunch of shorter ones so I can swap between them during the trip.

- Vibe & Tropes:
I want an emotional rollercoaster,fics that will ruin me and make me feel everything (positive and negative), but also give me insane butterflies when they get soft!
Intense protection/possessiveness over each other, genuine care, post-fall caretaking (Hannibal taking care of Will after the drop is top tier), jealousy, and a really good first kiss.

P.S. Sorry for using bullet points lol, I just wanted to organize my thoughts so people wouldn't scroll past! 😭
Would super appreciate any recs that fit this! Airplane boredom is real. Thanks in advance!

I want a Hannibal/Will fanfic where they’re genuinely sweet together and have a healthy, affectionate relationship.
Then, completely out of nowhere, they get into an argument.
I don’t want the fight to turn into weeks of misery or both of them suffering in silence. Instead, I want the kind of argument where Hannibal is the one who tries to make things right.
I love seeing him subtly or openly trying to win Will over again—being patient, attentive, maybe a little apologetic in his own Hannibal way—until Will eventually softens. I want comfort, tenderness, and reconciliation more than angst.
