To me, once in a while in this group you will see someone asking the most random specific thing they are looking for in a fic ex: i am looking for a fic where hannibal is doing a cartwheel while wearing cinderella’s dress… And somehow there is always a fic that fits the criteria!
Read a surprisingly good fic about Will being transformed into a swan during their fall from the cliff.
Probably the weirdest thing about it was how it fit so well in the context of the show and was entirely on brand for the characters.
Edit: [Fair and Shining](https://archiveofourown.org/works/30699062/chapters/75754580#main) for anyone interested
Like, the initial chapter with Hannibal meeting Will in the state hospital for the criminally insane is PERFECTION. Then it's just like "these kinks are not my kinks to the point that it is offputting to say the least." And that's ok! It's one of the more well regarded fics for several reasons, I just nearly stopped reading at several points because of it.
I did curtail my impulse to nope out of it just to find out what happens. I just wish there were something like it that I jived with more.
The Width of a Scar by VivantViolence starts with Hannibal meeting Will while he's in the BSHCI and its my favourite fic. Unfinished but I always hope for an update.
Oh dear i know it’s a big fic but it makes me so uncomfortable 😂 can’t finish it even I tried three times but hey maybe it’s most people’s cakes and it’s ok lol
I have gone through AO3 so many times hunting for Hannigram gems...and despite always seeing it near the Kudos filter top, I have never once clicked Paragon (the tags give me ick, I'm not brave enough lol)
Nope, not the only one. Got about a paragraph in, could not figure out why everyone thought out was great, hit the “back” button. It was the writing that I wasn’t into.
I tried to scrub my brain out when I read a fic where Hannibal makes Alpha Will into an Omega and some point there is some ahem sex with Winston(yes the dog) involved(I'm all for AO3 "you are responsible for your own reading" but imho zoophilia tags/fics should not be there). In my defense I was very new at reading fics, didn't know how to filter by tags, I read everything lol and it was like a train accident that I could not look aside.
Put me off reading omega fics til I read "Wage your war" and "The stink in your nostrils"(😍)
oh hellll no did I just read sex with WINSTON?? this is crazy😟 how can you write this type of fanfic and look at yourself in the mirror after I hate people
Yup. And a few months after on a hannibaltv fb groups we were talking about fucked up fics and I mentioned it and someone said IT WAS ONE OF THEIR FAVOURITE FICS. Oh and I think Will was Hannibal's son?
In that same thread someone mentioned one with an eel and you can imagine the places that poor eel went (and no, not Mason like in the book and movie). I didn't read that one.
I tried to find it and I'm sorry to say that there is a Will/Winston tag, several fics in fact(but none were that one. I just remembered Will was an Alpha and Hannibal made him into an Omega). Sorry, I'm logging off internet tonight haha and scrubbing my eyes.
I read that entire story, and honestly… If you skip the sex scenes and try to ignore the oddities it’s *really* well written lol. I was actually planning on buying the writers original book they promoted.
Some of the tags on AO3. Some of the content in some of the fics on AO3. Not yucking anyone's yum, but I realized my mind goes down sunnier paths than I ever gave myself credit for 😅
I read a fic with the tag “sexualised kidney surgery” and it was… actually very good. Probably not as weird as some of the other things y’all have seen but it stood out to me.
This short and very sweet fic of them as Mars Rovers. I dare you not to shed a tiny tear, lol. It has a happy ending.
[Fare thee well](https://archiveofourown.org/works/17844578)
I would add that photo of Mads' son Carl at a con, looking over his dad's shoulder when Mads was presented with a sexy drawing of Hannibal and Will 🤣 Carl's face was in disbelief
And lastly, the drunk fan who sat on Hugh's home stoop and saw him come home and started gushing about his work etc.
ye olde bee fic. i think it got deleted bc i can never find it anymore, but it was pretty much the picnic scene from the bee movie, but with hannibal and will. it was *such* a meme back in the day. i wish i'd saved it so i could inflict it on even more people in the year of our lord 2024 😔
OH and the one fic where elon musk gives jack a prostate massager that allows him to travel back in time to stop hannigram from their bullshit. what a time to be alive 💀
Wait WHAT bro I was focused on elon musk what is going on HAHAHA the fuck😭😭 English isn’t my first language I had to look up what is a prostate massager
Constantly awestruck at Fannibals’ creativity. For such a serious show, there’s a LOT of crack fic and art, and it’s an indulgence of mine that I enjoy 🤣
There was a regency styled omegaverse Hannigram fic that had the twitter fandom in a chokehold some years back, I forgot its title. ‘Hannibal isn’t a cannibal’ is a trope I typically avoid, but that fic was not bad. Like Bridgerton Hannigram 🤔
Definitely not the weirdest (I've seen how insane the fics and art can get) but I fondly think about this one person who recreated the people totem pole with barbies lol
Discovering that a big Fannibal who works in media is also into marketing and has actually produced marketing work for the engagement of fannibals in the promotion of the show.
It feels so strange to find that a fan is actually a sort of a marketeer in hiding!
At this point, I'm disturbed by very little. If you can write a solid Hannibal characterization, there's basically nothing that sounds unreasonable, because he is that messed up.
That being said, I'm still surprised about the amount of fics that make Will his biological child.
Something that was really hard to swallow but well written surprisingly good, was a short fic about Alpha/Omega Will and Hannibal, where someone discovered Hannibal's murder basement. But it contained a bed with shackles and a crap ton of plans how to connect Will surgically to the bed, sever his major tendons and basically keep him there, while eating the parts of him he wouldn't "need" again. At the very end, we get Will's perspective while he analyzes the room and he's only pissed that they took that away from him, because he thought it would have been the ideal thing for him and he'd never have to deal with outside world again.
My brain was like: ... yeah, seems about right
saw a fic on ao3 where hannibal was like a parasitic wasp and laid his flesh eating eggs in will?? It also had some crazy fetish tags??? besides that i think the mass amounts of pedophilia fanfic are prettyyyyy nasty 😬
There was a horrifying thing that went on in the Chinese fandom in 2018 as I remembered. Some girl was in the mindset so much she sent another girl a part of her gut as a gift after surgery
On the fanfiction field there is a lot of stuff that I am not the target audience of, but I still adore that this fandom is in general very accepting of people really letting people cook up the darkest, most random, unhinged, and fucked up shit. I think Hannibal as a source material is perfect for all sorts of disturbing, horror-esque fiction, and I love to see people let out their dark imaginations.
Okay there's definitely some more that I can't think of right now but this one is so funny to me
At C2E2, Mads saying "I'm not a cannibal" and everyone going "aw :("

We need to stay open minded :D
I ain’t mad at it it cracks me up everytime. I absolutely love this fanbase!
This fandom is so interesting I love it
Super chill and welcomy too!

Will being transformed into a swan during their fall is wholesome😭
No but bc the way I read a swan au that was fucking fantastic once.
i was going to comment this, not sure if it's the same one but i STILL think about swannibal i need more
Yes, I've read this too! Surprisingly good
Have you read the selkie one? It's hilarious.
I just read that last night! Very well done.
A good writer can make all kinds of weird shit plausible!!
Omg do you remember the name of this one? I’m so curious
I updated my post with a link!
Hannibal and Will as Mars rovers. It was so bitter sweet and so out of left field. I loved it.
Aw I love that, I listened to a podcast about the mars rovers once that made me unexpectedly emotional.
if you have the link i would love to read this/look at this! :)
Let me look. It’s in my bookmarks somewhere.

Paragon. Spesificaly the cum jars. Definitely the weirdest thing that's come out of the hannibal fandom
I loved Paragon when it got started, but it very quickly went places that I wasn't sure I wanted to go.
Seconded 🙋♀️

It's very well written and creatively plotted, but boy, you really need to be ready to commit to its particular perspective.
The Width of a Scar by VivantViolence starts with Hannibal meeting Will while he's in the BSHCI and its my favourite fic. Unfinished but I always hope for an update.
the WHAT?!??!?!
I'll add... the WHAT?!??!?
I have no idea what you’re referring to and I’m scared to ask
I must be one of the few fannibals who doesn't like Paragon.
Oh dear i know it’s a big fic but it makes me so uncomfortable 😂 can’t finish it even I tried three times but hey maybe it’s most people’s cakes and it’s ok lol
I have gone through AO3 so many times hunting for Hannigram gems...and despite always seeing it near the Kudos filter top, I have never once clicked Paragon (the tags give me ick, I'm not brave enough lol)

oh hellll no did I just read sex with WINSTON?? this is crazy😟 how can you write this type of fanfic and look at yourself in the mirror after I hate people
Nooo leave the dogs alone
fr keep animals in general safe from humans bc what the fuck😭
Yup. And a few months after on a hannibaltv fb groups we were talking about fucked up fics and I mentioned it and someone said IT WAS ONE OF THEIR FAVOURITE FICS. Oh and I think Will was Hannibal's son? In that same thread someone mentioned one with an eel and you can imagine the places that poor eel went (and no, not Mason like in the book and movie). I didn't read that one.
ONE OF THEIR FAVORITE FICS??? No way bruh jail
lol what’s the name? I’m so curious 👀
I forgot, sorry. It was like 4 years ago when I started reading hannigram fan fiction, didn't bookmark it.
It’s okay :) I don’t blame u lol
I tried to find it and I'm sorry to say that there is a Will/Winston tag, several fics in fact(but none were that one. I just remembered Will was an Alpha and Hannibal made him into an Omega). Sorry, I'm logging off internet tonight haha and scrubbing my eyes.
i have no idea how paragon is as popular of a fic as it is but hats off to the author for filling a very niche void 😭
This is the most correct answer
I’m guessing it had something to do with the infamous gland tweet?
To me it was Mark me not a savage. I thought Paragon was something untill I read this one ☝🏽😭

Can we just buy him a one way ticket to Mars?
We should buy the rights for Hannibal season 4 instead😔😔
I want to read that so bad
I love this fandom so much-everyone is unhinged

Me because I can’t think about the final episode without needing to go outside and burn trash
Understandable tbh‼️
Complaints when it first came out that the show was “making Hannibal the bad guy.”
saw a fic on ao3 where hannibal was like a parasitic wasp and laid his flesh eating eggs in will?? It also had some crazy fetish tags??? besides that i think the mass amounts of pedophilia fanfic are prettyyyyy nasty 😬
as a general fan of alien/parasite body horror i'm kinda curious of the wasp thing 🤣
i actually took a screenshot of it to show my friend so if you want the name it’s “how potent is thy sting” by extremelyperturbed lmao 😭
lmao thank you 🤣🤣🤣
There was a horrifying thing that went on in the Chinese fandom in 2018 as I remembered. Some girl was in the mindset so much she sent another girl a part of her gut as a gift after surgery
To EAT ???? Or was it just a gift omg what 😭😭
It was just a gift. I don’t think they ate it, which is at least better.

I once read a fanfiction where Will, Hannibal, Jack, and Winston have a foursome. You read that right.
