I just found out one of my favorite AO3 authors of all time is a fucking neurosurgeon which was surprising initially just because I often forget AO3 writers are real people and not smut angels sent down from the heavens to make us feel alive, but in hindsight it makes perfect sense.

they are a fucking genius so. they just apply that genius to multiple fields.

I do feel closer to Hannibal here. God only knows where I’d be without him.

In the Depths of the Other

"It was easier to love him when he didn’t need to worry about being loved back. It wasn’t the rejection, but the reciprocation. The validation and acceptance of his affections was as unheard of as the love itself. It was wrong to love Hannibal. Not just because of his crimes, his past, and his violence. Will never put much thought into just how much decades of repression and fear could affect him. How even after all this time, miles and lifetimes away from all those who made him feel unsafe and unwelcome, he’d still be struggling with what he wanted most. How was it easier to accept his own love for bloodshed than love for another man?"
