@istgtumlrifyoudothisonemoretime asked a question

if you havent watched silence of the lambs you should cuz it was how i imagined psych darling to be like lol. SPOILERS its abt a young fbi agent trying solve a series of murders, all while asking a caged hannibal for guidance. and honestly i saw SO MUCH of william in hannibal there. in one of my fav scenes, he gets her to confess a traumatic memory that ties to her ultimate desire to save a future victim which makes him rather fond of her. like THE WAY he stares at her in that scene is so creepy and yet the whole sequence of her venting is so comforting. thats exactly how i imagine will to be like : calm, polite,and kind but VERY INTENSE and creepy when he's observing you. also there is a scene that basically goes (hannibal) did jack crawford send you here again (clarice) no, i came here by myself (hannibal) people will say we're in love. and that just SCREAMS william and darling's dynamic. ugggh i love that movie

Okay so I have seen bits of this movie because I took a film class and how to write characters and when we were looking at forms of writing villains/insane characters my professor played these two clips along with a few more and just yes!

I have a wonderful visual now of his darling getting assigned by Paterson to another, a bit more, urgent case temporarily when she begins to piece everything together. She knows it is a diversion but she really does not have much of a choice if she does not want to get fired from her position in Scotland Yard, so she has to accept it.

While it is a very much legitimate case she of course was picked for it because it would send her back to Durham and back to her old school, a series of serial disappearances of students as well a few staff members. She has to go around to question the people who had connections to the missing people, which naturally includes William who was the mathematics professor of one of the victims. So William just has to wait for her to walk back into his classroom to interview him like she did when they first met. There is clear forced act of politenesses when she questions him as he sits at his desk and it does not take much for her to tell that he is not involved due to the sudden change of case right when she was getting close. She is eager to get out of there when she is done only for when she is reaching for the door handle she can hear William ask her if she needs his help and she leaves without giving him a response.

She hits dead end after dead end and time is running out so she really has no choice but to go back to him for help now that the situation is getting desperate. He is more than happy to give her his help but he never gives her the direct answer, exactly how a professor would let his student learn and figure out the answer themselves but giving them a nudge in the right direction. Then for a moment she almost forgot that he is the Lord of Crime.

She finishes her case soon enough with the help of William and she has to go back to London and her more important case which is revolving around William. She returns back to London and gives her report and files any paperwork necessary. It is late when she returns to apartment and she is absolutely ready to just fall asleep that she does not even bother to check her desk where she left her note on the Lord of Crime case that is absent from where she left it and does not even notices the man who sits down on the edge of her bed when she finally falls asleep, smiling down at her.
