prompt: demonic regression therapy

hannibal dies (in a universe where he never met will and just wound up catching his own death eventually by uhhh losing some kind of battle with another serial killer or something)

in the afterlife, all the Bad People are given to demons who will keep tormenting/teaching them until they learn how to be Good People

hannibal is quite disappointed to discover that life goes on after death because he was sort of hoping to just. cease existing. and also he's likely to be Punished for eternity, obviously, so he's not looking forward to that.

will is his assigned demon. hannibal tells him that it's probably a lost cause because he doesn't feel remorse for what he did in life and he doesn't expect suffering will change that—he already suffered in life, and that didn't turn him into a good person. what hannibal doesn't realize is that will is always the one given the Special Cases, and he can almost always find a way.

some time later, will asks hannibal if he wants to see mischa. hannibal gets angry, tells will not to torment him. obviously hannibal desperately wants to see her, but he also knows that he can never see her again, and even if he could, she wouldn't recognize him. she would want her brother back, but her brother died with her in the wilderness, and the hannibal that lived on was never the same.

but. will says "that boy didn't die, he's still in you. every part of her brother is still buried in you. you could become him again."

"you cannot rewind time," hannibal counters, "not even in the afterlife."

"no," will agrees. "but you could… regress. i could help you."

anyway supernatural sort–of–coerced age–regression therapy plus a demon will who starts getting way too close to his patient 🙂

some extra bits:

demons arent necessarily bad in this verse its just that will is the most empathic among them so he's the best at dealing with the very difficult souls

its… kind of a Good Place AU?

i kind of like the idea of hannibal alone in a room bound to a chair with his head locked in a forward position

behind him, will enters. says hello. "i think i might have found a way to motivate you, hannibal."

and then hannibal hears "annibal?" for the first time in forty years and all he wants to do is see her but he cant

he thrashes around in the chair trying to turn around but he cant

and then will tells mischa she did a good job and theyll see her later

also the other cool thing about regression in this space is that it's a supernatural space so regression can also affect the body's age if you want it to. little hannibal could be in a body to match.

hannibal doesnt even realize its happening until will comes in to comfort him during his panic attack and hannibal reaches for him and sees his own small hand... then bursts into sobs and buries his face against will's body

that tonal shift between Meet The Grahams and Not Like Us is absolutely wild to me in hindsight. Plus it felt like a direct response to all the people sleeping on Kdot's banger/bop credentials. Just picturing everyone crying on the floor in despair from MTG, only for Kdot to burst through the wall like the kool aid man yelling "YOU MUHFUCKAS SAID YOU WANTED TO DANCE, GET UP NIGGAS, LETS DANCE"

"He just needs therapy." His therapist needs therapy now. He needs exorcism.

When they're supposed to be working against each other, but they can't help making out in the progress...

the hottest trait a fictional character can have is a pair of antlers. the second one is being strange and offputting.

Going back to what this account started as 5ish years ago: Gorillaz and Hannibal 

(Hannibal gave Will the hicky btw 🤭🤭🤭)

The Angel and his Temptor

I watched good omens for the 20 billionth time and was like, "huh...i should draw hanigram in an angle/demon au"

So here is Hannibal, a demon that follows no one, not even Lucifer, becoming a creature of his own design, far beyond God's will.

And William, an Angel that shouldn't exist, burdened with the ability to see God's creations as no other beings can, a fledgling of his own becoming.
