I'm seeing a lot of fics with title "Home is where the heart is", and it's usually fluff, sometimes painful angst but with a happy ending. Overall, fics with this title are warm.
What if there is a fic with this title... But it's from NBC Hannibal Fandom. And the house is a mansionette in Florence Italy. We see a happy family, Will Graham, Hannibal Lecter, and a girl named Abigail Hobbs. Abigail is in college, Will is a fisherman, and Hannibal Lecter is a professor and a museum curator. They eat together, shop together, dine out with laughters from Abigail's college adventures. Beautiful beautiful family.
But behind closed doors, there is tension. There is anxiety. Will Graham is constantly anxious of Hannibal. Scared when he is going to kill them and make them tonight's dinner. He's scared for his daughter, who is obviously a hostage for his obedience. "As long as I behave, play house with Dr. Lecter, my daughter will live." Hannibal Lecter is depressed of Will's acting, he really thought they would be family, but he realized Will is just behaving for survival's sake. He loves Will, he truly does, but the man never felt it. He still think of him as a monster. Abigail Hobbs is fine. Except that she's not Abigail Hobbs. Her parents were murdered and became lasagna for acting 'uncivilized' in the museum once. Her father shouting that he doesn't get the arts, and her mother laughing loudly at the nude portraits of Persephone. She doesn't want to be lasagna, so she must act civilized, accept that her name from now on is Abigail Hobbs, and be a perfect daughter for man named Will Graham to adore. They're better than her parents anyway. She just needs to play house. It's easy! She's fine! Fine. Fine. Fine.
