Best amnesiac Hannibal fics
Emergency Contact by mouemouth
Summary: Takes place somewhere in S2 but the timeline is fluid and has been altered to suit my purposes. Basically Hannibal has amnesia and forgets he's a cannibal and falls in love with Will at first sight, again.
Envy’s notes: The code to Hannibal’s phone is the day he met Will and that’s so romantic I just can’t-
“What- what about that church in Italy?”
“The Norman Chapel? Unlikely.” Hannibal laced his fingers together and looked up at Will who had come to hover over his shoulder while he sat at the desk attempting to unlock his phone. He likes Will being close like this. Hannibal smiles, “Please, Will,” he tries again, “What was the date when we first met?”
Will bit his lip nervously, did he really want to hinge his only chance at procuring hard evidence against the Chesapeake Ripper on an amnesiac’s guess? Only one way to find out.
Will sighed heavily, “April 4th.”

Summary: The heart monitor connected to Hannibal makes a sudden, unrhythmical beep the moment Will enters through the door.
"You must forgive me for my bluntness, but are we in a romantic relationship?" Hannibal asks and Will isn't exactly sure how to answer that. He can't technically say no, but honestly, bloody courtship may be a more proper name for it.
While Hannibal suffers from a case of amnesia, Will puts a stop to the honey-trap plan to take care of him.
Envy’s notes: This is the first thing Hannibal says to Will when seeing him and it got me hooked. Why is Hannibal so romantic when he’s got amnesia? Why can’t he be like this all the time??
“Your aftershave is atrocious.”
And Will, because he already has given up on grasping a single scrap of normalcy in his fucked up life, laughs.
“It’s not–” Will chuckles, covering his smile with his hand, breathing, trying to center himself. “It’s not the first time you tell me that.”
“For as terrible as your aftershave is,” Dr. Lecter pauses. His breathing is heavier than usual and he lowers his gaze to the floor for a second, taking the time to recover before locking his eyes with Will’s again. “I find it impossibly endearing.”
Also, Will buys Hannibal expensive food and takes it to the hospital and then Hannibal shares the food with him because he gets the feeling Will won’t eat otherwise. How sweet is that?

Summary: What if Hannibal forgot he was a cannibalistic serial killer?
Envy’s notes: Takes place early in the series, before Hannibal kills Tobias. Hannibal tells Will he has encephalitis (it takes Hannibal losing his memory to be a decent friend, I guess XD).
Lecter looks at the man and his nostrils sense a sweet feverish scent. He knows he smelt it before. And it’s a bad sign, a symptom of…
“Encephalitis” Hannibal murmurs.
“You need to see a doctor, a neurologist. Your brain is inflamed”
“How do you…?” Will massages his temples “Do you remember all this or…?”
Can you imagine what Bedelia is thinking here? Loses his memory and still, all he can talk about is Will Graham.
“Have I ever mentioned Will Graham to you?” he asks nevertheless; he’s too curious to resist.
She smiles in a way he knows he has. Can he simply ask what he’s told her about the man?
“How would you…describe my feelings about him?”

Summary: “Hello,” Will said. He wanted to say something else, something to convey his relief at Hannibal being alive, being okay, but he didn’t know what to say.
“Hello,” Hannibal responded. His eyes were bright. “You are very beautiful.”
Envy’s notes: Hannibal assumes Will is his husband and is absolutely smitten.
“Are you my husband?”
Will chocked on thin air. “What makes you say that?”
Hannibal hummed. “You’ve brought me food,” the doctor said, “from a medium to high-quality restaurant, if my sense of smell is accurate. This implies you know me well enough to know of my dislikes, and care enough to go through the effort of obtaining it for me. Your scent is familiar – you were here, before. You are an attractive man–”

Okay I'm assuming most fannibals have thought of or seen posts talking about "how does Hannibal have time for literally everything he does (murder, work, cooking, driving, manipulations, etc.)" and I was just sitting here thinking, "yeah how does he do all that but specifically when does he get household chores done? This man has a big house. When does he mop the floors and dust his samurai armor and scrub his toilets?" Which just got me thinking, what if Hannibal Lecter has a housekeeper?
Like, we see he has the money to hire a bunch of extra chefs and waiters for his dinner parties, so I don't know why a housekeeper wouldn't be acceptable. I can see him having one and telling them to stay out of the pantry because he's meticulous about his food storage or something (but obviously he just doesn't want them finding the murder basement) but just imagine the possibilities.
What if the housekeeper was the only one at the house one of the times Abigail escaped the hospital in season 1?
What if the housekeeper overheard one of Hannibal's dinners (like imagine they overheard the dinner that Alana, Hannibal, and Will have in season 2 talking about boundaries and relationships and all that)?
I'm just imagining all the possibilities of experiencing the things that happen in NBC Hannibal from some random mundane person's point of view.
