    Summary

    It’s been years since Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter have been presumed dead. Save for a handful of late night docu-drama specials, they’ve all but completely dropped out of the news cycle. It’s given them some degree of freedom—enough to move around their tiny town without looking over their shoulders, enough to be friendly with their neighbors. Enough for Will to tentatively reach out to his father with a burner phone and the number for a landline he’s sure has been disconnected, the one he knows by heart.

    Will's dad comes to visit them in Provence.

    Summary

    Ivan suggests they watch porn together. For some reason, Till agrees, and the videos Ivan picks are...weird. The actors bear a strange resemblance to himself and Ivan. It's inspiring, but not in the way Till anticipated it being.

    “Teenage boys watch pornography together all the time,” Ivan confirms. His expression doesn’t waver even a little bit. He is serious, isn’t he?

    “Can you at least say ‘porn’ like a normal person?” Till folds his legs up into his chair, propping his chin up on his knees. Ivan’s fingers fly over the keys, his mouse glides smoothly across the branded pad that came with the computer, and he opens his web browser. When he types ‘porn’ into the address bar, there are no suggested websites that appear. He either never watches it, or he clears his history every time like a creepy stalker freak.

    Ivan adds ‘ography’ to the end of the word before he hits enter. Till despises him. Really and truly, he hates Ivan.

    Summary

    Till considered himself an average teenager. So what if his dad labeled him a failure, his teachers declared him "a handful," and his few friends called him... well, "an acquired taste"? Till floated through life wholly unconcerned by anyone else's opinion.

    Until one morning, everything changed.

    Waking up, Till discovered vibrant, digital-looking numbers hovering like halos above everyone's heads. Disorienting? Absolutely. But the real shocker was the number crowning Ivan—his infuriatingly perfect frenemy.

    It shimmered an impossible 100%. And it was...pink?

    What were these numbers? Why was he cursed (or blessed?) with seeing them? And seriously—why was Ivan's at maximum capacity?!

    .  ⁺   . .  ⁺   .

    Ivan, meanwhile, was fascinated. Why was the boy he'd quietly watched for years suddenly avoiding his gaze?

     

    And was Till actually... blushing?

     

    Not that Ivan was complaining, of course.

    ____

    Or: The one where Till suddenly became aware of everyone’s affections—including his own.
