Summary
"I found myself feeling cold in a place familiar and yet unrecognizable to me. It smelled right, but it felt wrong. The woods were a comfort, the snow a trusted but temporary seasonal companion. Usually. But this was not usual."
---
This work begins (and will remain so for now!) as a retelling of Shiizakana (s02, ep09) wherein Hannibal is a vampire and Will is a werewolf.
Other characters will also be tweaked to fit into such an AU. (Freddie Lounds will be the world's most insufferable cryptid hunter on r/vampires-are-real, Jack is also a werewolf, etc.)

I just really wanted to make a Mad About You pun...JK!
I had a little urge to imagine what Will thinks about as he takes Hannibal off that bluff. Wondered what our emotional fave might think back on.

Summary
Some nights were, naturally, worse than others.
Nights where Frank laid in bed for so long, staring at the ceiling, that it made his heart start to race with anxiety and his back ache and ache and ache no matter how he positioned himself. Nights where his thoughts spiraled out into worst-case-scenarios that seemed so vivid and inevitable that he would have to get up and go to the bathroom, just to turn the light on and look at himself in the mirror to remember what was actually real.
Those were the nights when he wanted the pills again the most: alone in his guest bedroom, trying to wring sleep out of his body like the last few drops of water out of a dirty dishcloth.
He tried not to call Mel on nights like that. He did not always succeed.

Summary
They were friends.
And yeah, maybe the ring on his finger sort of burned when he looked at her sometimes, even though it was just for show, now.
It was just easier to let her keep thinking he was still married to Abby. Safer.
It raised less eyebrows about the nature of their friendship when the ring stayed on while he was at work, the weight on his finger reminding him not to say or do anything stupid.
It also made it a little less creepy when the pet names started slipping out.

Summary
Mel King was a creature of habit.
There was a specific sort of choreography to her life beyond the chaos of the Emergency Department. A carefully controlled routine, a color-coded calendar, a rigid set of rituals that kept her grounded enough to keep showing up day after day, to keep on doing the work that was required of her to save lives.
Everything was going fine for Mel. Her personal life was predictable, unexciting, and perfectly fulfilling, thank you very much.
Enter Frank Langdon, agent of chaos.
