    Summary

    It hurts.

    Art had come to forget. Not to remember.

    “I’m sorry,” he begins, much more mellow now. “I had a shit day and I read the whole thing wrong.”

    “No no no no,” he shakes his hands placatingly in front of him, smiling even wider now. “You didn’t. I’m Patrick.”

    Art gives him a polite smile in return, “Art.”

    “You certainly are,” Patrick murmurs.

     

    or

     

    At the height of his success in Stanford, Art Donaldson receives a career-ending knee injury. A few years later, he meets Patrick, his former opponent and a down-on-his-passion tennis player.

    Summary

    Patrick was coming to visit for the Pepperdine match, Tashi had told him.

    She suggested that they all get dinner together or hang out, and Art had smiled and nodded, concealing the inner roiling feeling in his gut at the idea that Patrick was there just to visit her, though he knew that Patrick wouldn’t ignore him the whole time.

    “Yeah, we’ll have to get together,” Art agreed, and stabbed his fork into his salad with a bit more force than necessary.

    Summary

    “La Belle Dame Sans Merci.” Will recites breathlessly.

    Hannibal lets out a pleased hum. “The painting is a rather whimsical rendition of the muse. Keats’ poem depicts a wretched end for the knight where he awakens alone in the field, abandoned by the love of his life, whereas Dicksee’s work focuses on the maiden’s affection and the knight’s surrender to his own heart. Everything he knows and feels, it all changes when he sees her for the first time."

    Hannibal leaves his sketchbook in Will's car. He can't stop himself from looking inside, from wanting to know, but he never expected every drawing to be of him.

    Summary

    “There exists religions, Will,” Hannibal begins slowly, voice rougher than Will has ever heard it, “That believe lust is the root of all evil… And is worse than murder.”

    Will closes his eyes, exhaling slow and quiet as Hannibal traces his fingers up the length of his sternum, tentatively measuring him up. Will shivers despite the warmth of the room, wetting his lips.

    “If that were true… And you were given the opportunity… Would you still pray at my altar? Rejoice in your evil roots?”

    ~

    OR: Will Graham finally allows himself to have what he wants before it’s too late.
