Re: spoilers

Well, I've definitely read a few fics that have Hannibal going after only awful people, and okay, I did enjoy them :D And yes, the more time Will spends with Hannibal, the deeper he will sink.

But I still can't help believing in (or hoping for) the good in Will. I mean, he spent a whole three years apart from Hannibal, with the help of Molly's good influence, and did well. And I think the finale seemed very true to Will's character -- he was still straddling that fence, because he killed with Hannibal but also ended him.

Don't get me wrong though, I ship the hell out of it! But weirdly, I ship the doomed aspect of it, too.

That's okay! Even if you didn't ship them, no one has to ship Hannibal and Will and I readily acknowledge how fucked up the ship is (that's why I find it so compelling, tbh); it isn't for everyone.

I guess since we've seen so much of Will's struggle with his darkness, I'm fascinated at seeing how he could embrace it. He's fought it for so long, but in the finale he kills with Hannibal and realizes he enjoys it, and he thinks it's beautiful, and he knows if they survive he'll crave it so he tries to end things between them once and for all.

That is definitely Will making one last ditch effort to make things right, but I also find the idea of a Will who survives giving in to those desires really intriguing. (He did have that conversation with...er, himself in episode 2 about how "You can never really do the wrong thing". If he runs with the 'infinite universe' theory, well, the fact that he somehow isn't dead yet might help persuade him that what he does "doesn't matter". Like, "Well, the universe clearly doesn't want me dead, so I might as well enjoy my continued existence.")

I feel like there's always a doomed aspect to their relationship though. I mean, even if they stay together, even if they happily kill together for years and years without getting caught, the fact that Will has failed to fight off the darkness means Hannibal won. And...I guess you could see it as "This is who he always was, this is who he was meant to be" and maybe that's even true to some extent (as depressing as that is, I wouldn't 100% doubt it), but of course it's a sad ending for Will, even if it's a fascinating one.
