The lights are dim, and the setting sun reflects red into the training room. Abigail twists, turns and hits out, and Hannibal meets her halfway. It's their own dance, flowing and staccato, and he pushes her to the floor and stops, an arm across her chest and another wrapped around her knee.

"What is your problem?" he asks.

Abigail struggles beneath him; flexes her muscles and inhales dust: coughs. He watches the patterns the dust forms as it dances in the fading sunlight; watches her pulse as it beats below her skin; watches the sweat beading on her forehead.

"You," she says, and heaves. He doesn't budge. "Get off me!" she yells.

"Been a while since I pinned you, Whistler," he says. "You're distracted."

"I'm fine," she says. Her voice is all timbers, and he wonders if perhaps she's sick. Hannibal loosens his grip and she rolls; mistakes his friendship for weakness as she aims for his knee.

She misses.

"Stop fighting," he says, from an arm's length away, but what he really means is, tell me the truth.

"You wanted to spar," she replies, and he knows she misunderstood.

The light trims her hair and for a second, just a second, Hannibal sees ghosts and ashes where there are none. He blinks; swallows and closes his eyes but he can still see her, everything she is and everything he wants.

He takes her for what she is, and lets her leave when she turns to go.

He's optimistic. There will be other chances.

I like his optimism. Lee would not be that lucky.

Lee's penis keeps getting rejected, is his problem.

HA!!

now you must write for this fandom forever. i will keep writing to you, harrassing you night and day, demanding more and more fic, because yours is always so good, and because i am too tired to write more at the moment as i am knocked up and lazy.

"Stop fighting," he says, from an arm's length away, but what he really means is, tell me the truth.

"You wanted to spar," she replies, and he knows she misunderstood.


and also

but he can still see her, everything she is and everything he wants.

*dies*
