So I watched half of Hannibal season 2 over yesterday

And I’ve come to the conclusion that the perfect time for Hannigram to even be canonically initiated is right after Will starts attending therapy sessions with Hannibal again. In all of my rps it starts out more in season one and Will is innocent, nervous, falling for Hannibal before he realizes what he really is. But I’ve realized that if the show were to ever actually go toward a physically involved relationship with Will and Hannibal, it could have worked so easily with little to no changes in the script right around episode seven. Because as viewers, we would suspect that this is Will trying to get Hannibal ‘hooked’ and he is the ‘bait.’ Hannibal would not be against the idea of being intimately involved with Will but he would be cautious. Will tried to kill him, after all. And as viewers, we would immediately think ‘this is a trap. Will is doing this to trap him.’ This would also be used as a small weapon against Alana because of her lack of trust in Will. They wouldn’t keep it silent, not for long. Can you imagine Alana approaching Will, knocking on his door to ask ‘what are you doing?’ because why oh why would the man who tried to kill Hannibal even want to sleep with him? Sexuality isn’t a factor here, this is a game. Will is playing a game and the nights he spends curled up in Hannibal’s bed suddenly take a turn around the time Randell appears. Hannibal questions Will’s motives and Alana would be furious at Hannibal, wondering why he would agree to sleep with Will if they had both ‘buried him’ together. But the entire time we don’t know Will’s intentions. They talk about this in therapy and Will distances himself when Hannibal asks if he still imagines killing him. Randell is sent to kill him and it is only after Will delivers the body to his home he realizes he is slipping deeper in to this. The sex becomes more personal, his trust grows, he is transforming and it delights Hannibal to no end. As an audience we are left wondering how real this is and where Will’s heart really lies and when the final episode comes around, it hurts even worse.
