that's one way of not getting murdered
Mar. 2nd, 2018 11:39 amI was thinking about the NBC Hannibal series some more and that episode in Season 2 when he's choosing his dinner ingredients from the rolodex of the rude, and realized that what I want is a fic about one of Hannibal's victims-to-be unintentionally evading every attempt to kill them through sheer dumb luck. Look, that person may have intentionally given Hannibal decaf instead of regular coffee because they were in a bad mood that day (pretending for the sake of argument that Hannibal would actually go to a Starbucks), but that doesn't mean the person deserves to end up in Alanna's beer.
Let's say this person is Jenny the underpaid barista. Hannibal sabotages her car? Jenny decided to hitchhike and gets a ride before Hannibal can catch her. Hannibal breaks into her home and waits for the time he knows she gets home from the gym every night? Jenny unexpectedly has to fly to the other side of the country due to a family emergency. Hannibal waits outside the secluded side door at the gym that she always uses? Jenny canceled her membership that morning because she needs to save money to pay off her student loans.
By this time, it's the day of Hannibal's dinner party and Jenny (at least temporarily) escapes being on the menu.
