Title: Les Fleurs Du Mal

Length: 6710 words
Chapters: 6/? | previous: 1 2, 3, 4, 5
Fandoms: Doctor Who, NBC's Hannibal
Rating: Mature
Chapter warnings: (Highlight for chapter spoilers) should I even bother mentioning cannibalism at this point? It’s pretty much implied with the fandom. Implied stabbing. Possible paranoia fuel.
Characters: Seventh Doctor, Ace McShane, Hannibal Lecter, Will Graham, ensemble cast

Summary: An unexpected detour leads to the Doctor and Ace teaming up with the FBI to investigate a series of disturbingly specific floral-themed murders. But with Ace's increasingly strange dreams, a hyper-empathetic consultant who can't seem to empathize quite so well any more, and one Doctor Hannibal Lecter in the mix, the murders may be the least of their problems...

Notes: Hello again - it's been 10+ months and I'm ready to make some characters suffer. Thank you to Jane for the marvelous meticulous beta work, as always, and to Jaybird for patiently sitting through me talking at lighting pace about the end section. Hopefully I can get back into a somewhat regular posting schedule soon - for this and other fics as well!

( “Miss McShane,” Hannibal said, sounding somewhat surprised... )

Chapter warnings: (Highlight for chapter spoilers) implied cannibalism, major character being poisoned rather badly, coughing up blood, implied hallucinations.

Notes: I decided to stop worrying about details and just post it. With the mindframe I'm in currently, that's the most stress-free thing I can do - which means it isn't as coherent/polished as it could be, but I hope people will enjoy it nonetheless. That's probably going to be the case for the rest of the fic.

Also I mayyyy have gone overboard with the cannibal puns. Whoops. Oh well.

Notes: Jane, if you're reading this, please come back - I miss your editing skills so much. I've resorted to switching the font over to Comic Sans and scouring it, panicked, in your absence! (Just joking. Well, I have been doing Comic Sans, but take your time.)
On a slightly more serious note, we're now getting in the stuff I've been excited to share!! More coming soon, I hope.

Notes: This chapter gave me an extraordinary amount of trouble, and as such may not be up to the quality of the rest of the fic. Sorry about that - bridging sections always tends to make me want to throw my laptop against the wall. Hopefully future chapters will be quicker in coming out. Jane isn't around to beta at the moment, so any mistakes are, regrettably, my own.

And a quick note before I continue - this takes place in a slightly divergent timeline, where neither the VNA books or Big Finish audios happened (and neither did the comics or other ranges of books/audios, for that matter). It’s been a pretty long time since Survival, and Ace and the Doctor have just been kind of bumping about the universe for maybe a decade-plus now, righting wrongs, etc. This probably isn’t directly relevant, but I felt it worth mentioning.

( Ace entered the TARDIS with a sigh that was half-exhaustion and half-relief. )

Notes: To my great surprise, I found that this chapter didn't require as much editing as I thought it would - although I did end up splitting part of it off into an entirely new chapter that wasn't even in my initial story plan, but kind of... needs to be there, really. Writing is such a weird hobby. Thanks to Jane for eternal support/encouragement/screaming at my terrible cannibal puns. You're the real MVP here.

Notes: For Jane, whose request was quite simple, as requests go - "all I want for Otherstide is for you to post Les Fleurs Du Mal, you coward". And considering I've been procrastinating on this particular fic for a good long while now, I feel like that's an entirely fair request. Hopefully the act of posting at least the first chapter will kickstart me into finishing it. And incidentally, many thanks to Jane for letting me bounce all the initial ideas off her when I was first planning/writing this fic.

More to come soon!
