Clarice could also become very defiant. She is a strong - willed character. So, instead of cowering, she might constantly challenge Hannibal, trying to get under his skin and make him make mistakes. This could lead to some intense mental battles between them within the fanfiction.
Another reaction could be that she feigns compliance at first to gain his trust. Then, when he least expects it, she makes her move to escape. She would be constantly observing, looking for any weaknesses in Hannibal's setup or in his psyche that she can exploit to free herself.
At first, Will would be in shock. But as time passes, he would start to analyze Hannibal's motives. He is a profiler, after all. He might try to use his psychological knowledge to manipulate Hannibal in return. He could also go through periods of anger, resenting Hannibal for taking away his freedom. And there might be moments of confusion as he tries to figure out if there is any part of Hannibal's actions that could be considered 'caring' in his warped way.
Will might initially be in shock. He trusts Hannibal to a certain extent, so the betrayal of being kidnapped would be a huge blow. He could be angry and try to fight back against Hannibal.
Perhaps it's a power play. Hannibal is a character who enjoys being in control. By kidnapping Clarice, he asserts his dominance over her. He can manipulate the situation, make her dependent on him in a way, and show that he has the upper hand. It's like a game to him, and Clarice is the most interesting piece on the board.
One idea could be that the baby inherits Hannibal's intelligence and Clarice's strong sense of justice. The story could explore how they raise the child in a world that is both fascinated and horrified by their union.
One idea could be that in the fanfiction, Hannibal, Clarice and Will are in a polyamorous relationship. They might decide to have a baby as a symbol of their unique bond. Maybe they live in a secluded place where they can raise the child away from the chaos of their past lives. The baby could inherit some of their extraordinary traits, like Will's empathy and Hannibal's intelligence.
One common theme is the exploration of their psychological connection. They both have very complex minds, and fanfictions often dig into how they understand and influence each other on that level. Another theme is the power dynamic. Hannibal is a very powerful character, and Clarice is no pushover either, so their relationship in terms of who has the upper hand is often explored. Also, the theme of redemption sometimes shows up, like whether Hannibal can be redeemed through his relationship with Clarice or vice versa.
One great hannibal and clarice fanfiction is 'The Dance of Minds'. It delves deep into their complex relationship, with beautiful prose that makes you feel like you're right there in their psychological tug - of - war. Another is 'Silent Conversations' which focuses on their unspoken understanding of each other. And 'Twisted Paths' is also a good one, showing how their relationship could develop in different, unexpected ways.
In love fanfiction, Hannibal's character may transform in terms of his motives. Instead of just being self - interested, his love for Clarice makes him consider her well - being and happiness. He may even sacrifice some of his own desires for her. Clarice, on the other hand, might develop a more complex personality. She could be torn between her feelings for Hannibal and her sense of duty. This internal conflict often leads to her character growing in new and unexpected ways, like becoming more empathetic towards Hannibal's own complex past and motives.
In fanfiction, the relationship between Clarice and Hannibal can be explored in many ways. Some fanfictions might focus on a more psychological connection, delving into how they understand each other's minds despite their differences. For example, they could have a series of intellectual exchanges that gradually lead to a strange form of mutual respect.
A possible plot is that they all decide to have a baby to start anew. Hannibal could use his knowledge to provide a stable and cultured environment for the child. Will, with his connection to nature, teaches the baby about the outdoors. Clarice, being strong - willed, is the one who holds the family together during tough times. The story could then revolve around their journey of raising the baby while also dealing with their own personal demons.
