Best Hannibal fic I’ve read so far. One of the only with what feels like a realistic depiction of post fall physical healing

Summary
They can’t be parents. People like them were poisonous to innocence. Will knew that, had chosen this life with Hannibal accepting that. That didn’t mean he didn’t wish for it sometimes.
A post-fall story about Will coming to terms with the impossibility of fatherhood and doing his best not to resent Hannibal for it (he doesn’t completely succeed)
