Most of my fanfiction reading in the last few years has been in Bryan Fuller's Hannibal fandom. I've been revisiting favorites for the comfort and familiarity of it.

Some of my favorites are (please mind the tags, it's a dark show and the fic tends to reflect that):
Two Solitudes, in my mind this is THE Hannibal fic.
Shark Tank, a prison AU.
A Past of Plank and Nail, my ultimate comfort fic, an AU where Will is a carpenter, and trans, and him being trans is not a source of anguish or conflict. It's beautiful.
Space Invader, a Hannibal Extended Universe fic. My favorite HEU fic.

Books-wise, I've been having a tough time finding something that's held my attention, but I just devoured Red, White & Royal Blue in one day. This is not normally what I look for in published fiction, as I usually gravitate towards horror. It really felt like reading fanfic in physical form though, and I really appreciated that.

My forever recs are Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel, Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer, Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi, The Vegetarian by Han Kang.

Thanks for the wide-ranging recs!
