The Persistent Hunter 42/42

😭😭😭I ruined my pillow

ill be honest, i was never THAT into hannigram when hannibal came out, though i loved their dynamic, i mostly hated hannibal LOL you have definitely made me appreciate their relationship, at least as it relates to your work.

😭😭😭😭😭 It was so beautiful

Hi~ Thanks for worrying about me! I actually keep this in mind when printing any of my fanworks, and as such, I do my best never to do anything that would harm the holders of the copyright. In this case I've already printed the book, only a few hundred copies, it's already sold out, and I am not planning to print more ever again, making the printed version deliberately uncommon so it would never be mistaken for official; I also don't do so to make a profit, and generally whatever money ends up left over after taxes and materials just goes into the next print project. I'm aware it doesn't make it 100% cool to do so and would respond immediately to any C&D or DMCA, but since I'm doing the best to be under the radar and not do anything harmful, it hasn't been an issue so far. I would never, say, try to list the book on amazon and print thousands of copies or crazy stuff like that~ I just enjoyed making it and I love putting together a printed book and sharing that with other fans, but it's impossible to do so for free. A lot of people print their works in similar ways (generally in the form of 'zines') and similarly do it out of love for the IP, not to make profit off of it, so for the most part companies don't go after these small fans, since there's no benefit for them. You can even look up some similar Hannibal fan books, some of which have even been supported by Bryan Fuller himself :) I know it's not 'permission', but it's as close to it as we can get! I hope that eases your mind a bit~ Thanks again!

It's a lot easier to fly under the radar receiving "donations" for your work on the internet than if you were to actually sell the copyrighted material itself. That being said, you could always just fucking go for it and see if anyone is petty enough to send you a cease and desist lol.

Hello, love. Be careful of publishing this as a printed book -- technically it's an unauthorized derivative work, and it infringes on the copyright owners' bundle of rights under 17 United States Code 106A. I love this work -- and you -- and I don't want you to get in trouble with THE MAN. 😰

Absolutely adored this.

Thank you so much for this wonderful story! Every week I looked forward to it! What a journey, hot, sad, sweet, just perfect really!

*applause*

Now lets go do some murder husband killin'.

I love all your Hannigram stuff, even when it's gross 😂 can't explain it, but I don't mind ;) Now I'll go back to hoping in he dark for a brief ABO Sherlock something... ❤️ And waiting for the next Doppio update!! 😃

I'm hoping to do the whole thing in one book, but it might be a little too thick, so we'll see~ Thanks!

Reapersun

Oww, I got to the last page expecting the dawn to be in colour, instead of B&W ;w;" I loved this! Are you planning on printing both parts as separate booklets or as a whole? Asking for a friend.........

The idea of Jack Crawford and co finding that thing along with the jizz and blood soaked sheets is very hilarious to me XD I imagined Will was thinking about it when he decided to leave it behind, knowing they'd find it, and knowing that Hannibal would find it incredibly delightful when he eventually tells him about it XD I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!

Reapersun

Thanks so much! I'm working on putting the book together so as long as I don't run into issues with printers, it'll definitely get made~

Reapersun

Honestly I think the dildo alone deserves a spin off of its own... imagine the police finding it for a start.. Beautiful ending, just loved the whole thing. You kept the Hannibal vibe and I feel you wrote excellent in-character lines. It was tragic and still somehow hopeful! Beautiful and bloody.. Lovely, thank you!

Ratticuss

Thank you!!

Reapersun

Thank you! I realized writing ABO is really hard haha, especially when you can't dedicate pages and pages to worldbuilding XD Glad I did okay with it!

Reapersun

Thanks so much!

Reapersun

I'll consider it! I could do a whole chapter about Will relinquishing control of his butt back to Hannibal so I'm not sure I could condense it enough to actually do it, but it's a very enticing idea XD Thanks!

Reapersun

I'm also very much looking forward to what you've got coming up next for us. Hope you enjoy the week's break.

I've so enjoyed reading and seeing this story come together. Your art is beautiful as always and you capture the complexities of the characters and their relationship wonderfully. Thank you for sharing it with us and if you do a run I will totally try and buy this loveliness.

A new day has come. Very well done! I'm so happy to have stayed a part of this X3

Absolutely loved this story! Not only a great a/b/o work but lovingly crafted with these two in mind. This is the particular work that got me to sign up for your patreon and with all the other amazing stuff you do, I'm very glad I did.

aaahhhh I love how it ended. thanks for this! Can't wait for the vacant body

Lil 5 page plug porn one shot? ;) Loved this story thoroughly! I am very excited for and eagerly await This Vacant Body QUQ

Trev

Thanks! Don't worry about it, I understand! Hope to see ya soon!

Reapersun

Thank you!

Reapersun

Thanks so much! I hope the printer doesn't freak out with all the blood and dicks in it XDD

Reapersun

Thanks! It would have felt kinda weird to me with the tone of this one being so dark if I introduced a kid into it, so that's why I dismissed it; I left a link in a comment above to a blurb reply I wrote about whether it's still possible for Will to conceive, including some speculation about how it could be possible, so if you wanna hold out hope for them in the future, I think it's plausible :))

Reapersun

Thanks! And no worries, I understand!

Reapersun

Thank you!

Reapersun

Haha I'm glad to hear it! I'm still iffy about a lot of ABO stories too but when one gets it's right, it's super duper my jam X)) So I'm really glad you enjoyed it~ Thanks!

Reapersun

Thanks so much!

Reapersun

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Reapersun

I'm not actually the biggest fan of kidfic lol so I didn't plan to go there with this unfortunately :( I actually answered a question in the comments back a bit about whether Will could still conceive and whether they'd have children eventually here: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/persistent-16-39-8475322">https://www.patreon.com/posts/persistent-16-39-8475322</a> It's unlikely I'll add more onto this story but there are some possibilities there if they wanted to have kids~

Reapersun

I'm so happy with all your work and love all your works! I'm sad I won't be able to keep my pledge for the time but I hope to be back in September or sooner! 💕💕

Newt

I loved reading this, seeing your plans for the future too has made me happier than ever!

This was a wild ride and I'd love to get a copy of it. Also I can't wait to see this Vacant Body! Very excited

Dread

I love your reimagining 😍 almost sad that they can't have children. AOB Hannigram kids are my fav

Natalie E

Just such a wonderful end! I'm glad I held on and I'm gutted I can't afford to keep this level right now, but will as soon as I can. I hope the original comic goes well and I'd definitely be interested in both of this series in a book! 💖💖💖

TigerPrawn

I'm sad it's over but I loved the ending! *throws kudos* 💖💖💖

It was beautiful! Thank you for this story. ABO didn't use to be my jam, but you've made it so interesting with this version of Hannibal. So excited for your next project!!

Ru Kaye

The end? I want babies, but I guess it's ok I'll just imagine it. Unless you do an after. Lol

Eddie Fly

Such a beautiful ending! Really enjoyed this comic. Well done!

Britt

Oh man, you handled the ending beautifully. Perfect. :') 🙌
