Fics like Champagne Problems

"Someone had expected her. Someone had made a place for her before she arrived." (Chapter 13 - En Rose Champagne). Most people stumble into trauma. FBI agents and killers choose it. After Hannibal Lecter’s escape, Clarice Starling clings to survival by clinging to usefulness. Then Ardelia is hurt, trauma licks at the edges of Clarice’s mind, and Crawford hands her a cold case where Doctor Lecter lingers as suspect, echo, and fascination. Clarice chose the FBI the way Lecter chose the treacherous run: knowing she would do what no one could undo, accepting the harm it would do to her mind — perhaps even to her soul. A story about unearthing Hannibal’s past and present, impossible luxury, and what it costs to love both a mesmerising man and a cannibalistic monster. Some might say it is a horrific tragedy. Some might say these are champagne problems.
