Fics like The Boy in the Oversized Sweater

Will Graham is eight years old, painfully shy, forever covered in scraped knees and oversized sweaters. Hannibal Lecter is eleven, quiet beyond his years, carrying a grief no child should have to bear. They meet by chance in a schoolyard. From then on, Hannibal always knows where Will is. He saves him a seat during recess, walks him to the school gate, ties his scarf when it's crooked, and counts the days Will is absent. Will, in return, smiles only a little brighter when he sees Hannibal. Neither of them knows what to call the strange ache of missing someone who is still standing right beside you. Or: two lonely boys find each other long before they ever learn the word "love."
