Oh wow, what a wonderful surprise to see on my friends list over my lunch break!

Bedelia and her relationship with Hannibal is one of my favorite things about the show (probably because of the lack of Clarice... there are similarities and that mutual fascination, although Bedelia is a very different kind of woman), and I love your characterization of them in this glimpse into the past. And that final line... can't wait to see more of her in the show! (Would also love to see more of her from you ;) )

Thank you! Bedelia is far and away my favorite (oh, Gillian) and I will be sad when she inevitably disappears.

Amazing

I've always admired your ability to capture Mulder and Scully so when I discovered this Hannibal/Bedelia fic, I was like "OMG, Aloysia is back!".
I felt like I was reading a page from the script, it's so spot on and it looks so real. Once I started reading, I was mesmerized by the atmosphere that you managed to recreate. That kind of cold addictive air of mystery envelopping them, you got that to perfection.
You have to write more about them. I've tried finding other Hannibal/Bedelia fics online but yours is the only that stays true to the series and to the characters. Please, write some more about them, I'd kill to read your take on Bedelia's assault!

Thanks you very much! I was pretty intimidsated by writing Hannibal/Bedelia because they play it so, so subtly and that is a challenge to write without Mads and Gillian doing eyebrow quirks and lip twitches, but it was great fun. So glad you liked it!
