Summary:
“I am going to have to see you eventually, Galahad,” Tristan pointed out. “Or else undertake this mission blindfolded.”
Abruptly, the door in front of him was flung open. He had to fight not to take a reflexive step backwards.
“If you even begin to laugh…” Galahad threatened, hissing.
Tristan surveyed the sight of him.
No, he still didn’t feel like laughing at all.
REC NOTES:
[In regards to the warnings in the top Notes: Both are references to things that happened in the past of natural causes.]
I think you could read this just fine as some kind of original fic - as it is, I’m here via Hannibal, not having seen the movie. You don’t even need knowledge of Arthurian legend despite the names involved - for the fic or the movie as I understand it. Regardless of how you end up here, this is a delightful fic of two brothers-in-arms that apparently share a grudging respect but little more, thrown together for the sake of a diplomatic assignment that leads to them discovering… well, it actually is more. I loved Tristan’s POV which included him not knowing everything and Galahad’s often pissy temperament (he’s cute but he probably bites - which, to be fair, definitely describes Will Graham, so you can see the attraction for Hannibal fandom). It’s the kind of fic where there’s definitely pining and a bit of miscommunication, but there’s a lot of payoff in terms of both of them being on the same page, too, which is a great deal of fun to read.
I will also admit I love the length of the fic, which is long enough to be satisfying without feeling too intimidating to start. Another 50,000 words of world building about Opiso sounds great now that I’ve read it, but given my recent track record, it’d probably still be marked unread and that would be sad. :)
