I was actually thinking of writing the opposite sort of dynamic. An angry, distrustful Hannibal in the wake of the fall and it's Will who has to earn back his favor. This thought just reminded me of it.

This is exactly how my current fanfic starts; with an angry and mistrustful Hannibal. I wanted to explore this dynamic. I find it hard to believe that the man who stabbed Will in his kitchen wouldn't feel betrayed once again after the fall.
I usually interpret it as him being fine with it since he got what he wanted and would’ve let Will kill him anyways. He was prepared for that possibility and chose to stay. If they survived, all the better. If anything Will would feel suspicious of why he’s NOT angry.
