Domestic murder family would never work- stay with me now. Will and Abigail's relationship is not what the fandom makes it out to be- stay with me now.
Many of Will and Abigail's interactions are Will’s imagination, meaning it was not accurate to how their relationship actually was. At best Abigail seems weary of Will, at worst she seems scared and uncomfortable around him. Abigail trusted Hannibal more than Will and saw him as more of a father figure for her. She goes to Hannibal multiple times in season one.
We can’t know what she thought of Will during season two, however she seems to be emotional and glad to see him again in Mizumono and tells him she did not know what else to do so she did as Hannibal said, implying a sense of her not wanting to comply and no longer having the same trust in Hannibal after he confessed to being the copycat killer.
Domestic murder family could never work; while I do believe some part of Hannibal did love Abigail and see her as a surrogate daughter, even if he was manipulative and did kill her- but this is my point. While he did love Abigail, he did not love her enough, and was willing to sacrifice her for Will betraying him. She was always going to be used by Hannibal to toy with Will’s feelings, because his feelings for Will were stronger than those for Abigail. Which proves my point that Domestic murder family would never work realistically.
The scene where Hannibal apologizes for taking Abigail away- when Will thought she was dead before Mizumono, did seem sincere to me; he was genuinely sorry. He killed Abigail out of pure hurt and I do not believe he was being rational as he was so deeply betrayed by Will that all he wished to do was to show him how much he had hurt him.
I don’t think Will would ever forgive Hannibal for what he did to Abigail, even post-fall. However he could come to finally accept and make peace with what was done, but he would never forgive Hannibal for it.
short yap about the hannibal ending, bear with me <3
When Will pushes them both off the cliff I believe he did it with the intention (or more of, a hope, but not an exact intention) they would both die. But he wouldn’t care if they did survive (which they did) - if they both die then he’s defeated Hannibal and the monster growing inside him - if he doesn’t, he will go on killing with Hannibal and accept his ‘becoming’. Will is content either way, but he would like both options to be there. We know that Will did initiate the fall - we can literally see it. The question is, why would he do that, if not with the intention for possible death? He said killing Dolarhyde was beautiful - he accepted his nature, finally, he and Hannibal could have escaped in other ways I am sure too, because after the fall they would be severely injured, even if they did survive, so what would be the point of rendering yourself severely injured if you want to escape the FBI? And I think this is the reason why. I hope this post makes sense lol </3
