Summary

A man on the hunt meets his prey in a bar.

Maybe it was supposed to make everything look like night in movies, milky blue but still bright enough to cast shadows. Rian couldn't think of another reason for the cobalt neon lights under the bar. They shone off the tops of his black shoes and made everything look somehow distant, like his feet were miles from the rest of him, tethered like astronauts on spacewalks, all alone in the dark.

From fairyninjas.wordpress.com: "A young man plays bait for a creep, or possibly he doesn’t, with plenty of supernatural elements. A solid read."

Author's Notes

This is largely some old-school AU fanon divorced enough from the source as to be largely unrecognizable, but I would be lying to deny the degree to which it's been influenced by the third season of Hannibal.
