A/N: I really loved this film when I was younger, and though I've seen SOTL many times over, I only recently re-watched Hannibal. Afterwards, I felt the need to write a little something about the aftermath of the events in the film. While I much prefer the film ending(the book ending makes very little sense to me), one cannot deny that there is some sort of bizarre relationship between Clarice and Hannibal, be it romantic or something else entirely. After the events in Hannibal, I figured that Clarice would probably come to the same conclusion.
When she was a naïve youth dreaming beyond the walls of the Lutheran Orphanage in which she resided, Clarice Starling never dreamt that her life would turn out the way it had. She had always wanted to work for justice. In doing so, she had hoped that she would honor her father's memory. Now, she wasn't sure if he would be pleased or mortified at what his daughter had become. Of what she had accomplished. A decade ago, she had found herself in spotlight of the media. In recent years, she had instead been caught in the media's crosshairs. And now, after the events that had happened nights before, Clarice was bracing herself for whatever drastic turn her life would next take. Once again, she was in the center of a scandal. The papers were overflowing with headlines of Hannibal the Cannibal's return and subsequent disappearance. And where his name was her name was sure to follow. It had been that way for a decade. Every piece of Lecter related literature always featured her name in one way or another. The difference now was the way in which her name featured and the scandal that surrounded it. One article in the Times was titled, "Hannibal's Bride". Another local paper reported that "Hannibal invades America to liberate Imilce". The implications of these papers were not lost on Clarice.
The media, vicious and always on the hunt for a juicy new story, had convinced the world that Hannibal had held some twisted love for Clarice and had come out hiding in order to claim her. Some papers even had the gal to suggest that Clarice returned 's alleged feelings. For her own part, Clarice admitted that he feelings regarding the illustrious doctor were complicated. She knew that she did not love him, but at the same time she had to admit to herself that there was some sort of attraction. Though she did not feel it to be romantic in nature, Clarice could also not explain the cacophony of noises her heart made every time he was near. He excited her. As someone who had undergone extensive training in behavioral analysis, she could not help but be intrigued by his twisted mind. While the things he said often repulsed her, the reason behind his words fascinated her to no end. She was also afraid of him. She feared the truth in his words. She feared how much she had let him venture into her mind. The reward was worth it, in the end. A young girl had been saved and a serial killer had been apprehended. Still, even though it had been a decade since their quid pro quo sessions, Clarice knew that Hannibal Lecter would never truly leave her mind. He was always there, as a thought or a shadow. As a memory or a nightmare. Worse still, there was no one with whom Agent Starling could share this terrible burden. No one else had ever gotten as close to Lecter as she had. As a result, she sometimes felt like a different species of human entirely. No, Clarice Starling did not love Hannibal Lecter. And yet, somewhere between the excitement and fear lingered some unknown emotion. She used to try to identify it, but now she was too afraid of what she might find.
As for Lecter's feelings towards her, Clarice was not longer sure. Over the past few years and during every speech she ever gave about her involvement in the Buffalo Bill case, she had stalwartly denied any accusations of a one-sided romantic relationship.
" is considered a psychopath, and as such cannot love in the way that you're implying", she would often say. After a while, reporters stopped asking. Her responses became so mechanical and unvaried that the media gave up all fancies about reporting a twisted love story.
Now, amidst a scandal, Clarice found herself re-evaluating her trademark response. While it was definitely true that clinical psychopaths could not love as normal humans would, they were not completely incapable. And infact, no one really knew what was. While he had been labeled both a sociopath and a psychopath by various sources across the world, Clarice had never found him to cleanly fit either mold. Indeed, there was no one else quite like Hannibal the Cannibal. He was in a league of his own. But was it possible that the reports were true and that he, the figure lurking in her every dream, could harbor some twisted love for her?
"I came halfway around the world just to watch you run in the woods. Let me run..."
No, Clarice though adamantly. He is a murderous lunatic. He knows no love.
As she tried her best to convince herself of the reality she wanted, her mind drifted back to the chilling night days ago.
Her back impacted with the reinforced refrigerator door. With her senses impeded by whatever medication she'd been administered, Clarice found herself helpless against his terrible strength. She had always known he was strong. There were times during their first interviews that Clarice was sure he would break through the glass and devour her whole. She had seen the crime scene photos of his numerous victims. What most people could not do without complex machinery, Hannibal Lecter could do with his bare hands. There was an inhuman quality to his strength, one that was far beyond normal for a man of his advanced years. Usually, she may have had a better chance of fending him off. While the bureau had more women that it used to, Clarice was used to operating in a world dominated by men. She was used to their roving eyes and loose hands. She had broken quite a few unwanted fingers in her day, and as such had earned herself a fearsome reputation. However, the realistic part of Clarice knew that even if she had been in full health, physically she could never match Lecter's monstrous strength. No agent could. If she did not know that he would consider the idea beneath him, Clarice might have suspected steroids. His grip slackened, and he said,
"I came halfway around the world just to watch you run. Let me run…"
Seeing a small window of opportunity, she lunged for him again only to be pushed back once more and held strong by his powerful hands. This time, the good doctor wasn't taking anymore chances. He secured her ponytail between the refrigerator doors and snarled. She tried to keep her face as calm as possible, not wanting to give him the satisfaction of dining on her fear. She could feel intense heat radiating from his wiry frame. Distantly, she wondered if the warmth of his body was the last thing his victims had felt before their demise.
"Tell me Clarice", he cooed, leaning to meet her eyes. She could feel his breath on the nape of her neck and she fought the urge to squirm, "would you ever say to me, 'stop. If you loved me, you'd stop'?"
Without hesitation she replied, "not in a thousand years".
"Not in a thousand years?" Hannibal mused, drawing back for a moment to consider from a far. Softly, he smirked and said, "that's my girl".
In a second she was met with the feeling of his hard, moist mouth against hers. Immobilized by the fridge door, she had no choice but to sit still and let the situation play out. His mouth was pressed so harshly against hers that she thought she could feel the outline of his sharp teeth. Remembering the fate of the nurse whose face the same mouth that was kissing her tried to devour years ago cause her to involuntarily shudder. She was so swept up in confusion and fear that she almost forgot the pair of cold, metal handcuffs that lay hidden in her dress.
Clarice sharply came to attention, scaring herself out of her daydream. She had replayed that night countless times, and after every spell she promised herself that she wouldn't think of it again. And yet she did, everyday like clockwork. Her mind seemed determined not to forget, just as the media was determined not to forget. Presently, her job was in question. Though, it was not because the bureau felt the need to dismiss her but rather that she felt the need to dismiss herself. As per usual, there had been truth in Lecter's words that night. She had come to despise the bureau. What he did not know, or perhaps simply did not say, was that Clarice had also come to despise herself. She was not the person she dreamed of being. She was not the person she dreamed that her father would want her to be. The justice that she had thought she was fighting for seemed lost in a sea of injustice. The way she had been thrown under the buss in the Drumgo case was just one in many instances that had caused Clarice to become disillusioned with her career. But what else could she do? All of her life, law enforcement had been the only path on the horizon. Without her badge, who was she? After years of wearing a bullet proof vest like a second skin, how could she even hope to start anew? She had given up her chance to settle down and have a family. Though she was still young, in her heart Clarice knew that she would never be a fit mother now. She had killed too many mothers and fathers on the job to justify having a child of her own. She had seen enough of the great, dark world that surrounded her to know that to bring life into this world—with all that she had done—would be cruel. She had turned away many suitors over the years, refusing to allow herself into a committed relationship. Against her better judgement, Clarice turned her thoughts back to the question of 's alleged feelings.
He cannot love, she reaffirmed, though this time around her mind lit up with the memory of steel and blood. Out of all that had happened, that tense moment when her hand was cuffed to his and the cleaver came crashing down onto the counter had puzzled her the most. She could list textbook reasons as to why a being like Lecter could not love. And yet, his actions that night had changed everything. He could have easily killed her. She was drugged, subdued, and at his mercy. He could have severed her hand, thus ending her career in law enforcement and ensuring that she would not be able to pursue him. He could have feasted on her flesh while she lay sleeping. He could have acted in a manner befitting of his thick casefile, filled with a dozen failed attempts and behavioral profiles. To her constant confusion however, he did not act according to her expectations.
When the cleaver hit the countertop, Clarice was sure that her hand had been taken from her. After a few seconds of closed eyes, when she realized that she could still feel her hand, Clarice opened her eyes and glanced at the man standing next to her. For someone who had just severed his own hand, he appeared remarkably calm. Infact, it was eerie how normal he appeared. His posture was hardly altered, and his voice showed no indication of the intense pain she knew he must have been feeling. The sound of police sirens and helicopters sounded nearby. It wouldn't be long until help had arrived.
"I was right, I'm afraid. It did hurt quite a bit. Clarice, would you mind handing me the kitchen towel. Yes, that's it, to your right. It isn't the optimal tool that one would hope to use in such a situation, but circumstances being what they are I feel I shall have to compromise."
As his calm voice broke the silence, Clarice mechanically handed the towel to which was referring. She didn't know why she responded so easily to his commands. Perhaps it was the drugs. Or perhaps it was the stunned realization of the feat he had just performed. A feat performed for her. Blowing her a coy wink, left the scene, severed hand in tow, and left Clarice frantically trying to free her hair from its prison.
It could have been my hand, Clarice thought for the umpteenth time that day. So why wasn't it? What does it mean?
Let me run, he had said. Could it be that like Clarice, somewhere in the twisted maze of Hannibal Lecter's mind were feelings that belonged to no name? The same feelings, perhaps, that resided in the shadows Clarice's mind, between the excitement and trepidation? This thought disturbed her greatly. If it were true, it would mean that one some unknown level of existence, past the physical realm and beyond logic, there was a part of her that was inexorably connected to the mind of a madman. That there was, as the papers suggested, at least some semblance of a twisted attachment. Clarice let her eyes wander towards he living room windows. The curtains were drawn in order to shield her from the hungry eyes of the newsfolk who were lying in wait mere feet beyond her front door.
Let me run
The ceiling fan stirred up enough air to gently ruffle the edge of one of the lighter draperies. A small sliver of morning light danced across the floor and landed on a pair of bright sneakers. Running shoes. Clarice's mouth curved into a soft smile.
Let me run...
A/N: If you feel so obliged, please review! They make my day!

Keith Ng, the blogger who revealed the security lapse, posted in detail about how he managed to gain access to the network and accessed sensitive files which otherwise shouldn't have been accessible through the publicly available kiosks. As of now, the Ministry has shut all kiosks while the investigations are going on.
Ng, in a bid to prove his point, grabbed files such as contractor invoices, medical information, debt collection records, fraud investigation records, etc. In his blog post, he noted, "I sorted through 3500 invoices. This was about half of what I obtained, and what I obtained was about a quarter of what was accessible."
"There are probably more outrageous things still on that server, and there probably other servers that I've completely missed" he added. Ng notes that he is intending to hand over all the documents to New Zealand's Privacy Commissioner. Ng's act has attracted criticism as many believe that he might have stepped over the line when he grabbed the files to prove his point. National Business Review has an article up discussing whether Ng went a bit too far to put himself at risk of jail under New Zealand's Crimes Act?
In a press conference, after the revelations about the security lapse, New Zealand minister Paula Bennett apologized for the security breach. During the press conference Brendan Boyle, Ministry's CEO, appreciated Keith for reporting this incident to the privacy commissioner and for keeping the data secure. The words of appreciation probably mean that Keith may not be prosecuted for what he did.
An inquiry has been announced by Boyle. He said, "I want to find out why the system was architected in a way that is insecure". Boyle also revealed that sometime last week an unnamed individual contacted the Ministry asking for money in exchange of information about security issues in kiosks.

There are only a few days left to visit the Georgia O'Keeffe: Living Modern exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum. I've gone a few times, enjoying new corners of the exhibit each time. The sheer size of the exhibit is awe inspiring, highlighting her wardrobe, her art and famous portraits of her. It gives you a true glimpse into how she lived throughout her life. I was delighted to hear that she made some of her own clothes (including the silk dresses pictured here). The tiny pintucks were made with such precision. There's no doubt this exhibit will influence coming collections in the fashion industry. I overheard many women commenting on how they would wear many of the clothing featured in the exhibit. This just reinforces her timeless style.

Ian McEwan's novel is not an easy one to adapt to film. Sure, it's got lots of high drama, of the sorts that usually lend themselves to the medium—World war! Tragic death! Star-crossed lovers! Hot sex! Class conflict! Rape! Delirium!—and yes, it does have an unusually high pedigree, being both a very popular and very good novel.
It's also got a pretty idiosyncratic narrative structure which keeps a reader on his or her toes, showing the same events from different perspectives, and including a twisty shift or two which, on film, can be incredibly jarring, because the medium requires the attention of your ears and eyes to a higher degree than prose. That is, a reader is in much more control of how what they're experiencing is perceived, while a film-viewer is at the mercy of the film itself to a greater degree when it comes to the sight and sound of things.
And man, there's a shift in here that might knock you right out of your seat, if not the film itself for a moment.
Director Joe Wright is up to the challenge of difficult-to-succeed-at-adaptations-of-novels, of course, coming off the thoroughly charming 2005 Pride & Prejudice, the top of the heap of adaptations of that perennially popular British novel.
Wright is again working with his Elizabeth Bennet, Kiera Knightley, who here plays Cecillia Tallis, the older daughter of a reasonably well-off British family spending what will likely be her last summer in their old mansion. Her affair with James McAvoy's Robbie Turner, the housekeeper's son, is closely watched and not entirely understood by her l3-year-old sister Briony (Saoirse Ronan).
Briony is a brainy and imaginative child throwing herself into writing, but her imagination and proclivity for tale-telling causes trouble for the young lovers, the family and herself. Trouble of the life-ruining variety, which is where the title comes from, as the girl spends the rest of her life trying to atone for what she did (And we follow her for a while, as it takes two more actresses, 25-year-old Romola Garai and 70-year-old Vanessa Redgrave, to finish playing her).
The cast is uniformly excellent, but what really elevates the film from merely being a great film adaptation to being a great film in general is Wright's way with a scene, his evocation of a place and time and his characters' relationship within it.
While the events are mainly driven by words—a fact underscored by the sound of typing throughout, which becomes a sort of second soundtrack echoing Dario Marianelli's portentous score—Wright wrings the greatest drama from the scenes completely bereft of them.
Scenes like Briony's fascination with a bee trying to escape through a closed window, or her discovery of her older sister and Robby in their heated exchanges and, most especially, a bravura sequence in which Robbie, now fighting in World War II, stumbles upon the retreating British army on the beaches of Dunkirk.
"It's like something out of the Bible," one of them says when first looking down upon it, and then we're plunged into one, long, panning, five-minute shot of the apocalyptic scene, the viewer quickly becoming as shell-shocked as the soldiers we see wandering through the madness there.
Any movie with a scene that powerful is one well worth paying attention to, and while it may be the most remarkable moment, it's still only one of many remarkable moments.

How can I get Clomid?(10 Posts)
Have been TTC our last for over a year now. I'm lucky enough to have private health insurance and I managed to get my GP to refer me to a private consultant under the guise of "irregular/painful periods" which is true, to be fair. I was honest with the consultant over TTC and I managed an HSG/lap with ovarian drilling under my insurance, but that's about as far as we can go before obviously the insurer will stop paying.
For the record, everything checks out (bloods, HSG etc) aside from lowish progesterone on my part (a level of 28 at 7dpo) which probably explains the spotting from 5 days before AF, and low morph (3%) but a very high count on DH's.
She wants me to go on Clomid probably in August, which I'm fine with trying, but without the insurance helping out, it's going to be really expensive especially if she wants to do scans as well.
Given we already have children, is there a way of getting Clomid on the NHS and who would prescribe it? Would they want to do scans etc too? I'd hope my borderline progesterone would be a good enough clinical reason for it.
GP's used to be able to prescribe Clomid but I believe that this has now been stopped and only fertility clinics can prescribe it. This is partly as in theory you should be scanned regularly - a fact that escaped my clinic for six months. If I recall, previous children only excludes you from IVF not Clomid. Clomid is, in the big scheme of things, a cheap drug hence the NHS seems to over prescribe (IMHO) but the scans will cost. I think you will need to return to your GP, report back on the private consultant's verdict (they may have written anyway) and get an NHS referral.
What did the lap find if anything?. This is often done when endometriosis is suspected (a common cause of very painful periods).
Did you ever have a day 2 test done, if so what did that show?.
You seem to be going backwards now treatment wise as clomid is usually the first treatment option given and prescribed. HSG and lap are usually done later on in treatment if needed.
Low morphology can also be a problem in ttc; more analysis of your man should be done in any case to see if there are definitive male factor issues.
You need a firm diagnosis first and foremost, not necessarily clomid. It should be given only where there is definitive proof that ovulation is not happening regularly if at all. Also clomid is quite powerful stuff and you should be monitored whilst on it. No monitoring is unacceptable and should be challenged.
Hsg would normally be pre clomid. No point ovulating if tubes are blocked and clomid is limited in terms of lifetime dose so best not to waste rounds.
Hi, no IUI or IVF on NHS if you have children but you may be prescribed a certain number of months of cloned if the NHS thinks there is a medical reason for it. A gp should not prescribe it due to monitoring needed etc. you would need a referral which can take up to 18 weeks and you may not be prescribed treatment the first time you see an NHS consultant as they may well want to carry out tests to see whether there is a medical reason etc so it will take many months before any treatment. Not all clinics will scan every month either , some cycles may not have regular monitoring at all from my own experience anyway.
Thank you everyone!
I vaguely recalled hearing of GPs prescribing Clomid and I wondered if they still did or not as the idea of never monitored cycles sounded risky to me as well.
My lap/HSG came back completely clear which was a bit of a surprise - I was so sure it was the two gynae surgeries I'd had since conceiving my son, or a return of the mild endo I had a few years back (which was lasered off in 2007) behind it all.
My day 2 tests all came back completely fine, no signs of PCOS etc either and a good FSH, and I've also had things like testosterone (low, but in range), vit D (very healthy!) and prolactin (low, but in range) tested too. Still waiting on the results of an AMH test which seem to have gone AWOL.. having since read how hard it is to get AMH tested on the NHS I am sceptical if I'll ever see them!
I used to have no problems conceiving - hanging onto them was the tricky part with a less than stellar success rate getting out the first trimester, and high risk pregnancies after that for other factors. That has all changed this time around yet the only thing that is different was the surgeries, which were both pregnancy related including an unavoidable ELCS for medical reasons.
DH has had two SAs so far, around six weeks apart (one private as we didn't want to wait, and one NHS) and both reported fundamentally the same thing. They said his volume and motility more than made up for the morphology. DH is very unwilling to try supplements unless they've been backed up by rigorous unbiased research. He takes 2g vit C but will take nothing else.
My private consultant says she cannot see any reason why we haven't conceived given past history and all our results, and it's a genuine mystery to her. Me too. I'm 37 now for the record, but started TTC again when I was still 35. DH is four years younger. My maternal family has a history of later menopause (and also later babies) and the environmental factors are favourable for a later menopause too, so I don't think it's age-related particularly.
I get the feeling she's offering Clomid because she's all out of ideas - she was sure we would have conceived since the lap in April and told me to come back in August not expecting to see me I think. Well, one cycle left and I don't rate our chances. We're not prepared to do IUI or IVF (don't have the money for it for starters) so Clomid or similar is pretty much where it has to end.
TTC is putting a huge strain on our lives and our marriage so as we are already blessed with children we've put an end point of Christmas on it, which will be nearly two years TTC. So I guess in terms of sanity it may work out better to just spend the money on the private appointments than wait six months for an NHS referral and prescription then several months after that of attempts.
Hi I totally hear you say how ttc takes its strain. Took us years to conceive our ds. The only comment I gp have is SA's are generally 3 months apart due to sperm renewing themselves every three months. We had low sperm/poor morphology and antibody issues and with supplements and repeat SA's we saw a big increase in his levels so my also sceptical dh did change his mind and kept taking his Menevit ( what our private clinic suggested as one tablet that had all the supplements in he needed... Had to rider from abroad but not ££).
I am not too sure why clomid is prescribed. I would doubt whether it would be prescribed if you yourself medically have no fertility issues on the NHS. Not sure if anyone else has with already having proven fertility.
However having done private and NHS the NhS does not move at the speed of private so if you want NHS treatment I would suggest ask for referral now and be prepared to have to wait.
Hi, just jumping on to strongly urge you to ask your GP about Clomid. Mine prescribed it to me after 2 cycles of day 21 bloods showed I wasn't ovulating, although I could only have 3 cycles of clomid before being referred to fertility consultant. My GP arranged monitoring for the first cycle - I had an ultrasound and day 21 bloods. I also had day 21 bloods this 3rd and final cycle because I was convinced it wasn't working, turns out this cycle I fell pregnant.
I suspect, like so many things, it depends on your area and your GP. Good luck.
Your other option here is to seek a second opinion; think you are right in thinking that your current gynae cons has simply run out of ideas and is thus suggesting clomid for that sole reason. Would not take clomid on that basis at all.
Thank you all!
Hoophopes - yep, we're thinking of another SA at some point soon, especially as DH has been on the Vit C for a while. Given it took six weeks to get an appointment last time for an NHS SA, we should probably start things going asap for that one! I've not heard of Menevit - it looks interesting although I'm surprised it has such low Vit C unless the other vitamins work well as antioxidants too. Given nothing aside from lowish progesterone has come up for me, I am really beginning to wonder if it is on DH's side now. Yet we've still conceived before and nothing has changed with him either
maybemyrtle - thank you for that! I might give my GP a go then, just in case. So much does depend on an individual GP, it really does. I have had such varied experiences over the years.
Attila - I'm not sure we could afford a second opinion privately (as insurance obviously wouldn't pay for anything fertility-related) I wonder how amenable the NHS would be for a second opinion with them given I already have a private referral.
In the US women tend to go see a Reproductive Endocrinologist which given my bits check out physically makes me think an RE would be more useful for all the hormone stuff - what's the UK equivalent of that? As I think the main issue with my gynae is that she's, well, a gynae. She has already uttered the immortal words about ovulating on day 14 which is hilarious to somebody like me who has only managed that once in seven years of charting and my average is day 20 with supplements up to the eyeballs!
Anyway, if I could somehow get a referral to somebody like that (perhaps I could given I do still have the irregular painful spotting-filled cycles) it would be brilliant. I live in Hertfordshire but can reach London easily if anyone has any recommendations, whether NHS or perhaps I can still "blag" it with my insurer (Cigna), I don't know.. I have no idea what they think about second opinions.

Monday March 26th and Tuesday March 27th, 2012
Sacramento, CA
2012 is shaping up to be a critical year for California's workers' compensation system, as policymakers look to control increasing costs, improve the delivery of benefits and prevent the system from sliding into another job-killing crisis.
Don't let the debate happen without a strong voice from California employers! Join us for the Workers' Compensation Legislative Day on March 26-27 in Sacramento.
The Brown Administration is looking for a new round of broad reform that curbs abuses and eliminates unnecessary costs for employers, while increasing direct benefits for workers who sustain permanent disabilities. In the meantime, California's system has renewed its position as one of the most expensive in the nation. As one of the primary stakeholders in California's system, employers must educate policymakers about the problems and advocate for common-sense solutions.
The Workers' Compensation Legislative Day is your opportunity to partner with employers from throughout California and be heard. As part of this two-day event, you will receive at no cost:
