About Murder Husbands

A couple united by violence — partners in crime in the most literal sense — whose devotion to each other is matched only by their shared body count. Coined by the Hannibal fandom and now applied to any pairing whose romance is inseparable from their crimes.

It is the ultimate ride-or-die fantasy taken to its logical extreme: two people who accept each other completely, including the parts society never could.

Common scenarios: Hannibal and Will building a life abroad between artful kills, or a pair of assassins whose date nights and contracts share a calendar.
