[Coldsaturn]

Oh the noise I made when I realized I wasn't reading through Caleb's pov and this was the infamous (it was mentioned once but in a forum of 2 popularity has different thresholds) 3rd party pov!! Amazing. Beautiful. You just know she's there to be a doll and look pretty (she's so much more but that's classified info) for the new nepo-baby colonel.

Also, I already had this thought but reading this really convinced me that Caleb's adventures on his ship through the tunnel could work like battlestar galactica worked. Just. All the power struggles and group dynamics ♡
If one fancied that kind of plot, even him having a partner on board, something that he knows is never going to be romantic because he has no space in his body for it [this touches on a fan headcanon that Caleb would have partners to be knowledgeable enough when he finally got together with MC]
If one wanted to go the opposite way, him dodging flirty advances like bullets and is completely oblivious to how attractive everything he does is [this touches on the opposite headcanon that he's saving himself for MC and has never even given his first kiss yet]
