We all know Caleb is a compulsive liar right
He obviously lied about what was going on with him, EVER and all. The whole turning people into wanderers which he surely didn't act upon. Mf doesn't even RESPOND when you asked him about his work.
Oh but those lies were piled up like a garbage pit in the back of his head. He did lie before, lots too. About his night terrors, the guys he so kindly battered when they got too close to you, his worried mind. Him fooling around in college.
But as he would lie about where the snacks are hidden in his apartment just to watch you search for them like the raccoon you were (you were adorable in those moments to him), he'd never lie about his affections, never.
He loved you, so much.
But through the thick veil of restraint.
You always felt loved, even in Old Days, when he went off to academy and wasn't around as much. He always sent money, packets filled with snacks, he made sure to facetime you weekly to see how you were taking care of yourself. You promised to keep everything neat, right?
He wrote those letters for you before he went on a mission like he'd write in a journal. That time he got absorbed into the tunnel and came out of that gory ship still breathing, his letter before that was that he was scared, and that he loved you, and that he hoped to return to you. He hoped you'd answer his prayers.
You were his faith.
Oh, he'd never hide that.
EVER could strip him of everything but his love for you. So, out of love, he lies.

Uhhhhh....
brainfog girlies make some noise if you're fuckin uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Blorbo doodles hehehehehehehe
My hc is that that he has a lil mole above his lips
I will be the epileptic representation that I so desperately need!! The auras have been hitting me hard recently so I made some art about it
oh!! can you recommend HH Arthur fanfics? without being modern.
Ooo, now this one is both easy and hard! Thereโs so, so many good things going on right now! So much material coming out daily. Iโm such a pack-rat and will devour everything I get my hands on.
But here are just a few that I am obsessed with right now:
Of Love and Loss - @coltermorning
The Tie that Binds My Soul to Thee - @moeitsu (all about this one right now)
Your Ivy Grows - @roseghoul26
The Call of the West - @cassietrn (this one is interesting bc she has the same oc in various fic threads)
Dried White Roses - @pine4pple-b0i (this is a great early gang look)
25 Days of Christmas @zanazirafanfic (this one kills me, each chapter is a look at various gang members, all with winter scenarios)
Iโm also a sucker for post-gang life bc I canโt handle the idea of Arthurโs demise.
Redemption Was Just the Beginning - @lacrymatoryao3 (this is simply amazing. A lot of characteristic Arthur inner turmoil that is beautifully done)
Second Chance for and Outlaw - @summerontatooine (I LOVE this one as a post gang look. There is even a second leg that goes with it but focuses on Charles - Ballad of Lonesome Heart)
These ones are older threads but still my all-time faves:
The Blue Side of the Mountain @sweet-by-and-by (post gang life and SO amazing)
Arthur!dad Series and Arthur!protector series - @queenxxxsupreme (this writer is one of the reasons I started writing my own fic. So much content on their list too)
And then there are some that just always put out amazing work: @rivetingrosie4 @shootybangbang @sixgunluvr
Hope this helps. Like I said, there is some great stuff out there and I know there are those that I follow and get tagged on that I am forgetting. But these are my ones that are the objects of my affections.
I'm riding Caleb so hard that the boat will topple over! IDCCCC!!!! His evol got NOTHING on me!!!!
Caleb is a hardcore yearner in a sad way tbh. Like most of his remaining memories are of MC. Like, yea, before making it to DAA and having the chip put in his brain MC was like his obsession n everything and he thought abt her often but he had other thoughts and interests surely, he had experienced other things that didn't have to do with MC completely and that built his character as a person. And he was stripped away from that ig...Or at least he remembers but he doesn't resonate w them at all.
His inner person became his obsession over MC and his memories of her.
,,,if to any1 reading this, i hope you get my 3 am ramble
Thinking about pre kaboom!Caleb being upset with you. Pt.1
(ยด๏พ๏ฝ๏ผ)
Maybe you emptied the whole apple jam jar, or you devoured his protein bars. Maybe you left a bunch of dishes in the sink as a welcome home gift for the nth time or you left the goddamn toilet seat up again. He wouldn't outwardly scold you because he was supposed to be the mature and cool one. So he'd let you off with a pinch to the nose and some verbal shaming.
"Look at this big, adult missy who can't clean up after herself~ You're totally hopeless without me- This place will become a man nest when I leave for college."
He ruffled your hair in amusement as he saw you get all red with embarrassment. You'd certainly be a little neater after this blow to the ego. But he will certainly brush this off every time, he'd do any chore for you.
Though that time when you walked past him in the school's corridor, giggling with your new friends, it wasn't as cute. Not by far. At first he thought you didn't see him out of disbelief that his best girl didn't notice him raising his hand towards you as he interrupted whatever conversation he was having with his buddies by the lockers. Something about a party- or a new stupid joke roaming around. But he was pretty tall and built, he certainly stood out enough for you to see him!
"Heyyy, hellooo! Pipsqueak! I'm here!" He called out after you, his boys began chuckling, and you waved him off. Your new friends were certainly giving him more attention than you did, their eyes flickering with surprise between you and him.
What the hell was going on? His eyebrows furrowed as he barely took in your sheer audacity.
He wasn't a 'where my hug at?' type of guy againts all odds but now, with his usually maintained nerves frayed, he pushed through the sea of students in that crowded hall and ate up the distance quickly. His right forearm wrapped around your shoulders with he kept his other arm down with a clenched fist.
You got startled, obviously, the back of your head pressing against his chest. You tilted your head up, and you were met by his deadpan above you.
"Respond to me when I'm callin' out to you." He said in a not so cheerful tone.
"Caleb- Uh, sorry, but- I really gotta go to class with my friends-"
"Break just began."
"I, uh, have go to the vending machine- I'm hungy! I wanna get something-"
"I packed a sandwich for you. This morning." He raised an eyebrow at you. Daring you to continue.
"Caleb." You gave him a look that made him back away.
"Sure." Then he smiled, that easy smile that covered up his frayed nerves to those who didn't know. Though you could obviously see the way it twitched at the corners of his mouth "See you back home, pips."
And he left too hastily, embarrassment burning him.
He left, offended, disrespected (and hurt). You got new friends, huh?
My three girlfriends. And yes, they smoke weed.
