out of sight, out of mind (it's not too late)
Summary:
Malcolm and personhood, through his crewmates.
Notes:
Part of BPD is identity issues and boy do I have a lot of those. And I think Malcolm has some issues with identity too. His sense of personhood seems to be skewed to me. He views himself as a cog in the machine, a tool to be used - not a person. So I wrote this partially as a vent and partially as a character study.
Each chapter is the POV of a different member of the senior staff, ending with Malcolm himself. I'll put the POV character in the chapter title so there's no confusion. :]
Chapter Text
I’ve tried being friendly with Malcolm before. This is a long mission. We’d do well to get to know each other, learn a bit more about each other.
But Malcolm’s been resistant to that. I know it’s because I’m his captain, but I can’t help but wonder if it’s also something more. His little stunt out on the hull confirmed my suspicions. And I don’t like it one bit.
So I’ll do what I can to reassure him we want him here, that he belongs here. I just can’t stand the thought of losing him in that sort of way.
