Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Caleb Mir/Darem Reymi, T Chapter 1 of 2*

The last time Darem ever calls Caleb a criminal is on the day of his review tribunal.

Part 8 of They Were Roommates

*Most likely, unless it takes 3 to fix this mess

Definitely back on my reymir bullshit and they're back to not getting along

“Right,” Caleb grates out. “It’s always about you, isn’t it, Darem?” He flops back down on his bed. “Whatever you’re trying to prove today, you can go and impress someone else.” 

“It is about me, actually, you dick.” Darem turns away, back towards his own bed. “I bet my whole life on this place, in case you’ve conveniently forgotten. And what I’m trying to prove is that that wasn't the most stupid decision I ever made.”

“Yeah. Your choice.” Caleb’s lips curl around the word. It sounds like just the kind of indulgent excess Darem has always had and, probably, always complained about. “So don’t come crying to me the next time you’re feeling like shit about the hole you dug for yourself.”

Darem stops walking. Caleb stares at his back and wonders — briefly — if he’s gone too far.

That’s when Darem proves him very wrong. “My choice,” he echoes, in a flat voice. “I guess no one gave you one of those. But hey, why would they?” He barely turns his head; a glimpse of contempt. "You boarded the Athena a criminal, Mir. You’ll leave as one."

The criminal will account for his conduct this semester.

Then Caleb is up, in Darem’s face, and he doesn’t remember standing. “The fuck did you just say to me?”

Darem’s face drains. 

Caleb’s hands are shaking and he reaches for an insult and grasps at nothing, just the fire in his belly and the echo in his head that Darem is right.

“Come at me, then,” Darem says. His voice doesn’t even have the decency to shake. His face twists again, this time into a wild grin. “Bet you’ve been dying to pay me back for the first day. Go on.”

2,461 words

Summary: No one is pushing Darem to be perfect except Darem, anymore. This week, he's making that everyone's problem. And it's Caleb's turn.

Pairings: Caleb Mir/Darem Reymi (and memories of past relationships - m/m and f/m)

Summary: There are three stories Caleb has never shared with anyone, about three people who mattered to him. But he might be ready to tell Darem.

Inspired by ‘With Lovers and Friends I Still Can Recall’ by @xo-reymi

Tags: Underage sex, established relationship, angst with a hopeful ending, reminiscing about past relationships, age difference, heartbreak, past partner betrayal, referenced criminal activity, hinted references to past non-consensual sex

Snippet:

He almost asks if Darem really wants to hear this. But the answer, whether from guilt or anxiety, would probably be no. And Caleb already feels like he’s committed to this particular course of action.

Darem is giving him a look — half expectant, half anxious. Caleb sighs. “Let’s get this out of the way first. You’re a smart guy. Nearly as smart as me.”

“Yes,” Darem agrees, without a trace of humour.

“Smart enough to know what not to ask about.”

“…Yes.”

Whatever strange, almost aggressive mood Caleb has been in, it breaks at something hurt in Darem’s eyes. He reaches across the abyss for his hand, linking their fingers. “I’m never gonna be an open book, Darem. I wish I could lounge in bed and tell you about one good lay after another while we fool around. But I do want you to know— I want you to get to know me better.”

That gets him a small, genuine smile. “Yeah?”

“Yeah. So. You get three.”

“Three…?”

“Three stories.” Caleb drums jittery fingers on the bar. He doesn’t try to explain that he’s not even sure the point of these stories is sex. Darem will figure it out.

It takes him a good few minutes longer than he’s proud of, not to mention an entire drink, before he’s even close to ready.

“I told you about the shelter I grew up in. On and off.”

Anyway fic rec - it’s great:

Part 6 in the 'They Were Roommates' series but can be read as a stand-alone.

Snippet:

“Anywhere but the storage closet.”

They’re in the hallway at 0300 hours, negotiating over where they’re going for a makeout session — possibly more, if Darem is lucky. But it’s not happening if he kills Caleb first. “You’ll sleep on the floor, but you won’t fuck in a storage closet?”

Caleb is really trying to scowl at Darem. It’s almost cute how hard he still has to try to hate him. “I’ve done a bajillion hours of menial labour in this place. I’ve seen enough of the insides of those shitty little closets for multiple lifetimes. There isn’t room to breathe. We can do better.”

“Can we?” Darem gestures wildly around the Athena halls, empty except for the occasional passing DOT. “Tell me your brilliant better idea, Mir. On a table in the mess hall? In the middle of the quad, with hundreds of War College cadets looking down from all their windows, maybe? Oh, I know!” Darem fixes a shit-eating grin on his face. “Nahla Ake’s office! We'll just hope tonight is not the night she gets insomnia and decides to plan next semester’s curriculum, and walks right in on her—”

“Shut. Up,” Caleb growls, but there’s a smile threatening to break out on his face. He locks his fingers around Darem’s collar, tugging him closer. “If you want to do this here in the hallway to prove a point, no one’s stopping you. Least of all me.”

Caleb Mir/Darem Reymi

Summary: Neither Caleb nor Darem knows how to let someone else in, but they're going to have to figure it out. Even if they break a few things along the way. Each other, for example.

Pt 3 of ‘They Were Roommates’

On AO3 here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/82057691/chapters/215928696

Fandom: Starfleet Academy (TV 2026) Words: 6,527 Characters: Caleb Mir/Darem Reymi, also ft. Ocam Sadal, Jay-Den Kraag, Genesis Lythe, SAM | Series Acclimation Mil

Tags: Accidental cockblocking, kissing, implied sexual content, past child neglect, panic attacks, anger, hints/mentions of background ships

Summary:

They don't talk about it.

Darem Reymi has always liked his space. That's why it's a problem that no one knows about him and Caleb. The others just keep getting in the way.

Set before and after season 1, episode 7 (Ko'Zeine)

Snippet:

Darem has been trying so hard not to think about All-Worlds Day. It’s not celebrated on Khionia, of course, but his parents will be expecting him home. They know the dates of his semesters and breaks. 

(Do they?)

Finally, the torrent breaks free. “Well, at least you have somewhere to go, Caleb. If you ever bothered to think about anyone who’s not you, maybe you’d realise there isn’t a single cadet in your little gang of seven who isn’t gonna be lonely or abandoned or dealing with shitty excuses for parents this All-Worlds Day. But God forbid anyone forget about your problems.”

Caleb’s eyes go wide at the ceiling.

And Darem has to get one more jab in. Because that’s who he is. “Caleb Mir just has to own all the trauma in the room, doesn’t he?”
