And now I have the time to squee properly about this fic. I really enjoyed it - you got at so much of what I loved about the show, not least Rebecca and Christian's relationship, the shared curiosity about the pictures, how the puzzle appeals to them, and how she sees it as a way of helping and has infected him in that regard. Of course he hacked into the space station to 'say hello'!
But that's just one aspect that you covered, from how he is part of the team for which she takes responsibility and how he's not. I enjoyed that you made it so much her POV and did such a great job on the voices. It allowed you to explore all the different ways she sees him and still finds him unfathomable, if a little more vulnerable.
I loved the references to the consequences of what happened - are you thinking of writing more? That Rebecca is worried about her job and Callum has gone AWOL - with us knowing a little more than her - was tantalising enough, but the pictures were a really nice hook...
This is honestly more than I hoped for in so many ways when I made the prompt. Thanks for giving me more. Consider this a virtual chocolate Hob-Nob, which is well deserved!
