@solas-you-nerdmentioned me in her post about romancable Carrington, now I feel like a proud representative of this ship, so have some of my Carrington/Malcolm headcanons:

• Malcolm never quite lets go this whole issue with Carrington’s initial distrust, it’s not that he holds a grudge or anything, they just like to snark about it, they will probably still do it years later
• they try to add time for each other into their schedules in advance, it doesn’t always work out, in the kind of life they lead you can’t predict everything, but at least they try
• as much as Malcolm was the one to hold most of the innitiative in the initial stages of getting to know each other, it was Carrington who eventually insisted they have a talk about what exactly is going on between them
• Carrington is more of a morning person, Malcolm is anything but, so in the early hours of day it’s actually Mal who is the more grumpy and grumbly one. it’s confusing to see them like that
• they enjoy to playing chess, especially since they are on similar level of ability
  
• having no immediate ways of long-distance communication is bullshit if you ask Malcolm, he always liked to be part of other people’s lives even when he couldn’t be there physically, he writes notes/short letters and gives them to Drummer Boy upon leaving HQ with request to deliver one every few days. Carrington has a box where he keeps all of them
• Malcolm kisses Carrington’s hands when he thanks him for his hard work
• Carrington likes to play with Malcolm’s hair, or just run his fingers through them, he claims it’s really calming
