(loosely inspired from the Bright Sessions Caleb eps)
Everything is the same as canon except Caleb is a powerful empath. He feels others emotions to the point that they sometimes overwhelm his own.
The night he burned his family, he didn't just hear their screams, he felt their fear and pain.
Of course, it wasn't until later that he realized the reason the memory of his parents as traitors rang so very false. The emotions didn't feel right.
So either young!Caleb learning control in a very sexy way with Eodwulf/Astrid, or now!Caleb trying to hide his abilities from Fjord or Cad but it gets increasingly more difficult the more feelings being felt. Or both ;)
*I really like the idea that Cad is an emotional safe zone 95% of the time. He's just so calm and mellow that he helps Caleb ground himself.*
+++ Caleb's partner knows about his ability before actual sex happens. +++ Emotional intimacy as well as physical intimacy.
No emotional manipulation in regards to consent, plz. and let's skip the harder kinks for this one.
