Summary
I first did this rewrite back in 2016, and I have only just totally redone this.
I love this Episode so I decided to rewrite the Episode with my OC in the storyline.
**Spoilers If no one has seen the Episode **
I will be updating new Chapter every 2 days
The Red Dwarf crew encounter Ace Rimmer, a parallel-universe version of their own Arnold Rimmer who is brave, popular, and heroic. Ace pilots a dimension-jumping prototype craft and arrives on Red Dwarf by accident after the two ships collide. While Lister and Cat easily befriend Ace along with his instant liking for Luna.
Rimmer develops a strong dislike for him, viewing him as a smug, perfect version of himself that represents all the opportunities and qualities he lacks along with a strong feeling of total jealous towards him with Ace flirting with Luna.
Hope you enjoy. Feel free to comment.
Yet again no Nasty, no cheeky or bitchy comments, only nice and positive

Summary
He didn't hang around when they got back to Red Dwarf. Why would he? Why would he want to hang around the three people who just admitted they don't actually like him? When Starbug touched down, Rimmer left without a word and made himself scarce.
Normally, Lister would just brush it off as Rimmer being Rimmer, taking himself and the joke too seriously. This time it felt different though. An uncomfortable feeling sat at the bottom of his stomach.
Lister begins to feel bad for how they all treated Rimmer on the psymoon, but with a relationship as complex as his and Rimmer's, it's much harder to say sorry than it needs to be.

Summary
It was meant to be a quick eight-month hop to the edge of the Solar System, where Ursula Hurse, Lieutenant, Engineering Officer First Class, was bound for better and brighter things.
Fate has other ideas.
For starters, for some godforsaken reason, it has decreed that she should get stuck on a ship three million years into the future with the neurotic ghost of the boy she used to paint model aeroplanes and play war games with.

Summary
Lister was.. different, Rimmer noted, noticing how he was almost childlike in his current attitude. Well then, if Lister would act like a child, Rimmer would treat him like one. Not in the cruel, tough-love, condescending way, but in the way you’d speak to an excitable and jumpy animal that you were trying your hardest not to scare away, because if you spoke too harsh or too loud, moved too quickly or too suddenly, it would flee and cower.
OR: Lister has a not so nice time cooped up with Rimmer for a week straight during Marooned, but Rimmer is much more understanding than he ever expected the hologram to be.
OR OR: i cant stop writing ts, please help me. -

Summary
Cloned Governor KA3-5555555 of the Blue-hat Cat colony ‘Curiosity’ is in trouble. The crops are struggling, the population is stagnant, and communication with home is at an all-time low on account of the nearby galactic GELF civil war nearing its conclusion ‘any day now’ and a government that seems more interested in self-congratulation than actually helping those posted in the outskirts of their glorious empire.
Still, short of Cloister himself showing up uninvited; he might just about turn this dustbowl around.
----
Still recovering from their time impression in floor 13, the crew take a small break from their attempts to use Wildfire’s jump drive to get Kochanski home to check out a nearby terraformed planet populated by a small settlement of Cats.
