    Summary

    Oh no, Lister thought, what if the man is close to cracking up? This fear eclipsed his claustrophobia. Being locked in a lift with a delirious, hysteric, terrified Rimmer was surely the ultimate horror?

    Summary

    When Rimmer starts glitching, he decided the best thing to do is to keep it a secret. This goes about as well as you'd expect. Left alone in the hologram projection suite, Rimmer begins to spiral and help comes in an unlikely form

      Bookmark Notes:

      THIS WAS SO GOOD!! One of those fics which point out a simple fact of canon - that Rimmer is intrinsically linked to the ship's power source, and what the means for his existence - and then explores the emotional fallout of it. Also has a really cool hologram idea: buffering, and what being stuck in this state would feel like for the hologram involved

    Summary

    Dave Lister believes that he is a good person. But when Rimmer contracts a holovirus, buried memories resurface and Lister is forced to acknowledge that perhaps he hasn't always been *quite* as good as he would like to think. But it's never too late to put something right... right?

    Summary

    Summary

    The first time it happens is with the lights off and the door securely locked. It's a collision of bodies more than anything else - the release of years of pent-up need and carnal desire. The relief of finally being able to touch, and be touched is overwhelming. Then Rimmer leaves to prance around the galaxy and its multitude of dimensions as Ace, and Lister is left alone again to realise just how much he's lost.

    And Lister's past humiliation now, past a disbelieving sort of doubt. He's right onto the part of being well and truly smegged, because Rimmer's gone and he isn't coming back and Lister's in love with him.

    Summary

    "Rimmer had always been in the habit of keeping a diary. It helped, in a way, knowing that once the day's pain and humiliation were over, he could rewrite it whatever way he wanted.
    Certainly, it had started as an earnest historical record of humanity's last days, but eventually the agony of reliving his past mistakes had driven Rimmer to make… edits. And maybe, just maybe, those edits had gone a bit… off the rails, as of late."

    Or, the boys get SO smegging weird about each other.
    You can consider this set in an alternate series 3-4 as that's where I was in my rewatch when I started on this, but it borrows elements from the entire show.

    Summary

    It's extremely lonely out in space. How they deal with it is not necessarily healthy.

    An anthology of stories in one contiguous, canon universe. Explores their entire star-crossed relationship from Series 1 - TPL

    I plan on doing 2 short stories per series and one for TPL and two for BTE as well as a conclusion (26 stories total), so it's ambitious. Wish me luck.

    Also, every chapter except #1 has explicit horny behaviour. Enjoy!

    With this many stories happening you can probably tag this with every NSFW tag under the sun.

    When Rimmer picks up a holovirus that forces him to tell the truth, he makes a lot of embarrassing admissions. One of those admissions may or may not be how he's been in love with his smeghead of a bunkmate for years.

Although Kryten can help Lister with most basic tasks, Series 4000 mechanoids do have the drawback of not being waterproof. The job of helping Lister bathe himself will have to fall on someone else.

    Summary

    Kristine needed some way to keep herself sane. Her Dave had been brought back to maintain her sanity, and with the two of them... separated, she was forced to come up with her own alternatives.

    So her imagination had stepped in for her, created an escape inside her mind. She was lying, pretending, wishing things were back the way they should. She wasn't trapped here on this cranky, squeaky, tiny ship. She wasn't dimensions apart from the love of her life. She certainly wasn't instead stuck with this pathetic bootleg version who seemed perfectly willing to lick three-million-year-old curry off his own feet.

    ...Maybe she should've just let herself fall into that void in the inter-dimensional nothingness.

    But she hadn't. And it's no good thinking like that now. Despite her misgivings with this crew, at least they had kept her alive. She owed them as much to not just go die on them. She owed her Dave that much.
