    Bookmarker's Notes

    I first read this around the time it was published, and I have often thought of it since as an example of a great fanfiction. Reading it again today, it's as good as I remember, if not better. I'm grateful that I remembered enough about it to find it again.
    I think that this fanfiction has had more emotional impact on me than any other. I can't say it made me cry, but it has stuck with me over the years. When I first read it, I was thoroughly closeted. The people who guessed the truth were not kind about it. I was terrified, and I doubted that there was any point in telling anyone, to putting myself through that stress.
    In this story, coming out isn't a fairytale. It's scary. It's imperfect. People react poorly. The universe is bleak (as is the nature of Red Dwarf's setting). But still, it is worth it. You will find relief and acceptance and happiness.

    I really enjoyed the character writing in this fanfic. Great contrast between the leads and between the time periods
