Bookmarker's Notes
Such a fascinating premise in this fic. Simply put: what if Rimmer was gone for over a century as Ace? He returns home but he isn't the same anymore. What follows from that? How do the crew, especially Lister, adapt to a person who isn't the man they knew?

Amazing prose - one of those RD fics that look at the canon of Rimmer’s backstory, take away the jokes, and examine the tragedy that is left behind. Made me feel all emotional over Rimmer’s story again :,)
Would pair well with mintyfrog’s “One Good Thing,” for exploring Rimmer’s childhood and finding hope in the darkness.

Summary
Ace returns to Starbug! Well, Rimmer does. And he hasn't learned a damned thing during his travels, by the way, and you can't make him, because life lessons are about more than dressing up as some B-movie action hero and having tons of gay sex. Or a lack thereof.
Except maybe he doesn't mind the part where everyone likes Ace. And maybe it's better to keep that going than to admit that plain, boring, horrible old Rimmer's finally found his way back home. And maybe Lister seems to like Ace a little too much, and maybe Rimmer likes that Lister likes Ace a little too much...

INCREDIBLE Ace-era RD fic. It's got some of the best sci-fi settings that build out of the existing RD world I've read from RD fic so far - engineer Lister and pilot Rimmer? The entire Skipper chapter? And the author has done such a great job in exploring why the "Ace" character has such, frankly, horrific implications for Rimmer, by following along also with an Ace who never managed to go home. 1 chapter to-be-written, and I can't wait for it!

Summary
Arnold was stupid and slow, needy and nervous and only really served to make life harder for everyone else. Still, that didn't mean John wanted to watch his little brother starve to death.
Did I accidentally make John Rimmer a good guy? Maybe

So this is perhaps my favourite RD fic of all time, now. It's beautiful and tragic, and it's just about Rimmer receiving one ounce of love from his family. This author is incredible at writing the voices of RD in a way that feels accurate but allows for the tragedy of it all to come through, too. The ending!!
