Forwards. PG-13. R/L implications.

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

This fic starts just after the book Backwards ends. Contains major spoilers for that book and the two before (Infinity Welcomes... and Better Than Life). It was never stated that Ace told Lister about the problem with dimension jumping, but since it was such a big plot point in the book, I wanted to play with what that implied for where Lister ended up.

Why do you look at me like that?

Concrit always welcome.

Ooooh... Again!

Aw, hell...

Oh, bad Lister, bad! Ah, but it's just hormones. He'll come around. Seriously, he will. I know him. :)
