A/N: AU ending to Out Of Time. Spoilers up through that episode. Many thanks to musicisavictim for initiating this conversation.

Part the first.

The clones were scant enough reason for decorum; they did not care for it, and he did not care for them. "I smegging... miss him."

TREEPORN!!!!! Waieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Happiness, no death :)

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

Meep. Yes, treeporn.

Well, no death, but not quite happiness yet, either. ;) Danke, glad you liked!

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

Yes, treeporn. Porn is hard when you can't move. ;)

And like roadstergal said, they're not exactly at happiness yet. Rimmer needs a little more than that at the best of times, and he has just had 300 years of bad times.

Yay happy feedback! :D

[day221b.livejournal.com]

You guys are still kicking some serious tail here! More please!

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

Thank ye! More to come. ;)

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

Danke! More is coming. :D

[musicisavictim.livejournal.com]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Thankyou. I'm so happy you picked up my idea. You did a great job with it. :)

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

:D

Glad you're enjoying what we've done with it. More to come. ;)

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

It's been a hoot! Glad you like. :D

[musicisavictim.livejournal.com]

Now, in Narnia when they planted a metal bar and a toffee........ Does that mean that if Rimmer plants Lister..?

[jaclynhyde.livejournal.com]

"Couldn't..." Lister paused, looking at that familiar face, that familiar body, as something finally allowed itself to click. "Help herself." He shifted on the floor again, the floodgates of feeling now irrevocably open, and sighed. Aw hell. He was in deep smeg indeed.
Awwww!

I'm not entirely sure why treeporn makes me grin like a maniac, but, apparently it does. This is all your fault. ;)

[jaclynhyde.livejournal.com]

Forgot to add that Rimmer admitting that he misses Lister also elicits an "Awwwwwww!".

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

I really love that moment. Yes, it's because he's completely broken down, which is a bad thing, but he's just so open. *sigh*

Oh, and his thoughts about wanting to hurt who he thinks is a clone pretending to be Lister were eerily powerful. Gave me shivers. (That was roadstergal's work, obv. - it's not like I sit around admiring my own writing. ;) )

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that was the moment, all right. And he is in deep smeg! Not that it isn't enjoyable smeg, but smeg nonetheless. *nods*

Heh, we should keep a running tally of the things Rimmer blames for his situation in this fic. I have some favorites that I can't divulge yet... ;)

Glad the enjoyment continues!

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

Treeporn is always good. Treeporn and Space Corps Directives. Oh - *makes note for next fic*

Yeah, that bit just made me sniffle. :(

Glad you liked!

Pushing Up Daisieser

*snort*

nude summersaults

Weeeee!

no matter how witty he made his comments about the decline of the quality of Hammond organ music in the early 22nd century, and his theories as to why this could be linked to variations in the trading value of wheat on the European commodities market.

Ever such a turn on.

Rimmer sidled out of the hut, almost tripping over the bottle of scented oil that had been pointedly placed there

Ah, the Lister people are deligtful!

Treeporn!!!!! That make me happy beyond decency.

Seriously though, the whole beginging was beautiful and heartbreaking. Poor Rimmer. And Lister too, but especially Rimmer. I loved Lister beeing all propud and protective of his people. And, oh what a planet!
The scene in Rimmer's hut was.....good....yes.
Eagarly awating more.

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

The Lister-folk were a delight to work with. They've set up camp on the outskirts of my mind. It's quite nice there, but I hope they won't stay long, my head feels very clear and open-minded now...

We like this planet. More to come - glad you liked! :D

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

my head feels very clear and open-minded now

Ruh-roh - are you making deep confessions at bad times now?

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

Well, I did show my co-workers the picture of Craig on my phone, said I was in love with him, then went into a long rambling explanation about how this did not affect my relationship with cobos

*pauses*

Hell, they are in my heaaaad! *tries to shake them out*

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

*shakes head* "That's why I never touch the stuff, miladdio." *archly*

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's an interesting contrast with Rimmerworld! Lister actually likes his clones. ;) Rimmer just finds them maddening beyond description. Of course, they do have a redeeming feature or two that he might have to grudgingly admit at some point - but not very loudly, no.

Glad you liked! More is coming.

[lady-draco.livejournal.com]

*sighs*

Yes, yes. You know I love ... Just wanted to post to show that I've read ...

*gears up for ...*

TREEPORNEH!!! I begs for more. Linda begs for more. My beer begs for more. Even my brother begs for more! (Okay, that last one was a lie).

Okay ... you guys rule. :D And as I to Kat, you guys are the top of the range mate. :)

[lady-draco.livejournal.com]

Oh good. I forget words ...

As I SAID to Kat, you guys are the top of the range, mate :)

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

Yay icon!

We knew you'd like it, obviously. I've been so excited about posting this part! And we decree you shall have more! Watch this space... ;)

And you are much too kind, m'dear.

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

I did promise you that treeporn would appear in a fic I was involved with at some point. ;)

Oh, you don't have to beg, and neither does your beer! We're happy to oblige. :D

[zekkass.livejournal.com]

Aie. I am confused by the opening paragraphs and the proceding events. It's all good, though.

He watched the hologram, his expression as unreadable as ever, but with things lurking under the surface that chilled Lister to the bone. Oh yes. Something bad.

Oh, Lister. It's like Rimmerworld, only worse. :(

"That's not.. possible," Rimmer told the tree. It rustled slightly, not replying. "They killed Lister. Lister. Cat. Kryten."

Angsty tree-porn. I don't know whether to laugh, whap Rimmer, or hug him.

These vines were not letting his feet go without a struggle. They didn't hurt, though, thank whatever deity those clones refused to believe in; they just held him there, firmly.

Good Lister-vines. Give 'em a treat for knowing what to do.

"He loves you, though," Lena said matter-of-factly, handing him back the roll.

Yay for seeing the truth!

"You're alive - and we're stuck in smegging free-love hippieville."

Otherwise known as Listerland. X3

A race of peaceful, loving souls, raised by Rimmer? Give the man a medal.

Yes. Good Rimmer.

"Take it off, burn it, run around naked. They won't care."

And I suspect you won't either, Rimmer. *wink*

He missed, he realized, just being around Rimmer out of choice; not just because they were in the same cockpit out of necessity.

Bam. And there it is. VI is/was a great season, but for them not to bunk together...*shakes head*

The tree started to move, as if in a wind that must have built up in the previously still night rather abruptly.

Treeeeporn. X3

Mmm. I'm off for the next chapter.

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

Ah, ja, it was a bit of a twisty plot bit thing going. Rimmer was pretty dang confused, too!

As Linds says, treeporn is the best porn. It's a bit hard to describe in the subject, though. Rimmer/foliage?

That's exactly what killed me about VI - things were very close and very mean, like proximity made them all acutely aware of those things that had room to fester on Red Dwarf. It was nasty, but I feel that it was cathartic, too, in terms of how it spit them out the other side (and ach, if only Rimmer had stayed).

[zekkass.livejournal.com]

Yes, but it all sorted itself out before Rimmer got killed, thankfully.

Label it as Rimmer/Tree? Put treeporn in the warnings?

If only, if only. Bloody production problems. :(

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

Ah, but then how would be surprise and horrify people with it? ;)

[zekkass.livejournal.com]

Good point. Hm. Rimmer/OC? Then it'd be up there, but not marked as foliage/tree/shrubbery.

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

Hehehe... I loved when Rimmer started talking to the tree! roadstergal has a way of springing things like that on the story that seasons it with goodness.

And the vines, the vegetation... The benign and cuddly little woodland creatures - so much of that was her. Loved it.

Tensions are so high in VI, aren't they? I love that roadstergal is writing it now, because it lends it self so well to fic exploration.

And yes, treeporn. That was fun. :)

Thanks muchly for more commenty goodness!

[ekisa-himani.livejournal.com]

*Hugs the treeporn.* XD

Geeze.. Rimmer's a stubborn thing, isn't he? Alhough, he got there in the end ;)

Personally, I think that since Lister's alive, Cat and Kryten must be alive. The optimist in me insists it. You guys wouldn't leave them dead. I hope...

*Runs off to read part 3.*

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

Stubborn? Oh hell, yes. *shakes head* But we loves him. :)

Glad you're still enjoying, reading and commenting!

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

Ah, it's who he is. Lister will always be an optimist, Rimmer will always be a smeghead.

Lister is stubborn, too - he's just more frequently right. :)
