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."

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.

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.

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!
