You know, I like the title of this. ;)

Well, the first time around, that had been every birthday from puberty to the death of the human race
Yes indeedy.

freeing the other to drop the small cup of espresso into the stein of lager, and to upend the curry paste over his oatmeal.
Perfect Lister-breakfast, and so casually done.

I adored the self-destruct button/boot thing. Some great Holly there too.

You know, when I first read this, I went "aaaw... They'll be happy now!" *sigh* You'd think I know better by now. But yes, even having read the next one, I do like the ending here. Very comfortable, the boys being the boys, happy (and not) in their way.

Also; the backstory of this Rimmer and his Lister fascinates me. I do think he would be happier with this Lister, because there seemed to be something... I dunno... Lacking with the one he had. But yes, more on that as this series progresses, I suppose. :)

*blush* Thanks! Heh, in the movie version of Auntie Mame, Rosalind Russell says, "Pipe down, dear; your Auntie Mame's hung." That wormed into my mind and would not leave.

Well, Lister's in a good place now with respect to Rimmer. But you know Rimmer... :p He never really delt with Lister's death (that isn't stated in canon, but he needs prodding, and Kryten and Holly aren't the ones to do that). The current Lister is a better partner for him, because he's a partner - but that's just another thing Rimmer has to deal with. That this Lister is a better man than he is, in some ways.

Ah yes, that's it. They can be equals. Heh, even as I write that I can imagine Rimmer's reaction to such an idea. Preposterous!
