Red Dwarf Slash

He doesn't need to snoop about in someone's dream recorder either, for this one.

From:

I wonder what a comprehensive dream recorder scan would show us.

From:

OOooh, lots of sex, I'm sure. With or without Rimmer.

From:

*snrk* Rimmer involved in most, I'm sure. Kryten must be getting annoyed about washing his sheets. Maybe that's why he resents Kochanski - ja, Rimmer doesn't have as many in-and-out bits, but he has more than enough!

From:

*dies* But I thought Kryten liked doing laundry...

From:

As long as Mister Lister isn't thinking of leaving him! Say, to find a certain hapless space hero standin and see if reality improves on wet dreams...

From:

to find a certain hapless space hero standin and see if reality improves on wet dreams That demands a fic, it really does. Complete with Kryten pacing and whimpering at Kochanski.

I just can't seem to write anything more than a paragraph lately.

From:

The idea of it being raised, without Lister's knowledge, and Kryten going nuts about it - I like. Maybe Kochanski confronting Kryten after Blue - or after him mucking up her program in Beyond A Joke, and that leading to The Rimmer Exprience. Hmm, I might do that for ff100.

From:

Pleasepleaseplease do! I'll give you, uhm...this puppy? *holds up a pup by the ears a la Lyndon Johnson*

From:

"If you pick 'em up by their ears, it doesn't hurt 'em as much." Hee, I love Good Morning, Vietnam. And I swear there's something between Cronauer and Garlick.

Aww... *pets it* Will do!

From:

*rubs hands together* Eeeexcellent.

From:

Just a digression for looking at your icon - wasn't that an overtly sexual way to touch someone to show them you loved them as a mate? Wouldn't an arm around the shoulder or the back, or a hug, be more natural?
Of course slashers knows that he could not resist the idea of grabbing the inside of Rimmers thighs ::g::
I still wonder why that was done like that in the show - don't think I heard any explanations for it.

From:

Ja, that is so sexual. I mean, even comparing the way Kryten put his hand on Rimmer's leg to the way Lister did...

If I want to comfort and reassure someone platonically, I don't leap right to putting my hand on his or her inner thigh. And Rimmer doesn't exactly leap back in disgust. More of a bemused, "Hey, he likes me enough to feel me up?" expression.

(I also just love the juxtaposition of their hands in that cap.)

From:

I seem to remember that Rimmers reaction is looking at it and visually swallowing - so he is not missing the sexual implication of the touch and yes, he doesn't leap back in horror as you would expect due to earlier homophobic comments ::g::
It's like "he is feeling up me, not that git Ace".

From:

Oh, yes, that is high on my list of "slash ahoy!" scenes. I slahsed these two before I ever saw VII - by the time Blue came around, I just felt vindicated. :)

From:

RD was one of the many series/movies I rewatched after discovering that these vague ideas of mine was something called slash and shared by many :-)
I always thought they were a couple, but when I started rewatching on DVD I really thought it was terribly slashy, and I didn't remember the kiss in VII (like Chris, I was trying to forget series VII ::g::). But to me it was always the way the reacted to each other, the obvious caring in the moments when things were too important for bickering, like when Rimmers father "died" or Lister is taken ill.
The scene on the psi-moon and the dream scene made me feel sad more than elated, because of what followed...
But fanfic and making my own editing of things makes it much more easy to enjoy them now.

From:

Ja, Red Dwarf fans are spoiled with innuendo. :) God, Terrorform really is horrid, and I did have to write a fic dealing with Lister's thoughts, because the last bit seems, on the outset, so damn callous - but then when you juxtapose it with how overtly sexual Lister was just before...

As said in your documentary, old married couple. :) Bicker about all things, except when the other person is obviously in deep smeg. I do love that scene in C&P when Lister falls ill, and then in Me Sqaured when Rimmer bares his soul. It's like the first tentative outreaches, and then there's some pulling back later, as there is when you think you've let out too much - but always that reaching out again, in one way or another, until (damn it to hell) the very end of SMAC (but the innuendo that laces that ep up until Rimmer blasts off!).

From:

Yes, I think it is almost painful to see the end of that episode. The thing is, Lister is most of the time considering himself a decent fellow, so being so cruel is a bit out of character. Really, I am not surprised that Rimmer decided to ditch them all in Rimmerworld. If he tried to attack the mutant, most likely the ship would have disintegrated anyway. And Lister standing there talking about all they had been through together must have sounded quite hypocritical to Rimmer.
The thing is, Lister coming back to get Rimmer is out of some boyscout "don't leave anyone behind" idea, not because he care at all for Rimmer. Or at least that must be how it looks like for Rimmer. And Rimmer don't understand this boyscout thing, but he does understand doing things for someone you love - the only really noble thing he did so far was to the only person he had ever encountered who cared about him as a person (Holoship). So I think they coming for him in Terrorform ended up meaning nothing to him after their cruel rejection of him.
Of course WE know Lister actually cares, but he has a few lessons to learn, that is clear.

From:

Ja, Rimmer and Lister do not speak the same language. When Rimmer bolted, I bet he was thinking, "Ja, so what have you done for me lately?" while Lister was thinking, "Dumb smegging coward." The thing is, Cat is just as selfish as Rimmer is, but it doesn't seem to bother Lister as much. :p I think it's because Lister knows Rimmer could be more - but again, they never talk. I think Lister and Nirvanah have that in common - they see the good person that Rimmer could be. But only Nirvanah says so, in so many words.

Lister does always go back for Rimmer. Backwards, Terrorform, Rimmerworld - when Cat would happily leave him behind. But our neurotic pile of smeg needs explicit words as well as actions.

From:

And he was ready to believe the words in Terrorform - and they were taken back. Neurotic or not, I think anyone would have had a bit problems with trusting Lister or anyone else after that. But partly he does, cant help it, poor smeghead, Lister is all he got. And Lister betrays him again and sends him off to a quick and certain death as Ace Rimmer.
I keep thinking of an idea of what might happen that would make them meet again and Lister having to confront what he did. But unfortunately I am a vidder, not a writer ::sigh::

From:

I think Lister confronts what he did - he's too emotional for me to believe he just pitches it aside! I like thinking about his dreams after SMAC - I can't believe he had just one dream where he snogged Rimmer, and that was all. ;)

I think he's kinder to ressurected!Rimmer soley for that reason - somehow, trying to make up for what he did to holoRimmer.

From:

Well, I think the eternally optimistic Lister probably tried not to think too hard of it, and if he did tried see it as a good thing, and Kryten really did his best to help him rationalise it. But he can not fool his subconscious ::G::
Of course he kept dreaming. And he was nice to the resurrected Rimmer because he missed HoloRimmer, whether he realised it or not, and couldn't help being nice. Also of course knowing so much more about Rimmer than what he did back when.
But I don't think he ever actually was confronted with what he did, because he had nobody to discuss it with, and Lister was never a person to dwell on uncomfortable things that he couldn't change.
