Part 3 of many. Links to previous parts in the fic. Spoilers for the whole Red Dwarf enchilada.

Crit is always good.

*suspicious*
Should I have a box of tissues on standby for the next one?
Ah, yes, alternate Lister. So sweet and yet so very wrong.

cultural..." Lister waved his hand vaguely, "things she enjoyed

That's certainly isn't our Listy.
As for Rimmer....Positive reinforcement is ever so useful. Now write more!

I always did wonder what happened to the Lister that Kochanski left behind. Poor guy :(

It would have been okay if he had just been an asshole who was like "Oh well, so what!" But he was ready to throw himself after her! And then it would have been just him, Cat and Kryten. No Rimmer to keep him sane...That Red Dwarf crew did just look so..cool though.

Yeah, AU!Lister looked pretty stylish. The Cat always looks pretty stylish, but AU!Cat's stance was much cooler. Meanwhile there's our Lister in his pink dressing gown...

Ahh, but Rimmer's alluring in any pose ;)

*jaw drop* Oh. So that's where you're going. Poor AU!Lister...

..This is where I realize that you don't have any more out yet. T_T

Hell, she was an electronic lifeform; they should be able to interface, somehow, shouldn't they? But he had not yet had the nerve to bring it up.
Oh dear god... Bunny...

We have to graduate you to important missions soon, for the good of the universe
"Pfffhhh... Yeah. Good of the universe. Can't believe I used to buy that shite." I know Dave. I know. *sigh*

"She taught me to talk better
SHE MUST DIE! *ahem* *calms down* Phew. Right. Just a fic. Just a fic. *hugs self*

"I had loved her before, but man," Lister shook his head, his lip quivering, "I loved her so much more afterwards."
You know, this aspect of Alt!Kochanski and Alt!Lister has always worried me. I think there's a fic coming there. I mean, Rimmer and Lister influenced one another in subtle ways, and were perhaps the better for it... But the sort of complete turn-around this Lister seems to have done for his Kochanski? It seems to be entirely one-sided, and that is not a good thing.

Great Holly in the end. :)

There just seems to be an implication of superiority there which I don't like. Yes, Lister has some dubious personal habits that could do with changing, but when it comes to apreciating opera and things like that... Being open to new things and apreciating a wide range of for example music is a very good thing, but I rather got the impression that he turned his back on his old interests, which is not good. It's like he has to change to meet her standards. Well, if that's the case, then she's not attracted to him at all, is she? She just wants someone to dress up to fit her ideals.

Yeah, that's an important part of Lister's character, for me; his integrity. He doesn't appologize for or try to hide who he is ("Occupation?" *considers, shrugs* "Bum.") nor does he try to be someone he is not. And he seems to dislike other people who does that kind of thing; consider his reaction to Kryten's transformation in DNA. I wonder what he'd say to Alt!Lister when he realized what he was like?

I really do think Kochanski I was different; they watched movies together and ate in bed, after all. I can't see Kochanski II doing that...
