Ficlet: Substitute. R.

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

No, I don't know why I keep writing about these two. I can speculate, but it's not a pretty sight.

Rimmer had dealt with many substitutes in his life.

Crit is always good. Written for fanfic100. Little Damn Table.

You keep writing about them cause it's such a great pairing. It's just...

leaving her staticky and prone to stick to things - his bunk, the walls, his own back

Gods. The mental images.

I think that's why I love them. The mental images! They just don't stop!

Rachel returns!!!

*laughs*

Ahhh, it is such a lovely, romantic couple. ;) Wonderful, chicken.

*happily uses one of your icons* Hee.

:D Aww! You know, I'd make an OTP icon, but Rimmer never appears with Rachel - just that brief moment in SMAC, and I dunno if they're close enough in the shot. Somehow, I don't think I'll have any luck finding a picture of Mister Barrie cuddling a love doll.

We could try asking him nicely.

Kat? Linds?

[lady-draco.livejournal.com]

Sure, why not. I'll just grab one from the sex shop on my way through.

*imagines presenting it to Chris*

Bwahahahaha.

"Could you pose for a picture with my friend?" *passes her over*

Oh dear lord...

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

I can just see him grabbing a pushpin. *pop* *fppprrrrrrrssss...*

Oh, man, I just saw the Lost In Translation photo shoot in my head. "With... intensity!"

How do you manage to portray a relationship - and I do feel the term is appropriate - between a man and a sex-doll so realistically and emotionally? It just seems so right, you know. In all its wrongness. Yet again.

:(

She did not follow his movements around the room with her eyes when he did his daily exercises.
Ah yes...

Very clever this, in the way that Rimmer doesn't realize the way he is actually admitting to himself that he wants Lister. You have to have a certain horrified admiration for a mind that manages to trick itself in such intricate ways.

And so sweet, despite it all!

*blush* Thanks!

Well, in a lot of ways, she's the woman that Rimmer always thought he wanted. Quiet, attentive, uncritical.

You're the one who pointed out to me how Lister does that, but I can't not see it, now, in just about every episode!

Yes, Rimmer is The King Of Denial. All hail!

The images...How do you do that? By now Rachel has her own character, and I'm expecting her to walk around on the Starbug and irritate Kryten and so on...

Wow. Good job.

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thanks! Well, she may be just a doll, but I had an idea that Rimmer would put a personality on her - and everything just went from there. Meep!
