Ficlet - Gone. R/L ambiguity, R/K oddity.

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

I finally got my dad to agree to watch Red Dwarf. I chose Tikka To Ride as the one that would probably appeal to him the most. As I was watching the flashback to Out Of Time, I started to wonder what would have happened if Rimmer had been just a second faster... and I wrote this on the plane on the way home.

Not a happy fic; character death, shower sex that just isn't right, angst. Spoilers through Out Of Time.

The one brave thing he's ever done in his life, and he did it too late.
