Special Occasions

[janamelie.livejournal.com]

This may seem a little random, but it's Mother's Day in the UK and I'm in a happy, fluffy mood, which set me wondering about which special occasions people think are best suited to the Boyz from the Dwarf, fic-wise.  With Lister's romantic nature, Valentine's is obvious, but getting Rimmer to join in would be the hurdle there.

Also with Mother's and Father's Day for obvious reasons, but Lister's unusual background has yielded a few stories there.  Kronette's given us a few lovely Christmas fics.

I have head canon regarding Rimmer's childhood experiences with Halloween which probably rules that out too, unless you're feeling sadistic.

Perhaps the more obscure ones like Pancake Day and Bonfire Night, which boil down to an excuse to pig out, are more IC.  (I have a bunny regarding the latter and Deb, Arlene, Jim and Bexley which will hopefully get written one day.)

And then there's the most personal one, birthdays or in Rimmer's case, deathdays as seen in "Thanks For The Memory".  I wonder if he now considers that to override whatever his birth date was?

Did Lister (or Cat) ever mention Gazpacho Soup Day again? :p
