Title: S-E-X and History 6/?
Author: roses_are_a_weed
Rating: NC-17/ADULT/FRAO
Warnings: (So far) Angst (which I find more an enticement than a warning), bad behaviour from people in the past, slight hints of non-con.

Pairings: Lister/Rimmer, past OMC/Rimmer, Surprise!/Rimmer, slight hints of Kryten/Lister.
Disclaimer: As I am not a delusional lunatic I do not believe that Red Dwarf or any of its characters are mine, nor do I expect to make any profit from this work of fiction.

Summary: (Sequel to Not Quite Sex or Death, But Almost as Bad.) Things might be looking up (or down, or sideways); they’re not floating through space without a left engine and no oxygen, they aren’t in any immediate mortal peril, and they’ve found a Red Dwarf; it’s just not the Red Dwarf. Of course Lister isn’t in a position to appreciate this, how could he after… what happened…? And to make things stranger he’s about to discover that a multi-million dollarpound mining vessel can’t go missing without someone noticing. And Rimmer, well he’s got problems of his own…

Spoilers: Er… probably bits and pieces from every season until seven (especially Out of Time) as well as the books, though probably not The Last Human, as I only read that once and it was a very long time ago.

Notes: Fic of massive self-indulgence. Beware. Also, not finished yet but I felt like posting. I am so sorry it's taken so long to get anymore done, I've had writer's block around this fic, which has been less than pleasant.
Here's the first part of the fic, for those that need the reminder.

I don't know if anyone else has been following this fic, but I really enjoy it. It's pretty easy to forget there was an Earth (or Io) in the immediate years after the boys left, because so often the only glimpses of the home-system we get in the series are from future-Earth (like when Kryten is from). The plot is very interesting--everyone knows Rimmer's chidlhood sucked, but it's a nifty exercise to create the Ionian upbringing that made it so bad.

And the conversation about penises between Cat and Lister was hilarious. Alexander the Great's chief eunuch indeed...

That part was amusing. Also, sort of creepy XD

Coming back to Red Dwarf fandom after 3 million years away, I am gratified to find that A: someone out there is writing new fic! and B: It's fic of substance and quality. I'm really enjoying your many inventive storylines, and the way you're weaving them together. A+ and carry on!
