FICS: (Dis)Orientation and Life Drawing (PG, Art College AU, Rimmer/Lister pre-slash)

(Dis)Orientation
PG
HS
Set in September 2174 on the Saturnian moons of Calypso, Telesto and Tethys, in this open-ended AU Arnold Rimmer, aged 25, has made the decision to quit the Space Corps and pursue an arts degree. In this part he meets his new roommate, Dave Lister, an engineering student with a lax attitude towards unimportant things like classes.

Life Drawing
PG
HRS
Part two of the open-ended Art College AU, in which Arnold takes a life drawing class and gets to see rather more of his roommate than he would’ve liked.

Red Dwarf characters belong to Grant Naylor Productions and the BBC.

Dedicated to Ver, Nat, Caz, Fia, Arella and Bitsy. Always and always.

(Dis)Orientation and Life Drawing, archived at AO3.

Just so you know, this was well and truly inspired by veronica_rich and metalkatt, but since I started it absolutely months and months ago I can't remember what the smeg they said to inspire it.

These are the first two bits. I don't know how many bits there will be, but I do have story notes about what Kochanski, McGruder, Todhunter and Hollister, amongst others, are also doing in this AU, so there will be more at some point, and of course there will eventually be actual slash, not just pre-slash. I just couldn't leave these bits unposted any longer after I finished 'Life Drawing' at five o'clock this morning.

Actually, you'll want to credit metalkatt too - we both came up with a germ of an idea (I think Rimmer being an artist was her idea), but you DID stuff with it, and awesomely so far. :-D

Ahhh that'll be why it's ringing so true for me then ;-) hehehe. Nice work.
