Working Relationship
Lister/Rimmer, NC-17
Pre-series (slightly altered timeline). Rimmer has little luck with the ladies; Lister offers to help.

I hope this story makes sense. I'm not sure it does. Sleep-deprived writing is the best/worst/???

Thank goodness for that - I thought for a while that you were going to break the heart of youthful pre-series, puppy dog eyed Lister. I surprised myself by how protective I feel towards him.

Yes, I know he's a fictional character and all that, but he's just so adorable. And innocent despite all his experience. It's an odd combination - someone who's been around at a young age but still fervently believes in true love. *Hugs him*

Oh, and you made good use of Petersen as comic relief, which is how he works best. :)

That's right, you mess with baby Lister and Janamelie will come after you with a pitchfork!

I absolutely love it! It's great reading a long fic that takes place before "The End" and one that is so beautifully written. Very much in-character and very sweet - I enjoyed every single sentence.

Also, as a side note, I ADORED the chapter written from Petersen's POV. The poor sod gets too little fandom love, and I think you characterized him perfectly. A hint of tragic sadness underlying his ridiculous antics and his drinking - brilliant!

And yay for a happy ending ♥♥♥

This was so sweet. I love thinking about alternative ways that life on Red Dwarf could have gone for the boys pre-accident if just a few things had happened differently.

It always makes me happy to see Petersen make an appearance too. :)
