Back Where I Found You (L/R, M)

Back Where I Found You
Lister/Rimmer, M-ish.
Summary: A very, very alternative take on Back to Earth in which Lister and Rimmer are together.

I found the following a particularly apt explanation for why I wrote this: http://i.imgur.com/eYPJUZN.png :p

This was utterly amazeballs.

BTE is so rich in angsty goodness - I do like this take on it :-)

This is such a good explanation for the cold, emotionally distant vibe I get from the early scenes in "BTE". If Rimmer and Lister are in the early stages of a relationship, unsure how much they mean to each other, and then the spectre of Earth puts doubt in both their minds it makes so much more sense. Not only from a slashy perspective, the whole dramatic tone shift from Series VIII (plus the loss of Kochanski of course).

I realise it's not what Doug had in mind, but I prefer this version. ;)

I can see what you meant about it being difficult to work out on Tumblr the other day! But I think you've done a good job.

Katerina's behavior towards Rimmer seems to make more sense as a manifestation of Rimmer's fear and self-loathing than as anybody's wish fulfillment... so in fact I think you made BtE make considerably more sense to me!

Count me among those for whom this makes BTE make some more contextual sense. I liked it anyway, but this enhances the movie.

Now I want to rewatch BT, keeping this fic in mind. :)

No-one does broken-hearted, kicked-puppy, sensitive-little-lamb-in-a-leather-jacket acting like Mr Charles does. *Hugs him*

Which makes it all the better when the light returns to his eyes and the mischievous grin comes back. :)
