Good Things Come in Threes, (L/R/R Explicit)

My second submission for the Red Dwarf Fic Remix Fest

http://archiveofourown.org/works/4958278

This was quite a labor of love! My original intent was just to take janamelie's lovely Three's Company fic, and just make it a bit pornier (what can I say, porn is what I do best), and change the setting a bit so that Lister and Rimmer are in an established relationship already, and this is a recurring dream that Lister gets regularly.

However, once I started writing, these boys would just NOT behave themselves. I literally felt like they were just doing whatever they wanted as I was trying to write the story. High Rimmer started acting like a priestly version of Errol Flynn all on his own, but then I realized how much it made sense since Ace Rimmer was similarly made up of Rimmer's better qualities.

And holy smeg is it hard to write threesomes. "Oh wait, them two are doing this, so what is the other one doing? Wait, who's got what where? The position I'm describing them in, is that physically possible? Oh smeg it all." <-- Me the whole time I was writing this.

Still, even though it wound up much more different than I originally intended, I hope it's still enjoyable, and I hope you like it janamelie! :-)

I've commented on AO3 but I wanted to add that I love how you had High Rimmer go all swashbuckling Indiana Jones! It makes complete sense for the character.

You also brought out the fact that if Lister's dreaming of a threesome with two versions of Rimmer, he must be pretty far gone on our version. I like that Rimmer was amused rather than threatened.

Threesomes are indeed hard to write, but your labours were definitely worth it. :)

I contemplated having Lister say, "What a guy." after High Rimmer dips him, but I thought that'd be a bit too much. ;-)

I like just about any excuse to write "Established Relationship" Listy and Rimsy, it just does my heart well. I liked the idea of the dirty dream not having to be a secret, and instead have it be just a regular occurrence that Rimmer chides Lister about a little bit. :-)

I don't know if I'll ever endeavor to write a threesome again, because yes, it was definitely a challenge. Although, I just remembered, I do have another threesome idea in my little "slashspirations" note that I use to keep tabs of any ideas I get for new fics. Smeg. I may have to write at least one more, some day. :-)

Can I ask whom it involves? ;)

Originally when I decided to do a Legion fic, I was going to tell it from Rimmer's point of view. The idea was that he was lying about the starched pajamas and boxing gloves, to cover up what his room was REALLY like. He was essentially going to have a 2-3 identical Lister slave-boys fawning over him, feeding him grapes, ridiculous stuff like that. And of course, sex. ;-)

Before I got to writing it though, the idea for "Never Enough" popped into my head, and I liked it better. The Lister boys would have had to be holograms, and I liked that the Never Enough situation allowed for the encounter to be real, and not just a fantasy.

Still, I'd like to write it eventually when the mood strikes me, because I think the potential for amusement would be very high, with a nervous, stammering, over-stimulated Rimmer, and a slew of horny Lister's who just want to please him. :-D

I love the sound of that! I think you'd make a great job of that. :D

Ah, yes. I've had that fantasy too.
