245. R/L fic. G.

The slash is subtle. If you're not looking for it, it isn't there. A little ficlet about Lister post-Rimmer.

A break from all of that anal-retentive smeg is just what he needed.

I always have a harder time writing Lister...

Your Lister isn't bad at all; I like him. I'd comment on how I see Lister's reactions as somewhat different, but the funny thing is, I wrote a little ficlet yesterday about his thoughts regarding Rimmer leaving, which I'm hoping to post tonight. I'll let that speak for me. I enjoyed this version too!

Gah - my virgin brain! Perfect, but eeeh!

"This is the last load, right? I've been at this all day. I'm not a dog, ya know."
Very Cat.

Lister had never felt a single pang of guilt about saving his beloved guitar, certainly not when the price was a chunk of wood out of a chest that Rimmer couldn't touch, a reminder of a father who didn't love him.
Uhuh. Keep telling yourself that, Dave.

The empty chair behind him was a presence of absence, a thunderous silence.
Nice. I like how this is subtly hinted at with the back of Lister's neck itching.

Great work, as usual!

Ah, interesting. I'll have to read your fic and see if I'm moved to revise mine. I do feel like doing so... there was a change in Lister from pre- to post-Rimmer, and I want to work that in, somehow. He cleaned up; compare the curry-stained long johns in Legion to the sparkly white ones in Blue.

Danke for the comments!
