Ye Gods woman, that was beautiful! I'm doubly glad I wrote that fic now, so that this could get written. I blame you! You alone! Bwahaha!
I like Mike's voice (it's like I can't type his name either, lol); something midways between Ace and Arn. Very fitting.
How dare my father not live up to my expectations? *mumbles something about apples and trees*
And when I look out over the farm that I helped Dave to build and seed; when I hold his boys on my knees and make them laugh as their mother smiles indulgently; when I compliment Cat's newest outfit, or plot an improved irrigation system with Kryten, When I cure cancer in my lunch break, when I rescue orphans from white slavery... Oh, wait... For some reason this made me laugh out loud! What a guy! ;)
The images of Red Dwarf were eerily real.
The final paragraphs... So beautiful...
When I see Lister's eyes shine with love and desire for the man he deceives himself into thinking I am, I know just what kind of man my father was. Wowowowow... *sniff* *sob*
Yes, he's a Stu - what can you do? ;) And anyone who's a Stu like that is going to look like an asshole at certain angles - it's the nature of the beast. Cool and self-confident has its limitations, just as neurotic and self-doubting does.
Thanks! Yes, I read Not Enough, and thought that there was something more than pain there - it's a bit of a switchup, Kahvi taking the darker side and me taking the more optimistic one! It has to do with the proximity to April 1, I think. *shuffle back to my angst den*
