Based on kahvi's Not Enough. If there's anything good in this fic, blame her...
Again, major spoilers for Last Human.

I wanted to know the man he really was.

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*

Thank you. I feel better now. :)

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.

Awww, I'm glad you feel better! *another hug*
