Fic: Escape. PG. Rimmer/Lister

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

Authors: Kahvi and Roadstergal
Title: Escape, Part 1
Pairing: Rimmer/Lister
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: We only wish we owned Red Dwarf. Especially after those pictures Linds posted.
Notes: After talking about doing a gestalt fic for a while now, Kahvi emailed me and said, "Are we going to actually DO this sometime this century?" Oh. Yes. Well. So here you go.
AU, by the end. It is set between Legion and the Thursday before Gunmen of the Apocalypse. Spoilers for Legion, Marooned, Terrorform, and probably a few others.

Smegging bastard!

COLLAB! YAY!

You guys are my heroes. You see the R/L subtext in the show and articulate it so eloquently without sacrificing personality or plausibility. It's like you've actually seen inside the character's heads or lived their lives! I feel guilty for not commenting on your fics more often, I enjoy them so much.

shrieking like a newly-minted eunuch Has to be my favourite line XD

And the text part with Lister's bad spelling and Rimmer's very proper grammar had me in stitches!

I can't wait to see what happens next.

Sighed your stalker fangirl

Danke! I had such a blast working with kahvi that I'd have happily done it even if nobody read it afterwards, but it's doubly fun knowing that it's enjoyed! :D

Yay fangirls! :D

Thank ye for the kind words; we had too much fun doing this. As did the Rimmer and Lister in our heads.

I'm glad the bad spelling works; it's surprisingly hard to spell badly in English when it's not your native language without having it look like bad English.

More to come, yes yes! Hurrah!

Woah. There's more to come, right? *grins*

The pod shook like a palsied Golden Retriever as it launched from Starbug. - I shouldn't laugh, I really shouldn't. Damn you.

Nothing on this ship seemed to work right; everything was stuck together with gaffer tape and chewing gum, always just on the verge of breaking down. So true!

As they moved backwards and forwards in a parody of a mambo, the Cat sauntered in, wearing his brand new mauve suede-leather ensemble with matching boots and fedora. “Heeey! What are you guys doing? Playing find the forked stick?” He picked up the crowbar, and held it up over his head, triumphantly. “I win!” ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

"There's one very big favor you can do for me, Listy," Rimmer said, with sincerity. He paused, and snapped, "Get your smegging voice out of my head!" That is so awesome, there are no words.

Lister is awesome, Rimmer is awesome. The concepts are awesome. The IM was inspired.

*picks self off floor*

Glad you likey! Indeedilydo, there's more...

Ja, I do love how she subtly built the feel of Starbug's tattiness hanging over everyone's heads. :D And Cat; gotta love Cat!

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

Oh, trust us, there's more to come... ;)

The "Get your voice out of my head" line had me falling off the couch when we wrote it, it was so perfectly timed. Very, very Rimmer, because that's what she does!

Glad to have entertained you, hope to entertain you even more with the next part. It has interesting things in it. ;)

It has interesting things in it.

You say that right after the penis discussion?

Dagnabit, I'm trying to write a sober and slightly angsty fic, here!

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

Sorry, it's the Lister in me.

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

You have Lister in you? Dang, I'd like to have a little Rimmer in me right now...

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

Are you entirely sure you're not British? Heeeeee! Oh my!

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

I only wish!

[jargonelle.livejournal.com]

You're both very sweet with offering credit to each other!

And your comments are almost as amusing as the fic itself. :)
