Ficlet: Lone. Rimmer/Lister (sort of). PG.

lady_draco mentioned a short while ago how there were no bunk scenes in V or VI, because the actors weren't getting along. Something about that just struck me as very sad.
Spoliers for Psirens, Legion, Emohawk... VI in general. A little IDW in there.

They no longer shared bunks.

Is this were I come in? ;)
Sorry... It's just - I just can't see something like this and not want to make it better. Unless you want it not made better. In which case I'll go cry some more, but in a good way, because that's how this made me feel. Good/bad. Yes.

Nice way of showing Kryten's jealousy with regards to Rimmer/Lister; not just Lister/Kochanski. Because it only makes sense, really.

Skip the milk. He hates milk.
*snigger/awww combination at joke plus implication of wanting cuddles*

Pretty much all he had from life had been in that camphorwood chest
*eyes internal Lister* Is it time for me to beat you up again?

Lie in the bunk, look up at the blank ceiling. Feel very keenly the absence of Lister above him. Wank. Fall asleep.
I'd like to describe how this bit makes me feel, but I can't. So many emotions.

Right, that's it. *goes to beat up Lister*

That hurts. That really hurts. Beautifully written.

I've noticed that the conversations they have in the bunk scenes are lot more like 'normal, between mates' conversations than any other and I genuinely feel that they would both fall apart if those conversations weren't there anymore.

Rimmer just breaks my heart, he really does.

This is a great look at Rimmer's relationship with Kryten, and was very nicely written... but oh so sad!

Rimmer was sure, and he was petrified that, somehow, every memory, every thought, every fantasy that he has ever had was recorded on his bee for posterity, and that Kryten had perused them at his 200-year leisure. - ouch. That is a creepy thought!

And on the topic of RD dreams, I dreamt last night that I was Chris Barrie... that was... weird...
