Fic - Flying. Rimmer/Lister. PG.

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

This is a bit of an odd thought exercise. The topic of RD as the Flying Dutchman came up in a conversation with kahvi, and I wanted to try it out. Needless to say, concrit could really help this one sit more solidly.
Set in VII. Spoilers up through Beyond A Joke. A recasting of Blue.

I will see you again, my friend.

=( Okay - that wasn't fair on ol' Arnie. Not fair at all. Stoopid Lister *kicks him*.

Oh, well done to you of course. Once again you've made the characters come alive to the point where I giggled when Rimmer was giggling and felt like crying for him at the end.

I also really enjoyed the beginning =) Very interesting hee.

Nonono, don't stop there! *flail* We need happy endings!

Oh, but this was wonderful! I might have concrit; I'm too tired to tell. All I know is that this was all kinds of good, and just what I needed right now.

I'll be back for some detailed feedback later, just wanted to check in. :)

"Rimmer... man... what the smeg are we doing?"
*smack* I *smack* though *smack* I *smack* told *smack* you *smack* to stop *smack* doing *smack* that!!

I don't know what it is you're trying to cross-over/recast as, so may I just squee in delight at the whole first section? Sea captain!!!! You've just nailed one of my kinks, right there, and then "I promise you," and here, a rare, true smile lit the Captain's face, "when I have left this earth and this body behind, and am naught but light, we will meet again among the stars." - by this point, you've finished me off. Totally.

Her list of the differences between the two was becoming very detailed, and despite his randiness, Lister was half-afraid that she might finally give in and sleep with him simply to make the list comprehensive." - Hee!

And of course, the Rimmer and Lister interaction is great. The hug had been a sincere, mately gesture, while this cupping of his cheek, along with the oddly direct stare... :) :) :)

Actually, I was wondering if you'd mind answering a question that has ridiculous ramifications for the fic I've been thinking aboutplanningarguing with writing for what feels like years and still hasn't got anywhere? : Where do you think the planet with all of Ace's coffins around it is? - In Ace's dimension? In 'ours'? In some weird pan-dimensional rift? Argh.
