Fic - Alteration. R/L implications. PG.

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

This is another conversation-with-lady_draco-and-kahvi fic. It started life as a squicky crack pairing for humor, but the device for making it possible took over the fic, and it turned into something completely different. This is an AU replaying of DNA - one where Rimmer doesn't give up on the dandruff.
It was also partly inspired by the IV commentary.
Warnings for some disgustingness and some sappiness. Spoilers for DNA.

Wahey! One thing about going away is that there always seems to be new fic when you come back!

This was fun! (until the disintegrating started). The Cat was fabulous.

All the dialogue is spot on, but this "Holly's head reappeared. "It's all right. It's under control." Lister looked up at her. "I called Kryten up. He's bringing a mop."" - especially made me laugh, and the sap was nice. :)

Welcome back! *waves*

Thanks! You know, I'm used to Rimmer and Lister taking on a bit of a life of their own, but it surprised me when Holly did this time around. It's like she was looking over my shoulder and snarking. Which is fine - I love Hattie's Holly! I wish there had been more of her.

*waves back* :)

I've always thought that you write all the characters well - human!Kryten's brief appearance here is great too!

Holly didn't have that much to do (and quite a lot of the stuff she did have wasn't great, but the character did have a distinctive voice and that line could definitely have been one of hers.

Ja, I wanted to do more with human!Kryten... maybe later. Robert did such a good job with him!

I loved her "Abandon ship! This is not a drill! This is a drill!" *drill rattles*

And

"Rude alert! ...Abandon shop! This is not a daffodil!"
