Ficlet: Alternates. Rimmers/Listers. PG-13.

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

On the one hand, there is subtle slash; on the other hand, there is Demons and Angels. This short ficlet is based on the "Lash you within an inch of your life..." and "...how much I love thee..." bits.

We are the Highs, my brother...

I don't often hit 'classy'! ;) Thanks, mate!

The slash is more than subtle, which is better, trust me! Most excellent fic.

You know, I phrased that post very unclearly... *rephrases post*

Danke! :D

Awww!

Er, to the Highs. I was not cooing over the Lows. as much.

Hee! It's OK - I think we all looked at the Low Rimmer when he appeared in D&A and thought, "Oh my." Thanks for the coo!

oh man was that a slashy episode!

i loved the fic XD ♥ ♥

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

Aww, thanks! Yes, that episode was just, "They're really making sure we don't miss the slash, aren't they?"

What a wonderful start to my day to find this!

Guh... I shouldn't be anything but disgusted by the what the lows are getting up to, but man... I think syredronning's S&M fics have influenced me. By gods, if she wrote in this fandom, who knows what she would have done with this pairing. On second thought, maybe I don't want to know. Or maybe I do. NGH!

"Thy nostrils do flare in a most distressed fashion."
This earned a "laugh 'til I cough uncontrollably" moment!

As his brook babbled its last,
*snigger*

He would just have to figure it out for himself.
*bangs head into wall*
Yes, and we all know how easy that's going to be! Aaargh! *inner Lister lies banging fists on floor*

Come to think of it, this means Low Rimmer WAS integrated into him. That probably didn't help either...

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

Thanks for reviewing! Well, when Low Rimmer said he was going to haaaave Lister, my first thought - well, OK, my second - was, "And just how are you going to have him, holoman?" Which made me think about what he and Low Lister would be up to - the only physicality he had being the lightbee and the holowhip. And you took care of the former. ;)

Yes, I imagine High Rimmer would be a bit tetchy at the prospect. If that little bit of BS-babble applies in any way, none of the Highs were integrated (except for Holly), and the only Low that wasn't was Lister. Well, we did see some enhanced meannness in VI...

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

I DON'T want to know what Low Rimmer would do if he got the whole light-bee sex idea... *cringe*

And it's funny; how he would have him never entered my mind. But then again, Rimmer doesn't live in my mind... As much. ;)

As soon as I thought about being Low Rimmer, I got very frustrated. The fic started off being about that, but it was just getting depressing and plot-less. :p What good is a dom if he has an incorporeal tadger? ;)

I squealed when I saw this :D Angels and Demons is love...of a sort.

The lows' dialouge is a lot of fun, I like the way Low Rimmer seemed to put particular comtempt into the word "virginal." *snigger* The best thing about the first part is that I could easily see it being cannon. I wish the boyz had more opportunity to react to their Low selves in the episode.

Those Highs, I nearly asphyxiate trying to balance giggling and cooing over what they say.

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

Demons and Angels could have been a two-parter, as far as I'm concerned! Canon High Slash and Low Slash!

Aww, thanks much!

[8abbott-of-odd0.livejournal.com]

That would have been fantastic! It would have been even more interesting if Grant Naylor had included Demons and Angels in novels, that way we would know the characters thoughts as the events unfolded.

You're more than welcome!
