An even shorter ficlet that came to me while I was riding yesterday. Spoilers for Terrorform.

You are such a bad old stick.

I really enjoyed that :) Thanks for sharing.

Danke! (Aw, Bono!)

Gah.

That was sad. Bloody Rimmer for once.

Well done my little chickpea =) Well done.

Thanks! Yeah, but Terrorform was sad - I thought that ending was just argh-inspiring. :(

Exellent Lister! This is, in fact, what has run through my mind whenever I've tried to explain his actions.

looking at the grin, and at the H that meant he could not touch it.
Eeeexactly.

Velour is a funny word.

and that godawful aftershave he had slathered on himself when he was alive.
I like how this is now becoming fanon. Or at least you-and-me-non. ;)

Heh. You know what this makes me want to do, right? Actually, as I mentioned earlier, I am writing a post-Terrorform fic myself. I could incorporate that into this universe/timeline, if I may?

Thanks! Ja, it was our conversation that inspired this one. Go for it! *bouncing* It just seemed so odd that he would try so much harder than Cat and Kryten to be affectionate, and then act like nothing's nothing.

Doesn't he just seem the type to wear too much aftershave? Some anal-retentive dudes just try too hard...

Ouch. This one hurt. Fabulous job.

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Yeah, the ending to Terrorform in general hurt. :p

Ohh, I know. I don't think Grant & Naylor meant it to be, but it was so sad. As was Rimmer's father's discussion in the observatory.

Red Dwarf tends to walk a fine line between really horrible/angsty and just plain funny. You only need to look to the side to see some really horrible stuff... :( Especially in V. Well, in VI, too.

Indeed! Or maybe we're just all saps, eh? X3

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

Certainly true for me!
