Fiction: Standards. Rimmer/Lister

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

Title: Standards.
Authors: kahvi and roadstergal.
Pairing: Rimmer/Lister.
Rating: PG (for this first part).
Disclaimer: Unfortunately, we neither own the characters nor look to make any money from this. Grant/Naylor does both.
Spoilers: Thanks For The Memory, Marooned, Bodyswap, Quarantine, Terrorform, Legion, Emohawk.
Notes: Takes place between Tikka To Ride and Stoke Me A Clipper.

Yes, another gestalt fic. We shamelessly took over Holodonkeh's LJ for a bit of cyberporn, and then realized it would become a fic if we, well, added a plot. Since this takes place in VII, we got to use jealousbitch!Kryten. This is Part 1.

It seemed to irritate Kryten to have him sharing a room with Lister again, though, and that was worth an uncomfortable silence every now and then.

See! Look! Hyperproductivity! It took me ten days to write a thousand words... But it's all good because there's more lovely stuff to read!

A party of two means half the chance of getting unexpectedly shot. - Hee!

"Rimmer, I'm not a smegging magpie!" :)

Kryten did not look in the least bit happy with this arrangement. "Sir, are you sure that's a good idea?" He eyed Rimmer, his Visual Expression Emulator in Suspicion Mode. - :D

"Lister, that sign is the universal symbol for 'biohazard.' It is not the universal symbol for 'tasty and delightful things within.'" - The 'within' on the end just makes that line. Wonderful.

Lister crossed his arms as best he could in the bulky suit, waiting for Rimmer's hopefully amusing reaction. - oh, you so would, wouldn't you? Brilliant.

I look forward to the next part!

I think the P word you're looking for in my case is Procrastination, not Productivity. ;)

But yes, it's hard to talk with Kahvi and not get a fic out of it! ;)

The lab scene is the one that's probably had the most re-writing of any scene we've done together, so I'm glad you like it!

Oh, the next part is the good bit. Well, I think. Thanks for the comments!

Writing always counts as productivity. Staring at the screen blankly... not really.

Oh, the next part is the good bit. Well, I think. - I'll take your word at that and have high expectations then! :)

Thank you! I'm telling you, it's like magic. We start talking, and BOOM - suddenly there's twenty-odd pages of porn story. If only we could use our powers for good, and not just awesome... ;)

The magpie line was a late addition of mine; glad to see it was enjoyed!

And I love the "tasty and delightful things within" line too; made me giggle.

Next part will be up tomorrow, come rain or shine! :D
