Fic: Choice. R/L. PG.

This was inspired by Teammates. It's a bit angry, but SMAC makes me angry.

You had no right.

WHY CAN'T THEY JUST TALK, DAMMIT! GRARGH! *goes away to kick something*

I know you loved him.
Oh, holy dysfunctional smeg soup! *headdesk*

Now you've made me him. You had no right.
Damn straight.

How did you fart your way into my heart?
Somehow, this is just too Rimmer beyond words.

I only insulted you once each morning.
Bless!

the lunch you insisted on calling breakfast.
:D

Maybe I was not subtle enough.
Yes Arn, that's the problem. *headdesk* Again.

Dragging-out-of-shower images... Aaaahahaaaa... Wonderfully written. I may need a cold shower now!

although I was starting to suffer from carpal tunnel.
Again, too Rimmer for words.

I can see that to you, right now, it's me.
GAAAH!

I really liked this. Anger, which is good, and right. Well done indeed!

Thankee for feedback!

Because they're Rimmer and Lister... *sigh* :(

"Holy dysfunctional smeg soup" is one I am going to hang on to for special occasions. :)

Lunch! Hee, I just loved your Rimmer in Lunch.

That bit at the beginning of SMAC made me think. Not as much as the end, but still - Lister going off on his libido causing a drought? Methinks someone is suffering from UST.

And lord, every expression that Rimmer has on his face, from Ace's death until he leaves, is just so - layered. And I don't see a single layer of "Boy, I'm glad I'm Ace!"

Oooh! I'm always happy to hear I write a good Rimmer. He's shy, and doesn't come out to play a lot. Probably because I tend to torture him, but what can you do?

I was quite shocked to see how manipulative Lister is in SMAC; I'd forgotten. But of course, I know he thinks he's doing a good deed. The silly man. *sigh*

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

Lunch and Orange are still two of my all-time faves, I think - they're so evocative!

I torture him, too, but he comes out for me more often than Lister. Maybe because he feels I can relate, lawd help me. :p

He really was astonishingly manipulative. As you say, because he thought he was doing something good - and maybe, the slasher in me thinks, because he was having trouble coming to terms with his lust for Rimmer?

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked them! Maybe I need to write more food!porn. ;)

Nah, Lister would be fine with lusting after Rimmer IMO. Not that he wouldn't angst about it, but I think he'd quite easily admit it to himself. But then... There's what I saw happening in "Teammates". *sigh*

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

Hah! I really wasn't even thinking of them as food!porn, actually - more greatrevealinginteraction!porn.

Hmm, or maybe something happened that made him reluctant to disclose said lust to Rimmer, resulting in this uncommunicative angst... *plotbunnies hopping around*

[eviltigerlily.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you can really see Rimmer doesn't wanna do it, and it doesn't seem to be just his cowardice.

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

Ig-zactly. He's as conflicted as I've ever seen him, and his usual cowardice is not a conflicted thing.

Hee. Aww ... they're two very silly boys. *smacks them around the head*

Sad =( Good work.

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

They are! Especially in SMAC! *banghead*

Thankee!

[eviltigerlily.livejournal.com]

Just beautiful.

Aw, thanks, ma'am!
