Red Dwarf Slash

Pairing: Lister/Rimmer
Rating: PG
Viewpoint: Lister
Plot description: Lister reflects on his feelings for Rimmer, the man broken by his own life. Lonely, needing human contact and affection, Lister wants to be the one to fix him.
Song: "Cherry" by the Smashing Pumpkins
"Stay with me, I'll set you free, 'Cause I can tell you once were pretty / Rose so sad, you've lost your petals, Lost the lustre off your tattle tales"
"I need a love to help me find my way, I need a strength that I cannot betray"
"What are we waiting for? What are we waiting for? Time has lost its hold on me"
"I need a word to say what I can't say, I need a lover"

Pairing: Rimmer/Lister
Disclaimer: Don't own Red Dwarf. Don't own Lister or Rimmer, regrettably. I do not make any moneys from this but I am paid in my own joy.
Notes: I haven't written fic in a long time. I vaguely remember being a huge L/R fan when I was 14 or so, but finding fic then was damn near impossible. All of my many little plot bunnies have therefore been running free and unfettered for about 10 years. After churning through a goodly portion of the fine fine fic on RDS I decided it was probably time to give some back. After enjoying kahvi's wonderful fics for the fanfic100, I decided to use the awesome table as well. Be gentle... I'm new. And smut will be forthcoming in later fics.
Thanks to kahvi to canon/setting help!
