I have to say first of all that this is almost as hot as 10 pages of detailed sex: Lister ran gentle fingers across the rough bobbles of the towel, hooking his fingers under the fold tucked into the waistline. Tearing his gaze away, Rimmer let his head drop back to the pillow, a guttural moan finding its release as he felt Lister pull the towel apart to expose his now-very-ready erection.

*blush* Thank you! I had every intention of going all the way with it, as t'were, but it seemed to fit much better NOT seeing it - just seeing a teasing glimpse. Besides, I felt it would have more of an impact in the series if we get treated to the full thing when Rimmer and Lister FINALLY realise how they feel. Plus? Your after-sex fic is hotness on a stick, you don't always NEED to see it all, right? *fans herself*

Re: metaphor and the angsty angst. I'm glad you felt you connected with it. For reasons I won't go into detail so publicly here, when I end up breaking down in weak times, it's usually when I see myself in the mirror and how truly miserable I look(!) It's like you've only just realised, very odd sensation.

Overall, a great entry in your series (I hope it's part of your slash Ace series, right?)

Thank you much! And yup. Sits after 'Endless Night' and before 'Between the Lines', all nice and snuggly.

"Sign Your Name" by Terence Trent D'Arby. Could work. ;-)

Scuttles off to find on youtube.

Thanks again!
