I suck at the rich text editor.
Fandom: Red Dwarf
Pairing: Dave Lister / Arnold Judas Rimmer
Theme set: Epsilon
Rating: G to PG-13
Disclaimer: If I owned 'em, that snog in Season VI would be much longer.
Notes: For the
1sentence challenge. Thanks so much to
roadstergal for the quick editing. There is absolutely no continuity and it skips around a whole lot. Some were inspired by actual episodes, some weren't. Shifts refer to the watchdog shifts on Starbug. I think I cheated by using Ace/Spanners once, but they AU versions of the boyz, so I figured that works, too. Oh yeah, and ENJOY.
#01 - Motion
Rimmer’s hands won’t stay still as he guilty, nervously confesses to Lister, so Lister holds them tight and smiles.

#04 - Last
Rimmer wonders if it’s fate that he loves the last human alive.
#05 - Wrong
The worst thing about meeting their doppelgangers was not the way Low Rimmer looked at Lister, but the way his low self stared at Low Rimmer.
#06 - Gentle
Lister is careful with their relationship, because Rimmer screws it up enough for the both of them.
#07 - One
Although Rimmer is no beautiful girl and Red Dwarf is no Fiji, Lister thinks Rimmer is just the right one anyway.

Some nights, Lister wakes up giggling about the King of the Potato People.
#10 - Learn
It takes an unfortunate incident with one of The Cat’s hair curlers and Kryten’s spare right hand for Rimmer to find out how Lister feels.
#11 - Blur
It’s a very long time before Lister figures out that the line between bunkmates and mates has been blurred to the point of being undetectable.
#12 - Wait
As soon as Rimmer’s shift is done, Lister drags him off to the showers, smirking the whole time.

Even after spending a week in Rimmer’s body, Lister still can’t see where the smeg head is coming from.
#18 - Attention
Rimmer finds something in common with Kryten; they both hate the way Lister tries to spend all his time with Kotchanski.
#19 - Soul
Lister has no idea why Rimmer suddenly becomes afraid that holograms don’t have souls; he blames it on too much to drink.

Lister falls over laughing and counts his blessings that he had moved away before The Cat came sashaying into the room.

Even when there is an emotion sucking beast on the loose, Rimmer looks to Lister, who's determined to beat this thing and feels slightly less scared out of his wits.
#30 - Ghost
Sometimes, late at night, Ace can still feel Spanner’s breath on his neck.

The best book ever written (besides the Zero G Karma Sutra pop up book) is Rimmer’s diary, because it reveals secrets that Rimmer would never reveal to Lister’s face.

Never was there quite an awkward moment as when Lister found Kryten’s eye in his bunk after shagging Rimmer.
#33 - Never
Rimmer knows that even if he had the chance to prove himself to his father, good ole’ dad would never want a gay son.
#34 - Sing
Lister can’t help but laugh when he hears Rimmer singing in the shower; it’s one of the songs he wrote.
#35 - Sudden
Rimmer was shocked and pleased when Lister kissed him for the first time; he didn’t expect it to be in front of Kotchanski.
#36 - Stop
Lister’s hands stop just short of Rimmer’s belt, but the look in his bunkmate’s eyes is all he needs to continue.

“Rimmer, for the last time, I don’t want to look at your smegging telephone poll!” Lister shouts, while Krissie giggles at how obscene it sounds.

#39 - Torn
Rimmer is glad he ripped up all his useless love letters to Lister before the slob found them.

#46 - Drive
“No, I won’t go on a ride with you on your smegging space bike, Lister!”
