Bookmark Notes:
INCREDIBLE Ace-era RD fic. It's got some of the best sci-fi settings that build out of the existing RD world I've read from RD fic so far - engineer Lister and pilot Rimmer? The entire Skipper chapter? And the author has done such a great job in exploring why the "Ace" character has such, frankly, horrific implications for Rimmer, by following along also with an Ace who never managed to go home. 1 chapter to-be-written, and I can't wait for it!

Summary
Rimmer is sick of being Ace. He wants to go home. His plan is to find the most pathetic version of himself that he can, not wanting to be outshone when he passes on the title.
Arnold, an artist and painter, happens to have a very happy life on Ganymede, and none of the necessary charisma to fill those boots. He does, however, have something Rimmer doesn't: a spine.

Summary
Ace (our Arnold) crash-lands on a stormy planet during a supply run gone wrong. He’s injured, scared, and stuck. Just him and Wildfire, his ship’s motherly AI, trying to hold it together. Lots of angst, soft comfort, and the reminder that even heroes can cry.

Summary
Rimmer-as-Ace gets drunk after a mission where he reunited a Kochanski with a Lister. When he wakes up with a hangover, Wildfire’s computer tells him that the ship’s dream recorder recorded the feverish dream he had based upon the film he just watched on repeat.
"Unable to stop watching, Rimmer turned scarlet as his high-heeled double dramatically flung aside his cape to reveal what he was … almost wearing. The sparkly purple-black basque and fishnet stockings and suspenders were purposely designed to draw as much attention to the areas they weren’t concealing as those which they just about were.
But that wasn’t even the worst part; it was the attitude. Seeing himself posing and strutting like a - like a particularly kinky Mimas streetwalker was indescribable."

Bookmark Notes:
Better than the cliffhanger we got, explains the Rimmer switch so nicely (since it was confirmed that the Rimmer from series IX onwards is indeed the same Rimmer that went off to be Ace in series VII)
