Summary
When Lister closes his eyes he's back in Liverpool, three million and twelve years ago, listening to records and smoking fags and dreaming about the day when it would be his voice playing on every station in the galaxy.
The last note rings out, and in the silence someone speaks. Lister cannot believe it's him. "Can you teach me?"
And, even more startling, when Rimmer says yes.
After Lister finds a new guitar on a derelict ship, it's up to Arnold J. Rimmer to save the crew from utter insanity.

Summary
In the medibay, when Lister thinks about it, it makes sense. Just like everything else in the ship, Rimmer's lightbee is teetering on the edge of falling apart.
It doesn't help when a mechanoid smashes it to pieces, of course.

Bookmarker's Notes
Such a fascinating premise in this fic. Simply put: what if Rimmer was gone for over a century as Ace? He returns home but he isn't the same anymore. What follows from that? How do the crew, especially Lister, adapt to a person who isn't the man they knew?

Amazing prose - one of those RD fics that look at the canon of Rimmer’s backstory, take away the jokes, and examine the tragedy that is left behind. Made me feel all emotional over Rimmer’s story again :,)
Would pair well with mintyfrog’s “One Good Thing,” for exploring Rimmer’s childhood and finding hope in the darkness.

Bookmarker's 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!
