Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Red Dwarf (UK TV) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Characters: Dave Lister, Arnold Rimmer Additional Tags: Red Dwarfcember prompt, Scrooge - Freeform Summary:

Rimmer and Lister talk about Rimmer not enjoying Christmas.

Read Below:

“Hey, Rimmer, want a mince pie?” Lister asked, holding one out.

Rimmer looked down at Lister’s hand, he had felt slightly off all day. Christmas had always seemed to make him miserable, and he rather thought being dead would solve that. Until Lister had the brilliant idea to celebrate Christmas– he wasn’t even sure if it was the right season!

Rimmer had been in an unfocused state all day, Lister had noticed. So when he offered Rimmer the mince pie it came as a surprise when Rimmer just looked, got up, and walked away. He stared for a minute, slightly upset, before following him to the bunkroom.

Rimmer was sat on his bunk and barely looked at Lister when he walked in. Something about it all just made Lister feel so sad for the man, but it also annoyed him. It was something he had felt since they first met, but Lister desperately hoped It wouldn’t be an issue today. Not after he finally felt up to trying to do this and feel normal. Lister broke the silence, not sure how to set the tone he ended up a strange mix of gentle, annoyed, and melancholic.

“You know your problem Rimmer? You’re just like..” Lister waved his hand next to his trying to remember the name “.. what was that old guy called? The one who don’t like Christmas.”

“Scrooge?” Rimmer answered, mildly insulted. He could celebrate Christmas! He just… didn’t know how.

“Nah, that other one.” Lister looked down in thought for a moment. “The Grinch!”

Rimmer just shook his head. How could Lister compare the two?

“Wait. Who is this ‘Scrooge’ guy anyway?” Lister asked, confused, as he sat down beside Rimmer.

Rimmer stared at Lister, A Christmas Carol was a classic! Of course he had barely read it either… but he had watched the Muppets Christmas Carol which was based on it.

“He was an uptight git who refused to celebrate Christmas and had three ghosts come to taunt him!”

“Ohhhh” Lister said, still not really getting it. “Well you’re like him then.”

“What? How?!”

“Rimmer. You refuse to celebrate Christmas, you just freaked out because I offered you a mince pie!” Lister stated, beginning to get mildly frustrated with it all. Could Rimmer not just enjoy one thing? He just wanted to celebrate Christmas, and be normal.

“Well- well, uh, yes I did. Maybe I thought it was poisoned!” Rimmer scrambled for an excuse.

“Rimmer, you’re dead.”

“Well you don’t need to remind me of that!” he curled himself up slightly “Maybe I’m just not used to you being nice to me?”

“Is that what this is Rimmer?”

“What?”

“You, being all miserable. Like this Scrooge guy or whatever. Did you ever celebrate Christmas?”

“Of course I did! Why would I not?”

“Because of your smegged up parents? I don’t know.”

“Well..” Rimmer turned away from Lister. God, why did he alway screw everything up? He promised himself he’d get through this ‘Christmas’ okay.

“Look, Rimmer, you don’t have to say any more. But please let me have this.”

“I’ll try, it’s just. Not easy for me.”

“I know.”

“You know Listy, even Scrooge did manage to celebrate Christmas in the end.” Rimmer gave Lister a small smile.

“Come on, Kryten’s made dinner.” Lister gave Rimmer a smile back and got up to walk to the door.

“Listy?”

“Yeah?”

“Merry Christmas.”

Red Dwarfcember: Santa

@red-dwarfer thought it would be fun to write some Christmasy Red Dwarf fics, so I'll be posting a few I wrote based on her prompts.

Prompt: Santa

Words: 727

Summary: Rimmer explains Io's version of the Santa legend.

Rating: T

A03 link or keep reading below.

“Oi,” Lister calls down to Rimmer. “When you were growing up on Io, did you learn about Santa Claus?”

“What the smeg are you on about now, Listy?” Rimmer says, turning a page in Fascist Dictator Monthly. Lister never can stay quiet when he is trying to read. It would be obnoxious if he didn’t expect it by now.

Lister’s locs and then his upside-down face appear, followed by one hand holding a girly magazine, folded open to reveal a smiling, scantily-clad model in a provocative outfit that vaguely resembling a Santa suit. Lister’s other hand drops out of the bunk to point at it.

“Santa,” he emphasizes. “What’d they teach about ‘im on Io? I mean, it was one thing hearing that he traveled all around Earth in one night, but that couldn’t hold much weight up in the space colonies.”

Lister loses his grip on the glossy pages and the magazine plops onto the metal floor. He shrugs and turns his attention back to Rimmer.

“So, did you hear Santa stories on Io, or not?”

Rimmer gives up on reading his own magazine, and drops it into his lap. He watches as Lister tumbles down from his bunk and settles into a seat at the table, swiping his fallen mag up from the floor.

“Don’t be a gormless git, Lister. Humans took everything they could get up into space with them, including the legend of Saint Nicholas.”

“But how did that work?” Lister asks, “if he was meant to live on Earth?”

“Well, obviously he wasn’t on Earth in our stories,” Rimmer states as if it should be obvious. “He had a base on the ice moon Europa. Humans couldn’t live there, because of the radiation, but jolly ole Saint Nick used his magic to put up protective domes for himself, Mrs. Claus, and the elves.”

“He wha’?” Lister snickers. “And kids believed that?”

Rimmer crosses his arms over his chest and glares at Lister. “How is it any more ridiculous than a man living with elves at the North Pole?” he demands. “If you ask me, the Io Santa is far superior – a Santa for the modern era!”

“All right, all right, no need to get tetchy,” Lister says, putting his fingerless gloved-hands up in mock surrender. “So how’d your Santa get around then?”

“Well, obviously he had a rocket ship that was crewed by reindeer-human GELF hybrids. How else would he travel?” Rimmer retorts, as if that should be obvious.

“And I suppose GELFs made the toys as well?”

“Well, why shouldn’t they? They were made to do what humans want, weren’t they?”

Lister chuckles. “Man, what a smegging story. Did you ever believe it?”

Rimmers stiffens defensively, and deflects rather than answer. “I don’t know what you’re acting so smug about. At least Io’s Santa was based on scientific facts! GELFs and starships actually exist! Earth’s Santa is just a bunch of nonsense and fairy dust. There’s no such thing as elves and a sleigh is one of the most out-moded methods of transport there is! Utter tot,” he concludes dismissively.

Lister laughs, tossing the magazine in the air and letting it fall on the table, where it flops into the remains of his evening curry. “Well, yeah, that’s why only kids believe in it. So, did ya?”

“Did you?” Rimmer returns.

With a shrug and a shake of his head, Lister replies, “Nah. Growing up in an orphanage, they don’t really bother with all that. And by the time I was adopted, I was past being fooled about it.”

“Ah,” Rimmer vocalizes. “Well, that’s probably for the best.”

“Why do you say tha’?”

Rimmer scowls. “At least you didn’t have to watch, year after year, as Santa left your brothers gifts, while you got a lump of coal, only to find out that it was your own mother doing it all along.”

Lister expression softens. “Sorry, man. I wouldn’t’ve brought it up if I’d known…”

“Yes, well, I’m sure she was just pushing me so that I could achieve greatness,” Rimmer says, almost to himself, as he looks down at a black-and-white image of Mussolini.

“I think you’re great,” Lister declares.

Rimmer looks up at him, hazel eyes wide before narrowing in disbelief. “Do you?”

“A great big smeghead,” Lister concludes with a cheeky grin.

To both their surprise: Rimmer laughs.

Hear me out: dwarf gender is just about whether you are a power lifter or a body builder or on the spectrum between the two.

So I said I was gonna make my own art challenge and I am — and people can join me! It’s DWARFCEMBER. The goal is to do a dwarf drawing every day.

For me, it’s hard to do daily things and post them, and I’m currently working on my dwarf -based card game so I’m using this as an opportunity to play with concepts as well!

My Day 1 piece is coming soon, use the tag and let’s make some dwaaaaaaarves!
