Some fics I'd like to signal boost:
The Young Ones:
Forever Young - written for the Rik & Ade Fest 2025. After the events of the bus crash and explosion, the Scumbag guys become ghosts. To be honest, they didn't really have much choice in the matter, but they try to make the best of things anyway.
Snack Run - With not a scrap of food left in the house, the lads go on a nighttime snack run to the corner shop. Shenanigans ensue. (based off nighttime uni snack trips)
Spectacles - My attempt at a Rivyan flirting fic. Vyvyan is wearing glasses and... actually doing college work? Rick doesn't know what to make of it.
Young Dracula:
School Therapist - Vlad has to see a therapist at school. It goes probably how you'd expect.
A Chat Or Interrogation - His Dad making casual conversation is always awkward. No surprise, he's a centuries-old vampire with not much empathy.
Only Fools & Horses:
My short fic collection
Red Dwarf:
Noise Pollution - Rimmer's attempts to concentrate on his astro-nav revision for the upcoming exam are severely disturbed by a mysterious noise. (Inc. the hc of Rimmer being autistic)
It's Lonely Out In Space - Lister tries to cope with another panic-driven stint of insomnia, and Rimmer is actually helpful for once...he'd still make a crap therapist though.
Attempts at Nonchalance - Not even two minutes after they did it for the first time, and Rimmer has gone straight to his default reaction for all stressful and/or potentially awkward situations. No surprises what that reaction is.
Uncomfortable Logistics - When Kryten catches them in an unfortunate situation, it's up to Lister to pick up the pieces.
