Lindsey Ficathon

Here's my entry for writinggoddess 's Lindsey ficathon. I was writing for crazy_girl_mary  and thanks to blaar_rosir  for the beta. The story is NC-17, however like most of my stories, that part isn't vital to the story and can easily be skimmed to get to the meat if you so desire. Oh and major angst warning for part of this. (I'm not so sure the beginning and end balance well, that's a function of me trying to get the requirements in and they didn't always mesh as well as I'd like.)

So here you go. Let me know what you think. Dream Goes Wandering

Laugh God Laugh

There was once a horoscope for me that said I AM the Cosmic Joke. I clipped it out. It's very true. Okay, so to get the raccoons out of the attic we turned on the lights, the sound and put up bowls of ammonia. And the live trap is outside which is where the person who does this for a living put it. I'm assuming the theory is once the raccoon is driven out of the attic it'll go for the live trap.

Someone wakes me up this morning to tell me about the black thing in the live trap. She's one of the trappers and neither of us want to get closer to said black thing which is curled up sleeping because a) it's a skunk or b) it's a porcupine.

Can you say son of a bitch? Yeah, I thought so. Either way we're gonna get hurt trying to get this thing out of the trap. You can toss a very heavy blanket over it. The skunk won't spray if it's totally in the dark. Problem is you can't just shoot a skunk because the scent glands will let go as it dies...

And I'm not sure a skunk is a proper Mabon sacrifice. It's a porcupine I could at least harvest the quills... now regretting not baiting the trap with chocolate.

As for the coon, I think it's back in the attic lights and ammonia or no.

It's a bit early

Given that it's Mabon and I'm thinking of Halloween. ANd look Masquerade gave me back the nasty brown spearmint candies.

ETA - Dana vs Nature
Okay this morning the live trap in the kitchen so I can humanely deal with the mouse was still armed. As I get out of the shower and go to get to the post office nad library I see that it's slammed shut and a tiny piece of cheese has dribbled out onto the floor. I pick up the trap expecting to do the I have triumphed dance of joy but the trap is cleaned out of bait and is EMPTY. Fine. I've been outsmarted by a mouse. I set the trap back and leave figuring I'll take it to the garage later. I get back and that scrap of cheese is gone. So that damn mouse was there watching and laughing.
