Puppies, continued, for Lilfluff

I swear I posted the second half of this...

This is from @inventrix's prompt "finding out you have the wrong key," and lilfluff's commissioned request for a continuation.

It had been a very clever idea.

Davyn stared at the cage door. It had been a decently clever idea, he supposed. His parents took the damn dog along everywhere, and left him at home with the nanny. Nevermind that sixteen was too old to need a nanny. Never mind that, unlike the dog, he'd never peed on the furniture or broken a priceless vase (just the one. The dog had broken three).

It had seemed like a clever idea. They threw a blanket over the dog kennel anyway, because the stupid thing was high-strung. This way, he could ride along, wherever it was they were going, and then show up at the end and get to have all the fun. It had seemed like a brilliant idea.

Addergoole Year Eight/Nine: Belated rescue

This is to dulcinbradbury's commissioned prompt "A rescue that happens long after the physical need for it has passed. (But it's just as necessary all the same.)"

Author's note: This is set in Addergoole, my webserial, which in turn is set in my Fae Apoc setting (Landing Page (LJ Link)) - the Year 8/9 stuff happens several years after the serial's main timeline.

In this setting, a twist of magic allows people to Own ("Keep") other people in a mind-control manner, which often is imposed on new students via trickery their first year. Also, Dyfri is a merman of sorts.

Dyfri hadn't been able to help Evie last year. He'd done everything he could to get to her first, but Calvin had grabbed her, Owned her, and that was, as they say, all she wrote. Calvin being what he was, she'd soon been forbidden to talk to him at all, and he'd stayed away so as to not make life harder on her. He couldn't, he knew, take Calvin on in a flat-out challenge. He'd struggled with a way to make it happen, but the bigger boy wasn't stupid enough to come into the water, where the bias in the fight would have swung the other way. So he waited, and swore a lot, and plotted.

Redo/furniture/question

Okay!

This blog has motivated me, and I am going to, sometime probably-this-winter, redo our old dresser (a hand-me-down from when I was a kid.)

It needs new feets, need knobs (doesn't NEED those) and, I think, a two-tone effect to go with the bedroom-that-will-be.

My big issue: right now there is a bookshelf atop it. This shelf was made by Fatherman and I, but it needs to be re-re-done at this point into something more fitting. I'm thinking re-building it, with a back, into a basic bookcase the same size as the top of the dresser...

...then painting everything offwhite with darkbrown trim.

Yes, because gutting a house wasn't a big enough project.

Fun link for bonus - http://www.slashgear.com/cave-the-bookcase-with-built-in-seat-094690/ A "cave" bookcase with built in seat!

And some really funky bookcases (some, clearly, for people who do not have books the way we have books).
