This is the original start to Claim, and ended up on the discard pile because dime_for_12's opinion was "very good Carter POV, but it doesn't integrate well into the full porny version".  It might actually be closer to the original bunny (

It sucks that you had to work today, and it's always tough when plans fall through around the holidays. Last year was pretty bad for family for me, while everything else was fine. This year it seems to be the opposite - I got dismissed from my grad program, lost my job and hope for a semi interesting career (as well as having my personal AND professional reputation called into question unfairly and ugh. Bad, unfounded, things, taylor. Really bad), but my family stuff's straightened out, with two new additions (a brother in law and ANOTHER NIECE) to enlarge it!

I'm so sorry about the health issues, too, those don't sound fun at all, but it DOES sound like you at least have a doctor who seems interested and concerned in what's going on, and that ALWAYS helps, I think. And at least you're willing to advocate for yourself. It can be intimidating, but if you know what works (at least better than the alternatives) and can get the pros on your side, that ALSO helps.

I'm glad to hear your kitties are doing good! Pixie, my oldest ferret [at 6 years and some change] has adrenal and pancreatic cancer. I've already spent about $3k on her and am looking at more, and it's freaking me out, because what's in my account (barely able to cover the vet estimate for the next visit) is all I have right now (and who knows when I'll find a job, what with my lack of references now, and no real experience) :C

But I'm so glad to hear from you! I've missed you! (and sympathies on the no writing thing. It's been terrible for me, too. First because I was too busy, now because I am just so damn depressed and terrified about my [potential lack of] future.

I'm planning on sending a more detailed email reply later, but quick version is I'm really sorry about what you're going through right now.
