Caramel Caribou, Chicago Style
Boring disclaimer stuff: I'm only borrowing the boys and Dief. They don't belong to me, no copyright violation is intended, I'm using them carefully -- well, sorta -- and returning them undamaged. As near as I can tell. <g> The story itself is mine. Permission to archive only on the Due South archive at hexwood, or Sheshat's Library. ::waves:: Thanks much, sis, for the home!
Rating: PG, Humor (or Pure Silliness), PWP. (The PG is only for one or two words, just to be on the safe side.)
Series: First in the Ice Cream series. See Notes, below. I'm working on the second one, but I've got to get some more real-but-oddball ice cream flavor names ... and the guys haven't been talking much to me lately, at least not about the funny stuff.
General Notes: The Original Ray. This takes place in that nebulous time between the second and third seasons. I don't have the faintest as to where this idea came from; I just heard the name of the ice cream, and instantly thought, "Due South!" As to synopsis? For once, it's Benthat gets -- *gasp* -- besmirched!!! Ray practically has hysterics as a result; revenge at last! And Dief-- Well, you'll see. Oh, the horror! ::covering eyes::
There really is an ice cream called Caramel Caribou, as described in this story; word of a Mountie! But alas, Ben & Jerry's doesn't make it. It's some local brand an online friend told me about. (Thank you, Molly; this is all your fault, you realize...) I have no idea who the heck the manufacturer is. (I know, at this rate I sound totally clueless about anything.) Neither did my friend; and who would recognize it anyway? So I'm borrowing B&J too, as the distributors, and attributing this flavor to them. You've got to admit, it sounds like one of theirs. They do have a store in Chicago; I checked their web page. ;)) So at least one part of this is correct!
Thanks again to the AOL DS gang for beta-ing and encouragement, especially Jenn S. Naturally, any faint cheers of encouragement, chocolate, Mounties and/or original cops are appreciated. Oh, yeah, that constructive criticism thing--ok, that too. Any flames will be edited, checked for spelling, grammar and originality, and returned redlined for corrections needed before acceptance for the round file. You can reach me at [email protected]. TYK! And hope you enjoy.
