word game: money

[museaway]

This week's word is...
MONEY

How to play: Find the word in any WIP and comment with the sentence containing it. Just the one, ideally! The less context, the more hilarious & interesting it can be.

Rules:
- All fandoms, all ships, all writers welcome
- Give a head's up for disturbing/distressing content
- If you share a sentence, please read some left by other writers and drop at least one person a comment. (If you leave the first comment, thanks for starting us off, and we hope you'll pop back around later!)

A note about interacting: Writers supporting each other is important to me. If you object to leaving comments for another writer, then we are not for you. If you repeatedly ignore this rule, you will lose community membership.

Re: Excerpt from my revived wedding fic for last year's ASSW [Fandom: Tomb Raider]

Ah, it's always a delight to know that! Anyway, the gist is: Lara Croft is an avid adventurer who has... plenty of issues, shall we say, (I'm definitely not playing armchair psychologist, but I'm very fascinated with going into a character's head to see how their trauma affects them) primarily PTSD (stemming from parental abandonment and witnessing a lot of the horrors in her adventures).

Doppelganger (or Yulia, as I call her in my fics, after The HARDKISS vocalist Julia Sanina) is Lara's clone who's artificially created by an emotionally abusive, spiteful, quasi-immortal ex-queen of Atlantis named "Jacqueline" Natla as a weapon against Lara (she hates her this much). But Lara manages to free her clone from the "Ohk eshivar" command, and Doppelganger/Yulia subsequently kills Natla. However, having a severely abusive mother figure like Natla for so long is bound to leave heavily emotional scars for someone like Doppelganger...
