word game: blanket

[museaway]

This week's word is...
blanket

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!)

Posting a little early this week because of Christmas Eve! I'll be with family this afternoon.

Ugh, I love how you write trauma, like I feel Lara's fear bleeding off the page. I'm assuming the second person pov is Yulia, so I also enjoy how their hurt/comfort dynamic imbues the narrative. They really care about each other.

Yeah, the second person POV is indeed Doppelganger/Yulia's. I've just fallen for using that POV for Dop.

so I also enjoy how their hurt/comfort dynamic imbues the narrative. They really care about each other.

This is the aspect of their relationship that I feel had been underrepresented. You have two women - one is a thrill-seeking daredevil of an adventurer-archeologist who tends to hide trauma stemming from losing her parents and seeing the horrors in her adventures, and the other is, well, her clone who's been alchemically created as a weapon for a spiteful, faux-immortal and fallen goddess. Even as the latter's free from the brainwashing phrase and subsequently overthrown said maker, both of them are utterly shaken from the goddess' actions (and from their immense hostility, plus Lara going through her own horrors, in my in-progress AU). I'd certainly imagine they'd bond over that.
