1. Go to page 7 of your most recent WiP
2. Count seven lines down
3. Copy and paste the next seven lines of text
I went to my most recent WIP that actually had 7 pages in it, and what I found was, like, a SUPER big spoiler for Blood Money. Then the next one was the one Ces and I are writing, and I didn't want to just be like HAY GUISE without checking with her. So this is "Raven Darkholme got to get paid", which is actually the third story by this name, bearing almost no resemblance to
this one, except in that Raven is a sex worker who Erik hires. After several jumps, we are at Raven the kept woman, which is the least angsty and melodramatic version, if you can believe it.
But this is more than 7 lines, so.

He feels like it's rude to answer the door without a shirt on, especially when he doesn't really need to. "Raven?"
"I've got it," she calls. He sees her change as she walks by the door to the kitchen, hears the front door open; he's expecting Raven to call for him or come back with news, but there's nothing. All he hears are hushed voices, at least at first, but they're creeping towards raised voices pretty quickly.
"Charles, we've been over this. Besides, he's paid through the end of the month-"
"It's not about the money, Raven," a man's voice says. "It's never been, and even if it were, we could certainly work something out-"
Erik puts down his glass, walking out of the kitchen, because now this is his business.
