> Hardest to write to I'd say, unless I just go full "It's a guro story, I ain't explaining shit" mode to write off why someone would remove their bones for money

Crippling agoraphobia could explain why she wouldn't try one of the more obvious ways of getting money. Having to pay rent would work well with this, since obviously she wants to avoid getting tossed out on the street.

Alternatively, embarrassment works. She could for example have been putting off laundry day for a while, to the point where she just stuffs all of her clothes into the washing machine at once, going naked for the duration. Then the washing machine catches fire, leaving her without anything to wear.

Admittedly, this is a tough one. The two most obvious paths would be to either make her a medical practitioner so she can avoid the major arteries while using the kitchen knife on herself or embracing the fact that the tooth fairy actually exists in this universe and having the girl pretend to sleep to catch the tooth fairy in the act of collecting her teeth the second night, at which point the tooth fairy teaches her some non-lethal method of extracting bone.

Yeah, figured as much, but I couldn't help myself :)

I know, it's a tricky one. I've had the idea for a while, and since this is one of very few universes where it's even remotely feasible and you'd already made a good start by stretching her uterus out of her mouth I thought I'd just toss it out there. Basically, it would involve Alex grabbing Bolt's lips and stretching her mouth even wider before pulling it down, over her shoulders and past her hips. The skin would have to tear free from the bones and organs, leaving her rib cage surrounding the womb-condom (put that sentence in the category "things nobody on planet earth has ever said before"). If Alex now pulls Bolt off Tim's dick by the tip of her uterus, her limbs will be on the inside, her organs on the outside draped around her uterus and her inside-out mouth forms the entrance to the condom-like contraption.
