Originally, An Inheritance like an Arranged Marriage was going to be much longer. The fic as it stands was going to be the beginning, and the snippet in the end note was still going to be the epilogue. Unfortunately, the middle was rapidly getting away from me, so I ended up cutting it down into the story as it stands, then wrote a second story for a different, but still excellent prompt. I meant to post it at some point, but only found it again now that I've been doing some folder (re)organization.

crantz (and anyone else who is curious), here's the bit that was cut in its raw, unedited form:
( An Inheritance like an Arranged Marriage: Cut Content )
The intent was to have Riss and Grim learn to live together, go on a couple adventures Vera and Old Beaky dragged them on when Roderick's other creations wreaking havoc on the countryside got a little too close to home, and fall in love. Riss would come into his powers as a sorcerer, but still insist on remaining a humble hedge mage when it came to work. Grim would accept this, but insist on also contributing their own, better potions. They would have what Riss saw as an unfortunate habit of falling into trouble they'd have to solve on the side and what Grim would see as their main calling as adventurers.
I have no idea why I thought I could write all that in under 5k, and that it took me 2400 words after the beginning to realize that oh, no, this was never going to be done in time for the deadline.
