Fic Outtakes - Something Called Honor

After over three years of working on it, I'm finally wrapping up Something Called Honor. This story met a number of milestones for me, including:

being the longest one I've ever written (over 73,000 words posted and another 5-10 needed);

being a third story in a trilogy (admittedly it wasn't a planned trilogy) (it's also technically story #5);

being in the top 5 of all my works by hits, kudos, comments, and subscriptions;

being the most complicated story (it was, as mentioned elsewhere, written entirely out of order).

That whole out-of-order thing was an experience because a number of scenes written in the early stages ended up turning into very wordy placeholders in later stages, and had to either be cut entirely or extensively/entirely rewritten. As one would expect. Since I'm the kind of person who is fascinated by out takes and alternate cuts, I thought I'd post some of SCH's.
