No matter how hard the world convulses, Chrisjen Avasarala will be there to hold it steady. And if she can even save her old student Sadavir Errinwright along with it, so much the better. Because after so much has been lost, now is the time to hold on to whoever is left. (Some glimpses of Chrisjen's life in the years after Book 6: Babylon's Ashes.)

Chrisjen Avasarala visits Sadavir Errinwright after his arrest, because he's still her student, and always will be.

Some say the Patrician loves his city; some say he loves only power. Some say the Patrician is loved by his city; some say he is merely tolerated for lack of an alternative.

Since the First Order's defeat, the galaxy has been at peace for many years. General Hux has spent all of those years in prison, serving a life sentence for war crimes. Nobody keeps him company but the Force-ghost of the traitor Kylo Ren.

Kylo and Hux figure out what it is they want from each other. Chapter 1 is set during the events of The Last Jedi; Chapters 2 and 3 are from some time later. All are short.

A future incarnation of the Doctor captures a future incarnation of the Master after yet another of the latter's human-takeover plots gone wrong.

And it gets worse: the Doctor is dragging him on a hike.

An attempt to bring Mycroft and Eurus's relationship to a satisfying resolution after she locks him up in her old cell during The Final Problem. Features anger, despair, love, catharsis, and a happy ending.

Years after the events of The Final Problem, Sherlock and John have worked things out between them and are getting married. Mycroft, to his horror, is drafted as Sherlock's best man. How can he explain to anyone, let alone an audience of a hundred wedding guests, what his brother means to him? Inspired by the wedding speech scene from The Sign of Three.

Why would 13-year-old Mycroft have been entrusted with the truth about his sister when his parents were not? What would Mycroft have thought of John's new girlfriend, Mary? Was Mycroft telling the truth when he denied being "given to outbursts of brotherly compassion"? What was going through Sherlock's head as he pointed a gun at his brother? Four dialogues.
