In Between Days Series
These stories generally encompass the time period from about the end of the Terra Prime and Mirror Universe episodes in the Enterprise Series and the last episode, These Are The Voyages, although there are several prequels and foundational stories, and much of the Daranaean arc goes past that time in order to continue that sub-series. Now, a lot of people despise TATV. I have found, as I have written -- in particular when I wrote Fortune -- that I could understand the impulse to wrap it all up and make an effort to find the endpoint. It doesn't mean I like TATV that much. I don't, but less for the upshot than for the holodeck conceit. It just seems a lot like the shower/dream scene in Dallas. But I have woven it into my own cloth, into Day of the Dead, On the Radio and Fortune in particular. These stories are listed, not in the order in which they were written, but rather in the order in which they historically appear in fanon.
