Summary
When Jack told Roda to get a hobby, he meant something quiet. Something to turn her mind off after work and dealing with all the Time Lord bullshit, like... knitting. Or Netflix. There was something to be said, he supposed, about being careful what he wished for.
Set about two years after that The Year That Never Was and a little after Don't Tell Me What the Poets Are Doing.

Summary
“The beginning of wisdom, as they say. When you're seventeen you know everything. When you're twenty-seven, if you still know everything you're still seventeen.”
Ray Bradbury, Dandelion WineEvery action that we take exacts a cost and produces consequences. Nothing can be undone.
Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad ScrollsThe Doctor: Sometimes the only choices you have are bad ones. But you still have to choose.
Mummy on the Orient Express, S8 ep 8~
This story is essentially a companion piece to/continuation of ‘Dating the Cleverest Boy in the World', chronicling events that took place away from/following the main narrative of that story. It’s a difficult story to describe, but at its heart it is about the process of growing up. The story deals with endings, heart(s)break, new beginnings and the unexpected hurdles that life throws at you. It is also about taking responsibility for mistakes that can never be put right and learning to live with that.
tl;dr: How does the Seeker grow from the kid we see at uni, to the self-assured adult of his later life? This fills in a good few of those years.

Summary
When Rodageitarynxmososa answered a hypercube from the Master's son asking for her to be his "someone", she never imagined how her life would change for the better, or what it would mean for their friendship. And no matter how it ended... those years would always mean more than she could ever say.
A set of loosely-connected one-shots.

Summary
“Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.” – Miriam Beard (or: The Seeker takes some time out to travel and think things over)
Basically each story in 'Stepping Sideways' is a visit to a different universe/character, allowing the Seeker to be seen with fresh eyes by his nearest and dearest. (The Doctor, Jack, Roda and finally Missy)
