Part the Third and last:

Meanwhile, Iselle and Cazaril, stuck on the other side of the rocks, must wait while their loved ones are rescued, and have little to do to while they wait but talk, themselves.

Thoughtful and rather lovely post-Curse of Chalion coda.

Pitch perfect mini missing episode.

Summary: Most ladies, upon finding themselves in a delicate condition, would turn to their mothers for advice. Prunella Wythe's mother being unavailable, she turns to the nearest available substitute: Mak Genggang.

Great little post-canon scene between the two.

The Emperor's Horse Comes Home (5627 words) by Jay Tryfanstone

Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Great War, Vienna, homecomings, Yuletide 2017, Yuletide Treat, World War I
Summary: When the Lippizaner stallions of the Spanish Riding School perform in Vienna, there is one dark bay among the white. He is the Emperor’s Horse, bringing the luck of the Hapsburgs to the city. But in 1914, when the horses were sent away for safety, the Emperor’s Horse went missing....

His name was Rocco, Roccoco Florain Devanya, and he was loved.

Gorgeously well done post-war coda for the book.

to half-live as a warning (1072 words) by sandyk
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Timeless (TV 2016)
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Lucy Preston, Denise Christopher
Additional Tags: vaguely post season finale, Chromatic Yuletide
Summary: Lucy said, "I realized every time I came home there were different books on my mother's shelves and on mine, different histories we both wrote."

Thoughtful conversational piece between Lucy and Agent Christopher, contemplating the changing of the timeline.

New Orleans - October-November 1908 (3466 words) by Fabrisse

Characters: Rufus Carlin, Wyatt Logan, Lucy Preston
Additional Tags: Rufus-centric, New Orleans, Voting, Education, Chromatic Yuletide
Summary: The team are sent back for a longer assignment than usual. The time is 1908; the city is New Orleans.

Missing episode-fic - Rufus can't resist a challenge and an injustice; history gets changed (just a little bit, for the better).

Where We're Going We Don't Need Roads by merryofsoul
(G, 6681 words. Lucy Preston, Rufus Carlin, Wyatt Logan; pre-Lucy/Wyatt. Lucy and Rufus head to World War II era England, and meet someone who doesn't exactly belong there.

Excellent canon-divergent AU in which Wyatt was part of the first time travel tests, not the second.

now the ashes glow (2142 words) by spyglass

Sweet Wyatt/Lucy missing episode fic.

Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Truman Show (1998)

Characters: Truman Burbank, Marlon | Louis Coltrane, Meryl Burbank | Hannah Gill, Lauren Garland | Sylvia
Additional Tags: Post-Canon, References to Drugs, Dubious Consent Due To Identity Issues, Implied/Referenced Character Death, Mental Health Issues, Fame
Summary: Truman is technically free now, out of Seahaven and living in the Real World. But that comes with challenges that no one ever prepared him to face and there are no writers to work out the happy endings anymore.

Impressively grim post-canon Truman fic. Far more plausible than I want it to be...

Solitude with Good Company (2439 words) by TwoWeevils
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Venetia - Georgette Heyer
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Jasper Damerel/Venetia Lanyon

Post-canon epistolary piece that's a real treat throughout.

Great, sweet, funny and satisfying canon-divergent take on the film.
