Summary
“I beg your pardon, Ship,” he said. “I ought to have introduced myself first. My name is Goodsir—Harry Goodsir. I am honoured to make your acquaintance.”
Silence, but for the clinking of gears and the turning of spindles. Then a small voice, tinny but clear, emerged at last from the speaking-trumpet housed at the far end of the console.
Good afternoon, Harry Goodsir, said Erebus. I assure you, the honour is entirely mine.

Summary
“Oh, yes,” said Temeraire. “Laurence has several robes from the Emperor’s court already; I was rather thinking of something more modern. It has been so very long since he bought himself anything fine. He says he sees no need for it, now that he is no longer an admiral, but he is after all still a prince; sometimes I think he forgets.”
Temeraire commissions a set of clothing for Laurence. Post-canon.

Summary
Alison tried so hard to find a new house without any ghosts, she really did, but it seemed the universe was against her. After the chaos of Button House, she's sure she can handle just one ghost, especially if she keeps up the front of pretending she can't see him. But as Alison struggles to come to terms with her new normal life and the changes at Button House, her curiosity about her new housemate gets the better of her, and things take a turn when she discovers that they have a mutual friend.

Summary
Suffice it to say, Thomas did not like Mike. At all. On occasion his emotions had reached a fever pitch and he had attempted to confront the man directly by bursting into their bedchamber, but after the second time Alison had threatened a ban on the record player, and Thomas didn’t feel that he loved his outrage more than he loved the Cure.
Alison and Mike move into Button House and, completely unintentionally and totally by accident, teach the ghosts valuable lessons about life and love.

Summary
“Hi Manfred,” Rook says. “Nice to meet you!”
Rook looks like most people look. She is person-shaped and has a head with hair, but beneath that, she is brimming with curiosity. He feels drawn to her, in the same way he had been drawn to Emmrich once – when Manfred was shiny and small and not yet called Manfred. He has a good feeling about this. It’s new. It's exciting. He already agrees with her.
Nice to meet you too! he hisses.***
Short and sweet scenes showing Manfred’s perspective on events of the Veilguard, and on the budding romance between Emmrich and Rook.

Summary
It was true, Cosette allowed, that he was nothing at all like the beautiful young man from the Luxembourg, but she must not judge him unkindly for that. The world was full of young men, and it would be quite tedious if all the handsome ones were handsome in the same way.
