- Messing about in a Spaceship by Judith Proctor
Messing about on a spaceship - a filk based on 'Messing About on the River
Series One
- The Haunting of Haderon by Lillian Sheperd
A reprint of an old zine much beloved by Avon and Vila fans. Left to die in the desert, Avon and Vila struggle to survive. Lots of angst.
- Seven Days to Destiny by Vega
One of the survivors of the Ortega relates events as Liberator takes them home to Destiny.
- Economy Drive by D.C. Morris and S. Barrett
pure silliness as Blake decides that they need to cut back a little.
Series Two
- Alter Ego by Richard Self
- Olag Gan by Judith Proctor
a shameless rip off of Kipling's 'Gunga Din'
- Wit and Wisdom of the Dead by Neil Faulkner
Travis has Lurgan's brain chip with the location of Star One. There's just one minor problem, the chip has Lurgan's personality encoded on it and Lurgan doesn't want to tell him anything. It's a bit difficult to threaten a dead man...
Series Three
- Hymn To Him by Kelsey Adams
Avon, in true Professor Higgins' style ('My Fair Lady') asks why Blake can't be a bit more logical and reasonable.
- Amagon by Judith Proctor
After Star One, Blake fall into the hands of the Amagons and finds himself
hit with a severe culture shock as he realises that he isn't the only one
with strong beliefs, but the Amagons don't believe in freedom, they
believe in submission to the will of God.
- Transition in Three Stages by Vega
After Star One, Jenna is separated from Blake and Liberator. She is
determined to take control of her own life and escape the rebellion. This
story is a prequel to 'Investments' in 'The Way Back' but may be read as an
independent story.
- I'm Not Blake by Loulou Harris
There's a man who sought treatment at a mental hospital shortly after Star One, but is he Blake, or isn't he?
- Cally's thoughts by Susan Bennett
Cally's Thoughts on the way to Terminal - Cally reflects on Avon.
- Unconscious Influences by Andrew Williams
To say too much about this one would spoil the story, but it involves
Jenna and Blake after Star One.
Series Four
- Intermezzo by Nicolene van den Berg
A short quiet story immediately after 'Terminal'.
- Og's Song by Judith Proctor
A lament to the tune of 'Nobody Loves Me, Everybody Hates Me' by the
creature voted least popular alien in almost every poll ever undertaken.
- Headache by Susan Barrett
Totally tongue in cheek version of 'Headhunter'.
- A Time Before We Met by Susan Barrett
After 'Orbit' Avon decides to break free and go back
in time and space with Vila to Earth before they were ever arrested.
Series Five
- Death Hand by Lynne Taylor
Short story in which Vila, fleeing Federation troops sees a
familiar face.
- Flight to Space City by Nicolene van den Berg

changed both of them.

Avon is dead and Tarrant has barely survived two years on a penal colony.
Alone, lacking his fomer confidence, is there a way back for him?
- Blake's 7 Alphabet by Jane Carnall
A is for Avon, etc.
